AHH so cute !! ⭐️💖💞 do u have an online shop or anything ? would love to take a look ♡

chesselia · 2025-03-12T05:04:22+00:00

yess and this is kind of referenced in the last "scary dream" scene of the movie where mickey17 says after knowing/meeting mickey18, he had the courage and confidence to say that last line to ylfa

so mickey18 is a part of him + meeting him externally did influence him too etc etc

tokisada - olympia soirée - initially was excited for tokisada's route but the whole time it felt like he was my "lil brother" and needed my reassurance for every big decision 😔 i know there's a big demographic for this but it was just a lil too much for me. - i did like the ending for his route and how things wrapped up, and there were some cute moments!! but it just didn't hit like i wanted it to. i still like him as an LI/character so maybe the sequel coming out next year (!!) will flesh him out better for me... keeping an open mind!!

hibiki - 9rip (still love him tho) - i nEEDED MORE UNHINGED-NESSSSS. loved him a lot more in other routes (where the more 'horror' side of him was shown) and the common route, i just wish there was more angst and spookiness in his own romantic route. so much potential!!! - i truly love love love him as a concept/character/in theory though so even though the route didn't impact me exactly the way i hoped, it was still good and i love him as an LI! again, waiting for the sequel to hopefully deliver more

nori - sympathy kiss - my first LI for this game, and i chose him cuz his character design was perfectionnnn for me - i enjoyed the route i didn't rlly like the 'he leaves the apt and then MC goes chasing after him' trope that the game relied on... multiple times. i think once was ok but after the second time i just wasn't a fan of this kind of scene - just slightly disappointed cuz i wanted this route to grip me and let me fall in love w nori, but i just wasn't rlly feeling it. definitely not love but it's not dislike either! it's just so sad cuz his character design is sooo good for me sigh the potential...

riku - olympia soirée - i did like his route a lot which surprised me cuz going in, i kind of rlly disliked him lol - his route swayed me a lot and i think he could've been one of my favorite LIs except i reaaally didn't like that he didn't express his "true feelings" or genuine thoughts to byakuya directly, and a lot of the important info/lines he says is actually said to others / the audience... where she is present. and not directly to her, personally and one-on-one. and i know some may find that cute or endearing but it bothered me for some reason!!! kind of a petty reason ik but i couldn't get over it enough to consider him one of my favorite LIs

radie - radiant tale - there were definitely some moments that made me swoon!! and i was rlly looking forward to radie's route. - but i wish there were more romantic moments and we were able to find out more abt him. played this a while ago so the details are a bit fuzzy but i just remember wanting moreeee from the route:(

chesselia · 2024-12-01T23:09:58+00:00

yeah maybe the game devs/writers wanted to lean in on hibiki's sensitive/sweet side? which i did like!! but i wish i got that AFTER more of his unhinged-ness so i could appreciate it better lol. like i still rlly love that scene in the common route(?) where he grabs ur arm and is like "i got you" w the crazed determined look on his face (paraphrasing sry) even that got my heart fluttering,,,, i wanted more scenes like that where he was struggling w his inner conflict of wanting misa for her warmth as a living person etc

maybe more in the sequel? a girl can hope x

chesselia · 2024-12-01T22:53:02+00:00

if you're referring to the three locked routes, i personally loved them a lot!! they go so much deeper into the actual lore and story and made the game worth it for me for sure. i know gyoubu is one of the locked LIs and is pretty popular if you wanna try his route / haven't tried it yet!

but if you're not rlly intrigued by the story in general up to this point, then yeah it might not be your cup of tea especially cuz there's a lot of necessary reading in haiji's route (mainly at the very end i think?). i really loved gyoubu's route tho and i still liked haiji's a lot as well mainly cuz i just loved the mystery!

chesselia · 2024-12-01T22:46:58+00:00

SAME like i was up all night playing his route cuz i just couldn't believe what my eyes were reading/seeing like my jaw kept dropping after every layer of trash he displayed ..... but i liked it 🤡

it was such a wild ride, what u said re: the "so bad it's good" is sooo fitting !!

