I've never played an Otome game before. Is it common for the antagonist/villain to be more attractive than the protagonist/heroine?
Maybe it's the same in most VN genres, and I just don't notice because I'm not into guys?

ok, so basically you are gay

I don't know about Otome, but in most VNs the protagonist is just a blank selfinsert with a generic design, so is not hard for the rivals to be more interesting design-wise

I was listening to a vtuber talk about it a while ago, and she was saying how these reincarnated as a villainess series were a bit odd, having a villainess is not a common trope in otome games anyways, rarely they have it but generally not
Jordan Gonzalez
Now that I find surprising. Given how much women hate each other in real life, I figured villains would be super common, to have a hatesink in their fantasy games to represent "that bitch at work/school//family" that she hates.

The "Villainess" trope is almost completely absent in otome games, at least in the way it's presented in these manga and light novels. Essentially, what's being done is transplanting the rival characters from older shoujo series into an otome game setting.
Nolan Cook
I take it your not into foreheads?
Tyler Sanchez
oh yeah now I remember, that's what the vtuber said too, that it happens in shoujo manga but not in otome games
David Nguyen
Why did they play the opening 10 minutes into the episode? that part was a little strange to me.
Jaxson Rivera
That vtuber is correct. There's rarely the rival villainess trend in actual otome games. Experience real otome.
