This novel is so so good, I do wonder for how long it's gonna remain my favorite otome..? Probably, and hopefully forever, that one of the major factors for getting it was the artstyle and theme. The store page does contain pretty much all you need to know before you decided to dive-in into the bittersweet adventure full of all kinds of emotions, as well as some mystery that's to be discovered during the first and possibly second playthrough. As per usual, as in that most novels are scripted like that, this novel does follow a main story with dialogue choices affecting your love interests, determining your ending aswell. The characters have so rich personalities and are so unique that it's a rarity to come across. At times, I didn't know what to do.. So many of the reactions of the characters, namely of the protagonist, have felt so relatable, it was almost as if I was reading myself rather than what has she felt, and that made me love her personality even more. And it wasn't just hers.. Many of the characters do feature their unique traits that are so standing out, their actions following them and it does make sense for why'd they do what they have done. The predictability of the characters, yet remaining the mystery until discovered was one of the points that made me wanna keep reading and discover what's going to happen. The necessity of me having to sleep instead of reading more was almost unbearable, it was difficult to tear myself away from the screen whenever I got myself into reading this otome masterpiece. I've wanted to know more about them. Their personalities are so interesting, I've felt completely drawn-in that the rest of the world stopped existing for me. The story does involve some really intense situations, and because I've managed to empathize with the protagonist so much due to having some of the traits and parts of personality in common, that the novel was one if the biggest emotional rollercoasters I have ever experienced when it comes to reading. I have lost count of how many times have I cried, felt happy, affraid, or even confused. No other novel has managed to awake such a wild side within me yet, besides about one or two exceptions. Naturally, or rather as one would expect.. Its soundtrack has played straight into the cards of it all. It was all pitch perfect. Each track, each situation tied to it.. It was matching. Nothing was off, and the music has only intensified everything that's been reflected there back to me. When the protagonist got sad, I got sad. When the protagonist felt embarrassed, I have felt embarrassed. ... This sort of connection has made it so special. Each track have had its place, and I thoroughly enjoyed every little bit of vibration that got back to me. There were tracks that have made me alerted, somewhat scared yet determined to find out what's going on and how is it going to end, just like there were tracks that have made me so happy I could burst, as well as sad that I wanted to comfort not just myself, but the portrayed characters in my own fairytale reality that I imagined on top of it all. If anyone's looking for an otome genred novel, do know that this is gonna be and too likely even remain one of the bests if not the best you can ever come across. There's no point hiding it, as the novel's got so much to offer in terms of the play with one's emotions that getting immersed becomes so easy, capturing one's attention within such a short while that it will feel truly unique and special. - Before I finish this review here.. I shall add that certain portions of text aren't properly translated, but that's less than say, twenty lines across the whole novel. In other words, those encounters will be met once in a blue moon. This review.. I'm not even sure if it's gonna be of any help to you between deciding whether to get the novel or not, seein' that it's become a pretty much yet another.. Eh, confusing mysterious detective essay of its own, but I can't help it. Expressing myself without the proper words, unfortunately also affected by the small vocabulary of mine, couldn't have felt any better. So, please do enjoy yourself reading through this otome masterpiece if you decide to go for it, and hang in there.. Some forces that are to make you all emotional are to be felt while reading this, and I have no doubt you're gonna love it. Have fun!

