I think both are good if done right.
For example I want to play the part of the seme in BL games, problem is there are far too little BL games that do that.
Same for Otome, I want to play the part of a woman who is a dom/top, y'know a pegger or futa that penetrates the males, but that is never the case typically, instead the woman is a boring bottom, if I wanted that I would just play hentai games, let's be real here...