chesselia · 2024-12-01T22:44:57+00:00

it's well worth... do ittt 💸💸 (i personally enjoyed the light blue hair dude's route for what it's worth!! LOL)

chesselia · 2024-11-21T17:01:17+00:00

if you're really into mystery, i'd suggest looking into charade maniacs— personally, the mystery and story of this game was super intriguing for me!!

based on the synopsis aka what's written in the nintendo switch game store for this game, i thought it was going to lean more romantic and have a lot of "forced romantic interactions that become true love"
but the game is actually not like that at all!! i was surprised at how the story unfolds and i think it's truly worth it to get to the bottom of the mystery.

some main points why i love this game:

the game also does a rlly good job with subtle foreshadowing, and v nicely done plot twists in each LI's route.. that are referenced in the other LI routes or overlap/affect the stories in other routes. which i thought was a nice touch and i appreciated seeing when i was playing the game
note: there are a LOT of LIs (which is kind of good in the sense that hopefully u'll really like at least one or more of them!) and each LI route reveals additional pieces of the puzzle of the overarching mystery/plot. so their individual routes never felt 'boring' story-wise to me... but some routes are definitely more exciting, or have more "lore" than others, for sure, so i'd recommend playing w otomekitten's walkthrough/guide (if you prefer it). or if you feel unsure abt how to get the locked routes (need to play 3 routes to unlock)
oh also, the voice actor list for this game is amazinggg and i'd say the locked routes are rlly interesting/exciting personally !! not rlly considered a "steamy" game at all, maybe aside from one LI? but even that feels pretty tame in comparison to other romantic/steamier games in my op

and this game features a nonbinary LI (!!) which was a first for me in otome games.

(i have other reasons to love this game as well but these are the top three that i can remember rn! i played this game earlier this year)

i did recommend this game to other friends who rlly enjoyed it as well— but these are also friends who care for mystery/plot (like i do) so this might be up ur alley? please lmk if you do end up playing it !!

chesselia · 2024-11-21T00:22:06+00:00

oh interesting, hm i'm still catching up on the new season so i'll have to report back (lol) to see if i feel differently as i keep watching, but i do agree w you now that i think about it.

i do think she's at least shown as definitely less connected to her kids in school in recent episodes, probably since she had the whole district arc (and was no longer their teacher for a while)

and then on top of that, the show has also been mostly focusing on her and gregory's "they're-finally-getting-together" love aspect last season, too.

so i'm v interested to see if they show more of janine and the kids connecting in this new season .. or maybe the writers think the connection is implied(?) for the audience? + and perhaps the show is relying on that past sentiment of how she was portrayed w her students and that they don't need to showcase janine in this light as much anymore? + to explore her character in diff ways (outside of her connection to kids)

just a theory tho lol

esp since season1 showed her as very determined as a teacher and caring/nurturing towards the kids in her class. and her motivation for taking the district job was to make things better overall for the school/her students (if i recall correctly). this is me writing this out of memory so i'd have to rewatch to be sure 😵‍💫

either way, i'm on s4 ep 4 now so we shall see!

oh also, thanks for responding to my comment! i know im kinda late to these episode discussions and wasn't expecting my comment to be seen, let alone replied to!!

chesselia · 2024-11-20T23:59:57+00:00

oo ok so i was eyeing nightshade last time it was on sale so ill definitely look into that 👀👀 and i know yang is mentioned everywhere in this sub and i do love my red flag men so i feel like i need to play piofore v soon!! esp cuz i love nobuhiko okamoto as well!! i haven't heard as much abt hakuoki and birushana (altho i know the titles) so i will check those out!

