Abstract [en]

Otome game is a role-playing game targeted to female players, with immersive romance as the main game experience. Female players assume the role of a female character and engage in the romantic relationships with different outstanding male characters. However, these characters from different games share too many similarities, and they possess numerous "perfect" design details, such as slim bodies, beautiful appearance, wealthy family, low combat abilities, etc. These unrealistic character representations impact the player's experience, and most importantly, they create a stark contrast with the male character images, especially in terms of physique and social status. The purpose of this study is to analyse the similarities among female characters from 12 games in terms of appearance, profession, and characteristics. By combining player comments, the study aims to examine the influence of female stereotypes on these character images and their relationship with traditional gender norms.
