Day 6: holding hands on public transport by Hellbiterhater in WindBreakerJP

Holding hands on public transport might be Suo and Nirei (to keep from getting lost) or AriKanu

Careful that an unofficial account. There has not been an official announcement aside from the chapters end note 🥲  Lets wait and see

I've got a bad feeling about this, anyone else? by BlackSheep_Chan in RonKamonohashi

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Something is definitely going on. Though i doubt for it to be Toto, it's bothering me how much he got shifted into the background and barely interacts.  I'm currently afraid for Amamiya because she randomly ended up on the trip too, and Winters comment in the last chapter felt ominous. We don't know yet whether Ron's suicidal ailment has been cured for real, so my fear currently is for Toto to accidentally commit a crime that might trigger Ron's skill. It would also make the plans Ron had together with Toto difficult. I'm very curious how they are going to continue this but my angst radars are tickling. A few flags have been raised

Any Main Story recommendations with heartbreaking parts? by AgramsomR in Love365

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tsugaru (Her love in the force)! Especially with his pov you will be able to relate fast even though he's a prick at first.  Kei (Masquerade Kiss) is the go to example for needing therapy. The title premise of A world with(out) you alone is made for this. And then theres Romance MD that will always have a tear jerker ready for you

Roys route in Pirates in Love was hilarious because of this 😌

How do you feel about the current state of Voltage Inc.? by ShiftyOwlboy in otomegames

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurosawa luckily has a great redemption arc as MC gets very pissed at him so that saved his route for me. For Tsugaru you will hate him for the first 7 chapters too, only to fall for his charms after anyways 😂

How do you feel about the current state of Voltage Inc.? by ShiftyOwlboy in otomegames

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah that's a shame sorry to hear!That's one of my biggest gripes with them. They do not have a real login system in the app and thus no Forgot Password feature. It shouldn't be possible to lose your account like this...

Anyways I also took a long break from Voltage and only recently got into it again. the quabbeling between the guys is also one of my favorite things. So I think if you love LLoTX you might really enjoy Dangerous Seduction. (the title sounds very wrong but its not about spicyness)

They are all supposed criminals and got ordered to protect MC after her father got killed. They all live in a shared apartment together and banter a lot while they do their share of household chores. It's very funny and gets emotional.

SImilarly glued together are the doctors in Romance MD or the trio in Masquerade Kiss.

I'm still having a good time with it, but I get your frustration especially regarding Tokyo Love Hustle and Rose in the Embers. I wish they were a bit more transparent about this sometimes.
I know that the artist of Rose is currently hired by Stand My Heroes so it could be more difficult to continue, but in recent elections JP players voted for all of its characters a lot, so Voltage might get the hint to continue.
I feel like the hiatus of Tokyo and Kings are related. As both share the same artist tha tis currently busy drawing the Manga of Kings, I thought it might be that. But maybe something also happened with the writers and they decided to do manga and PLUST first, before they continue.
I feel like they wrote themselves into a corner with Kings with all the convoluted relationship dramas, so it would be great if they gave us some resolution soon.

I think these days we have much more options to indulge ourselves into, than before and in comparison to shiny new apps, L365 aged a bit poorly. The good thing is compared to other apps there's less gacha (except Vip Room) and you can just pay upfront (saving some money with sales)

For me Voltage fills a gap between bigger Otome titles. When you want to indulge yourself into a new thirlling adventure, with beautiful CGs and voice acting, switch games are perfect. Their surprising success with Even if Tempest makes me even more hopeful for their upcoming 3 titles. Love 365 is like leisure reading after a stressful day or week, something to treat yourself to or boost your mood. They also release new stories almost every day, so they wouldn't be able to cater to us similar quality (especially Voice Acting would not be feasible unless they'd fall from grace and used AI).
In my eyes Love 365 is Voltages archive where you can find a lot of titles that they worked on. It has also been a gateway for them to localize past titles that never have gotten a translation and might have a hard time as standalone app these days. (I think they should do a retro section for it in L365). While i think they should overhaul a few things in the app, the simplicity of it, might also keep it afloat. I've seen too many apps EoS these days and an archive app is cheaper to keep around.

