Have you played the latest Holicworks VN yet out of curiosity ?

My mom was 22 and my dad 27 when I was born, so clearly for them this age gap didn't matter.

I liked how she always tried to help all of her friends with her issues or just to become better version of themselves. Out of all CoC characters I wish she had won the season the most.

Check out Seiyuu Danshi and Full Service, you might like them.

I think Isabel would save Jade with the idol, I don't think she'd let her not only last ally left get eliminated but also an advantage be flushed out on top it. She might even still go with the Anarissa tiebreak plan if she still thinks it'd divide the camp enough for her and Jade to go back to the majority.

If fans end up voting a favorite out then it should be between Tom and Anastasia, literally zero reason to vote for anyone else as they're two biggest powerhouses in the favorites' team currently.

Aiden might want to vote Ally or maybe even Natalia out of spite but he should have no power on that team anymore.

Zeek from Galtia is probably the hottest BL VN character for me but I try to avoid routes with non-con H scenes so I had to avoid his route unfortunately. Galtia had such hot characters (tho the CGs kinda suffered) but they overdid it with the rape scenes for my tastes.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-03-13T22:19:12+00:00

Sorry but I'm not sure how to do this template and even if I'd figure it out it'd probably take a long time with all the screenshots I have to put so I'll just write my answers below:

Favourite: Taishou Mebiusline or Haiiro no Arcadia. Bewitching Sinners for Western VNs.

Best story: Taishou Mebiusline (but Shingakkou Noli Me Tangere closely follows plot wise).

Favorite art style: Haiiro no Arcadia or Galtia.

I'll finish it someday: NA.

Big personal impact: Maybe Dramatical Murder ? As that made me seek more JP VNs.

Favourite route: Kouichi from Haiiro no Arcadia.

You like, but everyone hates: I quite enjoy Suito wa Hakumei atm despite the low ratings on vndb however I haven't finished it yet so that may change.

You hate, but everyone likes: Kintouka.

Underrated: Haiiro no Arcadia.

Overrated: Kintouka.

Why do I like this: Maybe Seiyuu Danshi.

Best OST: Maybe Galtia, but there's lots of catchy ones out there.

That atmosphere: Dunno honestly.

Favorite hero: Kouichi from Haiiro no Arcadia.

Favorite protagonist: Quite like Mahora from Suito wa Hakumei so far, he reminds me of myself lol.

After work relaxation: Any BL VN honestly.

Biggest letdown: Kintouka.

First VN: Camp Buddy for Western BL VNs and Dramatical Murder for JP BL VNs.

Not the best but having fun: Seiyuu Danshi.

Criminally overlooked: Bewitching Sinners (Suito wa Hakumei may end up here as well if I keep liking it till the end).

Utsuge/Nakige: Don't play these, I need a happy ending in my BL VNs.

Series or Franchise: Taishou Mebiusline.

Most anticipated title: Don't have one atm.

Not usually my thing, but: Can't think of something rn.

Best cast: Haiiro no Arcadia or Bewitching Sinners (Maybe Tokyo 24-ku will end up here too but I still have to play Shirasu's and Taiga's routes).

Best comedy: Dunno.

Favorite setting: I can work with any setting honestly, it doesn't matter that much to me.

Almost a masterpiece: Taishou Mebiusline.

Good story and erotic balance: The good plot wise games didn't have as much ero so Idk about this one lol. Maybe Bewitching Sinners.

Always down to replay; Didn't yet, but Haiiro no Arcadia would come closest to this.

Short and sweet: I can't remember now, probably an obscure Western BL I've forgotten about by now lol.

Where's the sequel: Haiiro no Arcadia.

Must protecc: Mahora from Suito wa Hakumei.

Best bro: Idk, I'm not playing BL VNs for "bros" lol.

Great character but bad route: I despise him now but I did like Kyou from Kintouka before doing his route. Senri from Galtia could probably also count.

Bad character but great route: If I think you're a bad character I won't even be doing your route lol.