I love this game!! 🥹 - The voice acting is GREAT, not only the love interest ones, but all the characters too! To be honest, I bought this game just because I saw that Kenjiro Tsuda was voicing one of the LIs, heh. - The art is GORGEOUS; I couldn't help but screenshot every CG I saw even though all of them were in the gallery after seeing them once. - The soundtrack is good, but to me it wasn't memorable apart from the good ending song (絶えざる花 / MAKOTO), which I listened to way too much... - I liked the bad endings way more than the good endings (I yearn for angst) , because they were all GREAT and well written. Nightshade's story basically branches to two slightly different storylines ("a" and "b"), so my route order recommendation to avoid major spoilers is: a) GOEMON > HANZO > KUROYUKI b) CHOJIRO > GEKKAMARU And lastly, my thoughts about the routes without spoiling it too much: Hanzo's route: Slow burn and healthy relationship! What I like the most here is how both of them learn and grow with each other, all that made love flourish in their journey, making them better individuals. Enju's character development here was really good; this is the only route she fought and stood her ground; in the other routes she was just there to be protected by the LI. The way they fell in love with each other felt so natural, I loved it so much :> Goemon's route: Super fun, cute and wholesome! Goemon is too sweet, I felt warm and fuzzy inside and couldn't stop smiling at his good ending. I wasn't expecting much cuz flirty LI love interests aren't my first choice, but Goemon's actions made the romance in this route feel really mundane, I enjoyed it very much! Gekkamaru's route: Filled with angst and devotion. I felt so emotional throughout the whole route (I cried a lot) and by the ending, I just couldn't feel much, I was numb even to the good ending, which was bittersweet because of everything that happened. Everything was just so unfair. Kuroyuki's route: Yandere. I'm not into characters with this type of personality, but his background for explaining why he became obsessed with Enju is just tragic and well written, that made me sympathize with Kuroyuki. The route is very enjoyable and heartbreaking, it has a great finishing to one of the branching storylines. I especially liked his Bad Ending just because my heart was destroyed when I realized what was happening :') Chojiro's route: I don't know what to talk about this route, I do understand the struggles Chojiro went through, but I didn't sympathize with Chojiro at all, the story felt bland to me and I basically played through with my mind blank. I don't really know if this route didn't really add anything to the plot (apart from a bit of info on the other characters) or if it was because this was my last route. But yeah, this is the only route I didn't like playing.

A solid otome. The art is beautiful and the story-line was intriguing. I think it balances story and romance decently. However, I I liked some routes way more than others. l felt that in some routes the main story was dragged out and had unnecessary plot twists, adding a bit too much angst for my liking. But i thought the characters were very likable overall, and the story did keep my attention. My favorite routes were Hanzo and Goro.

I really enjoyed this otome. It's one of the better ones I've played imo. I'm not an otome connoisseur by any means, but I've played my fair share. Cons: 1. WHY DOESNT TOKUGAWA HAVE A ROUTE??? These devs really put this beautiful man in this game with the sweetest voice just to tease us. I played through all the routes and unlocked everything in the hopes it would unlock a Tokugawa route. Massive disappointment. 2. Writing: The MC is the typical lame damsel in distress the majority of the time. She has her moments of being a hard worker and sucking it up, but for the most part she's weak, in the way and winy. I dislike MC like this. I love being saved by a knight in shining armor as much as the next girl but I hate when the main character is a burden the whole time -_- 3. The choices don't really matter much. Either you pick the right one or you don't. Not much else to it. This is a minor con for me though, as I feel like most otome are like this. 4. A little uncomfy: (Trigger warning) Kuroyuki's route is a bit intense and really sad. I didn't dislike it. I like when games have dark/sad themes. But dude was just creepy imo. By far my least favorite route. Also, lots of age differences that could be potentially grooming? Idk I tried not to think about the older cousin thing too much with Chojiro lol. Or the fact that Hanzo is probably twice MC's age. Tbh Gekkamaru was the least problematic. So if you're sensitive to anything like that, just be aware. I still think the game was a lot of fun and this wasn't a big enough issue for me to not recommend the game. Pros: 1. Artwork is beautiful 2. Voice acting is impeccable. By far the best I've experienced playing an otome. Hanzo alone had me swooning fr 3. Writing: Each route is similar but different enough to make it worth playing them all imo. I also liked that this was pretty tame. Nothing spicy. I like a slow burn with low spice and that is also hard to find sometimes. 4. UI / options: The skip and quick save/load features are so good. A lot of these games don't implement them well or usefully so you still end up having to re-read stuff you don't want to and wasting a lot of time. After I finished the good endings for all the routes, I was able to plow through to the bad endings within an hour using these features. Overall I highly recommend the game if you like otome. I think Hanzo and Gekkamaru have the best routes, so if you only want to play a couple, I recommend those.

Excellent production with good art and story writing. The heroine was however very frustrating for me. The male characters really are the stars of the show.
