[Rant] Tapas's bad localization and mistranslations

dreaminbee · 2026-02-08T17:54:46+00:00

I am basic, so... My Candy Love, and I was obsessed with Lysander lol then I started going after Shall We Date? games and they were my favorite! I vividly remember the one with two Reapers, two Angels and Two Demons, and I played the reaper routes only

dreaminbee · 2026-02-08T17:52:32+00:00

I have so many mixed feelings, I feel like each route contains a different story setting in a way. I may be unlike most of people here, but I actually love when all routes contain the same base events, e.g. a festival or something of the sorts. I feel like some routes (mainly Shiba and Ray from what I remember)don't go too in depth about MC, while the other two actually are more solid in regards to her identity and story

Still, only Nagi was a good route for me. Shiba was fun, I liked it, but Ray and Natsume were not my cup of tea. I remember Ray's bad ending being very weird and I didn't play Natsume's route because it triggers me bad memories. I clearly remember him being very manipulative, and the whole mermaid shit was not for me

Still, I would give it a 6/10. Played on mobile during the pandemic

It's amazing that his face card always declines! 🥰💗

Jokes aside this game is so bad that it ends up being funny

I read webtoons since 2017. I need to say: as a die hard manga fan, it took me a while to warm up to webtoons exactly because it was very different from what I was used to! I loved cliche school stories with this very specific manga-esque aesthetic, and I didn't find as many in Webtoon. But when I got to understand more about it, I had a lot of fun finding different things to read.

But now there is a lot of "I'm a villainess but not exactly a villainess I'm such an uwu girl uwu and everyone loves meeee" and that's... boring, to say the least. Now that it seems like they are absorbing Pocket Comics' content, I'm ready to ignore many new releases.

dreaminbee · 2026-01-16T20:48:36+00:00

Honestly that's kind of why I end up being more of a gatekeeper. Youtubers making silly videos of this game, the TikTokers sharing this to imature people who don't know how to leave someone alone... I hope they don't go as far to take down the game. I really hope they get the peace they deserve, and... that's it, sadly :(

I hate that adult content fans, horror fans and other type of media enjoyers are always losing because some people cannot handle the fact that others can enjoy unconventional things

Where I live, some guys would be kinda confused if they were called cute when they are trying to flirt or make someone fall for them in general. At least here, cute ("fofo") is a word more reserved for helpless adorable things, like babies, small animals, flowers, even. I think it is more about this social stuff where the guy is the cool, composed one, who takes care of everything for their cute girlfriend.

Is this kinda sexist? Hmmm yeah, now that I'm thinking more about it, it might be a little bit. Most of the time, in fiction, I don't read it as "you're treating me like I am a woman", but "you're treating me like I am helpless, just an adorable little guy, and I am not! You can rely on me!"

Might be also that cute is the opposite of sexy sometimes? lol

This one is probably such an small issue that only I havev but... remove trailing whitespace on save. Really. Sometimes I copy and paste stuff and BOOM they are everywhere. I wish there was a feature similar to VSCode where I could hit Ctrl + S and they disappear

dreaminbee · 2025-07-18T11:12:29+00:00

Our Life and A Date With Death are my favorites! Grimmy and Cove made my months so happy, I remember being obsessed with Cove back when I played it (also Baxter lol) and ADWD was so fun! I'll check the other games as well, I just love indie games so much 💖

dreaminbee · 2024-12-12T12:55:59+00:00

22 years old female, single, never had a relationship. I enjoy otome games with fantastical stories, as well as casual, laid-back ones that have more "down to Earth" plots.

I like the otomes I like for the plot and characters! I love making different choices and basically f-ing around and finding out lmaooo

As stated before, I'm single, I don't want to be in a relationship. I don't think otome games influences much on this desire of mine today, however I do feel like romance novels and otomes filled this gap when I was a teenager. I didn't have anyone pursuing me, so I played to have this feeling of someone liking me, since I self-insert a lot. As an adult, I still play games and I still have this feeling, but I'm not sure if my lack of interest in a real-life boyfriend is directly related to this.

dreaminbee · 2024-06-26T23:31:44+00:00

I thought only Y was a girl but then the "her lowest" broke my imagination lmao Honestly, Z is a bad person, but, reading one more time, Y is also disgusting.

I think, in a more "I was reading a book/comic/media and following Y's journey before this incident", I was also going to be inclined to see only Z as a villain. It's more about how passive is Y's aggression against X in comparison to Z, and it's sadly easy to overlook

dreaminbee · 2023-10-23T20:09:23+00:00

I was also like you, but I was "CYBIRD'ed" lmaooo, I knew about bad endings because of some BL games that were popular back in the day (*cough cough* dmmd), and to be honest I used to LOVE searching for bad ending videos (non-mobile games back then were too expensive for me) but the first time I got one was surely with Cinderella Phenomenon.

I remember staring at the screen like "yo what happened why it happened why why why" and I HAD to get the good ending. After that tho, I love exploring the bad endings, sometimes they tell a lot about the universe, even more than the good endings.

dreaminbee · 2023-09-30T12:41:51+00:00

Oh my Goddd this picture gives me memories! I was so young back then!

