[member=18571]SunStarlight[/member]: Wow, you manage to greet 150+ times every day? That's... insanely amazing. I used to greet too, but with around half of your number I barely made it out alive after each day, even if I greeted on 3 phones at the same time to speed up the progress õ_õ I gave up when I reached my first ending. :<

Story status: Kuso 6-4
Current level of suffering: Kuso for the third time
Hope: Common story for the nth time, done!

A lot of SWDs came and went but this game still sticks on my phone doing just fine ^^ It's not too addictive after a long time, but somehow I'm content with playing it, the dilly dally way~

[SunStarlight]

Yeah, I do greet 150+ people :) It sometimes takes an hour when my connection is bad... It's so frustrating sometimes.

I need the zeni to buy passports D: I never have enough passports... ;_;

Ah, Kuso! My very first route! :D He's so cute when he blushes! -u- Might be my favourite route so far!

As you noticed that I was ranked #1 for this app in Game Center, does that mean that you are the player ranked #7 with the name that is suspiciously SunStarlight in some fashion? XD It confirms how after around a year, the players who pour endless amounts of money into the free, "social" games stop playing, or at least stagger further behind. I am sure that you could easily overtake everyone since you have been diligently greeting in the game since the beginning. Greeting is too much of a bother when I actively play a dozen other games.

Aaaaand I am suffering hard. I became level 150 (strange that I am four levels above the tied people below me) recently and reached the 300th login the day after, so I only have two Missions remaining: complete 10 endings and login 500 times. OMFG. So far in the future. After all of this time plus the rushing because of spontaneity, I have only accomplished six endings. I am simply not capable of completing the remaining three spinoffs with my current supply of items, and I still have Akifusa's main route left. I was almost roadblocked because of Akifusa's checkpoint for three Passports, so I switched back to Furutsugu for the exchange of a Charm Checkpoint. Since I am somehow #1 for *registered* iOS players, it is plain to imagine how grueling this game's requirements are for everyone else.

Not even having 2K Zeni is so not cool~ *eyes bleed*

Yup, that's me :) Now I'm #4 :D

Yeah, having no items is very grrrrrr...

Also, congrats on ranking #1 in the Charm Ranking! :D

I'm like something between #7-#15 depending on who logs in.

Story status: Gen-chan 14-16 (Yay~)
Level of suffering: moderate.
Hope: In 20 minutes!

Now you're #2~ Seriously, if you just used up all your items, you would easily surpass me. But I ranked #1 in Charm once...? I am surprised that some of those players with more Charm than me did not play for one day. The highest I have ever seen my Charm rank was at second place. I usually do not care to scroll down there because "fashion" does not really happen in this game. There is only so much a player can customize their avatar, especially as all of the more unique items were during that ancient event. Since we are required to have one space in order to play the Zeni Slot, Shiki has no socks anymore~

Anyway, I caved again. I used maybe six to ten extra energy to complete Akifusa's Happy Ending an hour ago~~~ It was... quaint. Nothing too exciting. Unlike the other routes, you miss a looooot of background that is just lightly glazed over with the conclusion. My favorite part about this route was Tomonori. Naturally, I always wanted to go for Tomonori, but that was not going to happen in a non-fandisc. Akifusa remains my least favorite love interest, and I was still rooting for Tomonori by the end.

TOMONORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~~~~~~

They always have to sprinkle an explanation at the end to give us all the feels, and every character's motive was ultimately love. Even Doman and his infatuation with Seimei Abe himself.


I have finished every character at least once~! Yaaayyy~~~ I wonder if I should go for Normal or Sad next. I reaaaally want to play the after-story for Akifusa, but I have no items! I am still not greeting because I am too lazy to, but the future of being capable of playing every single day looks grim after spinning 5K at the Zeni Slots and only getting the tiny Ration, Dango, and Love Potion Tickets. Oh, I got a Story Save Ticket, too, so I could play that spinoff piecemeal and just save it if I have amnesia.

However, would it be so harmful to allow us to sell at least our Love Potions? I have 82 of them. As I already qualified for the Happy Ending, after the affection prompt appeared before the ending, I even decided to throw Love Potions at Akifusa. I could not believe how insignificant those Love Potions increase affection by, but two potions were all I needed to completely max out the Love Meter.

In my broken record of a statement, this game's Passport requirements is a serious deterrent for all new players who did not play from the release date – on June 20, 2014. The first anniversary is in exactly one week from today! I plan on greeting everyday until then juuuuust in case an event appears. They expect some players to still be around by the 500th login, which is around four months after the year.


