Dandelion and amnesia are the first two that come to memory for me as well, being such huge titles at their times, i would definitely say ive played most english otomes that are out there at present so ill quickly go through my archive and come back to this comment as i feel wizard and ukyo were very similar characters.

Most recently i played through Dead Wishes by violet and it definitely deserves a mention on this topic as found it truly stunning in its method of creating a whole cast of insidious/villainous characters that still come across as human and even in some cases endearing, i think it really shows the effort they went to to ensure that the characters were well rounded despite deep and horrifying flaws.

Soulset & Second chance were also really good in their approach to the amnesia trope in which the true routes were those in which mc was involved with the villain characters forcing the reader to reconsider their actions at the very end under the light of not being the morally ambiguous character they may have seen themselves as.

Dot Kareshi bride of darkness was really lighthearted and fun, and kinda funny in that even amongst a full cast of villains there was a villain route in that one too, my favourite was probably demon king in that one though as opposed to the 'villain route' so i guess its kind-of the exception to the rule?

Also id like to mention Collarxmalice though not playable the villian was really well crafted and inserted into the plot so well that it was hard to notice them, ofc his henchmans route would have definitely qualified as a villain route and i really did enjoy his character, equally clever and broken and even upon facing betrayal its hard not to emphasise with him.

All that being said, i was the kid that liked the bad guys in the kids shows more than the good guys so its not suprising i still feel that way especially with more immersive entertainment such as vns.

My pc crashed halfway through this response and i nearly broke down OTL thankfully i was able to restore it and pick back up where i left off, i know theres probably a lot of excellent games im forgetting but those above are the ones that really stand out in my memory.

Oh I'm sure I'll love it!

As for the dreams, well, I have quite different dreams than most people - I hardly ever have dreams where I appear. So basically, it's like watching a movie. And even when I play a role in the dream, I'm almost never myself, like in the "me I am when I'm awake". In those cases I'm often one of my characters. Konoi is actually a wolf demoness that appears in my dream since I was 3 years old, and I'm always in her body in those dreams. They don't happen often, but each time she's older and lot of stuff have happened in her life.

A lot of the stories I create were actually taken from my movie-like dreams. So I can't really tell that a character visits "me" in a dream since I'm basically not in the dream and I obviously can't interract with them XD. It may be due to the fact I never identify with characters in fiction. For example, when I'm playing a romance VN, I don't project myself into the MC - instead I help them achieve happiness. I'm like a guardian spirit. Well, of course in  games like Baten Kaitos (not a VN, but oh well) where you actualle ARE the main character's guardian spirit, I identify with the caracter I play since it's basically the  role I always think I have when I play - with the exception I can also talk with the main character this time. Though, I tend to argue with Baten Kaitos' hero quite a lot, but that's funny too.

I think because of that, I have dreams about characters from games and series way more than people who are themselves in their dreams, as the dream can be "in context". So yeah, it was my first time dreaming about one of Bermuda's characters, but I often dream about Rama since I love him so much.
