*reads gacha rule*

Don't forget to set the actual 'good' characters to such low odds that it takes multiple chances, selling out, or extreme luck

🤣

Good units get listed once on the wheel while the mediocre ones get listed multiple times to 'balance' rarity.......... this is honestly such a good idea and I greatly appreciate the input!! I never considered this!

this close to blocking all the genshin tags

[harfblarf]

if I get another honkaistarrail-temu ad combo on YouTube mobile I'm finally gonna fucking figure out one of those ad-free mobile YouTube thingamajigs

[artdolliewishes]

Imagine female Yuu having to cross dress to avoid unnecessary trouble at NRC and Idia finds out through Ortho. Because I can see Ortho finding out if Yuu ever got a minor injury and he was around to play nurse, knowing him he’d do a quick full body scan and find a very high amount of estrogen in her system.

And he blabs to Idia because he’s a snitch who doesn’t keep anything from his brother; if you tell a secret to him, you’re basically telling it to them.

Once Idia finds out, his mind INSTANTLY goes to those otome games and fanfics and gacha life videos about a girl in all boys school. He always thought those were just fun fantasies, but upon seeing that exact scenario happening in real life he becomes curious.

Prior to this, Idia probably wouldn’t think much about Yuu. To him, she was just the odd magicless guy his brother would occasionally run into; the most interesting thing about her was her cat, in his eyes. But now that he knows about her secret, he becomes heavily invested in her school life, he wants to see how this is going to turn out.

He doesn’t exactly stalk Yuu, it’s not like he’s putting cameras in Ramshackle or listening devices in her bag, it’s more like he just pays extra close attention to her when he has the chance, such as during joint classes and lunch. And since Ortho and her are on amicable terms, he encourages Ortho to spill any gossip he learns when around her.

To Idia’s surprise and delight, things end up matching up almost perfectly with what he’s come to expect from these kinds of plots. The ones close to Yuu, who seem to be privy to her secret from what he’s gathered, are all either falling in love or have already been in love. They’re extra protective of her, they’re affectionate and soft with her, and they get jealous when she gives too much of her attention to any one of them.

Idia knows about the overblot incidents, so of course he’d see the pattern in who starts getting closer. Every time someone overblots, Yuu will be there to help and both the overblotter and some other select people in their dorm will begin to fall. It’s a classic pattern.

At this point, Idia would simply see himself as an observer peeking in on this story and, therefore, he can’t be affected by Yuu. He’s not a love target in her story, he’s a side character.

It doesn’t matter that he’s occasionally run in with Yuu and each time he has she’s been a true friend to an introvert like him by making his anxious ass feel comfortable. It doesn’t matter because he’s aware of what’s happening and thus he can’t be affected.

But then he also overblots, and just like before she was there to help pick up the pieces. After that they ended up talking and Idia gets to know more about Yuu, more than he could learn by just observing.

Before long, he’s actually looking forward to seeing her again, to nerding out about his favorite anime’s with her in person because she’s always such a good listener. He’s looking at his manga and game collections and thinking about what she would like.

Idia doesn’t even realize his hearts been skipping beats when she’s around until one day when he’s in class and she walks in. Like a dog hearing their owner walk through the front door, his gaze shoots up and instantly that class gets fifty times more bearable with her around.

…And then he looks around and every other “main character” has had the same reaction.

Which means that he’s also a captured love target, just like them…

Oh how the turn tables for a dating sim loving nerd like himself

[leggerefiore]

Cuddle rankings for whatever characters/character versions you desire? Like who would be the best to snuggle up to after a long, stressful day?

I'll just do characters since it'll take all day cover the cuddliness levels of ice moth and caveman moth.

a scale of best to worst lmao

characters: Emmet, N, Elesa, Ingo, Archie, Guzma, Nanu, Maxie, Grimsley, Volo, Cyrus.

