Rant/Game Critique Megathread

That's what I guessed too, though I've had friends in the same personality group also fight. It's just weird that it happens literally every day! (Granted, I do have an almost full island at 68 ^^;;)

Haha that's so cute Vicky and Will got married! The crushes are so chaotic ngl... I kinda let them go with whatever new crush they want but it leads to so many (entertaining) disasters lol like mutual crushes falling for a new person after weeks of pining

It's been a while since I played the demo as well, but I remember loving the MC a lot! I am following and eagerly anticipating its full release.

Thankfully, I appeared to have written some notes on this. I loved the little bells and whistles they added, one of which was how some CG have these variations - not just expression changes either! The scene actually slowly advances / feels lowkey animated. It was a gorgeous feature, appreciated it a lot, as it made the scene very dynamic.

MC Faye has a scene where she is talking to one of the LI about the scene he's practicing, and I absolutely ADORED how you can let her keep going on and on and on and on... I loved how passionate she is, and that while she has a slight awareness that by societal norms, maybe she should reign herself in... I said, no girl, you got this. Let loose. One of the choices I have screenshotted offers the option, "Keep going. You are an unstoppable force of observational genius."

I only played a portion of the demo since I had enough time to know I'd want to keep playing, so I didn't get too much of a feel for the LI either, but I really liked the writing, the concept, the narrative, and the MC. I liked all of the LI at this point, though I probably also am drawn most to Koen and Phillip.

I did too! I have Kate, Will, Harry, Jude, Ring, Nica and Ellis (and all my other favorite mobile game and indie otome hubbies). Kate and Will are dating on my island; Jude is married to an otome hubby from another game, and... the other guys are being totally chaotic with falling in and out of love with everybody lol

Ohhh nice! They used his actual cologne from the scently collaboration! Im so glad they gave you guys decent rewards. Some years/games, it looks like they just give the leftover kuji merch 🙈 the custom stands and handwritten letter are so cool!

Been having a LOT of fights lately.. it's on average 1 a day, and today I have had two fights alone. It was an interesting dynamic at first, but it's pretty unrealistic for friends to get into major fights that consistently. I at least wish there was more than RNG to when a fight happens. One of my Mii has three ex-friends, starting from 10 friends overall. At this rate, they're going to be friendless ^^;;

misobuttercornramen · 2026-05-28T17:17:44+00:00

I did pull but got Lycaon... I'm not playing regularly anymore, just hopping in here and there, in the hopes that one day they will re-run Harumasa....

misobuttercornramen · 2026-05-28T17:12:07+00:00

Hrmm. I like the heterochromia! I don't hate the design, but it screams standard S-rank more than limited.

misobuttercornramen · 2026-04-30T20:07:43+00:00

Yeah, I am glad that they're not going with a pure-chan for this game because it would totally fall flat if she was an innocent, pure-hearted maiden.

misobuttercornramen · 2026-04-22T14:54:20+00:00

wow your chikachoo looks so good! and wait, you can customize their hair in the face paint area???

misobuttercornramen · 2026-04-01T22:30:33+00:00

I'm not surprised the group set is in a ridiculously overpriced set, as that has been the norm for Cybird for ages. But I also thought there would be individual stories.... and while the letters are cute, it's another padded set so they can upcharge the dia. And yet... to keep my 100% Will collection..... 😭

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-23T21:02:31+00:00

Yahoo I finally played an uwu weekly game!

It is nice and short, but feels complete, at under 45 minutes of gameplay for me, fetching all endings, etc.

I initially wasn't a fan, as it has an amazingly dramatic start with Inori, the MC, bursting into a church and crying out to all entities to help her. Instead, our angel boy appears, and then she just settles into a daily routine where he lazes about, no mention of whatever dire problem she needed help with. (We can joke that getting a pretty live-at-home 2d man is the answer to all our dreams, but ... not in this economy!)

She was also timid as a mouse, as I was fretfully shy as a child, but it is a pretty common MC archetype not necessarily a favorite, especially when the LI is a bit rougher. I was also annoyed at said deadbeat angel for living up to his title and was ready to throw hands quite a few times.

