  • What I watched this season:

    Gundam GQuuuuuux

    • This could have needed a few more episodes to flesh out the character more
    • As someone who hasn’t watched all of the original Gundam stuff, I missed out on a lots of the references and was confused at a few moments
    • yuri-bait >:(
    • otherwise a very fun watch tbh

    Rock is A Lady’s Modesty

    • super fun throughout!

    Apothecary Diaries Season 2

    • Loved the intrigue and the increased political scope this season
    • Maomao be Maomaoing

    To Be Hero X

    • The animation is jaw-droppingly beautiful
    • The first episodes instantly hook you
    • The later stories didn’t grab me as hard but I’m gonna watch this to the end

    The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom

    • This one surprised me!
    • I was expecting a run-of-the-mill otome slop story, but what I got was a revenge-plot fuelled by sisterly love
    • Mia is best girl
    • definitely one of the better otome out there







  • Ahhh thank you for taking your time to write a proper review for it!! ;v; The team is very grateful for you feedback!

    We definitely learned a bit about UI design in this one^^ The minigame has that weird issue where the timer seems to run a lot slower in the web version. If you download it, you’ll notice that it’s actually a little more challenging to beat. I’ll have to investigate that 🤔

    Also, I’ve also mentioned it in another comment in a crosspost, but rightclicking should solve the History screen issue (same for the Save screen) It’s a shortcut for showing and hiding game menus!

    Also, yes that surprise moment in the good ending is very much intended to have that effect, hehe 🤭

    we discussed this over in [email protected] back when it was initially announced! The fandom seems to be delighted about this feature, but I’m personally more concerned about the data privacy aspect of it all…the author is absolutely right to look at this whole thing with scepticism

    I find it a little far-fetched to solely link the popularity of otome games to some kind of frustration with modern dating, though. Romance games (and romance in games, e.g. Baldur’s Gate 3 or Mass Effect) offer a lot of fun in-and-of themselves.
