A person at the edge of a group of about three men.

Musclehead category?

>>5

Honestly, there are many times when I can’t really tell if someone is just all muscle.

There are no muscle-brained characters in otome games.

Is there no muscle-head character in otome games!?

In Gintama, it’s like the position of a gorilla.

First of all, it’s a non-target.

Even if someone appears tough on the surface, their true nature can actually be home-oriented or quite compassionate, and it’s rare to find someone who’s just a plain brute.

Around the non-target teacher.

I think the image of otome game reincarnation in otome games is probably heavily influenced by Angelique, but even that has slender warrior-type characters.

There are girls who like that sort of thing.

There are no dream girls who think this is good.

This type of character is often one who is masculine and prefers physical attacks over magic, a martial arts type.

Why is it focused on defense when it’s a physical fighter with fire attributes?

>>17

Cool offensive abilities are taken by handsome characters…

It is thought that such people are not even in the sights of the main readers of villainess stories.

It’s like a “fat category.”

Short-haired muscle types don’t have such an outrageous hairstyle, right?

It seems like they’re in the wild character or thug category.

There are no simply muscle-bound characters.

>>23

It feels like a unique sensuality is needed.

Everyone except Grace has pretty ridiculous hairstyles, right?

I wonder if it’s expressing hair that is impossible in the game world.

The area around the sideburns is too unkempt.

Seems like it’s in Zoids.

>>27

Don’t call Raven the serious type with black hair.

In otome games, the muscle-bound character is often positioned as a friend of the target.

I feel like the son of a knight captain holds a status where even casual speech would not be allowed compared to the prince, the prime minister’s son, and the duke’s son.

>>30

If you become a knight commander, you’re usually quite a noble, right?

I just remembered this guy.

>>31

There you are!

A little while ago, in the popularity poll for Dynasty Warriors, it was a wasteland where only male characters who are popular with women could rank high.

>>33

I can’t help but think that Xu Shu’s popularity is due to his performance.

I bet Yamanbushi Kunihiro from Touken Ranbu isn’t popular at all…

I don’t think typical muscle-headed types would be popular, not just among girls.

It’s easy to understand why popular muscle-headed characters become popular.

In otome games, the power type is sometimes handled by the protagonist.

>>38

There are cases where a protagonist can excel because they can unleash maximum power in either art or the occult.

It’s the same as when a muscular woman appears in a dating sim and doesn’t become popular.

>>39

If it were a DL site, it would be in first place…

Power type young lady?!

>>40

If it’s a type that nurtures the main character, then there’s also an optimal solution…

In battle-themed otome games, the protagonist tends to be either really weak or really strong.

What are the elements of popular muscle-bound characters?

Do you actually like sweet things and cute things?

>>46

That’s the kind of work for muscle heads or delinquents, or the cool type.

It’s like Kagome blasting away demons with a beam-like arrow in Inuyasha.

In FF15, Gladiolus has a bit of a mixed reception among female fans.

>>48

What’s inside is more important than the appearance…

>>53

Can’t you switch it up already?

>>48

It’s an old man!

If it’s in the sense of a battle junkie, there might be a type that is all brawn but also has a sensual side.

I don’t feel like Anna can solo the underground dungeon of the academy, but maybe it’s possible with training…

A hairstyle that feels like an original character from Super Robot Wars.

Shota and macho don’t appeal well to women.

If you’re pushy and strong-willed, with sharp features and a lot of upper body exposure, you’ll become a character from a dating sim.

Because there is no such thing as an otome game that has a villainess in the first place.

There’s a vague feeling that a framework like this is somehow necessary and has settled in.

I feel like it’s interesting.

By the way, is the character in the thread a muscle-headed character?

>>58

The description is too sparse to understand…

Maybe not a muscle-brain type.

I’ve seen it in Idolmaster.

I like the shota archetype because it’s cute from a male perspective, but I wonder if women see it as unreliable or feminine.

>>61

I think it often ends at just being simply uninterested and thinking, “Oh, that’s cute.”

Since you can’t actually conquer them individually, to be honest, they are just embellishments.

That’s why I’m not overly fixated on gaining popularity.

Is there no otome game where all the target characters are muscular?

Lady Grace is also quite old!!

>>67

Lady Butterfly is good, right…

Because they are characters from a dating sim-like world prepared by a veteran author for storytelling.

If it were truly a maiden game, it would definitely be slipping up, but since that’s not the case, it can properly be consumed as character individuality.