▽Emmet△

He's the best cuddler because his first thought after coming home tired and exhausted is to wrap his arms around you and sigh. If you had one, too, it's even better. Just snuggly train man who wants to dote on you with affection while having you dote on him. Light kisses are pecked all over you, and he lets you bury your face into his nape. There is also the added bonus of possible Galvantula hug, too, to really seal is place at the top.

🌿N👑

One of the best huggers. If he's stressed, he's like to curl into himself, but if you're the one that is, he clings to you and tries his best to give you comfort. He is gentle and caring, but a bit aloof. N's fluffy hair is a bonus due to how calming it is to play with while in an embrace with him.

⚡️Elesa🌟

She is tired and exhausted and wants to hold you for hours or nap on you. If she is worn out from work, the model just goes limp against you and asks to lay down. If you're the one who's worn out, you're allowed special privilege to lay your head in her lap or on her chest. She also throws in scalp massages while humming out a song that's stuck in her head.

▲Ingo▼

If he is cuddly and tired, you have him walk and just bury his face into your chest before just not thinking for a while or passing out. It is oddly and endearing and cute of him. If you're exhausted, he immediately shifts and just holding you to his chest and speaking soft praises to you. His hand strokes your head, and his heartbeat is steady and slow in your ear. Truly the king of background noise.

🌧Archie🌊

He might tell you about what's stressing him out depending on the severity of it, but otherwise he immediately pull you into his lap and cling to you. The pirate man is exhausted, and you are a great comfort to his mind. If you're stressed though, he just does the same thing but with more kissing involved. He also blabs on about something to keep your mind occupied, too.

💀Guzma🕶

If he's stressed, you'll know by how he's following you around like a lost puppy. He pulls you into his lap and just lets out a frustrated sigh. His face is buried in your nape while he holds you in what must be a deadlock. If you're stressed, he does essentially the same thing, but asks if there's anything he can do to fix it. Of course, his fixing won't involve discussion. Just take the free Guzma seat for a while and unwind.

🐈‍⬛️Nanu❤️‍🩹

Cat man prefers to handle things lazily. He rarely has days that feel long and unending, but when he does, you'll have him silently stalk in and wrap his arms around you. A sigh will leave him, and he'll just bury his face into in your neck. When you are the one exhausted, it shifts into him letting you lay down on his chest and nap on him. He strokes your hair and hums quietly. The old man really does create a relaxing atmosphere to unwind at. Also kitty cuddles and purrs.

☀️Maxie🌋

Man gets stressed out easily and needs to recharge. He will lay his head into your lap and just be there without moving for hours. The redhead by alternatively bury his face into your neck while holding you and just shut down for a bit. His brain is resting, and he trusts you. With you, he lets you lean against him while he looks over things on his laptop. He's warm and smells like ash, so you get to unwind quite easily. Not overly affection, but also still trying.

♠️Grimsley❤️

He is a bad cuddler. He recluses into himself and just plays like gacha games to relieve stress. You may get held in his lap or he may try to sit in yours, but that's as affectionate as it gets. For you, he's a bit nicer. He lets you lay your head in his lap while he does other things. His Liepard may curl up beside you and purr, though.

💫Volo📜

He's busy screaming about how his god has betrayed him to actually do anything. Well, actually he may cling to you before doing that for a few a moment, but he prefers to work through exhaustion in his own way. With you, he will let you sit in his lap or cling to him. Volo won't do a lot, but he will give you the presence to know he's there. An awkward kiss may be given to you, too.

🌌Cyrus🛰

The worst. He doesn't even try half the time. When he's stressed, he needs to be alone. He does appreciate a quick hug or grabbing at his hand, but cuddling is certainly not on his mind. Though, if it's especially bad, he may allow it. When you're stressed, he's still quite the same. Unless you tell him you want to cling to him, you likely won't get it. He's not one to initiate physical contact ever.

[morocosmos]

Quick it's 2am time to blab about the angsty but eventually happier new AU i started cooking about 3 weeks ago

So what if sanson didn't make it out of being nourval's hostage (which i have written before bc i am terrible) and in the messy aftermath guydelot got gacha-ed to the first because he was on moro'a's mind so much

Me on Sept 29th: omg Genshin is finally out!! Ahh an afternoon alone with a peaceful game. No pvp to bother me. How can it get better than this?

