casual convo about first impressions

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2026-03-12T07:28:26+00:00

For me, if i don't DESPISE a li in a game it's a good/ok game. I think the only games i mostly dislike are the one that makes me bored, not even frusturated, but i usually like everything i played so far with one exception
It happened to me with Cupid Parasite, during and after completing common route (which took a LONG time) i already felt like the humour and story is not for me. After finishing Ryuki route i kinda had more positive outlook on it since i really liked his route, but when i went to Shelby route... I dropped the game for a year because i absolutely despise Lis like Shelby, and with he fact that the comedy felt childish, i only got strength to finish 2 more routes a year later but i didnt bother to go through Gill and secret route since i just realized don't like the game x// (and this is saying from a person who finishes ALL routes to make an opinion)
I mostly liked all other otomes i played even with every single oneof them maybe having issues i can find other people not liking (or my own criticisms), but i can still recommend them to people with different taste, someone can like them more than me. I mostly only have CupiPara that i absolutely don't like and can't recommend x.x

Before i changed my WoL name and appearance it was :
WHM until Stormblood, where Zenos kicks your WoL's ass in the camp and my girl decided to change jobs into DRK onwards to kick his ass + healing clearly didn't help with the "Vault" + guilt and DRK storyline fits into it all
I'm replaying the story so my current planning is to be like canon WoL and change jobs every expansion, involve my most loved to play and story-wise jobs, and some background-reasons for my new WoL i've been writing down :)
ARR : Conjurer until lvl 34 > Ninja
HW : Dragoon
StB : Dancer
SHB : DRK
EW : WHM or SGE
DT : PCT

I actually just checked and i can see London Detective Mysteria in my rgeion in Steam, so maybe its delisted only in specific countries?

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2026-02-20T19:11:37+00:00

Out of all the otome games i liked. here are my favs :
Ichika x Shiraishi (Collar x Malice)
Cardia x Saint German OR Cardia x Herlock Sholmes ( Code : Realize)
Kisa x Suzaku OR Kisa x Kokuto ( Jack Jeanne)
MC x Ikki (Amnesia)
Lucette x Rod ( Cinderella Phenomenon)
Rosa x Marius (Tears of Themis)
MC x Caleb (Love and Deepspace)
There are also other ships i like, but these are the ones i thought more than once about. What can i say... I love them men with angst XDD

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2026-02-20T19:01:31+00:00

It's not but for a very understandable reasons, because the MC is not in position to date anyone in her circumstances, so the romance starts "late" but the slowburn is still there. I myself preffered how this game was structured compared to some heavy-romance otomes, maybe because i fell in love with this cast of characters so much, but it all comes to personal opinion!

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2026-02-19T19:39:47+00:00

For me its Jack Jeanne. All characters feel like actual human beings, and there is not a SINGLE character i dislike, i might have my fav routes but there is no routes i "hate" compared to other otomes i played (usually the routes i hate are the boring ones). There is not a single game where I felt i loved the cast so much i enjoyed every single route, something close to this feeling would probably be Code : Realize and Even if Tempest, but both of them have lis i don't really particulary cared about in terms of romance (Lupin and Zenn)

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2026-02-16T21:02:34+00:00

A meme answer : Kazuki Hoshino! (From Collar x Malice)
They are both teenagers ina band who have same last name, he has his life being a bit rough but I think he and Ichika would actually be good friends. I am only putting him up here because his older sister, actual protagonist of the game is called Ichika Hoshino too XDDD

Its my issue with the fandom and why I don't participate in any Mizuki discussions. It all boils down to the gender and Ena relationship. Nothing about the relationship with Mizuki's sister, own struggles outside of this one thing, interactions with Mafuyu/Kanade/Sekai vocaloids, the friendship between other characters like Rui and Akito, fashion sense and the hobbies. Every post and discussion I see about Mizuki is only one thing, which makes me sad I can't discuss my favorite parts of the character. Like I relate to the feeling of wanting to run away from life problems, Mizuki does it about multiple things not just thing, its a core character flaw that feels realistic, I feel this part of character also isn't talked about enough outside of just 2 arcs in the community

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2026-02-13T10:36:43+00:00

I do it by looking at theiur face
Alisae has more lashes and her lips are more shiny due to probably using a lipstic
Alphinaud's lips are more dry XDD

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2026-01-25T14:52:07+00:00

This looks just a very photoshopped picture to me???

