I'll start by saying that I've never looked at a woman and imagined the rest of my life with her. Thinking about motorboating her titties? Sure, but never "I want to put a ring on it and wake up next to her in the morning." I partly blame my autism and the copious amounts of 'blackpills' and 'redpills' that I've consumed in my developmental years. no, I can talk to women without stuttering. In fact, I am forced to make conversation with them on a daily basis.
Snoot Game managed to make me care about a person that I would have never talked to or given the time of day unless prompted to do so. It made me care about Fang in spite of who she is/was: some cringe woke lesbian genderblob thing. All it had to do was make me sit down and "talk" to this woman for an extended period of time.
For the record, this never happened to me with any manga, anime, cartoons or even any movie, and I think the reason for that is the romance plots in them can be divided into the following categories:
>one dimensional female MC is horny for limp wristed faggot blank slate MC.
>limp wristed faggot MC simps for female MC and gets repeteadly stepped on, and 200 episodes later female MC shows a single tiny grain of affection.
>MC and female MC already like eachother for reasons not shown on camera.
>Romance plot is the most vanilla that you can get. Chad fucks Stacy.
>Female MC is an alt punk drug taking bitch. Male MC is horny for her, chases her and falls down a rabbithole or whatever.
In all of these cases I couldn't for the life of me figure out why any of the parties like or grow to like eachother except for "both of them are hot and they should fuck", "I'm horny", "we touched our hands ehehe" or "oh, they just do" and this left a long lasting resentment in me for this sort of stuff (especially any sort of harem anime). Who knows, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places or consuming shit media.
Snoot Game didn't make the main character horny for or be submissive to the girl from the get-go and in fact induce resentment in him. It didn't make the Female MC horny for the MC either. It gave all of them, including Anon, ample personalities, and it showed me why exactly, two people who should have mixed like water and oil, fell in love with eachother.
For the first time in my life I've seen a way that people can plausibly fall in love or be vulnerable with someone else without any flowery language or simping being involved, yet all of it feeling extremely "human" at the same time. Is that the right word? I think the fact that Anon has a very similar personality to mine helped a lot here. It really inspires me to have something like this in my life, which never happened before.
I skimmed through Wani, to be honest. Didn't have the same emotional investment going into it and I was impatient, but it is competently done. Just as well as snoot game.