If it’s a dating sim, this guy would fit in the mold of someone like Kirishima Kanna.

>>69

I see.

Understood.

The number of people is being increased with glasses and narrow eyes, so there is still a lot of facial information.

If someone is the type to be relentlessly aggressive and unruly, they first have to have a good face and a non-fussy hairstyle to be forgiven, right?

>>73

Well… she’s like a heroine with a slicked-back short haircut, muscular build, shaved eyebrows, and tattoos…

>>78

It’s not that outlandish, right…?

Both my daughter and the heroine have somewhat questionable hairstyles, so Lady Grace is a miraculous presence.

I think if a game is reliable in terms of performance, it will become popular.

Otome games tend to be more popular when they have a slightly psycho aspect.

No, seriously.

>>76

I feel the same way about dating sims.

Everyone has quite a bold visual and vibe, don’t they?

I think that shotas and muscleheads shine in specific pairings.

It seems that there is a certain level of popularity for characters aimed at women who are into “shota,” but there is a feeling that they are designed specifically for a niche fetish.

I’ve never seen a work with character designs that are truly aimed at women in a girl game reincarnation story.

>>82

It’s not really a serious story about being reincarnated and capturing female-oriented heroines…

>>82

In otome games, all the guys look like they’re thinking, “You married someone… other than me…” from a man’s perspective.

That kind of personality is non-existent.

>>82

Mobuseka is doing its best, although I feel like green and purple are overlapping.

I realized that Rengoku has a more considerate appearance than I thought.

I think they design the character to be popular in a way that doesn’t draw too much attention because they want to use them as a conveniently helpful sub-character.

>>88

“I don’t want it to become popular, but it looks like this type.”

When I think about designs that need to be communicated, it seems like a high level of difficulty.

The type like Kuwahara from Yu Yu Hakusho seems to have an image that doesn’t appeal to women.

I have the impression that in works aimed at women, characters with a robust build are more popular as a nuance of being like large dogs rather than just muscular types.

I personally would prefer the reincarnated protagonists to become popular, and I think handsome guys are a fairly indifferent genre.

The flames of Rekka that were told by female fans that they don’t need Domon…

>>95

Honestly, it’s not needed even from a male fan’s perspective.

Kuwahara was more of an extra than part of the protagonist group.

>>127

When watching shonen manga or hobby-related content, I realize that boys actually prefer good-looking guys too.

>>132

That’s because cool, handsome guys are usually stronger.

The standard for the appeal of kids’ characters is strength.

>>141

Basically, they’re all rival characters who are equal to the main character…

>>132

It was sad that Someoka-san’s popularity in Inazuma Eleven was not that great.

>>142

That’s someone who made it popular by going against the grain, thinking it was interesting because it wasn’t popular.

>>132

Boys like strong handsome guys, and it seems that weaker handsome guys only appeal to female otaku.

If you say that there aren’t any characters like this in otome games, then there aren’t any villainous noble ladies in otome games to begin with.

Grace-sama is in a classic style, so…

I like Kuwahara because he’s a good guy, but I understand that I don’t need the merchandise.

>>99

Terrible.

>>99

Certainly, I can’t imagine making an altar in Kuwahara at all.

I wonder if having a protagonist with a half-brother who is a noble with horns would be well-received in this era… Probably not.

There aren’t many female-oriented eroge with extremely short hair.

It’s like a short hairstyle category for dating sims.

Otaku really like characters with long hair.

https://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20240523048/

This article was quite interesting.

There are quite a few characters that seem like that, but there are few that clearly match the image of the villainous noblewoman.

Would a person be happy if they were offered 1 million yen to receive 100 items of goods related to Himejima Gyomei?

I’ll just think of it that way.

>>108

If you asked me if I want it, I wouldn’t want it…

In BL games, there’s usually one gorilla-type character, but I guess it’s like a demand for the role of the “seme.”

If you want to know what women like, maybe you should look at those mysterious otome game-like mobile games that show up in advertisements. It feels like female fans who read shonen manga are in a slightly different category.

>>110

In social games, there are likely to be characters like this because the approach is to hit a large number of targets.

It disappears when the number of targets to conquer is narrowed down.

But if I keep my hairstyle simple and dye it blonde, it might get pretty popular.

Like Havoc from Fullmetal Alchemist.

I have the impression that in otome games, the female characters of the same age often start off as enemies but usually reconcile later on.

An image that combines a shoujo manga featuring a bad-tempered young lady character from Angelique.

