Lover’s Lens

Writer, Gamer Girl, Podcast Host, Cat Lover

Passionate about all things Otome, I dive deep into the world of visual novels and charming characters. With a keen eye for detail and a heart full of love, I review Otome games to help fellow fans find their next romantic adventure. When I’m not immersed in fictional romances, you can find me sipping tea, sketching cute fan art, experimenting with new dessert recipes, or getting lost in cozy books. I also own a very cute cat named Peanut.