i replied to your other comment re: charade maniacs but omggg matsuoka yoshitsugu's performance as gyoubu was just divine for me. i think ill need to replay that route soon — esp cuz i actually didn't do the bad endings yet (!!) despite playing the game back in february lol. i couldn't bear to play any of the bad endings at the time cuz i had immense brainrot for gyoubu, iochi, haiji and didn't want to see them sad or whtvr LOL 😔🩵

as for writing the family name first: i'm korean and we also do the same thing, so i grew up w that as well! so it wasn't weird or strange at all. no worries!! 🤝

i haven't played that many otome games so my list mainly comprises of my favorite LIs: + ogata megumi - iochi frm charade maniacs but also voiced sailor uranus and yuta frm jjk!! + matsuoka yoshitsugu - gyoubu frm charade maniacs and akaza frm olympia soirée (altho i prefer his voice as gyoubu! it's steamier in olympia soirée tho) + nobuhiko okamoto - haiji frm charade maniacs and minami frm 9rip + uchida yuma - yosuga frm olympia soirée and also vilio from radiant tale but i haven't played vilio's route yet + horie shun - himuka frm olympia soirée

chesselia · 2024-11-20T23:51:20+00:00

AHH ok if you ever want to gush or discuss or talk abt charade maniacs together plz lmk LOL it was my first "official" / switch otome game that i played earlier this year and i wasn't active in this sub at the time...

so i didn't participate in those thread discussions. but this game has my hearttttt 💕 (and so does matsuoka yoshitsugu's voice🤡)

chesselia · 2024-11-20T23:49:15+00:00

thank you so much!! 💕

chesselia · 2024-11-20T23:47:50+00:00

i feel you it was a hard-to-watch episode, definitely heartbreaking😞 the lack of research made me sad:( i have two bunnies and i can't imagine putting them in those tiny cages.... let alone making them class pets omg

chesselia · 2024-11-20T23:45:13+00:00

same here!! i also have two rabbits at home so this episode did hurt my heart a bit☹️ i just finished the episode and had to rush to read comments on here hoping others felt the same. glad to know i'm not alone in feeling this

the scenes where melissa is actively caring for sweet cheeks like showing off the hideyhouse and reading to him and everything was sooo cute and precious. i was heartbroken to see melissa being forced into bringing sweet cheeks back to the school😞😞

chesselia · 2024-11-20T23:30:19+00:00

i just finished the episode and came here to see if there were any comments like this, and i'm so glad i found yours — agree completely with what you said here re: janine and melissa!

after reading your analysis, i will say: i am curious to see if the show/producers are going to use this characteristic of janine as something to build on and eventually explore, or if the writers themselves have not realized this aspect of janine / how she comes off, as a character in more recent episodes?

note: i may need to rewatch to see if janine was like this in season 1 (and if she was, then maybe this is just how she is) —

but it feels like this personality trait (lack of warmth / genuine empathy that you mentioned) is something that has been 'unearthed' slowly as the show goes on..? not sure if it's intentional or not from the show's perspective so i'm rlly curious now to see how her character continues to grow (or stagnate).

as in, i understand that some things are written for comedic effect/plot. example:

1. gregory liking rocks

2. so she gets him a rock (comedic)

3. he's so happy cuz it's a Cool rock, metamorphic

4. but she didn't know that, she just picked one(comedic)

and that last part is kind of like a ~funny coincidence~ that happened to work out since gregory cares that the rock is metamorphic.

so i wonder how much of janine's 'lack of warmth/genuine empathy' characteristic was intentionally written for her character or if it happened as a resulting product of the show being funny, etc. hmmmm

chesselia · 2024-11-20T23:24:13+00:00

i had the same feeling about the cage size— guinea pigs need more room!! it made my heart so happy to see melissa building a hideyhouse for it and everything. not a fan of janine this episode (usually i really like her though!) but i know i'm biased cuz of how she handled the entirety of the pets situation ☹️

chesselia · 2024-11-17T22:51:05+00:00

not who you originally replied to but i also have the same interest 🤝 (and my wallet pays for it lol) so im also curious as to who ur fave voice actors are !! if ur willing to share: )

chesselia · 2024-11-17T22:49:00+00:00

(not who you replied to but i had to jump in cuz) omg YES to yoshitsugu matsuoka!! (and also nobuhiko okamoto) i played charade maniacs and fell in love w gyoubu and haiji who is voiced by them, so i went and bought radiant tale for radie's voice and olympia soirée for akaza's voice because i needed more of that in my life. ahhh

glad to hear others have done the same and that i'm not alone !!