Youtubers: well this game sucks

Me: -_- i was wrong.

Full disclosure: I haven’t gotten very far in Genshin. Ive been kinda busy with my job and helping around the house and living life. I havent paid a cent yet. But honestly if game mechanics and greedy parts of the company bothers you that much just give up the game. ITS A GAME. If it’s not for you there’s millions of other gacha games and open world console games that don’t have you buying waifus or waiting for stamina. Let me have this.

[dreamweavers]

LOOK WHO I GOT IN PITTER PATTER POP 😍😍😍 I squealed so much for kak and kars and my family thought I was choking on smth dhdjdhdkdh I finally have all my favs and the only other jojo I need is josuke!!

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

I loved the idea of jade shrinking and taking care of reader! Could I please request headcannons for Idia, Azul, Kalim, Leona, and Riddle taking care of a shrunk s/o until the effects wear off?

I’ve written headcanons for the reader taking care of a tiny Jade (here) and an imagine where Octavinelle plushies come to life to take care of a stressed reader (here) if you’re interested! ^^

Curiouser and Curiouser...

Idia’s nervous about losing you in that giant mess he calls his room, so he clears off some space on his shelves and lets you run amok among his figures and other anime merch on display. You duck behind various anime characters and make silly poses with them—and it’s so cute, Idia whips out his phone to snap pictures!!

You’ll find yourself in a paradise of junk food! Idia’s always stocked up on candy, chips, soda, and energy drinks to snack on while gaming, and his entire stash is open to you. He’ll let you use his hand to boost yourself up a can to sip directly from it, or pass along chips of candy for you to lick, leaving your tiny hands snd mouth costed in sugar.

While you’re too small to handle a video game controller properly, you can still play mobile games! Idia will let you roll for him on his various gacha games (since all it takes is a single press on the screen). Plus, you’re his secret weapon and cheat code for rhythm games!! While his fingers are busy attacking the main notes, you can keep your eyes out for any stray ones he might miss and grab them for him!

Idia’s not great at conversation, but he sure will blab about the shows this situation reminds him of. He could list a dozen anime off the top of his head with an episode dedicated to one character shrinking and the rest of the cast taking care of them until they’re back to normal. “M-Maybe we could watch some together... O-Only if you want to, though!! I-It might give us something to do to pass the time... a-and I don’t want to risk taking you outside!! Who knows what kinds of dangerous things are waiting out there... I-It’d be like stumbling into the Final Boss without any equipment or items!!”

When your eyes are too tired to play games or to watch anime, you can make yourself cozy in Idia’s lap or his blankets while you read a manga or a light novel with him. He’ll hold the book and help turn the pages for you, letting you catch the paper between your hands to complete the flip to the next part of the story. It’s nothing big, but there’s something about that small effort to do something together that makes it so intimate.

Although Azul would love to take a day off from classes and work to tend to you, the reality of the matter is that he can’t (who knows what kind of trouble could brew while he’s away?). The alternative? He’ll bring you with him, of course! Azul will make sure to handle you carefully on those trips, keeping you close to his heart.

You can be his little assistant in the office, running him various items as he needs them—stamps for sealing important letters, pens for clients to sign off on contracts, fresh paper to write on, and more. Azul really appreciates the help (especially when he notices that Floyd has messed up his meticulously organized desk and supplies... again), giving you a firm stroke on the head with a finger as thanks.

He marvels at how economical your new form is! Because you’ve shrunk, so has your stomach—which means it takes far less food to sustain you, and the Mostro Lounge getting more bang for its buck out of its ingredients! As you munch away, Azul considers how much money he could save if the entire school population were also shrunken down, and a familiar greedy glint materializes in his eyes. “... Hmm? You want to know what I’m thinking about? Fufu, it’s nothing you need to concern yourself with, just another potential venture. Rather than worry about that, why don’t I fetch you a napkin square? You have crumbs all over you.”

