“I love the story and all the characters so much.”
“The story is well-written and the voice actors definitely make you fall in love with the characters themselves!”
“The story has been fleshed out more and I found myself being drawn into the world they'd built so I was always looking forward to playing a new route to see what other details I would find out about not just the chosen guy but also about the characters involved and how everything varied and changed, the world building was amazing.”
“The characters are flat, the story is nothing, and the addition of the wives is kind of terrible.”
“It's hard to describe without giving spoilers, but the story ended abruptly and absolutely not in tone with what just happened.”
“Diana's storyline is so short - only about a third of the time it took me to play through Damien's path.”

“I played the first because it was free and fell in love with it, though it did get tedious to get achievements and I skipped through most everything.”
“I still have a bit of the game to play, farming achievements and such, but if over 20 hours hasn't revealed anything yet, I doubt another 10 will.”
“Eschewing the grinding that you run into in many otome, both 'Seduce Me' and 'Seduce Me 2' emphasize pure story.”
