Other then that it’s a great game that I would recommend. ### 3/5 — Really fun but *2025-04-30, version 8.8.1* I can't even progress through the story i want because of the stupid jewel system. I refuse to spend money on this thing ### 4/5 — i want the other version back *2025-04-20* I’ve been on Otomania for a few years now. I remember when you could get any ending you wanted. Of course, some special endings costed diamonds, but you didn’t have to worry about the game play too much to get the ending you desired. Now, if you don’t do certain things, you can’t get all the endings. Very frustrating and it feels like a waste of time. I feel like that’s what set Otomania apart from the other story games I have on my phone. Now it’s just like them. It’s crazy that I can do all this work with all the characters, just to have only one name show up at the end. Definitely disappointed😔. I loved Otomania but now I feel like it’s not even the same game. All that reading and spending all those tickets to end up with a certain someone just for him to not even be on my list, so sad🥺. ### 3/5 — Cool but expensive *2025-04-15, version 8.8.1* All the stories seem super cool but every choice needs gems/diamonds and the only way to get more is to buy with real money AND the prices are expensive for small amounts of gems ### 2/5 — Could we have another way to get more diamonds?? *2025-03-09, version 8.8.1* Dear Otomania Team, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to express my appreciation for Otomania—I’ve truly enjoyed playing the game! However, I’ve noticed that obtaining diamonds can be quite challenging. At the beginning, we receive very few, and acquiring more requires purchasing them, which can be limiting for players who prefer a more accessible experience. I believe introducing additional ways to earn diamonds would enhance the overall enjoyment of the game. For example, implementing a daily reward system—similar to the tickets—where players could earn a set amount of diamonds each day (e.g., 200) would make the experience more engaging. Another potential solution could be allowing players to watch ads in exchange for diamonds. I sincerely hope you will consider these suggestions, as they could make the game even more enjoyable and accessible for a wider audience. Thank you for your time, and I appreciate all the effort you put into creating such a wonderful game. ### 3/5 — Where's the slot machine? I know there isn't one. *2025-03-07, version 8.8.1* I never installed this specific app on my Android (phone) until today. I've been playing your games for several years now and I love them, I always look forward to reading them especially those I favorited over the years, I reread them, I never seem to grow tired of them. I have a request, please include the slot machine. In order for me to actually enjoy this app I need the slot machine otherwise, I have to use my Android (Google play store) so I can play the games separately because the apple app store doesn't have all the games separately, they are all in this one app. Please! Add the slot machine. ### 4/5 — Great! But relies on money *2025-02-09, version 8.8.1* This game is has great visuals and stories, unfortunately if you want better choice options you need to pay money for rubies. Biggest issue is its hard to obtain them for free (no option to watch ads or anything for them). Creators please make getting rubies easier or have the options cost less! Ticket timer also takes too long, make it an hour at least instead of waiting two! ### 2/5 — Thanks for fixing the problem *2025-02-05, version 8.8.1* Why can’t I watch the adds on time ?????? I can only watch one add after 5 hours of waiting and sometimes that doesn’t work either. It’s not fair. Please fix this issue. I can’t play this game without the diamonds and to get the diamonds I need to get the trade coins and for that I need to watch adds which I can only do after every 5 hours. So please fix this problem. ### 4/5 — Не работают некоторые новеллы *2025-01-16, version 8.8.1* Игра нормальная, но некоторые новеллы вообще не открываются. Я ещё несколько месяцев назад об этом писала, но ничего не изменилось. Пожалуйста, сделайте так, чтоб все новеллы работали ### 2/5 — It’s okay.. *2025-01-15, version 8.8.1* The game and stories are great but it lacks opportunities for users to actually get gems that are needed to make progress in the stories. I played many amazing games that give you many opportunities to get gems for FREE, and it’s a shame that this game can’t do that. ### 2/5 — No way to earn rubies to purchase exclusive choices…. *2025-01-09, version 8.8.1* I love the stories but I hate that there is no way to earn the rubies needed to purchase those exclusive choices that I