There’s a grand piano in the middle of the lounge, which Azul loves to play. You can’t exactly join him in the song with your own hands, so you swing along to it while dancing on top of the keys. Each step on the teeth causes a note to abruptly ring out, a welcome disruption to the tightly knitted song. He shakes his head at you, but continues to play, relishing in the strange duet.

Azul offers you his scarf to keep warm, taking care to carefully drape it on your shoulders. If you need a place to rest, then the brim of his hat makes for a fine mattress. Together, his accessories make a comfortable makeshift mini blanket and bed to tide over your tiredness.

Kalim’s not nearly as concerned as he probably should be--actually, he’s super excited to dote on you and spoil you (much to Jamil’s chagrin)! He makes do with what he can, scooping you up in his hands and spinning in a circle, a sort of impromptu dance since he can no longer tug you by your hand to the dance floor.

Kalim delights in personally feeding you. Sharing food with his loved ones has always been one of the greatest joys in his life, but there’s something really adorable about feeding someone so tiny! (Unfortunately, Kalim forgets to account for your size difference and continues to shove morsels of food at you long after you’re stuffed.)

He lets you play among the many animals in his menagerie! Ride around on the peak of a camel’s hump, see the beauty of a peacock feather up close and personal, or even slide down the tail of a tiger or the trunk of an elephant! It might be a little scary at first, but Kalim’s great about easing both you and the animals into it, acting as a perfectly friendly mediator.

Your small size allows you to see items super close. It makes you really appreciate the details in the textiles from the Scalding Sands, the cut of every gem, the embossing on every gold coin. Kalim happily takes you to the storage room so you can stare at all the treasures more closely--and hey, you can even swim in the gold like a rich duck!

Kalim takes you for a magic carpet ride, telling you to hold onto him tight before you shoot off into the sky. Up you go, beyond the stars and the clouds and against the moon, then crashing down like a shooting star. “Hold your breath, it gets better!” Kalim calls to you over the roar of the wind. “Don’t worry--I’ll be here to catch you if you fall, okay? So just relax, laugh, dance!! Have fun! Up here in the clouds, we don’t have a care in the world.”

Leona’s not thrilled about babysitting, even if it is you. He usually leaves the whole “taking care of others” thing to Ruggie for a reason: because he sucks at it. However, he at least has the courtesy to admit to it (albeit in a slightly grumpy way), warning you to “be prepared” if you really insist on him being your caretaker until further notice. (Who knows? Maybe that’s just his way of saying he’s afraid he might hurt you.)

It’s nice and toasty in the Botanical Garden! It’s hard not to fall asleep in it... so you make you lean up against one of Leona’s ears or curl up in his tail and snooze in it. He’ll grumble and groan at first, but eventually he’ll give up and end up falling asleep with you.

The greenhouse’s sprinklers decide to come on at an inopportune time! Luckily, Leona senses it in time and springs into action, using his leather jacket to shield your small form from the water. He takes the brunt of it before he can prowl into the shade of a broad leaf. “... Don’t give me that look,” he growls, looking much less menacing in his wet state. More like a drenched cat on the side of the road. “I’d rather you be warm and dry than me. It’s not like you’ve got any spare clothes this size lying around--and if you got sick... Hmph. It’d be even more annoying to deal with that.”

Mealtimes are heavily dependent on whenever Ruggie gets let out of his part-time jobs to drop off Leona’s lunch (and therefore your lunch as well). Leona is never quite sure what Ruggie will provide, but he’ll share whatever the spoils are with you (meaning he’ll make you eat the things he doesn’t want to, like the lettuce off of his deluxe menchi-katsu sandwich).

On those occasions where Leona actually decides to go to class or to a club meeting, you can sit on his head as he saunters down the hallway. Hang on tight to his hair if he decides to sprint, though! It’ll be one rough and bumpy ride, as the lion becomes one with the wind--and by the time it’s over, all you can make out is the spiraling smirk on his face, knowing that he has caught you off guard.

