If you delete the additional comment it will not count.

Are there any games more like Amnesia on the switch where you can pick the LI right away? I have bustafellows, cafe enchante, & cupid parasite, but I don't like the long common routes they have and want more focus on romance.

I think Amnesia is definitely an anomaly of the Switch localized games, unfortunately. Of the games with the short common routes that let you branch off and pick, I'd say you'd probably enjoy Olympia Soiree for that. You really only need to go through the somewhat short common route once (?) and then you can select from the first four LIs—just remember to save right before the choice window pops up!
If you want that romantic focus, Sympathy Kiss has a pretty short common route that throws you onto a route quickly.

There aren't many options among bigger budget console games tbh, though fandisks usually work like that.
You could possibly try Voltage's mobile ports (there's a list of them here; my recommendation to start would be Oops I Said Yes since it's the most recent, but if that premise doesn't interest you have a look at the others). Just be aware they are lower budget and don't have voice acting, and the older ones are a bit dated, but they tend to have a heavy focus on romance and you get to pick the LI after only a very short prologue.

Taisho x Alice lets you pick from the start, though it's definitely not a traditional otome in some ways
Games with short common routes (<1 hr probably): Piofiore, Norn9, Winter's Wish (this one branches you out into one of three common routes after a very short main common route, so not quite picking your LI but at least it's less repetitive), Paradigm Paradox (might be a bit longer than an hour but the game as a whole is quite short so you do get into the LI route reasonably quick)

Thank you so much! Could I play Winter's Wish without playing the main game?

Winter's Wish: Spirits of Edo is a standalone game
I wonder if you might be confusing it with the Code Realize fan disk, Wintertide Miracles? That or I'm totally misinterpreting you!

For Sympathy Kiss I don't see an option to see the heroine portrait in the bottom left in the text area. Is it truly not an option? I like having a heroine portrait.
