Hama asks Akigumo-sensei are so damn pretty.

Oh? Is it going to be something like Neko Atsume or the recent something-something Family?

Idle games, eh, Hama? I've got a few I can recommend (assuming it can be ran on your phone): Antimatter Dimensions, Armory & Machine, maybe Realm Grinder. (Disclaimer: I got real far on the desktop for the last one, but not on the mobile port. Then again, I'm the type that would rather keep his progress on mobile and on desktop separate.)

Idle games. Does she mean clickers, or the type that just makes numbers go up without you having to do anything?

It means any game where the majority of progress is done without player input, some have no player input whatsoever, but most have at least a minimum amount so as to at least look like an actual game. They've gotten really popular on the mobile market recently, to the point that some games treat not having to actually play the game as a "revolutionary and groundbreaking concept" and use it as a big selling point.

See AFK Arena, as an example I've seen far to many ads for. Raid Shitty Legends also likes to advertise its autoplay button as a core feature.

And that's why I offered idles I have personally played, rather than what the advertisers say the game has. I have never played RSL before (and don't intend to), but my guts don't think it was built from ground up as an idle since I have never heard of that tune they're singing.

On another tune of the same tirade, I know 'sex sells', but using it to advertise tings that will not have any of that slimy stuff shown will end up backfiring. (Think smth like Evony at its worst; Evony was an MMORTS, of fucking course it won't have all those scantily-lad women, especially one that's begging for your help!)

I just seems ridiculous for them to advertise not having to play the game as some sort of point in its favor. I mean, if I don't want to play a game, I can just not buy it. Why should buy a game that I'm not going to do anything with?

Idle games are usually F2P, most mobile games have adopted the F2P model. The usual draw is that they're a game you can enjoy and make progress in even if you don't have the free time to play it a lot. Some have extremely predatory inapp purchases, though, Raid being particularly bad about it.

NGU idle is probably my favorite
