Forbidden Romance:Pub Encounter Reviews

Unexpected but Amazing

Misselainejoy

I downloaded this app on a whim, wanting a break from the standard Otome games with much younger guys, and for curiosity, but I never expected how easily hooked I would get. It is pay to play, where you need to buy the whole story to read it, but it’s honestly worth it. All the characters have depth and drama (definitely the latter) and the love scenes are quite spicy...definitely more mature than all the games I’ve played. I do warn that Mamoru’s route can be seen as problematic due to his “seduction” style and personality, but it is the steamiest out of the 5 characters. There are some grammatical errors but despite that, I recommend this if you want a romance with an older (sometimes WAY older) guy.

These stories are amazing

The men are amazing, the stories are amazing. I can’t help but love these. Older mature men who are less problematic than any other otome game. Plus the stories are filled with drama. But it’s the stories, not the men that are dramatic. It’s nice and fresh for lovers of mature men.

I like it but...

I was able to go through the prologue and the first free main chapter however when I wanted to purchase the rest of the main story it was unable to make the purchase );

Different but not bad

It's a bit different because it's usually young guys but it's kinda cool. I'm curious about what will happen with the bar owner though. He's super old!

I was honestly not expecting D3P to release this game in English (due to the fact that the guys are much older than most depicted in English otome games) but I am SO happy they did! After seeing a few CGs floating around Tumblr I was hoping it would get translated. As a gal who is hitting their mid-twenties, I have become slightly bored with the high school/college fare we've mostly been getting these days when it comes to otome games in English. That's not to say that I am not grateful for it, as I am grateful for any English translated games, but I have been craving more... variety. Lately, with the trend of younger guys being released all at once, it's nice to see an entire cast of older men. The men in this particular game range from 41 to 60 (not implicitly stated on their profiles, but is mentioned in-game), while the MC seems to be in her mid twenties to early thirties (her age is never confirmed as far as I have seen). Clearly, this game is not meant to appeal to everyone. However, the nice thing is that from the two characters that have been released so far, the age gap is not overtly played upon. There is a mention here and there, but it is never depicted as bizarre or seen as a major obstacle. The romance seems to flow naturally, which is quite nice. The main routes are, however, only 8 chapters in length (not including the end, either Super Happy or Happy), which is quite short compared to D3P's other games. Since the price is still $3.99 that might seem expensive to some, but I honestly don't see a problem. The stories have a good flow, and there is variety in the plots. The romance doesn't really seem as if it's coming out of left field or that it is rushed. The CGs are really nice, and quite steamy, if you catch my drift. ;) Basically, I think it's fair price to pay. If you're into the 'older' types, or are seeking something different, I think this is a game to try. If anything, do try reading the free chapter that accompanies each guy. I think it is worth at least a quick read.

Been waiting for this

So excited

If I were to start with the compliments, this review would be a book. What like the most are the older men, the mix of comedy, action, drama, and sex. Your games are great for more mature gamers. Please keep up the great work. Please give us more games????❤️???
