Hello, I'm from France, and I mostly play at Japanese otome games, but it feels like it's impossible to meet another player irl. I tried, but failed, the best I found is one time a lad player, but I don't play at it.
When I finish a game I would like to talk to someone like a friend, sharing a conversation about otome games in general, future releases, etc. This reddit is good for it, but making friends... I have no idea how to do so.
I also dream to go to a cafe with someone to talk, or even try to craft stuff related to otome games.
So here, I'm asking you fellow otome games fan, how do you do to make friends who also like otome games online or/and irl?
I'll be annoying, but the only tips I can't follow is going to big events. When there's a lot of people, I feel unfortunately very uncomfortable or even sick.
Also I noticed that there are more French players than I expected here, thank you, you're giving me hope by being there. Because I have the impression it's a very lonely hobby in France.
