About playing CN otome games being overseas

I’m going to summary this as much as i can since i posted on X a lot of time ago talking about this and some of the games I shared then sadly have passed to a better life.

List of necessaries:

• Phone number
• ID card
• Email address

The first option: Bilibili account and better one is to create an account on Bilibili it has the option of creating an account with foreigns phone numbers, pretty easy and not a pain in the butt as others… (cof weibo, qq, cof) This is the most friendly CN platform for foreigners and the only requirement to play is to verify your identity. Basically sending an email to the support of the site to be able to verify yout account (with ID) to play. It’s mandatory, either way the app is not going to let you enter any game and neither to play.

*Pros: Once you have verified your account there’s no need of doing it again (for adults that have been verified). Now you can have complete and unlimited access to Bilibili’s catalog of games. (Including otomes bc that’s why we are here)

*Cons: If you are a minor, sadly it has a limit of time for playing, yet it is not impossible to play (just one hour a day i think? bc of CN laws)

Links for the ID verification:

• game.bilibili.com/kf/ (questions about real name authentication)
• https://ldplayer.net/blog/how-to-register-bilibili-acount-to-play-chinese-only-games.html (what you need to write in your email)

Things to have into account:

• Once your account is verified you need to download the game you want to play from the bilibili’s app, other way it wouldn’t work (from what i know), also, check if the game have bilibili’s logo on the cover of the app, it means you can login with your bilibili account without problem.

Second option: Wechat account and most used by me: to create an account of Wechat with a foreign phone number. The complicated step is that you need someone who already has a Wechat account to activate yours. Once you have your account it is not neccesary to verify your identity and you will have access to the minigames of the app (there are some otome games, not a bad option to be honest). Yet, this option is not only useful bc of the miniprograms but also because most CN otome games for android have the option of log in with Wechat or QQ.

Things to have into account:

• Not all apps will have the option of Log In with Wechat, but don’t worry too much, it is rare for it to happen. Also, there is a possiblity that the game after log in succesfully with Wechat asks for a verification of ID (yep, not too common but possible), the bad new is that only Chinese ID is able to pass through it. If you have any CN friend that can lend you their ID then you could possibly play, if not, well, the possibility is not zero but pretty illegal to be honest (later i’m going to talk about it)

Third option: QQ Account This one i don’t recommend it. It is difficult, frustrating and you will need to verify a Chinese ID to be able to play. This option is to create an account of QQ (my worst enemy) but to be honest it is difficut to receive the sms to register the account, if you can do it then you will need to go to the page of QQ to register a Chinese ID, each one can be used for five accounts to allow playing from it. Not really my thing, there is not much in the catalog but rpgs and usually games as Naruto and the ones that are played worldwide (what is good but not what we are looking for lmaoooo)
