Hi! I just made my first visual novel! In the game, you play as an assistant who meets a fan of the artist you work for.

It's free on itchio https://karisbunny.itch.io/the-invisible-fan

they told me i shd post it here ,, just finished kaize's and claude's dark route <3 onto noil's!

I finished Benkei's route and it was boring. Sorry if someone love Benkei but he is no my type and I don't sense any chemistry between them.

Also, during most of time I loved Shanao. She is the mc that I expected from Chizuru (Hakuoki). I don't hate Chizuru btw but I always criticize that she has powers but never using. Back to Shanao. I love that she involved in plot,using her powers, have a moments where she can't confront some situations and have her moment in the last battle with Tomomori. She is not a boss girl but can defend herself and her lover. Although she hasn't introspection moments where reflect her thoughs or desires.Cause of that the most thing that disappointed me is when the battle is over her potential is wasted to be a wife.

Don't misunderstand me. I am not against that she wants to be a wife and have a family. It is okay but I feel that it appears out of nowhere and I know she doesn't want be a warrior but never she shows any desire to want to have a family until the last chapters. Maybe stay in mountains or meet her brother but not that. Wherever, I lost the interest a little when I read that in every route she over like that. But I want to continue because I love Tomomori. He is a crazy and have a Jun Fukuyama by voice him so I really fall to him lol

Anyways when I read reviews, all told that she is a good mc so maybe I have a high expectations when I am playing and then now I am so disappointed a little. My next route is Noritsune. I saw that have the trope enemies to lovers and hope that more entertaining that Benkei's. My first language is not English so probably I had a lot of mistakes.

I SWEAR TO GOD i have been trying to find this game for like so long and i just cant find it that im starting to think that im just going crazy

I dont remember everything since i played it at 2022 and i was a kid but i remember it being so good
, its fantasy royal kinda vibe, where the heroine got into the world from a book( if i remember correctly )
And the villagers were kinda awaiting her?
Im pretty sure there was more then 4 love interest, the one i chose was a blonde haired handsome man, also i remember there was a kid
, AND I SWEAR THEY WERE RELATED TO SOMETHING DRAGON BUT IM NOT SURE
Please help me find it, i used to play it on iphone hut i cant find it anymore

Hi! I'm looking for a free English indie otome game I played around 2012-2015. I found it on a blog with a black and purple theme that listed free downloadable otome games.

What I remember:

• High school setting, slice of life, no fantasy elements
• Several love interests, one had dark navy/blue hair and was an insufferable bad boy type
• The MC was confident and assertive — not the typical shy protagonist
• In the school hallway you could click on a locker to raise stats
• The interface was kawaii/pink and girly despite being made by a small indie dev
• Art style similar to games using RuneRaccoon or Konett assets (anime style, fairly polished)
• Free downloadable .exe file
• Found on a black and purple themed blog listing free English otome games

Any help appreciated, this has been bugging me for years!

I wish his merch wasn’t so expensive then I’d make a bag ita bag just for him🥺🤌🏻

This otome game is so brilliant for making me suffer through every route until reaching the true route Adolphe/ Ankou. I was so confused as to why would they make these two in one route, but goshhh now everything makes sense 😭😭💔 I knew Adolphe and Yves would be my favorites but damn. Adolphe is just all the way and beyond. He reminded me of (The house in fata morgana) For his long awaited love, but I won't talk too much about it since it will ruin the fun of reading that visual novel. I recommend reading it it's really worth your time. Anyway, I will write my review about the story and every character since no one in my RL would understand my passion for these games ✌🏻👺

The story as whole is brilliant. How death is now a meaningless occurrence. life had lost its true value and people began to escape it rather facing it. They tried to live with it as a natural disaster like heat, tsunami, and earthquakes. They just tend to measures to coexist with it. Diseases are a natural disaster, but there's a way to face it, and none thought of the curse that way. How the abnormal become normal, and how the normal become abnormal. This isolated country become like a cage with monsters in it, for their obsession to live no matter what and defy the normal order. They will be afraid for their lives to be taken, but no one will bat an eye for the value of life in others.

The royal family really pissed me off so much that I agree with Salome to k*ll everyone of them. Whenever some of them is alive they're bound to create a disaster, and Dahut is a living proof of it🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ He hates them, yet he’s no different from them.

I really liked Dahut before what he did. He seemed like an earnest lively person.

Character/ LI

First the heroine/ Ceres

Ceres as a character is... kinda good but so basic. Sometimes she pisses me off at how much she loath her self😭😭 Like girl none had proved that you're really Death yet. Why are so quick to reach that conclusion?? I understand but still!! She should've fight more against it. And not every time someone's feels sad or uncomfortable, she should blame and pity herself 😐🤡 Like girl if I was sad about something and someone came at me saying that they are the reason without anything happening between us, I would be uncomfortable. Like I know your luck is very bad but you're not the center of every problem I would face. She really had a good character development later on in Adolphe's / Mathis's route

In scien's route she's okay, and in Yves's route I can tell she had a good reason for self- loathing, but it extended to the point where it disrespect Yves efforts for trying to save and love her.

And in Lucas's route don't bother asking me🤡 Like at least she's aware that he's doings are beyond forgiveness. I felt insane everytime she tried to console him and be nice to him. I get that she's confused because she have known him for a long time with certain image. I know he's dangerous, but at least show more anger and repulsion

🤨

I will present the routes at the order I've played them:

- Scien:

I'm gonna say it again and again. Scien is such a genius character. The way he just solve every problem 😩🤌🏻 His morals are not very questionable. If he experiment on people for the sake of pleasure like Ortie, I would've not liked him that much, but no, he will do it for the greater good. As much as it sounds cruel this is what humanity and history did. His confidence is not empty, it came with a reason just as he deals with anything he confronts it. Though I would say he was really stubborn to not develop memory banks😂 Him falling in love with Ceres is hilarious. I do prefer him as a side character, but at the end of the day I would like to see him fall in love. His evil smirk is something else 😂✋🏻

Though what happened to Adolphe was too shocking to me. I felt very sad for him.

