I Hate Other iM@S derived works

They feel less like characters and more like caricatures, whether through their personalities or designs. I'm already concerned that the original idols have periods of inconsistency and exaggeration, so there's no way I can deal with more than three times that amount. I know it's bias on my part, and I'm not afraid to admit it, but I just can't get behind what amounts to incredibly simple methods of making new characters and making money.

I'm just going to quote this because of how on the money it is. So it bears repeating.

You know why. She's an apple-headed Haruka clone.

I'm also not a fan of Cinderella Girls because the characters just feel like gimmicks. I do like a lot of the characters in Million Live, they feel more like the main idols, but the fanservice is kind of... Yeah.
I do like SideM seeing as how that's pretty much the only choice with male idols, I just wish it could have been done as a portable vita game first or something instead of relying on "CARD GAME!!!1"

Uta no Prince-sama (which seems to be the popular choice), Boyfriend Kari (though that one's a card collectage too)

I like Million Live, a lot. I play almost every single day.
The game itself is a commonly used formula; it isn't special by any means. The characters are kind of interesting to me and I enjoyed reading the comics and the stories for each event to learn more about them. I welcome the fan service. In fact, one of my favorite tags was exploited in a recent event and since it is kind of rare, I was very happy to see it
I've been able to get what I want from every single event without having to spend money, so other than the ガシャ I don't feel like there is any motivation to spend money on the game.
Maybe it should be re-stated that ML is a social game. The social aspect is really what makes this game fun in a way I can't really explain.
In fact the only reason why I continue to play is the social aspect.

For what it's worth I thought I was the only one -- it is what it is and it's only that -- nothing to get worked up over, really. :P
