So, it makes me a bit sad to say that I wouldn't recommend this game, but I feel like I have to. Because of the price. I got this game on sale, but I still paid about $23 for it, which is too much. If this game were closer to $5-$10 I could recommend it. Let me explain: First off, there are SO many typos. This is something I can personally look past for the most part (and sometimes it results in funny things to share with the group chat) but there were times where it would have the wrong character's name in a sentence like "X went back to [location] and X went back to [different location]." where it's clear it was supposed to be "X went back to [location and Y went back to [different location]." Some lines are even duplicated when you click to progress and it's just the same line again. These things by themselves aren't a big deal, and wouldn't get me to not recommend the game. Sure, it makes the game feel unpolished and rushed, which is annoying to see on a $30 game (especially when there are FREE games out there that are significantly more polished). But okay, I can deal with that. IF it was only that. But it's not. Of course. Let's talk about character & routes. Unfortunately if you're expecting developed routes for each of the love interests, you will be wildly disappointed. 95% of the game is just the general route, with only about 3 scenes (plus 2 other brief scene and the short ending scene) determined by the love interest you've chosen. That's...it. Maybe I'm forgetting a short scene somewhere, but I felt like it was really lacking. It also feels like outside of choices that lead to those few scenes, your choices don't matter AT ALL. You're just influencing the way the main character thinks, so there is no change to dialogue responses. There is also a "Cheat" mechanic in the game where for every choice, you can click a button and it shows you who the response will add points to. I like that it's optional, but I personally prefer if a game is going to have a feature like that, it's available AFTER you've beaten the game once. Not a big deal, but I think it's worth mentioning. However, many of the choices are painfully obvious anyway, when it's literally just "I want to see X". It's at that point where if you hadn't noticed before, you really notice that this game is (I hate to say it) lazy. The choices you make as the player have such little influence on the story it's almost comical. On my first run, I thought my chosen love interest had an actual influence on the story, but on my second run I realized that couldn't be further from the truth. Let's not forget that there are a grand total of (by every indication) 4 endings! One for each love interest, and a general ending. That's it. So I guess good news if you don't like bad endings, there literally aren't any! For me, however, this was just another disappointment. Where's the satisfaction in succeeding if you literally can't fail? The characters themselves aren't bad, but they're very static. I expected more growth and development, particularly in those whose route I was pursuing. But that would have required that the game be more than a dolled-up general route. The characters you meet at the beginning are who they are throughout the story. None of the usual "unapproachable character slowly softens and learns to express their feelings" or anything. The only character who goes through any growth is the "villain". For anyone else it's just crammed into that final ending bit and that's it. Also, for those wondering about any "mature content"...there isn't any. Nope. None. No blood, no sex, no anything. If anything in the realm of blood is mentioned, it's not shown. The dialogue talks a LOT about the novel they're in being 19+ R-rated, but if they didn't literally tell you, there would be no way of guessing. Which is fine! But that's usually the sort of thing you want to be clear on going in to a game, especially when they have the world's vaguest "Mature Content Warning" on the store page. Now, take all of that, and slap on perhaps the worst UI I've seen on a VN. I may just be hyper-critical, but WOW the UI alone made me consider putting the game down. Any of the shortcuts you've picked up that are common in most VNs? Forget about it. Sure you can use L to access the backlog, but that's...it? Spacebar hides the UI, Enter progresses dialogue, that's all good. But there is no shortcut to access save/load, and you can't use right-click on mouse to back out of things. On top of that, the UI is HUGE which makes it incredibly obtrusive. Overall, I cannot in good conscience recommend this game, particularly for the price it's at. It consistently comes across as unpolished and lazy, the characters while good can be pretty darn annoying by the end, and the sheer lack of content in terms of routes and endings (or even CGs!) just leave me dissatisfied. I was really excited going into this game, and the art is beautiful, but once the initial charm wears off, there's very little left to like.
