Taking a break from long otome, so I’m probably going to play some short stuff on I saved as “play later” on my itch.io collection. But once I finish the break, the next thing on my backlog is either Variable Barricade or Piofiore, can’t pick between them.

I like the artstyle of VariBari, and I generally like lighthearted things. I hear it veers into drama later on, which I’m also cool with. And it sounds like I’ll really like the main character Hibari. From what I recall, I think she’s somewhat tsundere or does denial of feelings, and she’s not the typical “everygirl loser who sucks at school/her job” but is actually a model popular student or something.

As for Piofiore, it’s not my usual cup of tea at all. But I know the general idea of all the dark stuff so I’m prepared for it. I’m really just there for hot side character Roberto.

    Reading the Aslan DLC for Love Spell, but really wanting a darker more interactive story. It feels like a kinetic novel at this point. But I want to mark it off my list.

    I read the openings for both Collar X Malice and Code: Realize last night to see which one attracted me more first. Code Realize seems more like what I’m in the mood for, protagonist wise, but the first Love Interest I met seems like a rolling eyes moment (Lupin) CxM had a protagonist introduced as having problems with telling people no and also a pretty contrived modern world situation.

    When I looked into Variable barricade it seemed like it was just… a rich 17 year old ordered by rich grandpa to live in mansion with 4 other dudes and pick a husband. And they’re all way older so it just sounded not ideal. Did it turn out better than I thought?
