✨Today's Visual Novel Recommendation is: Our Cinderella
"Our Cinderella is a winter fairy tale themed stat management sim / texting sim created for the Once Upon a Time and Winter VN jams. Help Iggy make it to the party and find love with one of his childhood friends!" art and quote from the itch.io page
This free visual novel was an absolute joy to play, with very funny&witty dialogue. Each character felt alive with their varied vocabularies and various texting styles. I chose to romance Orlam and the whole ride was fun, romantic and in the end quite sweet. It's not very difficult, I beat it on my first try. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a short funny romance that relies on wit, with zero needless fanservice.

dick, giving the family a pep talk: everything you lose is a step you take
the family, nodding in agreement:
jason:
jason: hang on. wait a sec. did you just... quote taylor swift?
dick: ......what? no. no.
jason: no. no, you definitely did. that's taylor swift.
dick: it's not–... i didn't–
barbara: how do you know enough taylor swift to be able to quote her in your speeches?
dick, panicking: *points at jason* well how does he know enough taylor swift to be able to notice that i'm quoting taylor swift?
jason, on his way out: my lawyers will be in contact

TODAYS RANDOM VISUAL NOVEL IS....
Tax Heaven 3000
I played it all the way through a while ago, as a USA person who was goofing around with some friends, but let's see how this tax dating sim holds up
Liveblogging below
I never gave this game my real information in the first place, and I don't plan to for this run. methinks I'll just give it random info and see what it spits out
Faceless protag, I dub thee....
Thus begins the adventures of billy bob jones
I'm looking at that chair in the background and I think it's possible our boi is drained from hauling the tv more than from that thin foldable chair. None the less moving is stressful so the brain juices would be fairly drained, poured into the new kitchen sink
WALKS ARE SO GOOD FOR YOU OMG GO WALK BOI (also he wants to meet that special someone)
Strong ren'py feel with this background
OOF looks like we just bumped into somebody-
Miss IRS, er i mean, Iris, herself.
i do like the pink hair, she is cute :D
Introductions just happened- and we got our 2nd tax question
gonna put this under Not Sure because we just moved here but we didn't say this random walkable town was in the USA 🗽
time to check this
Yes i had alot of green little grass type pokemon cards, do you want one?
Memory serves game over happens if you're not an USA resident
yeah that is odd billy bob jones
But what if we say we don't have a green card?
it's time for a TEST
lets do 0 I've never lived in the usa ever (lives in the usa right now)
WHAT- anime bestie, are you a hologram???? WE JUST BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER WAT
bad end (there's alot of these, on account that this is a very limited game)
and then she starts taking a few notes about us..... and gives us THE PENCIL (i didn't note this but we wanted a pencil earlier)
I like the characterization here with the writing stuff, matches well with the tax prep stuff
Also this is a romance visual novel so OFC we shall date the IRS er i mean- Iris
MANNNNNN relatable i still need to do mine (tragically can't use this game this year)
AND WITH THAT, we close the liveblog for today
Hoping to complete the visual novel soon, as it has a short playtime memory serves.
I'll keep yall posted! Cya soon

HOW TO GET A GLOW UP
‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚.
I used to be the ugly dunklin, till I change in 1 week and turned pretty much half of my life upside down, it happened right after my 16th catastrophic birthday, at the time I was already following Liz and her tips which helped me so much!! So here how to glow up in minimum 1 week
౨ৎsmell good౨ৎ
This is so important, I noticed how people react to good smelling people, they just say it out loud how much they like the fragrance, knowning that it's you, will just make you more approacable, it boosts your confidence and overl all more liked
౨ৎexercise + diet౨ৎ
This was huge for me, not only it imroves your moods but it also makes your prettier, you need to fist know what goals you want to archive physically, if you want a bigger butt, eggs and potatoes salad can be a good alternative, if you want to have a snatched waist try to do more cardio, at the time the only cardio I used to do was jump roping, which is amazing!!
౨ৎwardrobe౨ৎ
This was the revolution, just dress how ou want each outfit can have at max 2 trendy elements, not more, and the rest it needs to rappresnt YOUR personality!! This is going to make you unique and recognizable!! Also I suggest to go shopping on friday lol, the beauty day!
౨ৎmentality౨ৎ
This is how everything started, a munch of motivational viddeos, the wizard liz and confidence targetting posts, moodboards and much more, at the time I was getting treated really harshly from my classmates, it was probably one of thelowest point of my life, bit I pick myself up, cause I had a goal: Changing my narrative.
There was not sense into staying bitter and hating not only myself but the world around, I wanted to prove to myself that I actually mettered, you don't glow up for other, but for yourself, never, ever welcome in your life people that before put you under the rug, have some respect for yourself and clear boundaries.
Hi bonitas I hope you liked this short post, This is just part of my expereince, tell me if you want to know more + other tips!! maybe I'll make a longer version in the future, Have a great day xoxo gougeous