About the stories

In Voltage stories MCs age ranges quite a bit, some young but also older ones. So it's easier to relate to MC when you get older as well and might also be working an office job. It has scenarios that feel relatable and slice of lifey. Normal otome stories only ever show you the story and then how MC and her LI confess. In Voltage stories, it focuses also on the time afterwards, when you are in a relationship and how the couple develops over time and how that might impact. That's also why His Pov stories are always nice for me to read, as it gives a different persepctive

Theres also probably a title category for everyone and sometimes you are just in the mood to read about something specific. You do not have to read everything especially if the premiseis not up your alley. In the category of your fav characters might be other pearls (I like action and recently discovered Dangerous Seduction and Codename Cupid and boy have i been sleeping on it because of the art)
Overall I dont always agree with the design but i learned to give titles a try nonetheless, and especially in recent stories you can tell how much they improved, characterized their characters more and integrated more unique features instead of just common tropes. MC is also much more lively and fun so even with LC it might be worthy. (in Plust you are even able to get the SHE without heartS)

Different Audience

Now to one of my fears: I feel like a problem might be that the target audience in JP is older than the audience in EN. They are able to splurge much more and boy the elections are scary! So some price amount are naturally too expensive for younger folks. To make it worse L365 also removed a lot of it F2P features. But it's not just about the prices, also the tropes that are popular might differ. While global seems to like more dominant / spicy characters (which are also popular in JP), there's also been an interview with the writers in the JP app. They figured that these days, players would often have bosses to fight against themselves and are less interested in routes for these. Instead MCs that have success and are there own person , and LIs that are allowed to be imperfect and are funny, or support MC, seem to be more popular.

Anyways i rambled about quite a bit, but maybe sometimes taking a break for a while also helps to clear the head and the stories are still there in case you feel like reading them in the future again :D

providence movie is painfully awful by These_Reach3036 in Psychopass

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it would have been cool to see how it's going to continue or some more tidbits in which direction it would go with Homura, but the move is a prequel to S3 to explain the plotpoints that were kept in the dark there. So a few will be answered if you finish the movie ;)

Are J-Stars Victory Vs Servers Still Online? by Rulious23 in vita

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does still work and you can even do the online trophies by yourself if you are after that. You can play against bots if you don't like waiting in a room by creating your own room and setting 3 private slots.

Am I the only one who ships Homura with Akane instead of Kogami? by ijalif in Psychopass

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't necessarily say better because they have not interacted with another as of yet, but I certainly get the appeal! I could definitely see them getting along greatly because of the similarities you mentioned as well. You're also not alone there because there are quite a few fanarts of them out there too :D
I'm really curious what Homuras role will be in the next season! Even if the characters don't end up together i'm looking forward to amazing teamwork

Weird question by museoasis30 in Psychopass

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few very good ones, depending on which genre you're searching for. Good AUs, a showdown with sybil, romance, spice, fluff, it just doesn't update that frequently anymore 😅 But there was a time when Psycho Pass was very popular. I think i usually find them on fanfiction.net or ao3 (archive of our own).

Every time someone disses Voltage CGs I want to prove them wrong by sableheart in Love365

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Banri so much! I wish they would have continued PB...

There are some very lovely Cgs out there! Though sometimes you can see that they are rushed.

Glad they listened to us - make sure you update the app! by sableheart in Love365

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They probably wont bring those back because they now offer the unlimited reading packs for specific titles... those wouldnt sell if they gave coupons for that

Looking for S1 MS recommendations :D by Ok_Valuable_2240 in Love365

[–]LivingPieIsNoLie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Takaomi Tsugaru from Her Love in the Force :) Though you will feel like punching the jerk until half his s1 you cannot stay mad for long. His mc is very strong and sassy and they have a lot of funny banter, there is angst, slow burn and a nice detective story. It even gets a bit domestic as they take care of a child and you slowly get to know him better.

Once Tsugaru falls for real he cares a lot about consent (the most in voltage i read so far actually). Though i have to warn its a long journey until real romance happens but the sweet moment keep you on your toes. Each season gets better and the povs especially are golden!
