I CAN’T BELIEVE I FINISHED FIVE ROUTES ON THE SAME DAY. i really need to stagger these out, jeez
1) Shingen’s Fates End (KoiRan)
This is the CUTEST. THE SWEETEST. THE FLUFF. Yukimura being an overenthusiastic dweeb and Saizo slamming the brakes on him. MC yelling at Shingen to TALK ABOUT HIS FEELINGS while having labor pains. Ridiculous but also hilarious. Love it. Debating between Mitsunari or Mitsuhide’s act 2 next.
2) Asuma Takumi Cinderella End (GakeKoi)
…I don’t know anyone else who plays this game. I’m usually not a big fan of oresama characters, but I loved that we got a lot of insight about his thoughts, so it was pretty interesting. Also he’s a total smut lord, so if you’re into that, yeah. I think they had sex literally at least once every chapter after they got together. Definitely the thirstiest love interest I’ve ever seen. Thirstier than Shingen. I appreciated that they didn’t pull the whole ‘I’m going to break up with you for your own good’ nonsense after getting together. I think he’ll be popular if Okko decides to translate this game. Playing Shougo next.
3) Taisuke Nadauchi Fulfilling End
He’s not my type but he’s very supportive and sweet. Bonus that Nagisa and Noboru (the NPCs on his route) are super cute. I love them. But I got a little frustrated with both Taisuke and MC and wanted to yell at them to SIT DOWN AND TALK TO EACH OTHER GODDAMMIT. Oh, I’m really not fond of The Other Man/Woman trope, which came up a lot in this route, so maybe that’s why it wasn’t really my thing. I’ve actually done all the routes available at least once, so I’m thinking maybe I’ll replay Aito/Takeomi or take a break for a while.
4) Celis Valentine Pure Love End
…………………I hated this route. What a waste of a pretty character design D: If I were MC I would DEFINITELY have ditched him for literally any other male character. His events are so much better than his main route. I played Taiga before this and disliked that too. I’m doing Ayato next. How long more will I put up with this game for my problematic fave Soichiro?
5) Jumin’s Good End
I love Jumin Han and I will defend him forever. I am so bitter about how awful Zen/Jaehee/Yoosung are to him. Jumin is nothing but supportive in other routes (I mean, except Jaehee, because... he’s the ‘antagonist’ there, after all...)