want. You can only purchase the rubies. That’s kind of stupid and so limited…. Definitely deleting even though I really liked Zero. ### 3/5 — Cheap rewards amazing stories *2025-01-09, version 8.8.1* I gave the review 3 stars because the stories are amazing but the rewards are cheap like you d’ont get a welcome back gift wen you login after like a very long time of not login in and the login rewards are cheap to the highest login reward is 3 gems and that’s if you login at a specific time period the seventh day and don’t even try to get gems with free gift boxes they only give ou points or tickets and rarely gives gems. The problem is that in order to do the special choices you almost always have to pay 20 gems or more so that a lot of waiting for gems. Sure you can trade for gems with points but it takes an insane amount of points to do that and is worth trading, for example 120 points gives you 10 gems and you get your points by watching videos in the stories but I’ll give you 30 gems and have to wait 4h I think for another video. You can complete tasks that are almost impossible to complete and you will get a good amount of gems if you do but you only have a month to do so. There also the daily tasks of reading 4 chapters with tickets but they don’t seem to give the rewards because I’ve read more than four chapters many times and I didn’t get anything. Butom line is that if you want to play with the special choices you are better off buying yourself a gem stock or try the story you want to play somewhere else if possible. the actual story in the App Store might be less cheap in there rewards who knows. ### 3/5 — Otomania *2024-12-01, version 8.8.1* I like this game, but unfortunately we couldn't choose several partners at the end, I find that a shame. ### 4/5 — Problem with tickets *2024-11-27, version 8.8.1* I love this app. But since the update a couple days ago to fix the bug I can only use 2 out of the 3 tickets. It been saying 1/3 tickets and not letting me us the one ticket. ### 4/5 — 🐁🐍🐉🐂🐅 *2024-11-17, version 8.8.0* I liked the whole series but I liked that the Chinese zodiac series the snake was a suitor ### 2/5 — 怎么选中文啊啊 *2024-11-09, version 8.8.0* 一开始的语言也没有中文啊骗人啊 ### 4/5 — One problem *2024-10-26, version 8.7.1* Ive been playing genius inc. games for years now and I love the style and stories the characters and everything, the only issue with otomania is that it doesn’t have the slot machine ruby system like the others did that allow you to actually experience the full version of the stories with time spent playing the game instead of money and it’s just not as fun now. ### 4/5 — ✨..Wishes Can Be Wishes..✨ *2024-10-10, version 8.7.1* I just wish we could watch ads for rubies!!!!!!!! It’s breaks my heart more than the characters to turn them down when they need/want affection!!! ### 3/5 — Falta de juegos y rubíes *2024-07-24, version 8.7.0* Todo está bien echo pero, porque no hay juegos para conseguir más puntos y tampoco hay misiones cada día solo hay tres y se demoran una eternidad para completar, creo que al comienzo dan muy pocos rubíes ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lowkey bores me 💔💔 *2025-02-23, version 8.8.1* Add some lesbians in this game. And make a mafia x princess type story. And men with long hair 🤤 ### 1/5 — Stole my money :( *2024-06-04, version 8.6.0* I genuinely love this game so much, but it is very, very hard to earn gems in this game, nearly impossible so I had to purchase some and I bought 100 gems, didn’t spend any, but when I opened the app later on, I only had 9 gems left. this game stole my gems and most importantly it stole my money. I can’t risk losing money right now so I’m going to have to stop using this app unfortunately. I am very frustrated, but I’m also really sad because I did truly enjoy using this game. ### 1/5 — Too expensive to enjoy *2024-02-17* This game would be great if it weren’t for the fact that all the choices cost money to make. Sure you can play for free by just not doing anything fun or experiencing the full story. But if you want to actually participate in the story and romance the characters, you have to spend money on it. Up to $5 or even $10 per choice which is definitely not worth the few extra lines they give you. Also I can see the devs replying to other reviews of people with other issues like a glitch deleting their chapter tickets but just blatantly ignoring the many people in agreement with my point of view. So it is clear to me that they have no intention of fixing this issue and even though the stories are great and have lots of potential to bring in many customers, I can’t help but feel that because of the high cost to enjoy and blatant refusal to reply to reviews who agree with me, that the