What was the point of NTT Solmare updating only Scarlet Fate+ to place a banner advertising Demons' Bond? It was a shock to see that when no other game has such a display, and SF has not had any activity outside of the banner exchanges on the Top Page since the last Song of Spring sequel stories were released.


...I always write the longest, droning posts.

I'm always curious about the worst endings in any games, but every time I play one I feel incomplete. Because it's usually very short, it feels like all my efforts up to the ending are wasted, not to mention sad and emotionally empty.

Getting a Normal Ending is more difficult than a Happy one :( I have to be careful and pick mostly wrong answers, though I'm really sad to do so in Kuso's route. It hurts me more than it hurts him :(

Akifusa is also my least favorite~ Though I haven't played his route. Generally I don't like loud-mouth imprudent weaklings, and my first impression toward him is exactly that. I know he can't remain weak for the rest of his route, and he must have a cute side, but still~

I'm meh about Tomonori for now, but I reaaaaaally want to read more about Aterui (I keep saying his name in Japanese class instead of aruite meaning walking. It sounds dumb every time because aterui has nothing to do with a bunch of -te ending verbs.)

[SunStarlight]

Sigh... I've been hoping for a 1st anniversary event, but nope, nothing... No acknowledgement... Not even one message from staff saying thanks for being onboard for a whole year... (-_-;) The game seems pretty much dead...

[lyssa]

I hadn't known Scarlet Fate recently released a paid sequel app. By recently I mean almost a year ago, but anyway... ^^! I bought Aterui's route in a heartbeat, and by all means he doesn't disappoint me at all <3 His route is by far one of my most favorites, even rivals that of Kuso's.

Spoiler  not really a spoiler, but just in case:

It can be considered even better because everyone meets happy ends in his route. (Well, not as much for Shiki's other abandoned loyal potential love interests, but it can't be helped :< I'm sad for my dear Kuso and Gentoka too).

Their feelings develops slowly and even until the end, there are not many obvious romance action scenes, but it's so sweet and heartfelt <3 I just wish there would finally be a kiss or something at the very end, but no. Instead Aterui does something else just as sweet and aww-able x"3

Anyway, I'm just so, so glad Aterui can be saved and I can't help a part of me wishing his ending is canon... Poor my Kuso I love you but arghhh >"<

Beside the tenderly growing love that squeezes your heart every once in a while, the music and CGs are absolutely beautiful. All in all, Aterui's route is totally worth your time and money, I assure you *thumbs up*

Now all that's still missing is a sequel to this spin off, then I'll feel complete (￣▽￣)

Seriously I need that sequel! I'm dying for it!! (´･Д･)」

I don’t know if this counts

but I am suffering trying to find other people who adore Tomonori a fraction as much as I do in 2023.

It’s gotten to the point where I’ve come up with rude/insulting nicknames for all the other love interests out of sheer resentment that other people like them more, which is probably a bad sign. (Except Akifusa. Akifusa is a wholesome cinnamon roll who deserves no slander.) (Admittedly I’ve never read most of their routes to the end; Gentoka’s is the first one I read and the only other non-Tomo one I’ve read to completion. I was frankly completely bored by him but impressed by how badass Shiki was in his route, so I moved onto Akifusa’s route— and fell in love. Not with him.)

I won’t post them here because 1. I don’t want to be mean and 2. part of the motivation for most of them is just bitterness that I can find fans of all the other guys but not him these days (although Gentoka’s and Kuso’s are kinda punny IMO) (okay, fine, I call them “Snoozefest” and “Birdbrain”) (it’s okay, Gentoka, Aterui clearly wants you back even though I don’t).

I will say, however, that I find Tomo severely underrated.  He’s the most relatable otome love interest I’ve encountered in a long time. Maybe it’s just because I have depression but I don’t know, he made me feel less alone. Example: he mentions wanting to scream but being unable to find anywhere to go to let it out— having to hold it in while it quietly tears his heart apart. 

Also, he’s a dom, which is hot as hell. (I mean, his story is laced with bondage, ordering people around, and “punishment”. Very little of it is explicitly tied to sex or romance— other than the “punishment”— but still. *fans self*) People can make all the jokes they want about him being Shiki’s “minion”: if you’ve actually read his route, you know that’s not true. He’ll do everything he can to protect her and ensure her happiness but he’s not gonna ask her permission first.

Also, he’s completely unfazed by Doman, a guy twice his size. Again, hot as hell. (If Tomo were a DnD character, he’d be a halfling rogue mastermind. This is something I have actively thought about.)
