[I] All Idleness and Ephemera [/i] is another ebi-hime's novel about my cute cousins Yuel and Tavi. Awww I still can't believe that! I mean I encountered her stories, fell in love with her writing, enlarged my vocabulary greatly buut they were mainly yuri novels, something saying mildly I'm not a fan. Then I found devastating, tragic stories I kept thinking about a lot during and after reading. But then suddenly it's otome, then my fav yaoi and...so explicit it can be called porn. And this all by one person keeping the same superb level of writing. It feels like some kind of unbelievable gift I didn't know I deserved xD https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3169479933 I mean some minutes ago I was scrolling through lots of negative reviews by the writer I dislike because of her childish writing (thanks god finally I see lots of similar criticism) buut you know, it's gay porn and I feel like still buying her novels, just to enjoy the art and write a neutral review with a thumb down because I want to enjoy not only some lewd pictures but the story as well! Though then I start thinking having read looots of them what possibly new description, immersion do I even expect to find?! XD But here it's different! So it can be achieved! You can read through looots of sex scenes and feel not only turned on but worry and sympathy for all that pain they had to suffer through, hope that together they can overcome any obstacles, watch how they grow closer and finally open up letting themselves to love and be loved. That journey is something exciting and totally unique. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3170917498 Simultaneously I'm reading the series of otome novels with loots of hints about chars' intimacy but the focus of the plot is...on other things. Here it's on the contrary! All that life is briefly mentioned, but we see the chars' development through sex XD And still it doesn't feel like some empty, shallow porn pleasure reading. Their banter, their interaction, their relationship that finally saved them both is amazingly written! You know, after all these years when I finished uni and stopped reading anything serious, I recently thought that I devote too much time to English: reading in it, watching in it, speaking mainly it. So, to refresh my native language I bought Dostoevsky's book, the one he called his final masterpiece, the one I tried but failed to read as a student. And oohh my, it has too many complicated characters to be honest, with my poor memory of names it's difficult to keep track of all of them but he is really a master of 'human soul description' as he is called, all those subtle emotions, motives, it's such a pleasure just to read how people interact. I actually felt proud again that we have the same native language, otherwise I'd never experience this utter pleasure. I mean I don't need any action, surprising plot-twists, just show me REAL people, real feelings, make it immersive. That's already more than great! And here I got that too, plus sex XD https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3171182799 [u] Praises[/u]: +lewd, hot, mainly sex story. +great writing +awesome character development +lovely art +achievements +enough save slots \o/ +name scenes +opening video +price. Recently novels have become so much more expensive :( but ebi-hime's novels aren't very pricey. I'd willingly pay more. [u] Complaints[/u]: --short (I mean again I felt sad having read in notes how looots of the initial text was cut off, I get it, it's how writing and editing is buuut...:( forgive me for being greedy here. --typos --again different chars' design XD I got used to it quickly of course but still...

(I proofread this VN and thus the time @ review time does not reflect how long it actually takes to go through the game! It took me about 6 hours to read.) This game more than anything else is very comforting. Yuel and Tavi are both pretty messed-up guys, but they understand that about each other and support each other regardless. It's sweet and satisfying to watch their physical intimacy give way to emotional intimacy as their trust for one another grows. I played the majority of this game (probably about 5 hours or so) despite the fact that I needed to sleep for work the next day lmao that's how much I enjoyed it. Music is also really really excellent (I'm obsessed w the opening video) and the art is quite nice as well. Definitely recommend this if you're into r18 BL stuff, and even if you're not but willing to give something different a chance.
I was here from "To Have and to Hold"... Since, I am not allowed anywhere near dark stuff... This is why I am glad alternative universes exist. Reading this, I got more acquainted and used to the cousins. Tavi has great hair and body. Yuel is Yuel. That opening song is epic and fun to rock out to! Otherwise... It was an interesting read... Which took me longer because I had to look up certain words... Now I expanded my vocabulary by one or two words... XD CGs are fun too. Put me down for liking everything. Great learning experience too. THANK YA!!! :3 :) =) -------------- Although I've read the game (and will do so again in the future), I continuously come back day after day (almost) to listen to the soundtrack "No Need To Curtsy" (Vocal). Not only the singers have really nice voices, they sound like they are having fun and smiling... One of them even sounds like Pegasus from Yu-gi-oh lol... The one who says "Hold tight now on to me... Come now, there is no need to curtsy..." AHHHHHH! WHY did there have to be such a great sounding soundtrack?! "Together we can take on anything..." Sigh...
More Tavi/Yuel goodness is always good~
Numbers numbers I love you Ebi please continue making games!!

So this is where it started, Yuel and Tavi. I can't believe I played the games in reverse. Basically this game takes place in an One Thousand & One Nights setting in which Yuel is the heir to the kingdom after his all-powerful father dies. Yuel has a hard time processing it because of all the pressure and expectations placed on him. It is Tavi who is able to comfort him as well as deepen their relationship beyond family. I'd say I enjoy Yuel and Tavi's dynamic though in this one, Tavi is more of the aggressor while Yuel is still very tsundere. The adult CG is also nice to reward you for the slow burn. Anyway, I recommend!
Just finished the game, I honestly surprise with how well done the story is, their conversation exchange is like a therapy session. I'm emotionally invested with all their childhood trauma, I'm happy they find each other in the end, they're so cute. The arts and skinship scenes are also beautiful. I suggest for other BL fans to give this one a chance, even if you might find it off putting at first (because they're cousin), but believe me it will get better and you might realize that they are two lonely souls that mean to be together. For better experience, do read All Ashes and Illusions first, at least until Yuel become a King, to get a feel of his character and his childhood moments with Tavi. And do read the extra notes from the author after you finish this game, it's pretty entertaining info. Now I will read their others spin off story! Thank you for this great game.
say gex
This was the first game from Ebi-hime I've played featuring her characters Tavi, and Yuel. I was really charmed at the aesthetic, and the way the characters and settings were drawn, and the story was definitely in my taste, pleasing CGs and some hot scenes to screencap. If you don't mind [spoiler] incest between of-age cousins, [/spoiler] then this game could prove wondrous for you as it proved for me, As of writing this I'm actually playing "To Have and to Hold"━━my now second game featuring the pair. I love these two guys so much, might even cosplay Tavi (he's more my type lol.)
