Fatal Attraction
My feelings about Chevalier after playing Clavis' romantic route:
Me: Why do people love this guy? What am I missing? I guess I should read his route. It'll definitely portray him in a more sympathetic light since it's about him, so maybe I'll like him more.
Me after reading 15 or so parts of Chev's route: I think things got worse ...
It's not the carnage nor the coldness. I just can't stand it when people who are too intelligent for their own good will say what they mean in the worst possible way all the time because there's no WAY anyone who isn't an idiot could interpret it in a different manner, and the misinterpretation is obviously that other person's fault. (And usually, he - it's almost always a he - can't be assed to change or try harder, whether that's due to "efficiency" or because you should've been able to understand in the first place and therefore you are in the wrong.)
THIS IS BASICALLY CHEVALIER'S DEFAULT MODE.
But this is otome. So he's gotta be a little better than that by the end, right? ... right?
I haven't picked Romantic or Dramatic yet. I'm also dealing with a huge love/hate thing with his MC right now, so I just don't know which fork in the road to go with. I basically can't even with her angst mode anymore, so I dread her angsting even harder in one route or the other.
