The Ancient Magus' Bride Midsummer Pilgrimage

Is this better than nothing? It comes down to that No voice acting, except for a smattering of random lines unrelated to the text (that you'd get in the side quest portion of an RPG or something) Several months ago, when I found out there would be a magus bride visual novel, I was very excited. If someone asked what is my favorite anime, it would be this one. The lack of voice acting totally killed my excitement after I started the game. But the worst is the obvious AI translation. I ultimately don't care how you do what you do, but the end result matters. And using AI to do a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ translation job is just insulting. For example, when someone first mentions a "snow bug" (雪蟲 yuki mushi), you get a "glossary" pop up, and in that pop up it's translated as "Snow fly". Because it was obviously run through a LLM chatbot without context. I very rarely click on Not Recommended, but this is where I draw the line. In terms of functionality, it's very barebones. You can't properly skip because the game gets stuck loading sprites. You can't advance the text with scrollwheel down or open the log with schrollwheel up, which is basically a standard VN function since at least a decade. The UI feels buggy and unresponsive, not properly following your inputs. (Like hovering over a list and using the mousewheel will cause the UI to attempt to scroll but then get stuck because hovering over an item blocks the list from scrolling.) It's just painful to watch..

原作漫画的十一年老粉，出了之后第一时间购入拼命打完了，来不带剧透说一下真实感受。 说到漫改游戏，而且还是文字小说，我一般都是抱着“有就很好”的态度去玩的，一开始对这个游戏的期待度真的不高。第一天晚上玩到半夜三点，那时候就过了个第一章，第二章只看到一半。当时我给出的评价是，“这个魔嫁游戏做的比我想的好不少。” 全部打完之后现在我要改正一下我的评价，魔嫁游戏不是比我想的好不少，是好太多了。 不知道写这个剧本的是一个人还是一个团队，但是武士道这次找的人，不仅做到了对原作设定的深度尊重，而且做到了剧情设计合理连贯。对于一个有原作漫画基础的文字小说游戏，这两点光是符合其中一点就很难得了，但是这次的故事真的太超出我的预计了。 真的要感叹，写这个游戏剧本的作者到底是去搜罗了跟原作和相关的衍生品多少资料才能写出来这些。里面的设定涉及到了本篇漫画甚至包括学院篇，断片集，作为番外动画的等待繁星，甚至衍生系列的漫画(闪电杰克)和实体漫画附赠的特典小漫画里的设定都有……扣得这么细真的太牛了…… 剧情设定也很了不起，不是那种讨人厌的谜语人，这个“真相”真的有惊艳到我。伏笔真的超级多，有明显的有不明显的，我猜到了一点但是没猜到全貌。知道了真相之后再去看之前的主线和番外故事，真的能发现它们都能前后串起来，好厉害……而且选择的切入点很有意思。 新角色塑造得很到位，老角色也没有ooc。故事是一贯的魔嫁风味，这种相似的灵魂相遇并相互救赎的故事，魔嫁里面有很多，这次的也不会让人腻味。 音乐没有直接套用TV的老版本，所有的音乐都是在原来旋律的基础上重新编曲，哪怕是类似的曲子现在听也是完全不同的风味。 不足之处也有很多。除了PPT一般的演出，没有全语音这些显而易见的缺点外，最难受的恐怕就是那个选项了……不及时存档事后再去翻找补充完成度真的太麻烦了，翻到崩溃。所以看到这条的朋友们请记得一定要在选项处勤存档啊！！另外中间有部分剧情过于拖沓，可能是考虑到文本的丰富度，稍微注了点水…… 最后的结局都很耐人寻味。不过多剧透，请所有玩家们一起耐心地见证他们选择的道路和他们的未来吧。 整体看下来，这是一部很合格的深度粉丝向作品。如果你是原作的狂热老粉会非常感动，玩得很开心。但是要是对此一无所知的路人，请谨慎入手。

会話の中の一言だけなんだけど、チセが「さあ、帰ろう」って言ったときめっちゃ感動した。。自分の居場所なんてどこもないと思ってたチセも、帰ろうって言えるようになった、嬉しい 10.5 まほよめをすきになってからまだ2ヶ月しか経ってないので、ほかのファンのみなさんほどまほよめに詳しくないが、私的にはキャラ崩壊してないし、ストーリーの作り込みもめっちゃ完璧だと思う。思ってたよりずっと良くできて本当に驚いた！

Game has so many translation errors that it's funny. Or maybe it's just me. Anyways I love Mahoyome so I'm not complaining.

No advertising and just dropped out of nowhere. Music is absolute fire. Translation is kinda garbage but being a massive fanboy of this series it doesnt bother me. Give me more I need it.

请做出中文翻译

Foreword: The Ancient Magus' Bride Midsummer Pilgrimage is a surprise release. I found it by accident while looking at the upcoming releases on Steam. I was a big fan of the anime, so, in spite of its price, I decided to give it a shot. Aesthetics: The novel's characters are the same as those from the anime, with two new protagonists, Sol and Letty. The story takes you through the English countryside, London, aerie peaks with dragons, etc. Without spoilers, I found this visual novel heartwarming. The twist was kinda obvious, but the way there was beautiful. This novel, in my opinion, has amazing static art; the backgrounds and character designs were top-notch. The sound completes this atmosphere with picturesque and mystical sound effects and music. The character voices were good. Functionality: The novel reads as intended. No crashes and has all features expected from a visual novel. I do not know Japanese to rate the translation, but there were quite a few weird sentences in English. It did feel kinda short. Enjoyment: I have enjoyed this novel; the endings (2 choice based and one common epilogue) made me shed a tear or two. Conclusion: I found this novel worth it. As a fan of the anime, you can't really go wrong with this. As a regular visual novel fan, I would still recommend it in spite of it being a bit short. I am a bit on the fence with buying it at full price; however, it is a great deal on sale. Other Notes: None at the moment.

I'm going to refund the game right after this. This is so disappointing. Don't buy it. I was so excited to get this game, I was expecting to get something like the Re: Zero novel (The Prophecy of the Throne) which is also here on Steam. But instead what I got is a cash-grab that is trying to exploit the show's popularity. In addition to all the issues reported already by other people (lack of voice acting, AI translations, ...) the game doesn't even f'king allow you to maximize the window or set it to full screen. Which is something unacceptable for a 2025 game. Don't buy this game, get the Re: Zero novel instead if you haven't played it yet: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1277510

まださわりしか読めていないけど、まほよめの学院編に入るまでの雰囲気が好きな人と、アニメの劇伴好きには超おすすめしたい。UIの感じといい音楽といい、細部までまほよめの世界観に浸れる。 アニメで言えば1期と2期の中間の時系列にあたる感じ。 見た感じ結構ボリューム満点なのでゆっくり進めていこうかな〜 やーほんと、まほよめのゲームってだけでテンション上がるよな　製作者に感謝

ありがとうも
