Started playing this coz Alice reminds me of Scara from genshin hahah. So im pleasantly surprised that other love interests like Red, Snow White and Kaguya etc are interesting as well. I had quite a lot of fun especially in Red's route! It is pretty long winded and wordy, some concepts feel quite outdated and stuff. But overall, its packed with humour, love and filled with various emotions. Our mc helps the love interests to tackle their different flaws or problems. MC is more of a giver in this, she does joke around and stuff but she feels more like a caring mother towards the li which i find funny. She does have a more dominant personality but idk its a pretty typical asian mom kind of feel (she cooks alot, and cares for other constantly, kinda like Tohru from fruits basket but a more outgoing version). Side characters are few and they arent exactly fleshed out but they are definitely loveable. im a sucker for these fairytale twists and stuff, this game felt whimsical and beautiful from start to finish (definitely had silly moments and parts where i rolled my eyes but most otomes do) Cinderella Route: I found myself skipping mostly coz i felt points that were already talked about were being talked about again and again. Felt repetitive at times. Cinderella is a kinda nice guy i guess, i didnt really find myself liking him thatttt much, tho his backstory and all that make me understand him a bit more. I only started liking him slowly maybe towards the end. I liked the relationships he had with his brothers and all Red Route: I just finished his route and i gotta admit that i really liked it! I went in blind, didnt know anything about him but both him and the plot were pretty interesting! I did figure out most of the plot twists quite early but it was still fun. I did laugh alot at his cute side and i also cried a few times and i really felt for all the characters in the story. I liked it Alice: His route is not now but i just wanna give a shoutout to my best boy muah (please dont smack me Alice TT) Ive only played episode 1 so i dont know whats gonna happen afterwards. Overall i enjoyed it! Not sure why i yapped so much here TT

Overall, it’s a really great game, but there are a few things that bug me—mainly the heroine’s dialogue. I’m not sure why the localization team chose to sprinkle in random Japanese romaji like tasukete or sono toori mid-sentence. I understand it’s a Japanese game originally, but I personally prefer a full English translation without the unnecessary romaji. It just feels out of place and disrupts the flow. Then there’s her obsession with finger guns. Once or twice would’ve been fine, even quirky. But when it’s repeated so many times, it starts to feel forced and a little annoying. Maybe it’s just me—but as someone who isn’t overly upbeat, I sometimes feel like the heroine is overreacting in situations where a calmer response would make more sense. Her energy feels a bit too much at times, almost overbearing. That being said, the game excels in many other areas. The background music is beautiful, and the storyline is compelling. I especially appreciate the auto-save feature at every choice point—it’s incredibly helpful for avoiding bad endings or for those trying to unlock all the routes. Just jump into the auto-save menu, and you’re good to go. On a side note, Cinderella’s route has quite a few translation issues. Ironically, in sections where Japanese names should’ve been preserved—like when Alice gives names to Arisu—we instead get random English names like Jordan or Casey, instead of something more culturally appropriate like Nagisa or Makoto. Yet, in scenes where romaji isn’t needed at all, the translation unnecessarily throws it in. As I mentioned before, I’m not a fan of the heroine’s personality. She often comes off as overly assertive and self-important. Personally, I prefer heroines who are more soft-spoken, adorably clueless, and modest.

༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶ I ADORE this game! Especially the opening song! In this game, you get to choose between Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella as love interests, and they have so much character, unlike other otome games I have played! So much depth in these characters it is incredible. The music, the art, the voice acting: chef kiss! This is definitely one of my favourite otome games. I look forward to the rest of the games :D

Taisho x Alice is one of the best otome VNs I've ever played in my entire life ever because of the amazing story, characters, voice-acting, music, art-- everything. If you are interested to know what this game is about I'm afraid you won't get the answer immediately in the first two routes however, in the upcoming episodes the story gets much darker and you will uncover the truth about the whole story. I've reread this story at least 4 times now and my advice for new readers, you should keep in mind for some of the lines they said and I suggest getting the bad endings as well.

A refreshing FL, pretty art, amazing voice acting, pretty good en translation and interesting storyline that actually make me sympathetic for both of the ML here. I really like the way FL of this game respond to the characters, the way the interaction goes is actually really good. I like the Red Riding Hood's route more eventho i dont quite like the decision that the FL made.
