🎮 : playing: Dragon Quest 8 & lads
A bit late but here's a quick doodle for that Frieren meme #art challenge.

For December my gaming goal are:

> Dragon Quest 8 3DS
(I played it before on ps2, this is more a replay but basically feels different since its been more than 15+ years since then. I played mostly visual lately so I'm craving jrpg)

> Love and Deepspace
(replaying the entire story from zero)

+ interesting as in both negative, positive in meaning.

I actually like some dynamics + some LIs were really charming and passionate they gave me butterflies....

Buuuuut yeah some 🚩 was too triggering for me. I even felt sorry MC's VA for voicing some scenes. 😣 some bad ends is very YIKES + (2)

"Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Coupling"🌺 #otome #review

I can't rate but, that doesn't mean I can't say my final thoughts of it.

Maybe I'm expoxing my trash taste for over the top romance lmao but, yeah I enjoyed this despite I didn't love it. There were too many interesting outcomes... (1)

I played Crimson Flower that Divide today. All late afternoon and night to be exact.

it was like slowly turning into a shrimp

I just finished Broken Ties by J. Bree! #books

Book 7 of "Bonds that ties" saga (completed). It's an extra story. A retelling of the events of book 1 BUT, told from the love interests' point of view!

For those that don't know it's an urban fantasy reverse harem. (also my fav of genre fufu 🥰 ) +

It's a mix of entertaining, funny (I'm sorry but, the situation kept going south in was almost comedic for how unreal it was), yet also very scary.

Lots of very relatable scenarious that made me wonder what would I do in those situations y'know. 😅

Anwyas I HIGHLY rec watching this with someone!

Tonight we watched the movie:
Speed (1994)🚍🔥

My partner hit jackpot with this one (he picked it from a rec list)! Y'all IT'S AMAZING. Peak action ✨

It's an action and thriller movie about a policeman trying to stop a rigged bus by an extortionist. If the bus stop or go below 50km/h, it explodes.

Next otome I'll do is Crimson Flower that divides.

Lmao I got this at launch and I kept dropping it. 😅 hopefully this is the last time I pick this up. I already did 3 routes 2 years ago. Because of low interest in replaying them & limited time, I prob won't make a review for this or rate it.

+ Lan's not perfect but i respect she didn't break with all the stuff she went through tbh.

Overall this is a really great otome! It has some opsies but they didn't sabotage my enjoyment! 😌✨

⚠️ * btw this is a biased review!

Subjective and personal, feel free & right to disagree ;) (3/3)

For me the side chara and their dept, connection and influence on the events, LIs and MC, is what pulled me in. Viceversa with main cast tok.

I sound like i dislike MC but, nah. ^^ tbh I'm happy she's not an badass. It wouldn't make sense since the story last a few ingame months... 😅

Battlefield Waltz ⚔️💗 ✨ #otome review

⭐* Why 3.8 in ALT* ⭐

First the pros, bc there wasn't space 😅 : imo this is an otome that gets better the more you play. Initially, it's fine but generic with 2 dimensional characters BUT, the more i played, the more it felt "alive" and well thought. + (1/3)

Recently I've discovered The Smith (pop-rock band) and this lyrics from their song "Heaven knows I'm miserable", *laughs :')* really hits hard.

I wanna stop trying to earn others' approval and suffer/care about people that only aim to hurt me or are simply mean for no reasonable purpose.

+ I'll reduce my time using my phone in general too.

I'm NOT writing this to flex an "I'm not like the other girls" bs.

I'm writing this to inform my moots and others that if don't reply asap etc, it's bc I didn't see the messages. that's all. 😐

I finally did it! My otome tier list 🥰⭐✨

Not sure if one can recognize the images tho ^^" it's prob not clear but, B are games I've loved but left me unsatisfied while A is the same but, I can totally look over that feeling and still replay scenes sometimes. Not sure if it make sense lmao. Also +

Despite I find this route much more interesting and engaging than Abel's route and I love both Lustin and Yuriana, to me Lan (mc) was a bit disappointing while the antagonist was a bit flat. 😅

Overall this was still enjoyable✨ I particularly love the part with Yuriana & Lustin's character. ☺️❤️ (4)
November 16, 2025 at 3:37 PM
+ y'know he has that gentleness to him.

As for the route...
First half was expected tho not disliked since I'm super happy the plotwist of his daily life wasn't the focus of the route. Second half is ✨ GREAT✨ imo. Very unexpected.

Lowk Yuriana stole the show to me haha. 😳💗 (3)
November 16, 2025 at 3:37 PM
Lustin route done!! ⚔️💜

The 2nd Prince of a neighboring country! Easygoing, carefree and quite a flirt however like any flirt LI trope there's more that meets the eye with this LI! ^^

As usual I won't go into details bc i don't wanna spoil, anyways here's my thought of the route. (1)

Post a gaming picture that gives you video game anxiety.

(i feel tingling in my fingers just by looking at this pic... Anyways they're metal slimes from DQ)

+ the lovely friendship (?) between Eniale & Dewiela is so sweet. The irony of their character and the different humans they meet kept things engaging.

It's still ongoing btw. Despite its mainly comedy & adventure, I hope there's a bit of GL too. I just love the chemistry between them. 😅 ⭐
November 15, 2025 at 7:55 PM
+ every page is a feast to the eyes 🥰❤️

The Duo are so funny~ Dewiela is so gorgeous i can't —🙈

The story is not bad either. I LOVE the various setting (Paris, tokyo, etc etc) and the different humans they meet. The story of the later are lovely too while the comedy is a 💯 for me +
November 15, 2025 at 7:55 PM
I started Endevi by Kamome Shirahama! 🔥⭐✨

It's a modern life fantasy #manga about Eniale's & Dewiela's, an angel and a demon, misadventures as they collect human souls all the while being hunted by exorcists!

It's from the same author of Witch Hat Atelier and ngl, the art is beyond superb. ⭐ +