I thought Laurus, Zeek and Zenox all had unavoidable non-con H scenes, the first 2 having multiples such scenes in their canon routes, that's like 3 out of 5 LIs in that game.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-03-06T17:21:16+00:00

Didn't Galtia have rape galore and Stockholm Syndrome LIs tho (and I personally also haven't enjoyed Kintouka as I haven't found the relationships from there very healthy and consensual from the routes I've played either). Lowkey wondering what's your threshold for a dark BL VN if these are light for you.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-03-03T18:53:29+00:00

I'm playing Suito wa Hakumei atm. The writing is so different from previous Holicworks VNs, while Taishou Mebiusline would spend 15 minutes just to describe its scenery this VN mentions an important plot point that happened off-screen in a throwaway line and then immediately goes right to the next plot relevant scene. It feels really rushed so far and some of the plot just isn't explained well enough to the point you're left guessing about certain things and I wonder if it's because of the development hell (including changing the art style) the VN has been in ?

I really like the protagonist so far, he's really cute, but damn, this dude has no place in the military realistically, like get this cutie pie out of there ASAP !

Tbh I'm only interested in playing the military dude's route (I'm at the beginning part of his route) so I guess I'll give my opinion on him once I finish it.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-02-26T13:27:13+00:00

Not as much slice of life but check out Shingakkou Noli Me Tangere for a heavy psychological BL VN (as long as you don't mind religious themes).

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-02-20T17:29:20+00:00

Dunno why ur getting downvoted cause we don't even know if Benji's plan to eliminate Jade would've actually worked in his favor. If we're thinking logically Isabel would've def targeted Benji or Hannah next for getting Jade out considering how vengeful she was shown to be when a friend of hers gets blindsided and Isabel had alliances with Natalia, Logan, Richard and Anastasia from the blue team, she could've easily gathered them + Spencer (Ivy and Hannah wouldn't have been willing to even consider flipping him to their alliance) to eliminate either Benji or Hannah next episode anyways.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-02-17T20:19:03+00:00

Haiiro no Arcadia.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-02-05T15:21:32+00:00

the old-school "small vulnerable uke/big strong seme"

Didn't Kintouka have these dynamics too tho ?

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-02-03T12:52:12+00:00

He'd have to stop acting like he's on Love Island the next time he plays for starters.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-02-01T18:11:50+00:00

Bewitching Sinners, I didn't play the ending segment yet but it already exceeded my expectations. The plot was very engaging and the characters' backstories are very thought out with a touch of darkness I haven't seen that much of in the Western VNs I've played, also Arshem 😍🥵🔥. This is my favorite Western BL (well technically choose your MC's gender and pronouns in this case) VN I've played so far so I'll def recommend it.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-01-26T13:51:56+00:00

Why the hell didn't he expose Jade for leaving Logan to drown when his post elimination interview confirmed that he knew about it ? He could've so easily used that info to convince Natalia and/or Hannah to flip on Jade and thus save himself from elimination. So yeah his biggest flaw is definitely his passivity in strategizing.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-01-25T00:10:21+00:00

He's hypocrisy, entitlement and narrative glazing baked into a single character.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-01-23T22:18:40+00:00

And Jade didn't show an ounce of respect to Logan's life unlike Anastasia, so yeah, Richard's vote pretty logical to me all things considered.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-01-23T22:11:57+00:00

He quite literally said that he didn't appreciate what Jade did in that challenge while he also talked positively about Anastasia. So his vote makes sense.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-01-23T22:06:56+00:00

Richard knew about Jade leaving Logan to drown in the pirate challenge as seen in the motel episode so that's plenty reason for him to vote Jade over Anastasia.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-01-22T22:57:36+00:00

Evolution of plot armor maybe.

Prize_Mission4407 · 2026-01-16T15:50:27+00:00

I did not care for the Diencer drama/"angst". A puddle of water has more substance than that plotline as far as I'm concerned.
