Seeking Games with shy non-loser MC's

[Typhu]

Basically, I'm looking for titles where the main character is a bit on a shyer side: not completely confident, anxious of social situations, not terminally horny, things like that be it due to their innate personality, trauma or just general depression. But also, they shouldn't fall into the complete loser trope where they can't get anything done/be a complete pushover.

I'd also accept reactive games (if there are any) where you can roleplay as this archetype through choices/dialogue/character creation and have the game reflect that. The gender of the MC doesn't matter, can be male/female/anything in between.

Bonus points if the game focuses more on romance rather than sex.

Some examples of games with those kinds of MC's I'm looking for are Uni (if going no corruption) and Crimson Gray.

No NTR or gay content (lesbian would be an exception).

https://f95zone.to/threads/zombies-retreat-v1-0-4-sirens-domain.11431/ iirc in this and the sequel the LIs usually take the lead. I'd also play A Zombie's Life first, but it's not here anymore for whatever reason.

https://f95zone.to/threads/snow-daze-the-music-of-winter-v1-6-outbreak-games.142/ Quiet pushover MC mind-controls his family.

https://f95zone.to/threads/accidental-mind-v3-5-myscra.55146/ iirc MC is kind of a geek, but obtains mind-control powers and gets schooled in seduction.

I won't bring up every text-based game where you can roleplay as shy / submissive, but LT specifically has such an archetype last I played, male or female.

Alexander Ward from Sorcerer is more reclusive than shy, but he fits the other criteria.
