Hello I am N33k5, I am a zombie dog. I only started playing otome games in the past year. Normally I play survival horror but, with small children squabbling at your ankles you have to revise some hobbies. My first otome game was NTT Solmare's Destiny Ninja and I still have much love for Mizuki much to my husband's amusement. You'll see me playing generally as Kiyoki or Kikuri in the "Shall We Date?" series. I hope you all will except my poor angry cyberpunk self as a potentially valued member of the community. Thank you.

Aha, I imagine you've played Lost Island then!

And welcome~ ^^

Hiiiiii, cyber-zombie-mother-dog~ I might have seen you in Destiny Ninja? Hard to know when people are named the same thing sometimes. And yes! Zombies exist in Lost Island. =w= It is intriguing to think that my ancient intro thread is considered a "similar topic" below.

Your existence is already being valued~~

Believe it or not while I am going through Lost Island I am not really digging it. Way too many science fails...

...I was about to call this game "Zombie Ninja." orz

Anyway, Lost Island is too naive to really be taken seriously in the genre. Despite being a scientist... researcher person, the MCs's an idiot like most otoge protagonists~ The whole situation made me feel like everyone came upon the world of the Powerpuff Girls and landed in Chemical X. But that's just me. I really only stayed along with that game because the character art is one of the better ones.

Come for the zombies, stay for the polkadot pants~

Sakaki had amazing pants XD I made the mistake of going with Ren. I just completed Ren's story yesterday and while it was an OK basic ending Ren still amazingly terrible hair that makes me want to punch him and that doody face attitude of his. He lightened up but I didn't put up with jackholes IRL so why should I in a game I may play through one of the other characters to see if it was mostly Ren's story being crap.
Niflheim on the other hand has been lovely if a bit weird. J.J. and Nick are both awesome if a bit negative Nancy-ish.

I think my shouting about being in love with Ichiro's pants infected Vixey~~ The fact that there are asshole characters in many of these otome games makes me wish that more of them had an option to ignore them or flip them off, but that is usually in the more strategy-ish VNs.

While I like J.J. and finished all of his endings, it feels like there should have been... more. And Nick was so annoying for the first half of the route, my gosh. The funniness behind his internal conflicts wore off pretty quickly. Good thing he finally decides to stop moping and cast his shadow of insecurities on everyone.

I am on my way to starting my second play through with Nick so I can get his Mystical done then I'll switchback to JJ for the Mystical ending. BTW were you just as bothered by J.J. saying "ergo" every few lines in Nick's story? He rarely said it in his own, I think twice.... My husband is excited that I finished the Romantic end. I think it tickles him to see me getting all ragey and happy over a story.

Congrats on clearing the ending for Nick! I had thought I'd be able to by today's deadline, but the otome goddesses only pointed and jeered at my fruitless efforts~ I should be finished in a couple days, though. Very excited to know what happens~ This is also for the Romantic ending, by the way, so I wouldn't have any new info once there. I think that I appreciated J.J.'s Mystical Ending the most, so I am curious as to how Nick's Mystical Ending would be portrayed. I only remembered that ergo-ing in one scene, but it was one of the very few scenes he was in. I wasn't especially put off by it, but it did seem a little excessive.

Your husband is so accepting~~ Many people would be amused listening to these exploits surrounding fictional characters. It's like watching a movie or drama. The rage and commentary that boils outward~ Since I have no one to rant to face to face, it all squeezes out of my fingers.
