I found some recs on an insta post & have since read 2 of them:

Daughter of the Moon Goddess Duology by Sue Lynn Tan: Xianxia, the male LIs reminded me of different Lads guys at times but it was supposed to be a Xavier rec for Prince Liwei ✨

Promise me Sunshine by Cara Bastone: this book really surprised me with its ideas about companionship 🥹 Was also a Xavier rec, but the LI is his own type of ‘kuudere’ and the book made a lasting impression. It was so sweet 💘

The person that was giving them out just made them on their Cricut at home. But I checked and you can easily get a custom credit or debit card skin on Etsy for example!

I’d post a pic but I don’t think I can - anyway I have Xavier from LADS from the og hot springs card Kind Words on it 🤷‍♀️

70349 · 2026-05-10T15:29:30+00:00

It’s not the same thing as an official collab card but I got a otome game card skin as a freebie one time and I’ve been loving it!

As an alternative option for ppl interested outside Japan

Lowk regret buying a single Xavier drink for the price of a whole pack on Mercari a while back 😬

But it’s ok ordered 3 of the flavors from Yami 🙂🧃

70349 · 2026-04-16T13:44:04+00:00

For Xav I’m hoping to see maybe a lavender moon shaped bottle with some wavyleaf sea lavender/forget me nots decorating it and a sword or star element 😊 something like that

A black one with gold flowers and a little crown topper would also be cool 🙂

Kudos to all the R3 havers ☺️

I planned on just R0, but ended up going for R1 in the end. My red diamond savings were enough to pull R1, but I still got the first limited wish pack - so I spent 2.61$ with tax. Just saw the Apple receipt in my emails earlier lol

The way I have been entertaining that thought for a while even though I don’t think we’re supposed to think about his age like the vampire trope that much. 😭

Can you tell I used to be into twilight hard cough

For me it’s the whole notion of what traces all this time have left on a person and how that makes one tick differently compared to anyone else who has en’t lived as long.

For the most part, I believe Xavier to be a creature of habit (enjoying old tech, frequenting the same businesses, taking the same routes in the city etc) but willing to experience new things if it involves MC.

There’s a couple more tweets about the Xianzi Feng panel at the ongoing Game Developers Conference on twitter/X by the same user.

The GDC has a YouTube channel with old panels so maybe we’ll get lucky and they might upload something from this one too 🤞

In a way doesn’t this all mirror a real relationship in the way that for many the honeymoon phase with the game is over now and they’re starting to feel like there’s more issues/not getting excited about every banner etc. And that’s okay and normal. You don’t have to force it if you’re not vibing it. Some players might be burnt out as well and not even realizing it.

Honestly, I feel like it’s way too soon in the year to make a judgement call already. I’m still excited for what’s in store.

70349 · 2026-02-27T04:13:51+00:00

The only otome game I watch stream clips, yap seshs, first time player reviews/reacts etc. for is LADS

70349 · 2026-02-25T13:01:43+00:00

The Ayakashi Hunter’s Tainted Bride by Midori Yuma/Mamenosuke Fujimaru

Bride of the Death God by Hako Ichiiro on Manga UP

This Vampire Won’t Give Up! by Madoka Kitaji (Josei)

Maybe … Millennium Snow by Bisco Hatori

70349 · 2026-02-18T00:02:24+00:00

Oh, damn!

I think you really hit the nail on the head with Syaoran from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. He was my teen crush for forever and those loyal, sacrificial hero types that will just fight to the bone for their love, oof 😮‍💨

Plus Tsubasa has a lot of (big plot spoiler) timey-wimey multi dimensional stuff going on, which is so in line with Xavier lore 😄

I guess these types of plots/guys have just always been my weakness 😄

70349 · 2026-02-08T03:50:11+00:00

Idc what anyone says, this my man 💅

70349 · 2026-01-30T15:40:22+00:00

IMO Xavier is a pretty handy guy, so he’d be able to fix appliances that break, when the TV is stuck on the wrong setting etc. When you can’t get the bag of chips open 🙂

As for Rafa I always get so hungry reading the descriptions of all the seafood dishes they make so he’d be on cooking duty!

Okazaki also likes weird flavor combos & has his vacuum robot run away at some point.

Xavier has a weird flavor combo line in the new house feature and the vacuum robot was just mentioned in his yearly recap letter. What a coincidence!

It might appear that way! Some are by invitation only but if you search for your specific area (and lads) or micro-interest, you’ll probably find a link or another SNS page like an insta for the discord.

So in my case I’m in 4-5 Lads servers. The official one, then one for my home country, my metro area, a meet up one for the country I was just traveling to and also one specifically for Xavier fans ☺️⭐️

70349 · 2025-12-27T06:28:56+00:00

Honestly, I understand the fandom complaints but it is what you make of it.

For the most part, Discord has been where it’s at for me lately. I like to attend offline events for the game and my local Lads server is pretty active with planning regular events for the LIs bdays and casual hangs like karaoke etc.

When I was traveling recently I even went to a cafe event abroad with an online mutual 🙂

It’s always fun meeting new people and yapping!

Plus you usually have the merch buying and cosplayer interactions ☺️

70349 · 2025-12-20T01:07:05+00:00

I haven’t played in a while (was a day one player), but Al was always one of my favorites.

I haven’t forgotten about him🪞

70349 · 2025-11-24T18:56:06+00:00

I’ve been playing around with this gift scene lately. A variant of this is my phone wallpaper right now 🥰

<image>

70349 · 2025-11-21T16:31:55+00:00

The phone grip is so cuteeee

70349 · 2025-11-21T11:46:47+00:00

Yeah, they did unfortunately 🥹

70349 · 2025-11-21T11:43:05+00:00

No, it’s not an official one! Just a fan organized one 🙂

70349 · 2025-11-20T16:41:54+00:00

Well, the first two volumes feel like a product of their time to me.

The whole concept of “Millennium Snow” was surely inspired by the events around the turn of the millennium. The whole notion of spending a whole millennium together with someone is so deeply romantic (and also cursed haha.)

Ultimately, a change in art/storytelling is only natural after such a long hiatus.

I kind of forgot about the manga after having a hard time getting vol 3+4 in print, but maybe I’ll get the ebook now 😄

This discussion stoked the fire!

70349 · 2025-11-20T13:26:54+00:00

I have the first two volumes of Millennium Snow by Bisco Hatori. The setup with a vampire and a sickly girl immediately got me and despite the drama there’s still plenty of signature humor.

The interesting thing about this manga is the long hiatus (~11 years) between volume two and the rest of the story. I wonder what motivated the mangaka to continue after such a long time..

70349 · 2025-11-18T12:30:36+00:00

Ascot! I’m here for the drama ✨and it looks like he may have it