Riddle’s absolutely beside himself with worry when he hears of your predicament! He won’t let you out of his sight for one moment--for is he does, he worries he might lose sight of you forever. Riddle even volunteers to ferry you to and from your classes, as well as to take notes for you. This way, he’ll remain by your side, and you won’t miss any important information in spite of your smallish-ness.

He’s hesitant about letting you play with the hedgehogs and the flamingos, but relents, as he is confident that he has trained them to behave well. You have a grand time frolicking in the grass, chasing rolled up hedgehogs and grasping onto brightly colored feathers as your flamingo steed dashes across the lawn. Riddle trails behind you warily, expelling puffs of breath as he nears exhaustion, but he finds himself relaxing when he sees your smile and hears your laugh.

Join him for some tea in the garden, won’t you? Riddle will prepare your very own teacup (even if it is too large for you and assist with drinking out of it by tilting the cup for you. He’ll pass along cookie crumbs and break off bits of sandwiches to sate your appetite--and for the final treat, Riddle gifts you the crowning strawberry from the top of his tart.

The many oddities of the Heartslabyul Garden have caught your attention. You duck under mushroom caps and play among the petals while Riddle seeks you out, and when you jump out from your hiding place and call out to him, the greatest look of relief washes over him.

As the day is winding down and tiredness begins to set in, you curl up into an empty teacup, lulled into a gentle slumber by the fragrant residue of tea leaves and dessert. Riddle plucks a fat petal off of a nearby rose and lays it over you with a chuckle. “You’re ever so troublesome at times, you know that? ... Still, I do not dislike it. I suppose it does good to indulge in wackiness and whimsy once in a while. Whatever it is that you are dreaming of, I hope that it is something just as wonderful as my time with you is.”

Ikerev Army Boys Playing Twisted Wonderland

After reading @valnyte’s HC with Ikevamp, I wanted to do one with Ikerev too.

Alice introduces the boys to Twisted Wonderland and is shocked to get them all hooked into the game. Let’s say they all understand the game.

*just want to say, the strategies I typed in these HCs are actually legitimate strategies I’ve heard from people, and if you have the cards for it, I suggest you try them out

Black Army

Ray Blackwell

He’s in mainly for the story.

F for him, his fav character is Che’nya.

He claims Heartslabyul is his favorite episode because it has the best story out of the currently released episodes so far, but the Black Army isn’t falling for that.

He’s not wrong though, in my opinion. Heartslabyul, along with Octavinelle, has the best story.

He had to make it a rule that no one should spend the Black Army funds for gacha after the one time Seth spent 10k lin for gacha.

He does assemble his team but only bases his assembling on favs and a bit from Sirius’ advice.

He can’t help but smile fondly at Ace and Deuce’s shenanigans and dumbassery; they remind him of him and Fenrir.

Sirius Oswald

Oh he’s gonna have fun with the strategizing part of the game.

He will write down in a notebook all the card information he has attained and would ask from other soldiers for their cards if he doesn’t have a certain card so he can note down their stats at max level groovied, their magic skills, their typings, their buddies, and even how they perform in battle.

He’s the first and only one in the Black Army who scored SSS on tests. Everyone was floored.

Listen, he probably discusses these strategies at dinner especially because some people ask him how he scores ridiculously high in tests.

“Fairy Leona may be a defense card, but if with Kalim and Rook, who are his attack buddies, his attack stat will increase to 5k+. If you have SSR Kalim, who boosts your ally, his attack stat will increase further, and it’s even better that Kalim’s attack boost is magic 1 and he is Leona’s duo partner, therefore strengthening Leona’s duo magic. If limit broken at a certain level, he can deal 10k damage per hit with duo magic. The only other SSR who can inflict the same amount of damage is Riddle dorm and even then, you need to have Cater on your team with max buddy to even experience such a boost.”

He may not have superb gacha luck and he is an f2p, but whatever cards he possesses, he can somehow make them work in his favor.

