EWWWWWW. I so hate Tori on a worse level than the SWD Nobunaga. At least Nobunaga looks younger. Tori looks... wrinkly. But that was a weak poll, considering the numbers.

Yeah, I saw the crossdressing Hotaka and was, like, yaaaaay~~~ But damn! I can't get the Hotaka avatar because I haven't been able to play for a week. Has the early bird campaign ended? Can't even open the app to check.

Oh, wait! I was able to get wifi and completed the Happy Ending. I apparently only needed three more scenes, since I was already on the HE since last week. So happy~~ That ending was eh, though.

He's one of my least favorite characters. You must be a registered user to view this. Login Here

I'm still hoping for Kinshiro. He's my favorite aside from Wakasa. Until I actually see a ring finger on that hand, I won't give up.

Has the application been tweaked to make the text show up significantly faster starting today? There were definitely no updates. It used to be at the same speed as every SWD game, which allowed me to tap a second time to make the text fully appear. Now, my slow reflexes were not even capable of keeping up, and I watched the text bolt across the screen. The fast-forward function had always been crap half the time because it would not stop, even after lifting my finger and tapping at the center of the screen, so maybe this is one of those temporary quirks. A little convenient, but I'd rather it not scroll if it were going to be that swift
.

I am actually pretty excited to see Ichika's manlier side, but he always behaved the same in every single route except Soji's. Getting riled up and ready to fight the one who wants her hand. Ichika is bound to also become a vigilante but be initially angry that the MC kept such a secret from him. Seeing as Ichika's route is being released sometime, it is making me all the more expectant for a Willem route~~~

Wakasa just disappointed me, and his Sweet Ending – LOL. I'd have thought he would be better at knowing as a doctor... I guess that my favorite character is Aoi. Soji's too dense and Natsume is too embarrassed. Since they never gave ages in this story, I can only wonder how old Ichika is... Considering how the MC was already at marital age, Ichika should have been nagged to get hitched, too, though there's that double standard between men and women...

[Sakuragawa]

Faster but not better. If they're going to make the text appear faster, couldn't they have made it instant instead? That scrolling is distracting. It was better when it was slower. Tapping again when the text was still appearing made it instant.


Ichika has a manlier side? *remembers the checkpoints and how often it was a failure*

[Aiwethryne]

The new text speed is such a problem. I keep habitually double tapping and skipping text, so I am forced to close the app and reopen it to replay the scene, sometimes over and over because my thumb does not want to comply with my intentions.

I just got to the CG in Hotaka's Ninja Playing Ninja, and this play was actually pretty exciting compared to the others. I felt that I had learned way more about the characters in this theatre story, which made it more appealing. I believe that they introduced this specific spinoff before Ichika's story release because it features him. I cannot help but imagine the types of dirty secrets Ichika knows about the MC since he's been spying on her all her life.

Aoi's version of the spinoff was a bit funny because

Spoiler  Hidden:

he completely ditched the script in the end and went for the MC because he just could not act out a romantic scene with a man.

Wakasa's was simply blah because I could not understand how he even got better. While Soji was apparently flipping spectacular, I thought there would at least be a conflict between Soji and the MC over it. The text kept emphasizing how distressed his acting made her feel, so it seemed strange to make that a non-issue. I guess that is why they made Sion's about how his acting is so life-like, it's spilling into into their everyday life. What is that theatrical technique for people staying in character even outside of scenes? All I have left is Sion's Ninja Playing Ninja, so I'll get to see how that plays out~

These stories make me want to write about the characters in the plays because they were at least more dramatic and typical of the love lost and self-sacrifice themes found in Asian films set in historical times.

I am happy that I'll definitely be in the top 1000 for the midterm ranking, so I get that pretty hair and dress. Alas, those are mere recolors, and I prefer the ones that I could not get during another campaign with the blonde hair and icy blue dress. I wanted my avatar to look like Frozen's Elsa!


I just saw the new Box of Treats thing, and it's all pink and I like that. I cannot help myself. I am definitely going to buy that 1800 Koban Event Dice. But it's limited to one... I really wanted an event story. I'll wait, however. Since the thing is available until March, there is bound to be a stupid Valentine's event. I'll get it when there's a double time happening, if it's another campaign.

If I cannot get an event story, I'd be okay with a ninja in a western suit, but it looks kind of strange... And that blue dress is GORGEOUS. Everything else is lame. But no completion background for me~~ I guess I should be happy that I got a bunch of avatar items from the Halloween limited slots thing, but I want at least one super girly-cute thing.

[Sakuragawa]

Maybe I will read Aoi's spin-off after all then. His seemed to be the most interesting. I'm taking a theatre course this semester so it would be interesting to see how they pull it off.

They kept changing the reasons for why the actors couldn't make it right?

Spoiler  Hidden:

Was it Hotaka's where the reason was so lame, that one of the actors got sick and they all went back to their hometown? And I think two of them was because of a flood, which sounds almost legit, since there is a port so at least they're near a body of water.

Kinshiro was cute, "I can't act." lol

[Aiwethryne]

Ichika's route has been released~ I always only seem to have enough story tickets, or whatever they are in this game, for five chapters every time a new character sets in. Ten Purses, fifteen Koban... I should be set.

I like that they change the top banner with each release~ I really don't like that Ichika in a yellow hakama outfit thing, but that's the Sweet route. Glad that we get an Ichika side story with any ending, though. But the early bird period ends when the event dice stuff ends. Thought there'd at least be some new Hanafuda thing going down since they throw them at us so much.

Still busy transferring files, so I can't be bothered playing for a few more hours. But here's to hoping Ichika becomes a vigilante! *please don't spoil me, yet~*



Almost half a day later and this is my summary of Ichika during the entire first half of his route:

Spoiler  Hidden:

It looks like he's gonna be a vigilante! Yaaaayyy~~ But, geez, Soji. How many times must you slip up?

I totally knew that they probably held back Ichika's release for so long because Hotaka, Natsume, and/or Wakasa would be shown in it~ But Ichika is really annoying~ So jealous of everything that moves.

And the MC's shock towards everyone's professions is so quirky every single route. She does this every time, so it feels like a bad case of deja vu. Rather amazing how she can't handle the truth.

Best hairdresser?!
Prostitute?!
Constable?!
Iseya?!
Black market?!
Magistrate?!
A man in women's clothing?!
Ninjas?!
Ichika?!
Foreigner?!
Boyfriend?!

And this pose seriously makes it look like it is actually Ichika with his hand around Kinshiro.

Can anyone else go onto their friends profiles in this game? I keep getting a 502 Bad Gateway error.

[Sakuragawa]

Yes. It didn't work at first but I tried again and it works now. It's taking a while to load tho.

[Lilwyn]

Ive been trying for the past couple of days :/

[Aiwethryne]

I've been trying for the past few months and *almost* always reach a 502 error. Mentioned this several times in Cafe Chat. I noticed ages ago because I would try to go to people's profiles to check out their pretty avatars or delete people who look like they never play, but it is a chore to SOMEHOW even reach their profile to do that. Takes forever to process.

I keep considering sending an inquiry, but I keep forgetting.
