@kwendy fairly sure I were talking about games. It is also why I replied to you clarifying I wasn't referring to the otome novel-genre (at least I have never heard of a novel referred to with the term dating-sim), even though it tends to hold true for it as wellstuff... ...and if you remember then you raise his affection-meter.
This is dating-sim 101
Wasn't that the entire point of naming the genre "female"?