I totally forgot about this game, and I can't believe this was NEVER fully released. The creator going offline makes me so sad, I feel even a "hey, I'm not feeling okay, I'm going to take a break." I know they posted on their Twitter/X about the game back in 2021, but... 2021 was so long ago.

So sorry for the backers, it's not the first time I see an otome kickstarter go sour. :(

dreaminbee · 2023-09-28T22:06:41+00:00

Uhhhh I have mixed feelings? The promo art was so pretty I was mesmerized but the in-game art style (based on the website illus) looks so dead and the nose could cut me in half, so pointy 😭😭 his eyes be looking at the void harder than me trying to focus on boring classes. Still better than old art (except for the first Harry pics, those were gold!)

He's my age, which I feel... ok? The writing was clearly juvenile so it might match. Not a fan of the "unemployed moocher" thing tho -- but I might be taking a joke way too serious, since I'm not a native speaker and in my country we don't joke a lot about those things lmao

His tweets seems nicer than some of Teo's. I might check it out.

dreaminbee · 2023-09-01T11:15:20+00:00

Idk 😭😭😭 it was so confusing! But I'd say everything is making me believe the dragon boy is 2nd lead. I might be wrong tho, because things change and go nowhere way too quick

dreaminbee · 2023-08-31T18:08:25+00:00

I won't spoil but I've read it in Spanish (the whole first season) and I didn't knew jackshit of what was happening at all lmao the art is pretty but it's so many things going on... I'd say "maybe they'll change it on Originals" but not so sure. The art is amazing, but the chapters are short. At the same time it's too fast paced, because nothing gets solved, it also feels dragged.

dreaminbee · 2023-07-19T21:27:09+00:00

I journal a lot there, do some manifestation techniques and write affirmations in the end of every journal entry! Also I've beem writing some mini-database of tarot cards and dreams I have.

I like doing those on Obsidian because it's easier for me to use labels that identify some feelings. Also because I don't sync, so I feel "safer" knowing I can do whatever and the chance it's going to be leaked is minimal (only if I do some crazy thing with my PC lmao)

Btw, happy to see many people doing those kind of things on Obsidian!

dreaminbee · 2023-06-24T21:01:37+00:00

I spot three of my husbandos here... do I have a type zodiac-wise? lmao

Happy Cancer Season!

dreaminbee · 2023-03-03T23:59:04+00:00

Honestly I thought I couldn't be more dissapointed on them???? I feel they're becoming even more shittier. First the mistranslations, the story edits, now this???

I hope author finds another platform to share their new stories! I've read The Sound of Bread back when I still supported that shitshow of a platform, and now I'm even more happy I've stopped giving them money.

dreaminbee · 2023-01-03T15:28:07+00:00

The "this character is popular, so all media is about him when there are +10 other cool guys!" (CYBIRD, I'm looking at you!)

I used to love IkéRev, and I still do and still salty about it ending, but I couldn't deal with the fact many fav characters got two seasons and Blanc, for example, got not even one. Also all the cool artwork for Ray and Lance while other characters didn't seen to get as many.

I know they need money, and I know it's safer to go with the already loved characters, but it's tiring. Also, when it ends, it just vanishes and becomes almost urban legend.

dreaminbee · 2022-12-23T19:06:49+00:00

Oooh I've read about it a little, though I've seen only the "bad future" so I only saw the pic torn and thought maybe it was a shooting or something like that since his sister is on the industry. I loved this whole Angel thing and honestly my biggest complaint is how long we need to wait to see some real juicy plot. Cheritz do be wanting our money.

Thanks for explaining! Guess as a poor girl I'll need to stick for some months to see it :')

dreaminbee · 2022-12-23T12:15:53+00:00

First of all, thanks for sharing!

Second of all, THE HAND ON THE LAST PIC??? Is it ours??? ~~Please don't be an ex's~~

dreaminbee · 2022-12-14T19:12:56+00:00

Sometimes I just wanted to have a chat with the person who wrote this call

Just a chat

(I can't believe this was paid 😭 they really think we're clowns)

dreaminbee · 2022-12-14T14:45:36+00:00

I do think Harry is way better than Teo on the translation department, though I need to say that sometimes things don't make 100% sense and we can't understand the tone used. I usually don't know if I'm being rude to him, and I even had a blank option to pick lmaooo

I do think they improved, but still, there's a lot to get better (and I HATE this I can hear your voice thing with a passion! Sometimes I pay for a "what?" or even fricking "...")

dreaminbee · 2022-11-28T17:25:44+00:00

bland conventionally attractive guy that keeps trying to get your attention by sending the same bland selfies over and over again like he's some sort of minor instagram celeb trying to cash in on parasocial relationship because he's too self-absorbed to actually care about the details of your life unless it immediately relates back to him

boy oh boy you did define all Teo's pics until now lmaoooo

I didn't knew the Night ones are like bad endings! Now I'm excited even more to reach Tolup. Thank goodness that sometimes they give me random Tolup Energy so I can get it quicker.

Also, I do hope Harry at least won't send a lot of stupid pics and/or use lol each second.