He has a spiritual connection to Trey Clover.

Luka Clemence

Hello, may I introduce you to Luka “I have 7 SSRs only, it’s not that much” Clemence?

No, I’m not kidding. This guy has insane luck as an f2p.

He snagged 7 SSRs in two weeks and when Seth was crying about his gacha luck, that was the only time Luka realized 7 SSRs was a lot?

“I JUST WANT AN SSR SO BAD, I ONLY HAVE MY TUTORIAL PULL ONE”

“Huh?¿ How can you only have one?”

“BECAUSE I’M THAT UNLUCKYYYYY WHY HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE”

“I only have 7...”

Seth’s screams could be heard from Red Territory.

Ok but Seth has every right to freak out. Luka has ALL dorm leader SSRs, biggest tank of the game SSR Trey, and tweels.

Luka dislikes Riddle and Vil for the fact they both bear similarities with his brother. He has mixed feelings with the former, though, due to his backstory.

When it comes to rhythmics, he laments about how he’s a musician yet he can’t get the timing right. Poor fingers are slow.

Rip him in hard mode, especially for Octavinelle’s and prologue 14. They’re h e l l.

Seth Hyde

Rip Seth, he just wants an SSR

His initial SSR was Ruggie and he was crying when he learned from Sirius that he could have rerolled.

His favorite character is Vil and he wants him to come home, but only his Rs arrived.

It’s a wonder how 10k lin wouldn’t bring robe Vil and lab Vil home.

And he still has less SSRs than Luka LMAO

He’s cried at almost every OB backstory except Leona’s.

His favorite rhythmic is the paint the roses one.

Fenrir Godspeed

Luck in battle? Yes. Luck in gacha? Who’s that?

Fenrir spends money on the game but he uses his family’s wealth. Don’t worry, he knows how to manage his savings, but that’s mainly because he accidentally inputted the wrong birth year when he first put it in, so it listed him as a minor.

He loves Ace because he felt like he could relate to him so much.

His first SSR was Riddle, so he really wanted Azul’s SSR when his banner first came out. He hit pity pull and got duped by Floyd.

It’s ok Fenrir, I feel your pain, except I never hit pity.

He loves the rhythmics. Often, he’ll be singing the tunes out loud.

He’s gonna sing the Magift rhythmic songs when he’s training with other soldiers.

Red Army

Lancelot Kingsley

It took him weeks to figure out where alchemy classes are.

He has 4 SSRs who duo with each other, so that’s lit af.

He doesn’t know why he keeps losing in certain battles, though.

He also spent money on gacha oof

Riddle makes him chuckle. He has such a huge resemblance to Jonah, after all.

Trey makes him think of Sirius too often.

He ends up laughing at the thought of Sirius being Jonah’s helper.

I mean hey, they could have at least been friends if things played out differently back in school.

His favorite is Malleus, though, for the fact that he is powerful and lonely.

Jonah Clemence

He didn’t touch on the game at first because he thought it was ‘a waste of time’. It didn’t help that Edgar teased him for having the same voice as Riddle. It was only when he found out Lancelot plays the game and looks so happy with it that he decided to give it a try.

He was surprised at how similar he and Riddle are, and he liked the little queen even more for his birthday, being the same as Luka’s.

He will never admit he likes the game, though, but the soldiers catch him humming some of the songs sometimes.

Another thing he will never admit: he felt a lump in his throat when he read Riddle’s backstory, but when he got to Azul’s, he cried for an hour. He found himself most impressed with Azul’s voice acting prior to the overblot, but the story about Azul’s past had hit him hard. They experienced the exact same thing after all (being bullied) but it was interesting how differently they both turned out afterwards.

Jonah isn’t too big on the meta gameplay. Sure, he strategizes, but he mostly takes into consideration the stats of a card, not so much with the performance of it in battle. He won’t ever say it to Edgar, but he does take Edgar’s advice into consideration, even applying it if he has the cards for it.

