my thoughts on temirana the lucky princess and the tragic knights

the otome piracy community has become so unhinged when i wasn't looking that it's literally convinced me to buy the games myself. i already pre-ordered three of them. they're trying to run what is basically a patreon and making pirated games their content? what is even happening

my thoughts on 7'scarlet. i read this on psvita way back when, but only remember a few things about it, so it'll be a mostly fresh experience! i'm interested to see if i'll still like the characters i liked back then

my thoughts on neon clash echoes of the lost

2025 otome VN wrap-up

updated otome visual novel tier list to wrap up the year!

crazy that i’ve seen the promo art before but i didn’t clock it as the second reproduction because everyone looks so different 😭 i’m still excited tho! i read this ages ago and really liked it

my thoughts on birushana rising flower of genpei, as i finally get back to it after three years

my thoughts on mistonia's hope the lost delight

the very first LI i love vs the most latest LI i love

the girls!!! 🌸❤️🌸

you described a fandom that’s literally what a fandom is. jesus christ

my thoughts on illusion of itehari

my thoughts on the red bell's lament

been a while since i last posted! i haven't read any VNs lately, and then my switch bricked and i only recently got a new one, so here we are. i picked up red bell's lament and will hopefully stick with it, but chances are slim

my thoughts on battlefield waltz

now my for you page is filled with babies whining about uchronia not being called uchronia in english omfg who CARES. don't play the english version then???

yeah it’s almost as if english and japanese are two completely different languages. like what the fuck was even the point of the first sentence, can’t you just be excited like a normal person without throwing shade for no reason?

my thoughts on despera drops

i have despera drops ready to go, but it'll be a while before i can get to it because i'm once again busy with ten other things (': it'll be nice to have another otome VN to read again

i had to read this twice to figure out it wasn’t satire

i wish i was shit taste weeb enough to enjoy jack jeanne, because kai is really cute

updated otome visual novel tier list. most of the ones i want to read this year won't be released for a while, so i figured it'd be fine to refresh this before then

a poisonous girl and a thief #coderealize #otome #art

it's been 10 years since the first code realize VN was released, and i've yet to meet another otome VN protagonist who is better than cardia beckford

2024 otome VN wrap-up this was the year i started reading more VNs and also started using this account to ramble about them. i still have quite the backlog and some VNs i'd like to re-read, so here's hoping i'll find the time in 2025 (:

my thoughts on virche evermore epic lycoris

finished my virche re-read, i can finally get started on epic lycoris either later tonight or tomorrow. i have no idea what to expect, like if it's a continuation of the first VN or alternate scenarios, so i'm very interested to see what's in-store. just let ankou be happy 💔

i reread my thread on virche evermore and i was so damn salty lol. my opinion gradually improved toward the end even though i still didn't enjoy most of it. ankou's story must have affected me so much for me to put virche in A tier despite all its sci-fi nonsense

also i fucking blind was i? they're identical, down to the way they smile. i remember being so hung up on 'but HOW can they be the same' that i couldn't convince myself they actually were. time travel was so ludicrous an idea that i physically couldn't even consider it lol

the fact that this CG is for a scene in a dark dingy alley with somber music and not an ounce of mystical allure to justify how otherworldly ankou looks here, is actually illegal. i even remember thinking 'this CG goes a little too hard' back when i first read virche evermore

sometimes i have to remind myself i put virche evermore in A tier solely because of le salut lol

i'm re-reading virche evermore, and it's always interesting to go back to the beginning of a mystery story and see the foreshadowing and all the characters in a new light

"he's such a piece of shit ☺️" vs "he's such a piece of shit 😒"

otome characters this or that gaaammeeeee thread

masterlist of my reviews/livetweets because my timeline is broken 🎉

i can’t believe how basic and mainstream hanamura mai’s art has become

my thoughts on 9 r.i.p. i'm purposely going into this one knowing nothing about it other than its occult theme and yuuya doing the character designs. haven't even taken a good look at those designs because i want to see them in-game. really really hoping this one is good!

so uh, i genuinely forgot i had an account here and hadn't been reposting from my twitter in a while. but i randomly got 3 follower notifications today and remembered this place exists, so i will start using it now. i started 9 r.i.p today!

my thoughts on hakuoki chronicles of wind and blossom. and if anyone's still complaining about another hakuoki port or how it's being milked into eternity, y'all can suck my whole ass and shut the fuck up (:

anyway spicyness aside, i took a break from otome since i was waiting for hakuoki. tried (re)reading even if tempest in the meantime, but couldn't focus so figured i should work on other things

i hate this shit. you're uploading to a piracy community specifically so other people can pirate the VN. you are actively contributing to it. don't act high and mighty and expect everyone to ~support~ the series by purchasing it. bitch is literally using a hacked switch

new otome game tier list that has an E tier this time because i forgot to add one to the last list oops

if hakuoki was released today, 90% of the otome community wouldn't make it past the first chapter with the amount of reading involved

my thoughts on radiant tale. i tried this when it was first released, but ended up stopping after the common route since i felt it wasn't for me. but i wanna give it another choice, so here we go

my two favorite characters in piofiore being the oldest and the youngest is very silly and also makes perfect sense to me

i've been thinking about which otome to read next. i want to try something new rather than re-read, so i'm considering trying radiant tale again. birushana maybe, but then i think about how no other route will compare to how perfect noritsune's is and lose motivation lol

it'd be neat to find a nice, normal otome fan i can have chill discussions with here. but putting aside how twitter is already a garbage hellhole, the level of entitlement and infantilism toward the recent localization news proves to me that maybe i'm okay on my own after all
