Guess what I'm reading now! Hint: it deals with ninjas Hint2: it's an otome Hint3: It's Nightshade / Hyakka Hyakurou Sengoku Ninpou-chou It's actually fascinating how many otomes are getting localized in the west... I've read some big otome titles like Code;Realize and CollarxMalice and they've always excelled at having a mature, interesting story with high stakes and Nightshade looks to be another contender You play as female protagonist (first) Enju Ueno, a 16 year old shinobi who is the symbol of peace between two once long-feuding-but-are-now-united shinobi clans, being the daughter of the clan heads. She's the coming-of-age modest, naive, "I'm a princess but please treat me like a normal person" type who's eager to prove her worth, but everyone insists on pampering her: The first tag listed on VNDB is "Life and Death Drama", this oughtta be interesting...

If you ever have trouble finding your current avatar again, rest assured that I can produce another one of equal quality.

Took me a while this year.

Alrighty, one more finished! This time, I finished all the endings left from The Nonary Games. Ending 6 Ending 4 True Ending Overall, it wasn't a bad game, not at all. I mean, I loved discussing it with my peers, especially when it came to the mystery! Paranoia: Deliver Me I started playing this one today and I plan on finishing it this week! First Impressions Positives: The art and the soundtrack is beautiful, as it should be, since the game itself is about music lel The mood can be very spooky and me likey Negatives: The translation is awful and it kinda breaks my immersion and overall enjoyment of the vn... Also, the voice acting isn't that good; I'm not sure if it's because I'm not used to listen to Chinese, but they all sound like they don't care about what they are saying and don't really feel the character they are playing The choices are damn weird, the fuck... How am I supposed to know what to do? And there's no walkthrough available out there [cries] THE SKIP ISN'T WORKING AAAAGH—! Well, this is all I've got for the week!

Because obviously I'm a dumb dumb and that was a silly assumption to make. Everyone who read the VN already and then that comment of mine was probably like LOL Finished Raging Loops. Overall enjoyable. Here's the fav bgm: Honestly most of my enjoyment from this VN came from the Feasts, and that's mainly from my personal bias of loving group-battle-of-wits-discussion type scenarios ala Danganronpa. The endgame reveals were unfortunately kind of a big yawn. Waaaay too much last minute background history infodumping and kanji reordering wordplay reveals when you just wanna get the show over with. Getting the final 5 keys was about as tedious as Link having to fetch all of the Triforce shards in Windwaker. And it doesn't even ultimately end in with a big bang, just a matter of fact kind of resolution. Anticlimatic. (SPOILER) Random thoughts to various revelations (SUPER SPOILERS)

Well, if you say so.
