Ha I looked up "Normal Me and Abnormal Friends" and for a moment my brain went "Wait, some phone-based VNs have MALE protagonists?" before realising that presumably a lot of them do I just don't hear about them.

heh! Well, Lovestruck recently started having stories that have female and (gay) male MCs, and I've seen a few phone otome companies do games that have gay male MCs, though outside Lovestruck I haven't tried any of those.

But outside those contexts Normal Me is pretty much all I've seen. Well... maybe if you count some of Gagex's games such as Oden Cart as Visual Novels? It might be stretching the defintion though given there is (simple) gameplay to get that text that is the bulk of the appeal of the game (Gagex's games are excellent, powerful enough that some of them really give me Nostalgia for a childhood in Japan in a time before I was born.)

OH! Lady Wizard do Visual Novels with Idle game mechanics and one is "Prince Snow White". I didn't play much of it but the protagonist is a male Snow White (and instead of Seven Dwarves it has Seven Grandmas).

Oh, interesting! And I didn't know that about Lovestruck, I should check them out again.

For mxm in Lovestruck Prince Charming's route in Ever After Academy is pretty good (at least, the first chapter was. I'm quite behind) and the newest series, Immortal Heart Society, has one mxm but I haven't tried it at all yet. Prince Charming was the first mxm route in Lovestruck iirc, so that they're doing another indicates that it was good enough to be successful.

Thank you!

A m/m romance with Prince Charming sounds fun :)
