WELCOME TO LOVELY ♡ (KISS KISS) NIGHT RAVEN ACADEMY

Play as a transfer student in the newest Dating Sim, (Night Raven Academy)! Get closer to 7 different students and unlock various different endings for each of them!

The game has just been released, so it’s only expected that there are some glitches… right?

The game, in truth, is not-so-haunted by various things, all who have their own ways of messing with the Player via the game. (For what reason, you decide..) That's most of the gimmick.

Add your ocs to the #LoveNightRaven event– either as the MC/Player, or as a 'character'! Get Creative! Please?

This universe (the in-world 'Dating Sim' setting) is magicless! Beastkin/mermaids/fae are just descendants, and don't have any powers.

The color palette is largely hues of pink and red– a pink sweater on top of a dress shirt and maroon pants, though the style varies on the individual. Principal Crowley insists on no hats or hoods though… Night Raven Academy is a example school!!!

1st/2nd years wear sweater vests and ties, while 3rd years wear cardigans with thinner ribbons.

You’ll notice the all the characters have some sort of bright red accessory– please accessorize as you wish!!

Now, is that all?

LOVELY ♡ (KISS KISS) NIGHT RAVEN ACADEMY ♡ CHARACTER PROFILE

example:

♡ The character that appears in the HINT menu and introduces [MC] into the game, serving more as a in-game mechanic than a fleshed out character. It appears he’s gained some mild form of power over the game’s coding and sentience, and fostered a crush on one of the LIs to boot.

♡ He sabotages the PLAYER by resetting RIDDLE’s affection meter to zero when they’re close to getting one of his endings, or resetting the entire game’s progress to the beginning.

♡ He fosters no ill will towards the MC or PLAYER, he swears. It's just that…

You don't have to use this but if you'd like lol.

NOTICE:

We’ve received some complaints that there’s an ongoing glitch where RIDDLE’s HINTS are priced unreasonably high in the HINT menu, or the number of HEART ❣️ CREDITS the PLAYER has earned is wrong. We’re working hard on finding the source of this bug.

Thank you for being patient and supporting our game!

– The Devs ♥️

I've seen so many artists that inspire me be so hard on themselves lately that it's honestly frustrating me. Like, what do you mean you think that looks bad. What do you mean your style is too simple, or too rough, or too messy? Is it not enough that it's yours? Is it not enough to have made something? You are a creator, not a critic! You, with your own hands, with your own effort and time, made something that doesn't exist before! You having added something new to the world! Isn't that beautiful? Isn't that amazing? Only you could have done that. Only you could have made that. Please give yourself the grace and appreciation you deserve for that work, because you have earned it simply by doing it.

Fanworks vs. Published Works

Okay, so, I was on Reddit and there was this discourse of fanfic v. published work, and how the lines are beginning to blur more and more, particularly among readers, and how dangerous this is for fandom spaces because fanfic is not designed for the same sort of engagement one has with a published work. They look similar and feel similar, but equating them can be devastating for fanfic writers, particularly if people start reviewing and critiquing fanworks the same way they do published works.

The comparison on that subreddit—which I had never encountered but might well have been around forever and new to no one but me because sometimes I do live in a cave—was that fanfic is like a potluck. And I love that because it's 100% accurate.

At a potluck, you make something for people to enjoy out of love. It’s really shitty to go to a potluck, then walk up to someone who made what you believe is a subpar casserole and start in like you’re a food critic. You’re missing the point of the potluck. And you’re kind of a dick.

In a restaurant, the rules are different, just like in the publishing industry. You select a restaurant, you pay for a meal, and if the meal isn’t to your liking, you can leave the restaurant a review on Google or Yelp or the platform of your choice (assuming you didn’t just throw a tantrum in the restaurant itself, but that’s another discussion). And sure, YMMV from other diners’ experiences, but even if everyone loves this restaurant and you don’t, it’s perfectly acceptable to leave a subpar review listing the reasons why it didn’t meet your standards. It’s fodder for future diners to consider at this point, less for the restaurant itself. The way book reviews are meant to be for readers, not the author. The author will see it, they might get annoyed, but unless they want their career to go up in smoke, they won’t respond. Just like restaurant owners who go nuclear on bad reviews, word spreads when someone can’t take criticism.

And no, it’s still not cool to critique someone’s potluck dish even if that person is a professional chef. They still elected to invest their time, talent, and creativity to bring that dish to the potluck and are getting nothing out of it but the satisfaction of their dish being enjoyed. The potluck should be a safe space for everyone—the chef knows to expect unsatisfied customers at work; when they’re at play, when they’re relaxed and enjoying something with a chosen community, it’s really shitty to start acting like a customer in the restaurant. You don’t have to love what they brought but keep it to yourself and go try something else.

As a published author, it bothers me a lot more when people invade my fanfic space to be critical than it does any of the 20+ works I have for sale on Amazon and other vendors, and this is why. Fanfic is more personal because it’s unpaid labor created out of love and a desire for community. It’s not a commodity, and treating it like that is how you murder joy and, for some creators, sometimes the drive to ever create again.

So don’t be a dick at the potluck, okay?
