If you're too lazy to calculate:
    Less than 4 hr/week = approx. 30 minutes daily
    7 - 14 hr/week = 1 - 2 hours daily
    21 - 35 hr/week = 3 - 5 hours daily

There are 168 hours in a week, by the way. The only way I can imagine how some people spend more time than I do is if they greet in multiple games every single day or consistently finish entire routes within days. That said, I probably only play 4-5 hours a day, which is still rather lengthy when paired next to whatever else I do every day. It just feels longer to me because I am constantly thinking about/working on things related to otome games and load and lag time is often a killer since I play a dispersed amount throughout the day.

I know that some otoge have been giving polls like this, so I am curious what people answer. Before my smart phone, I played maybe one otome game every couple or few months and lost only a few days of sleep since I prefer to play all at once. Since nothing was timed, I was in no hurry other than to know what happens next. After I started using my phone, it almost immediately jumped up to a large portion of my day. Now, I have been playing every day without fail for almost a couple years and increased my game load to over a dozen otoge apps with daily recharge. It gets even worse during game events.

I'm curious as well. How many hours people spend on playing those games?

I get addicted to gaming quickly, so I set myself a goal of not playing anything that's not SF+ hahaha... I really wanted to play that  Nifdfhcghhjkbg game, but it looks like you have to spend money to get extra stories and that's a deal breaker for me...

I spend 1-2 hours per day on SF+, so I feel a sort of awe for people who play more than one game... But my time spent on SF+ is divided like this: 60% greeting 110+ people, 30% story reading and training, 10% updating my various SF-related excel files LOL wwwwwwww

I'd have to say I play around 25-35 hours a week. After I got my first smartphone I soon discovered otome games and since then I've been addicted starting with MSB and BMP. I'm not only an "otome-holic" but I'm also a "game-o-holic." Really, I think I have too much time on my hands.

Just doing parties or battles daily takes about 2 hrs per day already. Plus reading the daily episodes and any additional purchased stories, it's really time consuming. I always wonder where all my time after work goes to.n :whistle:

Too much that I'm sure :sweat:

Usually around 2hrs per day, sometimes more, that would put me in 16 - 20 bracket, I guess. It adds up quickly  :bash2:

don't know.. I'd say between 1 and 5, 'cause when I play, I can also play other games.
Or, sometimes,  I can play 1 or 2 hours long in a day, but not everyday. So it depend greatly of my free time and I haven't that much.
 some weeks it well be 1 to 5 hours, some others it will be 6 to 10, but it's seldom.

Well, it heavily depends!
Sometimes I play 1 hour per day but most of the time I just grab my login reward, maybe take 5 love lessons on CC and that's it. I don't have much free time atm so I only read the stories on weekends, and other than that, there's not much to do.
But when there's an event I'm playing a lot XD

When I was still diligent enough to train and greet daily, I was playing only 1 or 2 games, 3 at most. Now the number is getting out of hand but I'm not as passionate with them as before. At the moment, I only play them from time to time, mostly to get the daily login bonus. So maybe 30-45' a day for now, and 2-3 hours/day back when I was more devoted :P

Ah, this poll is making me feel less grimy about my situation.

Addiction is exactly why I'm playing so much. *in pain* I originally told myself "no MMORPGs" for the sake of my addictions, but otome games snagged me up just as easily. I somehow find myself even playing when I have other crucial tasks to tend to. Frankly, much of that time is actually spent screenshotting. The lag time between screenshots is so long... If I were just straight reading, my time cuts down significantly, which is why I usually only screenshot limited-time stories and game endings.

I do the SWD Training things every day, but I only greet when I feel that I need to or just start a game. Lately, however, I keep hitting full energy because I need to do other stuff. It makes me feel bad for my games. XD;; At the same time, I feel horrible that I am not doing more real-life productive stuff. Today alone, I spent about fifteen hours of the day preoccupied with otome games-related dealings. >__> Yesterday, I was all, like, I'm going to work on our installation! But BMP: PARTY was released several hours earlier, and I just HAD to get to a suitable stopping place in that. So I played and played and played right next to my friend who was diligently working on her own team's installation. Over two hours dedicated to gaming right there.

For me it really depends, there are times when I definitely could pick more than 35 hours, but there are also times when I spend 30 minutes daily...
For me it usually depends on my mood. When I'm in a really bad mood or sad, I simply find no pleasure in anything, including these games and then all I do is log in daily and that's it.
When I'm in the mood to play, I really do play, including training (or whatever it's called in the individual game). Plus, I tend to play a lot more when there are events I'm interested in, especially long-term events. I often don't feel like rushing through something in a day or two, so unless I'm REALLY interested in something and think it really is possible to get the rewards, I think carefully whether I'll play or not. Events really make me more active, but if they overdo it (the crazy period of event after event this summer/fall), I just get frustrated and decide to forget about it.
I also started deleting apps that simply had no more events or updates. Many didn't interest me anymore and now I think more before downloading apps, simply because I don't feel like installing games that just don't suit my taste to begin with. I didn't get many new games and there seem to be more and more, but unless something really catches my attention, I don't bother getting it. I can spend a lot of time on these games and am completely unable to stop logging in once I download a game, so I'll really think twice before getting a game just to find out it might not be what I want...

Wow...I play alot of these games.  I'd say 3/4 hours a day and more on the weekends.  I switch now from otomes to HM/RF.  I usually move from one obsession to the other.  Was on WOW alot, now it's otomes.  Otomes everywhere!  I'm drowning in them.  I have them on my phone(made myself give up the free ones), psp(re purchesed one to play them) and PC.

A lot of time on them (not it :giggle:)...around 3-4 hours a day..especially when the spin off comes out and at the same moment it's like all the game has spin off.. :dizzy: ..when it happened sometimes there are times I'm just staring at the phone for a while and thinking what should I do now  :rofl: :rofl:
but when I'm quite busy I just try to log in so I don't miss the login sheet, once I's so tired I ended up pressing the next button and the morning I wake up, I didn't know a thing about the story the day before  :bash2:
