Want more stories

iTeachELD

The story line it’s good. I see that this otome game it’s taking its time to reveal what will happens to the heroine and her chosen guys which makes it different from other games. However, I want more games! It’s been a year since the last update so I wonder if there will be more otherwise I would feel I un satisfied and regret having purchased the game because it’s addicting. The storyline, the illustrations, the music, and everything goes beyond amazing and splendid. Well done!

The point buying system threw ads is ridiculous

Honestly, unless you want to spend your time watching ads to even play the even second episode, Don’t play this game.

Great! ❤️

Alright, I was reading through several reviews and have noticed that people are saying the heroine, Cloé, is weak. However, I would like to argue otherwise—yes, she is naïve, and yes, she is stupid and clumsy. But it’s because of that that she is able to be so honest and pure, which is definitely a trait that’s prominent especially with Ray and Natsume. Plus, you have to take her background into account: she’s never had access to education, and she has never been allowed outside (this will be explored especially in Nagi’s route)—she was completely isolated for a good and rational reason. Alright, now, the story. The story is good and better than it may initially seem. On the surface, it’s about a girl named Cloé who suddenly receives an acceptance letter to a prestigious school and finds love there. However, the game explores themes other than love that are more serious or dark: jealousy, insecurity, discrimination by race, society, beauty. All of that are explored here, and when you mix it with love and cuteness, you have a great, engaging storyline that makes you want to read more. Plus, things you initially don’t know about Cloé’s background is covered nicely in Nagi’s route, so there are very little holes in regards to Cloé. In the character routes, I was genuinely surprised. First, you have Shiba, who loves to help other people out though he may be somewhat of an idiot himself sometimes. He is dealing with humiliation and insecurities, in short. Second, there’s Nagi, who I thought I would find boring because of all that “good student, prince-like” vibe, which isn’t usually my type, but then his route hit the feels right in me—meaning I cried in his route, though it’s not because of Nagi or Cloé necessarily, but like I said, Nagi’s route reveals the most about Cloé, and so many things from her past are explained there. Third, there’s Ray. I usually love vampires, but prideful or arrogant characters don’t normally appeal to me, so I wasn’t looking forward to him and was prepared to force myself to read through it. Yeah, no. Quite the opposite of what I thought, I really liked it: Ray is very cute in his own way, and sometimes the way Ray and Cloé interact make you smile because of how much their characters just clash. Plus, this route deals with beauty and insecurities that come with it. It’s a topic that I find may be relatable with girls—especially adolescent ones like myself, so I found Cloé most relatable in Ray’s route. And finally, Natsume. Oh, boy, Natsume. I was shocked in his route. He’s a rather complicated character despite his laziness and deliberate attempts to not get involved in anything, but he’s just not as easy to pin down. Despite his personality, he’s bottled up a lot of pain and hate inside of him, but this in turn makes him quite a dark character. However, despite his darkish character, I can’t hate him, even if I wanted to, I just can’t. He’s just too sweet and deserves all the love he can get. Also, the art is pure beauty. I have only read the first season, the ROMANCE part, so far, but the CG artwork is simply beautiful. As a whole on my favorite ROMANCE part CG set, I would personally rank it: Shiba (“best”) > Nagi > Natsume > Ray (“good”). The music was catchy too. I sometimes replay scenes just to listen to the music, admittedly, hahaha. Also, the gameplay is something you shouldn’t worry about—it’s simple and straightforward. I also like the points or pay system. With this, it’s completely possible to play the entire game for free (you get 35 points each day, and you can pay 40 points per episode), but you have the option of paying real money for character routes (getting access to all episodes at once), with $4.99 per character route, or paying for all of them with a nice discounted price of $12.99 (you save $4.99 x 4 = $19.96 – $12.99 = $6.97, which is a $6.97/$19.96 = 35% discount; that’s pretty darn good). The grammar could use some work, but it’s not so bad that you won’t know what they’re saying or thinking. It’s something you can easily overlook unless you’re a grammar nazi. However, the grammar shouldn’t be the one thing that stops you—the story is honestly great and outweighs the small grammar errors they make. I just wish they made one more route or two... that mummy, Robin, is my favorite side character, and I think he deserves more spotlight than he gets in the game, hahaha.

Love it!

This game is perfect I have two suggestions please listen to them! 1. New characters like male ones for our character to fall in love with! 2. We should be able to edit our character for free at first! Thx for reading mine!! ???

Good game

Otomeslut

Suggest downloading this only:1) If u got time to get free points 2) Willing to pay for the routes if ur impatient.(Atm it's cheap: $4x or get the bundle for all: $13.99. Not bad at all) Within 2 days, I was able to farm 400+points by watching ads, taking surveys, and downloading & running apps. Sometimes reading random articles gives fairly good amount of points. Wasn't that bad & some don't work so keep that in mind, but it was worth it in the end. Only wished watching ads gives more points. Was able to finish 1 route (w/o paying real money) I like that there's no Love Challenge or pretty up ur avatar b.s. Each chapter is fairly long which is nice. Art is really nice. Story is also, somewhat nicely developed. Some routes pulls you into the story which is really nice. Mc falls in love too quickly as usual. Overall it's a nice decent game. For once, ur not human in the game which is refreshing. Please fill out their questionnaire & let them know we want Dr. Robin's route or any new route in general lol

I NEED MORE!!! Nagi!!! ????? pls, his face is so cute!!!

Absolutely wonderful

Calciferrrr

This is probably one of my favorite otome games. The scenes are so beautiful, they ACTUALLY show the MC’s entire face, the routes capture you and everyone is so diverse. You don’t have to wait for ticket times to be able to read a chapter and it is all around absolutely amazing.

Pretty good

?pandalisa?

Ok so I’m a fan of otome game myself, but I also don’t have the patience for waiting to get more tickets or whatever it is that is used for reading the next chapter/episode. I don’t mind that I can watch videos to get more passes or whatever’s. That being said, I think you should make the points to read the next chapter less because 40 just seems too much or make each video like 5 points rather than 1 point because if I have to watch 40 videos just so I can read the next chapter, then what’s the whole point? And there doesn’t seem to any explanation on how long I must wait before the points are all full. Aside from that, I like the story line for this game. I’ve played it before but I deleted it and couldn’t remember the name and I’ve been thinking about this game for a while.

Meh

The idea was great and pretty unique. Some problems I faced is spelling errors and the endings. There were SO many spelling errors and I understand the company is not an American or English company, but if they make a game in English, the translation should be easy to read. Another issue I faced was the endings felt very unsatisfactory. An ending should close up a story and with a good ending, it should feel satisfying. I felt at the end like a piece of coal because of the very big possibility that your character will be sad and ugly in a few hundred years although I understand it would be difficult with how they imagined monsters would work. I do really actually like the idea and I believe it was quite creative with also some beautiful characters!

OBSESSSED! New Characters?

This game has an Iconic 4 characters. Nagi, Ray, Shiba, and Natsume. But i was thinking, since I have almost finished up them all, what if we had new characters? More male characters for the Reader’s Interest and get us more information on other Ranks that we may not have heard about. Though we have heard of the Devil character (portrayed by Erica) but what if there were a Male Devil? Maybe Someone Quirky and Loud but with a darker past or Is actually like deeply hurt and the player helps that. Or maybe some other male character of a Race we havent heard of? Also i had an Idea, since Olivia seems to be an enemy (at least at the begging, still playing through to learn..) what if in the Lovers part of some playthroughs there is an opponent (like a Medusa or something) to shake it up and Pull at the readers heart strings. Id love to meet and Get to Know new characters and maybe get a new Favourite character.