Jonah scoffs at spending on gacha. Ultimately, they’re just JPEGs. Why spend on something that can’t be touched? Anyway, he has 5 SSRs and several good SRs such as robe Jade, robe Vil, and lab Trey. He can manage.

He loves the rhythmic section of the game. He may not be the best in the battles, but he’s talented in the rhythmics. Sure, some rhythmics were difficult, but he always scores SS on one or two tries regardless of difficulty. His favorite songs are the fairy gala songs and he’s caught humming them.

Edgar Bright

Just like Sirius, he has fun strategizing in battle. He will blab to Lancelot, Jonah, and Zero about the different strategies he’s come up with.

“Did you know you can make SSR Jade an attack SSR? His magic 1 raises his attack stat, and if you max it, hm will it exceed 5,000? I forget. And if you put Trey in the same team as Jade, he will further boost his attack, and if their buddy level has been maxed, hm perhaps you might reach 6k+ for Jade’s attack stat?”

“Did you know Azul’s attack stat can surpass even Floyd’s attack stat? If you max his buddy with Jade, he can be as strong as Riddle dorm at lvl80.”

“I’m sorry, but after testing out fairy Kalim, his SR cards are still better performance-wise.”

He’s the first and only one to have SSS and just like Jonah, he aces the rhythmic section.

He finds himself most amused with Jade for his shadiness and is probably the one who goes, “Jade, don’t you just want to go apeshit?”

Kyle Ash

He tends to miss lessons often either because he has a lot of patients or because he’s hungover, so he tends to complain about how weak his cards are.

He doesn’t care much about the meta gameplay and plays by favorites. Somehow, he manages to use the good cards and hits rank S.

He doesn’t join the events and doesn’t understand the woes of gacha since he always manages to get the cards he wants.

Luckiest guy honestly, and some of the soldiers jokingly beg for his luck.

Zero

He also strategizes but he mostly follows Edgar’s advice since he tends to get to it first before Zero.

Zero doesn’t play too often because of work, but the game is addicting enough to make him catch the restored AP every 2.5 hours. Anyway, even if he didn’t want to, Alice would have tried to get his workaholic butt off of work.

Poor baby has given up on prologue 14 hard mode rhythmic.

His favorite character is Jack for his good boy nature and he found himself liking the Octavinelle chapter for his presence and rationality. Beans Day event was also fun for him because of Jack.

Ikemen Sengoku - The best one of Otome game from CYBRID’s Ikemen Series

Since Ikesen English version was released on June 2017, no way the real Otome gamer’d miss it. In the other hand, the amateur me who’ve just stepped into this Otome world only for a year just knew and started playing it around the end of 2017, very late bird.

Anyhow after I’ve been playing for 2 months I found it is real good. Both artwork and story are just right to me. Plus there are many attractive things in this game. And I love it so much that can’t help but have to release my overflowing feeling by blabbing on this blog.

As I mentioned on my blog’s header, I’m not English speaker and still be a newbie blogger since this is my first English blog, so pls spare me for my weird English. Why I have to desperately wrote English blog then? The main reason is for my personal entertainment and creating a room to chat with my game’s pal who share the same interest with me. 

Okay, leave that boring things and let’s me tell my though of this amazing game.

Art : CG & Costumes

Ikesen’s art is gorgeous, painterly style artwork cached my eyes at first glance. Characters faces and body-build are balance and look good in every angles. In some Otoge, we’d found characters faces or organs look weird or creepy in some CG. I salute Yamashiro-sensei, an illustrator, for creating these fabulous work pieces. 

Costumes designs are very creative, not be boring conservative like the other Samurais Otoge. And still remain the hints for gamer to guess who they are by using clan’s crest. Each characters have their own themes and colors which perfectly match their personalities. There are 3 types of attire per character, casual kimono, formal attire and war suit. I heard Ikesen creative team hired Thai’s creative to help them for characters’ design. Wow, they really did it awesome 😎

Characters

This game is the one of CYBIRD’s Ikémen series, with a brand Ikemen, of course, all characters MUST be HOT & HANDSOME. There are 11 hotties for us to choose; 9 warlords, 1 ninja, and 1 abbot. Nine of them are Japan’s most famous Sengoku warlords who were real existed in Japanese history, excepted the part of hot and handsome. Most of them also appear as the characters in many manga, anime and games. 

