(I sincerely apologise for the very unfunny title. It just felt like a joke I had to make.)
Hello, everybody!
I seem to be going through this game very quickly. It's only been on my Vita since Saturday and I've already completed two routes!
So, I suppose you all want to know what I thought about Toma's route. Well, maybe at least one of you does.
(Spoilers down below.)
I actually completed it early this morning, so it's not as fresh in my mind anymore. I ended up getting a bad ending and the normal ending before going back and getting the good ending with a walkthrough. For some reason I'm finding it difficult to figure out what to write about it.
Normally, I don't mind yandere characters, but that's only if I think they're hot and if I like them beforehand. Since I didn't really like Toma at the end of Shin's route, it put a bad taste in my mouth that carried over onto his own route.
So, I ended up getting to the bit where Toma puts you in a cage. I was actually expecting it to be a fancy cage, but no, it was a dog cage, without any blankets or nothing. Most of the yanderes I've played so far actually care about the MC's happiness and at least try to make things luxury for her.
It was really suspenseful during the bit when we found our mobile phone and Toma came back and tried to look for it. I was sitting on the edge of my seat hoping that he wouldn't catch me.
I'm trying to remember what else I wanted to say. People have already pointed out all of the weird things about this route so it's hard to come up with anything new to add.
The first bad ending I got was when I ran away from Toma's flat and I ran into Ukyo. I was a bit stupid, I made a choice that involved following him when I knew that it wouldn't lead to anything good. And he took me to a park, putting on a face that was not creepy at all, rambled on about how he's died thousands of times, then he said something that I found interesting.
He said something about him dying hundreds of times for a version of me from another world. I knew from somewhere that his route involved parallel dimensions, so I think that this line has something to do with that. Maybe he has to travel to every different world to protect me in his route? If so, it sounds very exciting. Then he said something about dying in a well, and then he chucked me in the well, and I died.
So I went back to before I made that choice, and tried to make choices that Toma would like, because I really didn't want to get the normal ending on my first try. I even thanked Toma for trapping me in that cage, thinking he'd like that, but no, he just went on about how I shouldn't trust men like him.
But I still ended up getting the normal ending. It all ends when Toma rips off my clothes and is probably about to do something very naughty, when I run outside in my underwear and get rescued by Shin. Toma mysteriously moves away, and everything is happy again, except for some strange reason, I still miss Toma, even though he did all of those horrible things to me.
So I went back to get the good ending, and it's not much better really. It also ends when Toma rips off your clothes. Instead of running away, the game made me say something stupid like "OH TOMA I LOVE YOU" and then you start dating for real. Also, it turns out that the people harassing you were just annoying fangirls from Ikki's Fan Club, because they thought that I was trying to steal their man. I really have no idea why I'd want to date Toma after all of this. He even thinks that himself, saying "You have really bad taste in men.". Why on Earth would I forgive the bloke who stuffed me in a dog cage, drugged me (I'd forgotten about that until now!) and almost raped me???
It's weird, because I'm normally quite forgiving with yandere characters. I was fine with Jumin, and I even enjoyed the bad ending with the pretty CG where he keeps you locked up forever. Even Saeran was a bit of a yandere when Rika's drugs made him lock you up and starve you. I was only forgiving for that one because I already really liked him, and because it wasn't really his fault. But why do I not like Toma that much? Maybe it's because I was never really into him romantically in the first place, and because I disliked him in the last route I played.
I know people really hate this route and everything about Toma, but I just thought it was alright. It's good if you're into that stuff, but for me it was just meh. Not absolutely terrible as some people say it was, but not actually really nice like Shin's route. I dunno. It hasn't changed my opinion on the game though, because I knew what I had signed up for before I purchased it. And the route must be doing something right, because I heard that Toma always wins the popularity polls over in Japan.
But he's old news now, because now I've started Kent's route. I picked it randomly again. Apparently Kent's route is quite good. Right now I'm not very far into it. All I know so far is that Kent is really inexperienced with dating, and that he likes giving out maths problems. Still, he's better than Toma.
I'm really enjoying everything about this game so far. It's a shame I'm progressing through it so quickly...