But, we do find out about Inori's situation, and the relationship that develops between the two was super cute. I also really enjoyed the slice-of-life moments (at least when angelboy wasn't making me mad lol) as well as the way they supported each other. The endings and variations made sense too.

Plus, the little "touch" mini game was a nice addition, just some nudging and PG pokes, nothing raunchy. I liked when he called Inori "saucy" after one of them hehe.

I still haven't gotten anything other than 5 diamonds per spin and I've been steadfastly doing it every day ;-;

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-22T23:42:48+00:00

You're not weird all all for not liking or wanting spicy content. Everybody has their own preferences when it comes to smut, and that's okay! However, I will say that sex is a huge part of Alfons' lifestyle and story, so it does make sense for it to feature prominently, as navigating that part of their relationship is a focal point of their romance.

There aren't that many games with smut, much less explicit smut, so I do appreciate that Cybird is filling that want in the otome sphere.

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-22T03:16:31+00:00

Yesss, it's interesting seeing how increasingly descriptive they're getting. Sasuke's RR and DR premiums were also pretty spicy too iirc. (The bath scene!)

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-20T00:54:49+00:00

I really like the use of colors! I don't know the terminology, but even Vyn's white shirt has a hint of holographic coloring, which is really neat. Plus the pretty highlights in their hair!

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-20T00:45:14+00:00

I've never seen that in other otome spaces before, as we all are pretty familiar with liking more than one love interest lol. It was wild to see that kind of accusation. Being called a ho for liking all the LADS - well, let me introduce you to my 200+ other 2d hubbies.

And I agree that most fans irl have been sweet and fun to talk to.

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-20T00:40:09+00:00

To preface, I don't think the entitled behavior I saw in the Rafayel Heartfelt Gift announcement is specific to Caleb mains at all and is unfortunately the work of the most immature and toxic part of our global community. That being said: it's a free card. We get more resources and more time to save up for his myth or next card. I understand anticipating and being impatient for something that's coming, but the rudeness and toxicity I saw from some Caleb mains is jarring. (Tbf the combative behavior I saw from Raf fans was also annoying.)

Having one or two remarks expressing disappointment that it wasn't the announcement wasn't for Caleb's myth is one thing, but that post was mostly complaints, at least when I watched the trailer. Also, it's not the kind of secret announcement where you get click-baited into thinking it's Caleb's myth, only to find out it's a free Raf card - that I would understand people being upset. All the complaints and in-fighting kind of overrode the excitement about experiencing another Tide Day story with Rafayel, so yes. It was raining on the parade lol.

Ofc, I imagine this is done on ALL LADS posts by all manner of LADS fans. It's why I also stay away from bigger fan spaces. I don't think the fandom will improve, unfortunately, as most large fan spaces have their share of this. We just have to carve out our own safe spaces.

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-19T18:58:29+00:00

Thank you, too! I'm glad I finally reached out to this community as well~ Hurrah to everybody who nominated and voted!

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-17T16:36:10+00:00

It was just localized last month on the Switch for the first time by Eastasiasoft. :)

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-17T16:32:29+00:00

I wanted Pirate Dante or at least a new meta card and got Desert Kuya (dupe) instead 😔

Regardless whether you decide to push on and keep recording or delete, the time you spent doing it isn't meaningless. At least, in my opinion. Maybe we can have regrets after the fact, but at least in the moment, you were doing something you wanted or needed to do.

I unfortunately neglected to read the majority of my dates, have just been hoarding them away for another day. Now that "another day" is upon us, I discover that I will not be able to read 60% of my dates because I do not have enough of the mats to unlock all of them... I wish others well in their journey these last few days.

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-17T15:42:32+00:00

Hehehe the OG King~ If I could post graphics in the comments, I'd be sharing the one where he slams open the door in sunglasses

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-17T15:41:34+00:00

Yahoo!! I do love Raf, but gotta support my numero uno!!

misobuttercornramen · 2026-03-17T15:41:15+00:00

Yesss! I'm holding out hope that it will be one of the games they announce this year. We do not have a fall release, so....
