This is not a proper post or anything. I feel like reading some of my older posts even though whenever I read them I have to correct a lot of accidental errors (I don't edit because it's embarrassing reading my stuff), but it's really fun to see what my opinions were on certain games and that at the beginning and how they changed.
It's funny, I started this blog just to randomly ramble on about stuff, but then I started playing Hakuoki and Mystic Messenger and writing about it. At first, if you look at my original posts on Hakuoki, I'd just lightly touch on the plot but not really talk about things at all (I think I was scared of getting details wrong) and I'm pretty sure I spelt Shinsengumi wrong each time! Then I got my Vita and started playing Code: Realize and I still didn't really talk much about the plot, but then when I started Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly (still probably my favourite game) I went a bit deeper in, and then eventually a few games later, I was almost into proper review territory. Now I try to make at least one post fully discussing a route, one on my initial opinions on a game and then sometimes I final opinion post. It's nice looking at how my writing and my plot analysis skills have gotten better over these past few months.
I think I might write proper posts on Hakuoki if I get the new remastered Vita games. I am playing the fan-disc next but it's all in Japanese so I dunno how much I'll be able to say about it since I'm having trouble finding a complete English summary (nobody translated the fan-disc because it got incorporated into localised versions of the original game anyway).
I keep thinking that the current theme of this blog might look like an absolute eyesore to outside viewers with the white text, bright colours and moving background, but I like it so I just keep it anyway. Just so you all know, I understand if this blog is unreadable because of the theme. I'm still not gonna change it yet though, sorry. (I now realise that this has become more of a blog for myself rather than anybody else, sometimes I've even considered making it private)
Even though nobody reads this blog, I've got to say that I've had a blast writing about my otome journey these past few months. It's probably helped my writing skills quite a bit, and it's just nice to have something like a diary to pour my thoughts into. It's funny, when I started this blog in 2017, I used this tag on my posts that said "this blog is probably gonna die anyway" and look where we are now, in 2019! I don't think this blog is dying anytime soon, unless Blogger gets killed by Google (which I am scared of because they just culled Google +), but then I'll just move to Wordpress so everything will be fine again.
If you're reading this, thank you. :) Even if you dislike my blog and want it deleted forever, it's nice to know that someone, somewhere, read this post.
Goodnight and goodbye!
EDIT: I'm just reading this post and it's hilarious. It's like looking at a younger version of myself even though the post was only made last year. Just the title of the post alone is funny really.