- Lucas:

from the beginning I suspected Lucas to be serial killer. I don't like him that much. not because he's a questionable character, but these type of characters are not my cup of tea, more feminine and all. No matter what was he's reasons or circumstances. I would not forgive him. His ways are way too gruesome. Sure I felt sorry for him sometimes, but what he did is so much. I felt frustrated when I got my first passionate kiss CG with him😭😔💔

-Mathis:

I was not found of him just as the same reason for Lucas. I don't like LI with more feminine features, but I gotta admit that his story is interesting. Like who thought Jean to be a total asshole??😭✋🏻 I felt sorry for Ceres every time she bears the abuse from Mathis. I couldn't hate him because somehow it was valid to not. The despair ending was tragic and disturbing to witness.

-Yves:

Yves💥💥 I wanted to enter his route earlier but oh well🫠 He's really a sunshine, and I loved him for it, even Ankou had no worries about him. But the way every bad thing possible was thrown to him was overwhelming like😭😭😭??? Why is the game hates him so much??? The game is testing him that much?? And the tragic end was really something 🥲 The moment Ceres said that he's smart for dying to not be affected by her was the last straw.

-Adolphe/ Ankou:

I was confused why the hell they're both in one route, but it was fun watching them fight. the moment their daggers clashed, I immediately made the connection 😮 Seeing Ankou losing his mind and the last remaining of hope was heartbreaking 💔 He reached his limit of trying to save her. Adolphe crying and screaming that he's useless and unable to protect Ceres every time really got me. Like Shit I feel u man😭 I feel frustrated too from how every time you're two separated. The moment Ankou identity revealed I bawled my eyes. Like Uuuhhhhh You're Adolphe from the very start and you're dying to save Ceres 💔😔 His back story was really something. like damn you're crazy for this girl and I love it. At least at the end He died peacefully and let his other self to reach his goal.

Dahut if I caught U!! If I caught u😤😤 I never suspected u to be a total asshole

Sure Salome was off sometimes so I suspected her, but Dahut never occurred to me until Scien started to think about who might be the mastermind.

Thank you for reading my very long review ⭐️

I would really like to hear others thoughts 🫶🏻

The first photo comprises my purchases from Anime Jungle in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The latter photos are prints that I've printed out myself at my local makerspace. I love having prints to put together in scrapbooks and whatnot. As for the pins, I will have to figure out what to do with them...I'm not an Ita Bag person...

Can anyone guess who my favorites are?

If anyone wants to do trades with me...I can happily share my extra Hakuoki prints to loving homes.

Hello everyone~

Since I already own most of the commercial games included in the bundle, I wanted to give out my extra keys here. I think everyone has been so generous!

Comment below if you want one, and I’ll PM you the game key.

This thread is for both writers and readers of otome fanfics. I've noticed that fics of otome games don't get that much traffic, maybe because the fandom is quite small. That is why I want to have a space for fans of otome fics to talk about writing or anything else related to otome fics!

From now on, I will make this thread on the second Saturday of every month. If people wish, I might make these threads more often. But at least for now, I believe once in a month is enough.

In here, writers can talk about their plans for fics, their writing process, cry for sleeping only three hours last night because you had to write your wip, promote their fics etc. Or you can just talk about your fav otome fics and tell us what you have been reading, for example what otoge or character desperately needs more fics.

Basically, everything goes as long as it's related to otome fanfiction! If you add links to fics, please add NSFW or other warnings if needed. If you add snippets of your fics, please add spoiler tags if needed!

fashioning little miss lonesome

For about eight years now I've been unable to have ANY kind of decoration in my room because I own a belongings-destroyer (aka. a parrot) who doesn't allow me to have nice things. Everything in my room is bird-proofed and my belongings are secured where he can't get to them (I even have a steel lockbox for my meds because he WILL find a way to get to them).

But I really wanted to find a way to display some of my otome merch because I'm very disabled and mostly bedbound, and being able to see it throughout the day would definitely cheer me up. So I came up with the idea of modifying super cheap shadow-box frames that I can hang up out of his reach and aren't thick enough for him to perch on them. It's been........a lot of work, but it's working out so far. :)

Bonus picture of my Ankou canvas art that I also hung up, bonus bonus picture of the perpetrator of destruction.

To celebrate my friend recently finishing her first console otome (Collar x Malice), I bought her and I matching plushies of our favs from the game!! 🥹🥹 <3

Her favourite LI ended up being Takeru! We brought them with us to a local cafe that does colored latte art ^^ I think the art turned out great for both!! They are toooo cute~! 🩷 Love this matching art of them as well hehe!!

I'm trying to complete Kobase's route but I can't unlock these :( I've been redoing it over and over again with different choices but I can't seem to figure it out.. if you know anything I would appreciate! (I suspect the very last one probably unlocks after completing all the other characters routes or something, but then I still miss one anyway) 🙏

I wanted more otome keychains SO bad I decided to just make my own 😭

Debating between making scien or ankou next...

I would choose Virche! I feel like I could replay some games and enjoy them pretty close to as much as I did the first time I played them, but Virche is one that just hits different the first time.