솔직히 많이 별로에요 연출도 슬플 정도지만 가장 눈물나는건 스토리입니다. 갈등 -> 해결 -> 이벤트씬 같은 식으로 흘러가는게 아니고 대화를 빙자한 말싸움 -> 말싸움 -> 또 말싸움 -> 해결 -> 말싸움 -> 말싸움 으로만 구성되어있어요. 그 말싸움의 내용이 재미있거나 어느정도 납득이 됐다면 그냥 드라마같은 느낌으로 볼 수도 있었겠는데... 대부분의 텍스트가 꼭 필요한건지 의구심이 드는 정도에요. 굳이 억지로 잡아늘린 대사와 묘사의 덩어리들이 끊임없이 끊임없이 계속 나오는데 그렇게까지 감상할만한 필력의 글도 아니라서 지루함을 넘어 피곤함을 주는 정도. 매 에피소드마다 이벤트씬이 있는 것도 아니라서 그냥 서로 말만 하다 끝나는 일도 부지기수. 그 암담한 스토리에서 개인적으로 가장 좋았던 장면을 꼽으라면... 뒤집어쓴 오크의 피를 씻으러 가자고 하더니만 암전하고 나서 트롤이랑 싸우는 다음날로 넘어가는 부분이 가장 이해할 수 없어서 좋았습니다. 등장인물들이 똑같은 특수효과를 번쩍거리며 '아무튼 상대를 처치했고 남주는 그걸 보며 감탄한다' 를 두 번 연속으로 보여줄줄이야? 그 이후로는 진짜 일말의 관심조차 떨어져서 대부분 스킵했어요. 반지의 제왕을 만들고 싶었던건가요? 몬스터랑 싸우고 몬스터랑 싸우고 지들끼리 말싸움하고 지들끼리 말싸움하고 몬스터잡고 말싸움하고 말싸움하고 몬스터잡고 몬스터잡아서밥먹고 말싸움하고 말싸움하고 몬스터잡고 말싸움하고 몬스터잡아서밥먹고 한두번만 나와도 유저들은 다 알아들을 수 있는데, 똑같은 말싸움 똑같은 전투씬을 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 계속 보여줘요 대체 왜? 정말 글을 너무너무 잘써서 계속봐도 재미있는게 아니고서야 정말 글을 너무너무 잘써서 계속봐도 재미있는게 아니고서야 정말 글을 너무너무 잘써서 계속봐도 재미있는게 아니고서야 정말 글을 너무너무 잘써서 계속봐도 재미있는게 아니고서야 정말 글을 너무너무 잘써서 계속봐도 재미있는게 아니고서야 이벤트 CG들의 퀄리티 차이는 '그럴 수 있다' 고 넘어갈 수 있어도 다른 부분에서의 부족함을 메꾸기 위해 억지로 같은 내용을 몇 번이고 반복하는건 너무 불쾌해요. 억지로 같은 내용을 몇 번이고 반복하는건 너무 불쾌해요. 억지로 같은 내용을 다른 내용인척 몇 번이고 반복하는건 너무 불쾌해요. 억지로 같은 내용을 몇 번이고 반복하는건 너무 불쾌해요. 억지로 같은 내용을 수 회나 반복하는건 정말 즐겁지 못한 경험이었어요. 그리고 병아리 목소리 엄청 듣기 싫은데 끌 수 없는것도 싫었어요. 캐릭터가 이쁘고 내용이 길다는 이유로 좋은 게임이라면 저도 이쁜 오타쿠사진에 긴 내용의 리뷰를 작성했으니까 좋은 리뷰어죠? 이 게임을 본받아 특수효과도 넣겠습니다 [h1] 이 게임은 정말 나빴습니다 [/h1] [i] 프랑이 둘을 서포트했다고 하는 똑같은 내용들 [/i] [b] 대충 등장인물끼리 별거아닌걸로 계속 말싸움하는 장면 70회 [/b] [u] 혹시 드라마처럼 매주 한 에피소드나 두 에피소드씩 깨게끔 디자인된 게임인데 제가 잘못 플레이한건가요? [/u] [spoiler] 어쩌라고요 [/spoiler] 아 맞다 프롤로그부터 등장인물의 사연하고 성격하고 앞으로 나올 내용을 다 까버리는것도 되게 의미불명이었어요 혹시 원수한테 첨삭을 맡기기라도 했나요?
