Old Sweet, New Decorations! +Mystic Messenger V's Route

Hello! Welcome back to another post! With this post I'll be basically talking about "Mystic Messenger"s V route. Though no need to worry I'll try to make it as spoiler free as I can. (Hint I said try so, still read with caution.) V's route came out on September 8th for Android users, but September 12th for IOS users. I'm currently on the 5th day of V's route. Now since I want this to be as spoiler free as possible, I'll just say how I've been feeling about it so far. Though I do want to point out that there actually tends to be a lot more visual novel modes, so far. (That I could tell and remember.) I will admit that I already feel like crying. Not only that but there tended to be a lot of things going down on the 4th day's night. (Though it's the 4th day so you kinda have to expect it, since it's the split off and such.) 

I have thoroughly been enjoying it though so far. I'll probably enjoy it as I keep playing. Though a part of me kinda wanted to have Unknown's route first. Though it makes since for V's to be first if you think about it. (Though it doesn't make it any less harder to reject Unknown...) I actually think that Unknown's route will also take place in the 'Another Story' section. Because of a few things actually. One - In 'Another Story' section you can get hearts with Unknown. Two - You don't start off in V's route right away, you have to wait til the 4th day like always. Though it also couldn't really mean anything sense that's like the prologue or such anyways, so this one could be completely wrong and such. But due to number one I'm guessing that's why and such. Not only that but it seems perfect for them to do that as such for people who've played it and such. Also since it's titled 'Another Story'.

I'm curious though on how Unknown's route will be though, especially if it is in 'Another Story'. (In the end though I still can't help but to love Unknown, no matter what he does. He is one of the most precious characters ever and I hate to see him hurt or in pain. Though sadly I have to harden my heart for him. But my heart always refuses...) Anyways! I think this shall be all for this post! Please if you have anything you want to talk about or add onto this V, "Mystic Messenger", Unknown Rant, then please comment down below! Or else talk to you guys later!

(Note: 'Another Story'/V's route -at the moment of that section- does require 300 Hourglasses to be unlocked!)

New Decorations! +Mystic Messenger V Route +Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome

Hello! Welcome back to another post! The first thing I'm going to talk about in this blog, is that V's route in "Mystic Messenger" came out Friday! Now it's not yet released for IOS users, but it should be any day for us now. V's route costs 300 hourglasses to play. I know that it seems like a lot, but it's probably worth it. Cheritz is actually doing a twitter event to celebrate V's release! It's about how would you pose if V is going to take a picture of you. It's from September 9th to the 17th with the winner(s) being announced the 18th. You can draw or take a photo of the pose you would do and it has to have the hashtag #MM_modeling_event. There will be 10 winners and they will be receiving an emoji cushion and a VA's autograph. (The set will be sent randomly.)

The other thing I'm going to talk about in this blog, is the game "Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome". It came out this week and on Steam it has 100% positive feedback. Now you can order this from MangaGamer if you want the R18+ version, or you can order it off of Steam for the all ages version. Though MangaGamer does have a patch of the R18+ version if you do buy it off of Steam and want the original full of it. (You have to have a MangaGamer account and get it off of their website. The patch is free also.) Though from what I've read about it is that it is extremely hilarious and that the comedy in it is really amazing and such. (Considering that it's hard to put comedy intentionally into an otome game.)

I think I'll end this post here. This is actually one of my more organized posts in a long time I feel like. Though if there is anything you want to add on, say, or talk about then as always! Comment down below! Also tell me how you feel about V's route and "Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome"! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Be Outside Today! +Bad Apple Wars +Signed and Sealed With a Kiss

Hello! Welcome back to another post! The first thing I'm going to talk about is "Bad Apple Wars". This game is now planning on being released October 13th. Also that the limited edition is a GameStop exclusive. I'll put the summary down here then move onto something, since I already talked about this in another post. Summary/Plot (With the source being down below like always!):

"The heroine, who was caught in an accident on the first day that she was to enter high school, suddenly found herself on the premises of an unknown school. This was NEVAEH Academy, a school for those whose souls were left behind after death.

In this school if you were a good student who followed the rules then, upon GRADUATION, you would be able to return and RESUME YOUR LIFE.”
(END)

The other thing I'm planning on talking about is a Visual Novel/Otome game called "Signed and Sealed With a Kiss". The maker of this game said it's like the manga (or tv series) known as "Absolute Boyfriend". Though before I say more, here is the summary. (With link down below.)

You get an unexpected package delivery one day. When you open it, there’s a man inside - but luckily, he comes with instructions! You have your own impressionable boyfriend. It’s your duty to shape him into a proper person… since he’s actually a “doll” with no past exposure to people.