main goal and reason for the apps creation is to get in your pockets to line their own, then drop the game completely when their satisfied. ### 1/5 — e *2024-01-31, version 8.5.0* GIVE US MORE GEMSS 😭😭 ### 1/5 — horrível *2023-12-20, version 8.4.0* tem pouco desenvolvimento de personagens,a protagonista e mais parada que uma pedra para fazer escolhas para avançar com intimidade e amizade e tão caro que nem mesmo poderia jogar 3 cap com 100 diamante oque e isso!??? horrível ### 1/5 — Skyrocketing Costs in Choice Games: Is It Worth the Price? *2023-10-18, version 8.3.0* Be prepared to potentially spend over $70+ to fully enjoy this game. I enjoy choice-based games, but this one leans more towards a "pay-to-play" model, where you're often forced to spend $5 to $10 per choice to experience the charming moments. Additionally, the cost of these choices increases as the story progresses. I wouldn't mind if each choice only required 5 to 10 gems; that would be much more reasonable, and I'd be willing to invest in the game. However, the current pricing feels quite exploitative, so I won't be spending any money on this game, and I'd advise you not to either. ### 1/5 — eh *2023-03-11, version 7.2.3* This game would be a lot more fun if you actually got to choose your gender. As someone who isn’t and doesn’t like being referred to as a girl, I feel rather uncomfortable playing this. ### 1/5 — Bad for earning points. *2022-06-05, version 7.1.2* When I want to earn points that It come up with surveys but after everyone of them, it always says oops the researchers wanted something different. So will I have to pay for the points and it's kinda stupid since my friend has this game and she can play games to earn points. ### 1/5 — Can’t earn coins or change gender *2021-05-28, version 6.0* It’s impossible to earn gems, because you can’t earn coins, because the button is broken/inaccessible on iPhone 11 and 12. It’s hidden under the home indicator bar. You also can’t change your gender, which is frustrating. Playing Otome games doesnt automatically make me a girl or use she/her pronouns. ### 1/5 — Not lgbt friendly *2020-12-16, version 5.0* No gender options, very exclusionary of gay men. I just want to date a hot demon as my own gender that I identify as. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Literally otome heaven *2025-04-02, version 8.8.1* There are so many good stories up here with so many different art styles it’s amazing! And they constantly come out with different stories and some of them even have multiple seasons, but the best part? The diamond choices are optional and even if you don’t choose them you will not get a bad ending! 10/10 from me. ### 5/5 — Change gender *2025-01-28, version 8.8.1* Can we have a option where we can change genders male or female ### 5/5 — ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! *2025-01-20, version 8.8.1* I love this game a lot, all the story lines are unique and sometimes spicy, but I love it!❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-01-05, version 8.8.1* What a beautiful game totally luv it so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — E *2024-12-14, version 8.8.1* Very flashy, very flamboyant ### 5/5 — BEST THING EVER *2024-10-24, version 8.7.1* I absolutely love and adore this game. There’s so many different genres of stories to choose from and they’re all so special in their own ways. You’ll never have to pay to read. But! If you want certain things to happen you do need gems- which you have to pay for or win. I hate to admit I’ve spent more money than I wish I have on this game, but to me, it’s worth it because I love the stories so much! Definitely worth the time and you should check it out. I rarely leave reviews for games, but I know how hard it is finding a decent one like this. GET IT!🫶 ### 5/5 — Great graphics ! *2024-10-11, version 8.7.1* The games are just amazing, I’ve been reading its stories for a long time now and they never fail to disappoint, they have amazing characters and graphics. However I was wondering if we’re getting season 4 for twilight fangs as season 3 introduced Xenon and didn’t had a proper ending or similar endings to all the other stories. In my opinion it would be great if y’all were to put Xenon as an option for season 4! 🥹 ### 5/5 — Ag *2024-10-08, version 8.7.1* Пожалуйста, верните Lullaby of Demonia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Прошууу ### 5/5 — Please can you make Twilight school a game *2024-08-11, version 8.7.1* I would love to play it as it’s own game ### 5/5 — Bug *2024-07-18, version 8.7.0* Ots very good but i dont know when im gonna read twilight fang school its bug please do something on it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