Isn’t it sounds challenge and fun to conquer their heart?

Plot and Story

After accidentally went back to Japan’s Sengoku period in 1562 through the wormhole, MC saved Oda Nobunaga who nearly die in Honnoji Incident by chance. As the life-saver and lucky charm, MC earned the favor from him and was assigned to be a chatelaine of Azuchi castle, where MC were surrounded by those famous, hot and handsome Sengoku warlords. While struggling in this turbulent and war state period and waiting for a chance to back home, MC have to learn and does many things for the sake of survival. Even though she promised herself not to get too close to anyone, but the fate still bring her to him and fall in love. 

”Back to the past” plot seems non creative, but the story lines really are very interesting, nothing more or less. MC and love interest slowly developed their feeling in reasonable and acceptable way, made me moved so much. The writer did an impressive job to compress those details and emotional things into just 13 episodes.

My favorite part, erotic scenes are not that straight but still give a sexy, mature and alluring vibe. I found myself was attracted to their different charms and wanted to know them more and more. How nice we could have THINGS with various types of guys without a REAL physical relationship, so convenient. Plus, this is the Japanese famous WARLORDS we’re talking about, not typical guys who we could found anywhere.

Avatars Dressing for Fun and Points

As same as the other online Otoge, there is avatars for the player who love girly-doll-dressing in “Your Room”. The avatars here; avatar itself, attire, accessories, wallpaper and all decoration items are really awesome, very detailed and creative. We can get the regular items by buying them from shop and special limited items by joining the events which are held quite frequent. 

Not only your room but there is also a “Castle” where we can be with our suitor in adorable chibi form. every things are uber cute! (๑˃v<๑) Here we can get a lot of decorating items from gacha, standard items from daily free gacha and special limited items from events.

Advantage Thing

The most I love, character’s HOT VOICEs!! (๑>◡<๑) Normally we can hear his greeting in different 3 lines whenever we feel like by just push a speaker icon right at “His Room”. In his room we can set any guys as wallpaper even we are playing a different guy’s route, which mean we can two timing our suitor openly. When we passed the challenges in main or event story, he’ll appear in chibi form to praise or even give some gifts or rewards to us, sounds cool, isn’t it? （╹◡╹）Not only that, they are giving out some voice clips on occasions which we can save in our game’s memory to listen anytime we want. Hearing their hot and sexy voices in cheesy lines make my imagination gone wild (*≧∀≦*)

Negative Thing

The only minus point, it’s quite pricey if we compared to VOLTAGE’s which we can buy the whole main story including epilogue by the same amount, and just a half price when they hold a sale campaign. But for IkeSen, if we want to play in Premium, we have to spend around 27 USD for just 1 route!! (O_O) And if we want to play both Romantic and Dramatic route for 1 character, we need more 9 USD. Not to mention a lot of interesting and fun events which will release a ton side stories and items for our avatars. Most of them were free if we were the active players. But of course, we still have to pay for an Early Bird’s and premium epilogue stories anyway (⌒-⌒; )

Of course, this is basically a free game, if you don’t mind much about the longer and sweeter premium bonus stories, you can just go for the normal stories. But could you really just be satisfied by the normal stories? As my direct experience, it’s a real hard to resist their charms. Those hot and sexy warlords will enchant you to blindly fall for them. When you become to your sense again, both of your heart and purse were already robbed away. (´⊙ω⊙`) The most mysterious thing is you’d somehow can manage your money and continue this expensive hobby anyway.

That’s said and I still addict to this game. If you don’t want to fall hard, don’t dare to step in. I-WARNED-YOU-WITH-LOVE (^з^)-☆
