Love’s Hella Punk mini review

I have been waiting to see the format of this game since voltage announced it’s not LOve Choice and read that the Japanese version is different to usual voltage games. Here’s my thoughts after playing it...

There are 7 short episodes for full price and Tengoku seems like the only main character available for now. Currently the story is 100 coins off for a limited time. The chapters are much shorter than usual so it’s very expensive for a full price story which is only 7 episodes with no CG's and not complete. It seems like the story will be released in parts.

Nevertheless, the story was refreshing and the character and story pace was quite spunky and fun to read. Tengoku’s expressions are funny. He’s head over heels for MC as he tries to chase after MC to “marry with the intention to get married” (not sure if they meant date with the intention to get married) we don’t get to see all the characters in this story, looking forward to the introvert character 😄

Taki Kozaki ~ Season 3

Kings of Paradise 💎

Platform : iOS/ Android

The character development is really good as Taki finally is conscious about his emotions he buried over the hellish 10 years he had and a sudden revelation about his father brings out his raw emotions with a little nudge from MC. Chapter 9 was heart wrenching but great to see Taki slowly opening up and letting out those unresolved emotions to overcome it.

All the characters from Kings of Paradise have a sad past they had to overcome. Although the painful past is in a different form to the MC’s divorce they both help each other overcome their pain and trauma leading to great character development and building on their bond.

Rating: 7/10

Shigure's wise advice to Kyo on interacting with people and emotions ✨

Although I prefer the original anime art style I'm looking forward to the plot development as this remake was produced after the manga has been completed so hopefully a wholesome wrap up 😊

I watched the original anime about 8 years ago and just started watching this remake, the quality is good and can't wait to see Hatsuharu appear 😍

Gavin looks good in black 😊 this is around chapter 22 I think. The anime adaptation of the game came out recently this month on Crunchyroll, you get to see more of Gavin in episode 2.... There's a lot of action in this chapter and MC is finally being more courageous.

Eiichi Matsunaga

Romance MD: Always on call

His story was interesting and he’s probs the first bi character I know as the main LI within a voltage love 365 collection. A very considerate and observant guy who puts others before him self and is a gentleman. He even takes her to a Saeki exhibition. The Metro PD guys make a cameo too. His Pomeranian is soo cute 🥰

[shimmerinshiki]

Tsukumo Kobayakawa

He’s a precious, enigmatic guy with a bittersweet story which will make you eager to know his story he’s kept locked away within himself, yet you will see his cold emotional barrier melt with warmth as the plot unravels.

I would deffo recommend his route and Rose in the Embers overall is a very well written story concept from the thoughtful and chirpy dialogue to the fitting BGM and characters with a lot of depth (also I’m a sucker for historical romance).

Maybe: interactive Stories

Company: Cinnamon Games

Platform: Android/iOS

So I found this new app which is hybrid of a visual novel and webtoon to give you a visual picture of what to expect. The art style is very good, however the gems needed to progress in the story is very expensive which is one of the down side to this game. You can also earn 5 gems a day by watching ads. The gems are.used to buy outfits to increase the charm of MC/LI. Story tickets are used to play a chapter and it gets refilled every few hours (slow burn game waiting for tickets unless you spend money on tickets)

Very good concept and variety of choices, ATM I am playing Royal Blood. Abit on the expensive side but would definitely recommend to try out this style of Otome game for the visuals.

A3! Summer & Spring anime EP 9

{Tenma's growth as a leader}

I love this series and played the game too. The colour palette is very vibrant and cute in the game and OP/ED songs. I really like this scene where Izumi gives him advice on being the troupe leader and you see his character growth after within the episode.

Obey Me: One master to rule them All

(NTT Solmare) Otome Mini Review

🎮 - Gameplay 4/5

The game format is abit different compared to other Otome games produced by NTT Solmare. The format of the game play is slightly similar (Mr Love) by Paper games. Players need to pass little trails in the form of dance stages with character cards they earned. Cards range from Ultra Rare (UR) down to Regular (R). By passing the trails players can unlock chapters to continue the story line. Compared to other NNT Solmare games, you do not need to spend alot of money to unlock stories but time is required to pass stages to unlock stages which is not too much effort and I had the V.I.P pass which allows you to get bonus points and extras so I managed to finish the whole game in a week. 

🗝 - Story 4/5

In terms of LI the story does not separate into a individual route like the other Otome game, rather as the story progresses you get a chance to interact with each of the demon brother, understand their past and help them in certain situations to build a bond with all of them. The story line is well written as you get to understand and know each brother as well as getting a glimpse into the past as the story unfolds. Mammon is so funny and the interactions and bonds the brothers have is endearing. e.g. the twins. my fav is Beezlebub :) It would have been nice if each character had their own in-depth route as a spin-off, but still a great gaming system compared to other gaming system which requires money or time by building points for premium options to have a good story experience. 

Art Design 4.5/5

The art design and lighting presented in the background landscape looks great, from the interior room design to the character design on SSR cards and uniform. it would have been a 5 if they included CG within the story to enhance the gaming experience IMO. I especially like the twins and Asmodeus’ rooms as it really represents them. The colour scheme is cute and colourful with a dark theme of purple which conveys the demon world. 

I enjoyed the characters and the gameplay as it is not too much effort and achievable to unlock the whole story without breaking your bank account. I would really recommend this game to otome gamers who want to try something a bit different. The story line was well executed and the character depth for each of the brothers was shown with the story, overall a great game :)

Hey it’s been awhile. Finished playing Hotaru’s route. He’s such a cute endearing character with an isolated childhood which makes him naive to the world, yet he is intrigued by his surroundings and shows affection and passionately protects the people he grows to love for their warmth and acceptance of him; despite his background and strength.

The banter and bond between kenshin’s followers are a great bonus to the story especially Hotaru’s interaction with them.

You’ll see a lot of personal development and character growth both from Hotaru and the MC in this story so I would recommend it.

Plot: 4/5 Character development: 5/5