However, this delivery wasn’t meant for you. Will you fall in love with the person he turns out to be? Will you be able to keep him by your side?
(END)

Lucky for me I actually read the "Absolute Boyfriend" manga during summer. So I kinda already have a feel for this and am quite hyped for this. Also the link I'm linking down below for the summary is actually their indiegogo website also! So if you want then donate! They reached their goal, but there is a lot of extra features that could be added into the game if they get the money for it! Honestly speaking though I'm low-key trash for these type of games though. I just love all of the different possibilities and how they end up being and such. I'm also going to mention real quick that this game is 17+ so... Just as a warning!

I think I'll end this post here! Message me which personality/person you like best for "Signed and Sealed With a Kiss"! (I can't really choose. I love them all!) Also if you have something you want to add on or comment about then just you know.. Comment! Or else talk to you guys later!

Let's Talk Designs! +Otome Game Translations

Hello! Welcome back to another post! With this post I'll be talking about English translated otome games. Though it's not necessarily what you think. (Unless you do know, then congrats to you.) The thing that actually made me want to talk about this was because of two things. The first thing being that the new R18 otome game came out on Steam this week called "Les Fleursword", which is only $1.99. But I've read reviews on it and saw how people felt about the poor English translation of it, since it is originally a Chinese otome. The second reason was because I found a poll about this on twitter. It asked how people felt about an otome game if it was like that. So that is why I decided to make a post about it! Though besides those two reasons onto why. Then I'll also say that it's not uncommon to see these things in the otome fandom, that fans talk about. But let's get started! 

I honestly actually don't really see a lot of people who don't really care about poor translation or anything of the sort. I guess the people who just tend to not like it seem more vocal. Though I do like to say there are two ways to make/have a poor translation. The first way I'd like to point out is probably the most common one, or I guess the one you end up reading/seeing the most of. The one is just words not being in the right order or typos or grammar or just things like that. I don't think I really need to go into a lot of detail on this one, but this is the one people probably see and talk about a lot. The other one I'm going to talk about is something I feel you can only see/read about if you are in that or a certain fandom. Though who knows. Even if you aren't you could see it probably.

This next one doesn't have anything to really do with grammar or anything like that. But it's more like how the company is translating it. By this I mean them translating a person (or people) wrongly. This mostly happens mangas and/or light novels that get an English translation. I haven't really seen this one when it comes to games, though please do tell me if there are some games like this. What I mean though by this is that the Japanese manga/light novel could have the character(s) like how they always are (or super close to it (but of course somethings like this are an exception)), but when a translation company gets the licences to translate it then they translate that character wrongly. They do that since sometimes they think that is better to address them like that to the western, so we understand it better. (Or along those lines.) I don't really understand how doing that is better or anything though. That is technically called censoring, and miss use of the rights given to you.

It is also disrespect to the original person of it. Also to completely throw of a character on what the fandom is used to or know of is also bad. It's also bad for the new fans who might read those first, if the game is in Japanese and they don't know Japanese, or that language. So they will be introduced to that character differently and wrongly. Not only that but if there are different people working on their own story for that game (so they all have the same origin but different projects to write about) then it would make sense for certain characters to not always be connected to the other stories. But they would still make that same character or characters at the same in those other ones, so we can be 'reminded'/'familiar' with them. Honestly when it comes to poor translating this is the only one I care about. I don't even care about the first one. This is the one I care most about, since it enrages me so. I also meant to do a post about this one in particular, so I might make a full post just about this, but...

We'll see! But I'll end this post for now. I feel like I could still talk about it a lot, so I might make a part two. Though please comment down your opinions down below! Or else talk to you guys later!

Let's Talk Ice Cream Flavors! +Otome Stereotypes

Hello! Welcome back to another post! Now I know people talk about this all the type but... For this post I'll be talking about stereotypes. Now at first I felt like I should tell you the stereotype and describe it, but I have a feeling that it's no use and that it's rather something people just know. Especially with how much this topic has been talked about in the fandom. I might give a brief description though. Also I'll be giving how I feel about them, though I'm not picky and love all, so... I'm also going to mention that I'm not going to do all of them in this post (since that would obviously take a long time and such), so I'll only do 4 for this post. (I'll also mention that I'm not going to talk about Yandere's since I just talked about them recently.) So I might make more posts about this at a later time for other types.

Anyways! First type is the Gentleman type. Honestly speaking about this one, then I tend to normally do these guys towards the last of the routes. They aren't my last and I always tend to love and enjoy their routes, but I still normally don't do them as one of my first. (Though sometimes I do tend to pick them as one of my firsts.) This type tends to be really gentle and classy with the MC. (Other things also obviously,) I think most people know about this type so there is no need to talk about it any further.

