(Spoilers down below!)




I played more of Ukyo's route until my Vita's battery went in the red zone. It's pretty good so far. I'm at least halfway through now, but there hasn't been any kissing or anything, the only thing that's happened is that Ukyo's confessed his love.

I'm just gonna spill my thoughts on it randomly here.

One thing I've noticed is that Mine's name sometimes gets spelt as "MIne". This has happened multiple times. It even happened with Rika's name being spelt as "RIka". Maybe the writer kept clicking on his caps lock button too late? Aksys Games always have these weird typos in their products. You would've thought that they'd get someone to proofread their work. EDIT MADE MANY, MANY MONTHS LATER: I found out long after writing this that Aksys didn't actually localise this, it was Idea Factory themselves. Oops, ignore that information error.

Speaking of Rika, it's strange seeing her actually act nice towards the MC here. I am so annoyed with Ikki's stupid fan club. They seem to be problematic in almost every route. It's weird because now I know of two otome game antagonists called Rika. I think this one isn't as bad as Mystic Messenger's one though.

This is the only route where the MC doesn't start off with a boyfriend at the beginning of August. It's gonna be hard for the MC to get into a romantic relationship with Ukyo because he's one of those love interests where they love the MC but push her away at the same time.


I actually think Ukyo is a spirit or has a spirit in him or something. Maybe he'll find out about Orion later?? He doesn't know anything about the amnesia yet, but I predict that he actually secretly knows about it. It reminds me, I'm pretty sure that in Ikki's route, he never actually found out about MC's amnesia. Or maybe he did, I can't remember!

Uh, what other opinions did I have on this route?? I can't remember. I haven't even completed it yet.


I dunno if I'm gonna go back and get the bad endings afterwards. You get an achievement for it, so maybe I will at a later date after I've done Sweet Fuse, and C:R: Future Blessings, which I will be getting very soon! I have already gotten some of the bad endings. To be honest, I'm not really interested in them unless they're really long or if they have CGs. Apparently Toma has a CG with one of his bad endings, so I might get that.

Also, after I've done all of these games in my backlog, I'm thinking about buying the first PSP Diabolik Lovers game (my Japanese isn't that good but I have fan translations!) and Collar X Malice. I really wanna play Collar X Malice because the artwork looks so nice! I heard it's by the same person who did Amnesia. Also, I'm super interested in the love interests. Whenever I'm purchasing/downloading otome games, I always look at the LIs first because they're the reason I play these games. I know people play it for the plot but I play it for the romance and character interactions.

If I get a PSP game it'll feel weird going back to that. I still love my PSP but I haven't touched it much since my Vita joined the gang. It's a lot smaller and it's harder playing it in public because of the loud disc drive, but I might as well use it since I only just bought a battery for it last year, plus there are no region locks, like the Vita, so I can play all of the older Japan-exclusive otome titles that'll be way cheaper than the Vita ones!

I hope at least a few more otome games get released for the Vita, even though the Switch is the new home for them. We did get London Detective Mysteria very recently, so maybe there's still hope? I don't really mind if they're digital since I have my memory card now. It's a shame that they've stopped producing both the cartridges and consoles now. I wonder if Sony will ever enter the handheld market again? I hope they do. Handhelds are my favourite types of consoles, since they're more personal and private and you can take them anywhere. My first handheld was actually the DSi XL and the battery is still really good on it almost nine years later.


That's enough rambling for me today. Hopefully I'll finish Ukyo's route tomorrow. I've charged my Vita up ready. Then I'll be able to start on Sweet Fuse. I am excited for that, but it's a shame that I won't be able to use the touch screen with it. Goodbye!