Wow!! I loved this so much!! It was super cute and funny, very lighthearted. The english translations? Not so great, but I felt like that didn't take away from this game at all. I 100% recommend getting and playing this Isekai BL. Summary: You play as Taeran, a young adult whose also a popular light novel author. He attends college, furthering his writing skills, and has already made a name for himself, via publishing some light novels. He has a best friend named Mina, and a rival/frenemy (which becomes the enemies to lovers trope) RO named Seho. Taeran and Seho argue like cats and dogs so to speak. And unfortunately (or fortunately) one day they are both Isekaid into one of Taeran's 18+ light novels and have to play to their roles, or possibly lose the ability to go back to their original world!? Along with their memories!!!!? Guess things are about to get spicey ;) ~ Game Facts: -23hrs game play for me personally -3 ROs (Seho (obsessive top prince), Fran (Yandere priest), Kairan (Happy/puppy like dragon) -No NSFW, but some suggestive hints at the MC having sex once with each RO on their route -Kiss CGs/scenes all around -VA -Super cute, funny, and it's an Isekai story (very rare for English BL games) so why not? -Cute CGs and even BGs (altho BGs were more simple) -This game came from mobile, so it was ported over -Animations for battle scenes/sprites here or there -SUPER EASY game play, no need for a guide because the in game hints tell you which choices to which RO! I didn't really feel like there were triggers, but maybe these? Also, this wraps things up, and I hope you guys like this game as much as I do!! [spoiler] -Snatched Kisses -Someone said a lighthearted 'no' in an intimate setting, but then both parties kept going -battle fantasy textual violence -cannibalism?????? up coming IN GAME SPOILER for explanation of this one (yes, maybe? IDK, but be aware there is a scene where they kill a dragon, and eat him during their journey, because they eat the monsters that they kill and one of the MCs ROs is a dragon himself...SO yeah) -toxic traits by yandere Fran -attempted murder/poisoning by Fran to Seho at times[spoiler]
재미없습니다.... ui도 구리고 스토리도 구리고 캐릭터는 매력이 없습니다 일러 하나만 보고 하기엔 정말 무척 많이 재미가 없습니다 텍스트량이 많다고 하기엔 매우 적으나 스킵하기엔 은근 많아서 노 스킵 기준 2-3시간 올스킵 기준 2-30분 걸려서 저는 도중부터 아무생각없이 마우스 휠을 내리는 기계가 되었습니다 여러분도 기계가 되지 않게 조심하세요
후원하여 플레이 하게 되었습니다. 게임 내 캐릭터와 유아이 등 너무 귀엽고 예뻐요!! PC 판이 모바일보다 가격이 나가는 이유에 대하여 설명을 안해놓으셨네요... 모바일의 유료 컨텐츠를 PC판은 모두 이용할 수 있어서 비싼 것 같아요. 이 게임은 정말~ 설명이 부족해요... 게임 이용 설명이 부족하니 제가;;; 설명하게 되네요... 하지만 갓캐 카이란이 너무너무 귀여워요!!! 진짜 귀여운데 게임에 대한 설명이 부족한 부분이 참 아쉽습니다. 이런 부분이 개선 되면 정말 좋겠어요... 하지만 게임 스토리와 각각 아이들의 매력이 뛰어나서 이 부분을 이해하신다면 재밌게 플레이 하실 수 있을 것 같아요. 개선 가능성도 염두해 두고 추천합니다!!
The story and characters are interesting and cute! really love the story and all the character so far!! there's some english translation error and few bugs but it didn't ruin the game entirely. eventho base on the game quality is a little bit pricey...but it still fun and worth to play however, as a long time visual novel player, feels like the game can be improve much more further compare to other visual novel game, the story ending and character development might need more adjustment hope maybe in the future can see more improvement and updates! and wish Lucias can have his own route in the game as well.....! maybe a dlc for more about the characters! after all, the story is really interesting and funny! really recommend to try, and hope there will be more update about the game.
실제 플레이 시간은 앱과 합쳐서 6시간 정도입니다. 아직 전부 클리어하기 전이지만 지금까지의 평을 적어봅니다. 스포되는 부분은 가렸습니다.

没有中文就算了,但是堪比3A大作的价格竟然连全语音都不是。
This game have no DRM!!! The world need games without DRM,yes,this is very important for all players!! 170cny(about 24 dollar)is very worth it! I like this game! I will pay another 24 dollar on other platform to support this creator! And my game time are not my actually game time because it is DRM free,I copy this game on another hard disk to play.
후원해서 받은 휴먼입니다 :3 갓캐들의 갓관으로 제 머리가 띵해지게 해주는 게임이라고 생각합니다 근데 세이브 파일이 좀더 있었으면 좋겠다. 랑 선택지에서 세이브도 가능했으면 좋겠습니다!