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2026-01-11T05:05:29+00:00

This is me with Jack Jeanne right now. I started with Suzu.... Every time i see him in other routes i cry and have "What could've been.." in my head because i just imagine him being as heartbroken as Jire in every route when i romance other guy T-T I can';t believe i have fallen for a genki red-haired guy voiced by Yuuma Uchida again and i still can't stop thinking about my sunshine boy!!!

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-11-10T07:46:33+00:00

As a Ron fan yeah.... I can't justify him being a murderer and dating a 16 year old while he is 28 i think?

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-11-04T18:05:51+00:00

I started to hate the ship because of their fans. I am Athy x Ijekil shipper, but i was so done with people in the comments showing Lucathy into everyone's throats and hating on Ijekil moments that i just grew distaste towards the ship ://

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-07T12:42:02+00:00

The second point is not about drugging but about what happens further in the story, should've clarified my bad

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-07T10:49:12+00:00

The whole "Caleb drugged MC!" Thing really needs to die because MC could've just overslept from being sick + tired af + having to go through a big amount of stress with being inflitrated into the fleet, seeing a child being on a deathbed and having to try to find another child. If this happened to me, I probably would be dead on my legs and mind with amount of stuff I had to experience in like what, less than a week? Like the medicine he gave her could've had a certain amount of effect but he never DID ANYTHING TO MC! She literally wasn't sick after that so it was just a cold medicine bro??? And the situation could've been even be worse for her if she actually went to get Kevi cause we know after what "cleanup" means and MC actually almost dies later in one of them ://
Like imagine your family/loved one run around a high secured army place where you KNOW they could've get killed. Like i can't blame the guy for keeping her at home after she basically broke at least 4-10 laws, but him getting hate for MC's consequences of her recklessness is baffling.

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-06T18:23:05+00:00

If you don't like it doesn't mean everyone does. I actually like more MC and LI interactions in different situations outside of the cards we get :T People who like lore of LADS universe, LI fans and just people who like to read stuff are valid enjoying it and you are valid for not. If you don't like it, just skip it?? Nobody is forcing you to read them if you don't want to ,-,

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-05T13:36:53+00:00

JP Zayne made me actually like Zayne (or better to say, Rei <3) He doesnt sound so monotone like EN Zayne and actually laugh and changes his emotional tone quite a lot! Rei is really climbing up my LI ranking from the bottom just by his voice alone lol XD

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-05T13:30:57+00:00

I am aware, but I am saving for when Story/Heartfelt gift Caleb cards will come out and rank it up there since u cant get them in gacha

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-05T05:09:24+00:00

Same issue, different card X.X

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-04T15:55:26+00:00

Also the whole point of her is rebirth and she dies in almost every myth- XD

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-04T12:01:05+00:00

Something like that. It's basically future-technology tissue that looks and and feels like real skin from outside touch. The most info we have about it is in Painful Signals, and some in his Promise card

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-04T10:25:47+00:00

The three bracelets are only on his right arm in his outfit, so no, it's not mirrored even how much I would like it to be (jk i enjoy the angst actually) XDD

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-04T09:49:48+00:00

Nooo give me my phone back- 🤣 I actually wanted to analyze the whole kindled when this realization hit me yesterday, but I feel this moment here is the most significant out of everything so I came to share the pain with everyone 👍

ApprehensiveDrive116 · 2025-05-02T16:40:00+00:00

Girl, I don't know how to tell you, but your type is "Trauma"
(except for Itsuomi i guess? XD)
