    Yeah. Yanderes do have many fans. As for me, they are my least favorite trope since I prefer characters who will treat the MC better than they do. I do understand that it's just a fantasy for the people who like yanderes, but I just prefer LIs who will treat the MC in a more healthy way.

      I think that's what's bothering me on the Love Spell childhood friend. He lets his "mean girl" girlfriend/MC's frenemy treat her like crud but he was the literal soul mate route. Japanese yandres may treat you bad but heaven help you if someone outside the relationship insults his woman. Meanwhile Mammon(Obey me!) is sorta cute on it but Leviathan even tells him yo dude yandres are so last spring.

      I love that little touch of crazy like in reality when you don't expect the person to be like "you will be mine or we will die together" but it is in the end, and those little glimpses of obsessive are noticable just in retrospection. I had that satisfaction playing Kuroba and getting bad ending in Olympia Soiree. It is just perfect.

    I am sucker for tsunderes. I know this game is NOT an Otome, but when I watched someone play Fire Emblem: 3 Houses, I was drawn to Felix from the Blue Lions and his confession scene to female Byleth had me in stitches, especially when he did a classic tsundere trope- turning your back on the MC when you're flustered. But yeah after watching the "teaser trailer" for Cupid Parasite, I instantly guessed who the tsundere one was lol. I also did like the "silent" dere. For me it does give off that 'mysterious vibe' that always draws me in.
    Your least fav is my least fav too. It just feels wrong. But I wouldn't like the 'older man' trope either, ick.

      Ahhhh if you like Tsundere’s, I recently played Red’s route from Taisho x Alice, and he has become one of my favourite Tsunboys!!! Would highly recommend if you’re okay with all the trigger warnings. Ryuki was such a joy 🥰 and Riku’s brushy face from Olympia Soiree was another to die for moments 😍

      At first Helvetica kinda annoyed me, I wrote him off as the kinda narcissistic or womanizer character, but there were moments when he would say something that was really deep and beautiful, and even though I didn't want to admit it he definitely was the guy with the most logic and profound personality to me. I played through his route last because I began to grow attached to him character slowly until he became my favorite.
      Then I played his route and fell in love with him 😭 Helvetica hands down is my favorite.

    I started playing Yosuga's route and when I first met Riku, I saw him as nothing more than a man with a stick up his ass. But as I saw him more frequently and saw him get flustered a few times I realized it was nothing more than a hard exterior to protect his soft center that I wish to get to once I finish Yosuga's route. I felt the same way for Takeru in Collar Malice. I thought it'd be impossible for him to win me over, but once I got past his harsh words, I realize how much of a softie he is for the MC and I LOVE him. Yup, I definitely have a soft spot for tsunderes. Oh! And childhood friends are definitely one of my personal favorites, especially if they're redheads.

However, I've seen a trend of me liking soft-yandere (for lack of a better term besides "velcro-clingy but not stabby" yandere) menhera guys. Charles-Henry Sanson from Ikemen Vampire and Azusa fron Diabolik Lovers (at least from what I can tell) both fit.

    Nice video! Very interesting.
    My favorite tropes are tsundere, kuudere and dandere.
    I like that, in the beginning, they (tsunderes, kuuderes and danderes) don't care much for the main character or even dislike the main character in some cases (usually with tsunderes), but then we see the development of the relationship, we see them start to care for the MC and fall in love with her.
    Also, with tsunderes, I like when there is some bickering, some back and forth, between them at first. And then we see them falling in love with each othe and start being more caring.
    As for examples ...
    My favorite otome tsundere LI is Rod Widdensov from Cinderella phenomenon. And, by the way, Lucette, the MC of this game, is another great tsundere.
    A kuudere ... well, I don't ship Hanzo much with Enju and I prefer her with Gekkamaru, but Hanzo himself is a great example of kuudere.
    As for dandere ... I haven't seen many danderes in the games I played, but I like Darren from the game Nicole.

    I'm not sure with Hijikata classified as Dandere. But maybe it's because I often listened him in Drama CDs, which showed more of his kinder and hilarious side.
    I thought Tokisada is supposed to be the shota of the Olympia Soiree? Sure, Himuka looks young, but I think Tokisada fits more for the shota title.
    I'm okay with most poster boys... My problem with most poster boys is their typical characteristic of being "perfect-like" and other characters often implied in the game the poster boy is the most suitable for heroines, etc. The character themselves aren't bad, but it became boring and repetitive to have characters with these characteristics as poster boys. The only poster boys that I know didn't follow this "tradition" is Hijikata and Chitose from Toki no Kizuna.
    Yandere...yeah, I don't like this type. There're some that I can tolerate as long as not too much like Tohma (no offense, really). For a second, I thought Iba from Hakuoki could be a yandere, but he's not (to my relief). 😅
    I wonder if the time will come where we can see more characters who are none at all of the typical tropes.

    • @RestingPeachFace
      @RestingPeachFace  3 года назад +1

      So I feel like tropes can be subjective to some extent! I used Hijikata as an example because he has a cool demeanour and doesn’t speak unless necessary until the MC gets to know him, and then you finally see the dere, or “kinder/cute” side 🥰
      I felt like Tokisada and Himuka were both shota tropes (as they both look childlike), which was what I felt sad about OS, but the others made up for it - I feel like games don’t necessarily have to have one of that trope. Sweet Clown only had menhera tropes, for example.
      I agree with what you say about poster boys, they probably become boring due to the “they were meant to be” situation. I also feel like they tend to just be eye candy hahaha.
      Yanderes aren’t for everyone, definitely 😂
      I personally like them because of the shocking things they do 😍 it makes the story interesting lol.
      There have been a couple of games where I struggled to box them, but all in all I feel like the tropes often exist because they are so popular 🙂

      本当ですか!?ありがとうございます!実は英語分からないのですが、乙女ゲームについて楽しくおしゃべりしている姿を見て幸せな気持ちになってついコメントしてしまいました♡(笑)もしVerguntyの動画が上がったらすぐにチェックさせていただきますね!

      やっぱ乙女ゲームになると大好きなので語る時に顔がニヤニヤしちゃって、言葉が分からなくても伝わる物なんですね😂
      外国の方でも日本語を学んで乙女ゲームを遊ぶ方もいるので、感想動画でクロエさんの作品も遊んでみようと思う人はいると思います💕英語で申し訳ないんだけど、動画を作ったらツイッターにも載せますね!
      動画を見てくれて有難うございます!💖