I would like to ask the person who made the villainess trope popular what they had in mind.

>>114

The chick cake teacher won’t answer anymore…

>>114

I don’t really understand what sparked the trend of villainess stories.

Successfully applied the image that most people had in some way.

It’s interesting how the villainess that never actually existed established itself as a genre.

Mothers and grandmothers are usually the villains.

I was shocked to see that many female voice actresses I follow, who mainly work in eroge, are often featured in otome and yaoi drama CDs and 18+ otome games, as they promote them frequently.

It’s just like Cinderella’s stepmother and sisters.

I thought Guell was like this frame.

>>121

Somehow… it became quite popular…

>>124

I think the popularity of the three men has settled down to a draw.

>>130

Elan gives the impression of being a head above the rest.

>>121

It’s a liner from the Gundam world.

Women don’t really like masculinity.

The masculinity that appears in works aimed at women is a form of masculinity that has been refined to be more enjoyable for women.

>>122

The battle development is ultimately liked by the male demographic after all.

If a handsome guy opens his mouth, it’s all dad jokes, so you can’t help but wonder what game developers are thinking.

>>123

I’ve seen beautiful girl characters in games that make puns every time they open their mouths…

The natural muscles end up having lower specs than the slender villainess, and the good-natured traits are mostly taken away by others, making it a pitiful existence.

I thought Ch. was in the muscle-bound category, but I was surprised to find out he is popular among girls.

>>128

It’s a character that has the potential to become popular as an ordinary person grows.

I think the popularity among girls is due to the BL demand for Badini-san.

>>128

It seems that Okuzhi-kun has great synergy with Badeni-san.

There are people like this in FGO, but they are only popular among homosexuals.

>>129

He’s like a thick steak for homosexuals.

The women watching “Mercury’s Witch” are probably a different group from those who play otome games…

I think what I actually wanted was to be a rich girl from a mean-spirited shoujo manga, even though the demand was for a reincarnation story set in a game-based world, so I just approached it as an otome game.

I like Shaddiq, so I want to create fan art, but if I deviate too much, it won’t feel like Shaddiq anymore…

Kuwahara is a presence like light among humans, and she has done about three things that the heroine does…

>>140

But I don’t need the goods…

Even though the Hashira of Demon Slayer is strong, I don’t hear that they are popular, so I wonder if being strong is really enough.

Even if Lu Bu is strong, he’s not popular in China…

>>149

It has nothing to do with women!

>>149

Without the spirit of chivalry… like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei…

Sometimes I think, “Wow, this content I like has actually been developed into such women’s goods…”

Is there anyone who would choose Kuwabara over Hiei and Kurama?

It’s kind of annoying that there are only handsome guys and no one like Kuwabara, as it seems aimed at fujoshi, but I don’t particularly like Kuwabara, so I think there’s a dilemma there.

>>153

It’s like the mixed vegetables that come with the hamburger; they’re necessary, but whether they’re popular is a different story.

I just remembered that only Kuwahara’s merchandise was left over at Animate.

>>155

I just remembered that the Chocolate Love merchandise sold out immediately at Mankin.

I wonder which one is better…

>>163

Why!? I thought for a moment, but it’s because of the production volume…

>>155

Was it already made…

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not specifically content for women.

The Rock Pillar has a strong appearance trait, but its active role comes too late.

The Rock Pillar was kind of creepy from the first meeting…

If we think based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a man with a long beard would probably become the most popular.

…When I think back, I liked the kind Kurama when I was a kid, but I didn’t really like the loud Kuwabara that much.

Chinese people like strategist characters, so their standard of strength is not military power but intelligence.

That’s why Kongming has become a lifetime honorary target for ridicule.

Cao Pi’s body pillow…

It’s amazing that the liner is quite popular.

>>166

It’s the same with Guell.

Being miserably pushed to the bottom and slurping on sewage while being abused is popular.

There was a dating sim where the beast-eared girl, Guan Yu, was pursued by Cao Cao…

Rei is cool! But Fudou was a bit disappointing…

>>170

But I won against the Fist King!

Because there are ugly people and old men, handsome men shine.

Works with only handsome men are somewhat questionable.

I have a pretty fun memory of being assigned military council duties as a disciple of Kongming in a dating sim game.

It’s hard to read Demon Slayer without the Rock Pillar, only having the Water Pillar and the Mist Pillar.

In Angelique, is it around Oscar or Randy in this category?

It’s a bit different from a muscle brain.