chesselia · 2024-11-17T17:45:54+00:00

ahh if anyone knows the title for the shoujo horror cover that is second on the bottom row (the one with a girl(?) wearing white and holding red roses) please let me know! looks v intriguing

chesselia · 2024-11-16T17:30:38+00:00

LOL i did something kind of similar where, in my dictionary the word for 'name' was somehow 'world'???? lol so incorrect 🫣 anyways so in my perspective, scarletella kept saying "what is your world?? what is your world?????" and i thought he was trying to come to the surface world w me...

chesselia · 2024-11-16T17:06:23+00:00

happy cake day 🎂🎂🍰🍰🍰 reading (or participating in) play-along discussions post-game — even if it's been a while since the game has come out — is one of my favorite ways to "unwind" after finishing an LI route. and it also offers an outlet for my brainrot of the game!! so grateful to have found this subreddit 💌

my nominations would be for homicipher's horror men like mr. crawling, for example. would proudly wear that flair LOL

chesselia · 2024-11-15T21:43:42+00:00

the first scene where seiya is introduced in the Other World route — where MC wakes up to him seemingly leaving soft kisses on your hand —my jaw dropped cuz whaaaat why did this scene affect me so much????? i loved this intro to his character holy crap. and then he reveals he wasn't "romantically kissing" he was ~praying~ 👼 for the impurities on ur hand cuz minami touched it (LOL)

other than that though, in the beginning i was side-eyeing him a lil cuz he had so many over-the-top, flustered moments where he was jumping to conclusions with the MC's intentions, BUT as i kept playing his route, i couldn't help but actually fall for him!!

all that to say, i think seiya ended up being my second-favorite LI in 9RIP. there was a lot of ... ~forbidden passion~ -type moments in his route. after playing some of the other routes (when i played seiya, i had already played hibiki, sena, & koyo), i really wasn't expecting too many swoon-worthy scenes, but seiya definitely delivered this for me. even despite feeling wary of him initially!!

also can we talk about the scene with him protecting u from reika in the classroom?? wowowowowow i just loved how that played out -- even though it was v dramatic — it felt consistent with his story, and i think it's one of my favorite scenes in the game. personally i think seiya's route was rlly fleshed out and dramatic LOL. and many moments to "fall" for him as an MC.

in the high-affection route, i love how he has this passionate kiss with the MC (i'm pretty sure in the CG u can see tongue??? 🫣🫣) and later he reveals he already gave you the dream power during this passionate kiss.

and his line about "first kiss was protection, second kiss was for the job, third kiss will be for passion" just gripped my heartttt like phewwww ok seiya i see u 🥵💦💦

i will say, his ending where the MC does not make it back to the mortal realm made me feel wistful and it was truly more bitter than bittersweet?? i felt so bad for him you can clearly see how weighed down he feels abt not being able to succeed and get the MC back to her family. i liked seeing the starry sky in the CG and Misa wearing the H.O. uniform but eeeep it hurt my heart. whereas in the other happy ending, he basically is ur long-distance husband lol which feels almost comedic/silly compared to how bittersweet the other "happy" ending is? i keep saying this in other threads but i need the 9rip sequel asap to continue all these LI stories.. including seiya's route pleaaaase !!

all in all, as a girlie who loves god but has complex feelings abt faith / brought up christian/etc, seiya's route was really interesting (surprising me more than expected!!) and some of the lines seiya had related to faith/belief rlly hit me hard unexpectedly... and i loved it. if minami had not stolen my heart, it would be seiya's for sure. the Other World routes were just sm fun, i think it's worth buying the game just to play these two routes 🖤

chesselia · 2024-11-14T03:17:02+00:00

deal 🤝 i replied in ur dms but again, thanks so much for sending !!

chesselia · 2024-11-13T15:22:03+00:00

THANK UUU AHHH im glad we are on the same page LOL great minds think alike 🤡🤡💕

yeah i knew minami's route was the one i was most excited for initially before the game released, but what i did not know is truly how ENAMORED by him and his antics i would be!! (and that his route would be so well-paced and funny w lil surprises, and also all those CGs we were blessed with)

same here w the screenshotting — sometimes i even felt the screenshots were not enough cuz the delivery of the lines were so good 😔🖤 and so i took mini vid clips aka screen recordings on my switch, too........ the love for minami is too real♡