The next type is the Playboy type. This one is also known as the Womanizer, Flirt, etc. I honestly find no use in explaining this type due to it being so obvious. So I'll go straight into how I feel/think of this type. When I first started playing otome games (and even still now some/most of the time) I used to always pick them as my first route. So I tend to like these types, even if people tend to not really like them in the fandom for the most part.

The next type is the Kuudere type. Kuudere's tend to be cold and distant, but warm up to you once they know/trust you better. (For the most part.) Honestly these types tend to be wherever in my order. Since sometimes I like them and sometimes I don't. I think it just all depends on how they writer/maker of the otome game portrays them. Of course there could be other factors also, but for the most part I tend to enjoy them. I enjoy the progression of the relationship in their routes.

The final stereotype for this post is Tsundere's. (I find it hard to believe that anyone would not know what this one is but just in case.) This type is when the character actually likes you (and/or already has fallen in love/has a crush on you) but shows it by being mean and harsh to you. (Again. For the most part. But they do warm up to you and eventuality confess their love to you.) I want to keep this one quick since I feel I'll get a lot of hate for this... But.. This one is probably my least favorite stereotype. I do still play their routes, but since I knew female tsundere's first and found them annoying I tended to feel that why towards the males. AT FIRST. Though now I'm pretty okay with them. To me it's just something on how the writer decided to portray it. Like there are actually A LOT of tsundere's I like now, just due to how the writer made/portrayed it in that character.

So I'm fine with them now. But at first it just bothered me and I tended to like a character a little less because of it, before I played their route. Though I have a decently liking towards them now. But in the end of all this I tend to equally play all their routes now. Like now I'm to really set-based on any type or anything. Now I just do which ever one I tend to feel attracted to most. But I think I'll end this post here. If you want to name down your favorite stereotype down below and explain why, then I would love to hear it! Or else talk to you guys later!

Time To Restock Our Sweets! +Upcoming Otome Games

Hello! Welcome back to another post! With this post I'll be talking about three upcoming games. Two out of the three I already talked about in other posts, while with the other one I haven't. The first one I'm going to talk about is "Bad Apple Wars" for the PS Vita. For people who know then you know that it is the next localized game! Since I already talked about this game in another post I won't post the story in this post. This game is going to come out September 29th, of this year. There will also be a normal version and a limited edition version. There aren't any pre-orders yet for this game and know one knows what is going to be in the limited edition yet.

The next game I'll be talking about is "Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome". Now again I already talked about this one on other posts so I won't be posting the story for it. This game is going to be released o September 8th, of this year. According to it's Steam page that it finally has. I'll be linking the Steam page down below like always. The Steam version is for all ages, while if you order it off of manga gamer then you will end up getting the +18 version.  The last game I'm going to talk about is a new otome game by Abracadabra inc. It's called "Sealed with a Kiss ~Bride of an Asmodian~", this game is going to come out August 31st of this month. Here is the story/summary (With of course the link down below):

"Become a Bride, if you don't want the world to be destroyed..."

What does your destiny have in store for you?
(END)

Let's Put The Sweets Out! +Otome Endings Part. 2 +Happy Birthday To Tokiya!

Hello! Welcome back to another post! With this post I'll be continuing off of my last post about otome endings. I basically only talked about bad endings last post so lets talk about some neutral and good ones! I'll first start off with the neutral/normal endings. I will mention beforehand though that depending on what person you are (also on the otome game) depends on if you like the normal ending or happy ending better. Though now back to normal endings. A normal ending is in between bad and good endings. Hence why I say neutral ending. A normal ending could also make you end up with the guy on whom you choose or not. When I say not I don't mean it like you will end up with another guy (Though in some otome games that could be the case but I think these are more bad ends than normal, which is why I said this could not be a possibility. Also since you want to end up with the guy you chose.) or it will be like a bad end.

But it will be more like, you end up just living your regular normal day life and routine with out him. Of course you will think about him, but it could just end up with him not being with you and it would kinda be like just a regular day for the MC. Of course I'm just saying a few things about all these endings, since in the end it mostly matters on the makers/writers of these otome games and what they are. So try not to define these endings just by the things I say here. Though now we will move onto happy endings! Honestly speaking though, I probably won't talk about this one as much. Since it seems pretty obvious to begin with. Also I'm going to say that each ending could also be titled/called differently depending on the otome game also.

Basically (and simply) for happy endings though, it's just you ending up with the guy you chose and having a happy ever after. So, that is basically it. Though I did put that last ending in simpler terms, though that is technically true. But before I end this post I do want to say, that today is Tokiya Ichinose's birthday! He is a character from "Uta no Prince Sama" for the people who don't know. So Happy Birthday to Tokiya~! Though I think I'll have to end this post here. If you want to add on then comment down below! Or else talk to you guys later!
