Alright time to don my anime glasses *ahem* anime_glasses Discord & Slack Emoji

In general I found this otome to be pretty entertaining despite it being only the alpha. Like many others before me have said already its very much so appreciated for the personality changes between the sun and moon arcana as I find it interesting to see how the dynamic shifts between the characters and the mc depending on which arcana is chosen. (And they so far feel all in character so mad probs to you) Oh yeah another appreciated aspect is having the option to choose whether to use Akira or Ren since different people prefer either one over the other (personally like Ren Amamiya because my mind immediately reads it as Ren Mamamiya and I can't help but chuckle)

Now to get into the specific routes themselves from the order I played them (I'll prolly write more when this gets updated):

  1. Akira/Ren (Moon route): This route generally gives off a pretty homey feel. Its very chill and I like that about it. (Its prolly also good for MC) I can already tell this route is going to be mostly adorable fluff. (I really don't have much else to say for this route even though I liked it lol but if this route has a bad end its gonna huuuuurt)
  2. Akechi (Moon route): Now to balance the scale from the adorableness of Moon Akira/Ren route we have THIS route oooo boy the warning was well warranted. Nothing like being held at gunpoint when all you wanted was to get on with your day😐.(Then again Mc might have jinxed it by lamenting their boredom) Anyways in the whole *ahem* interrogation sequence it seems like the best way to survive would be to ADAPT, IMPROVISE, OVERCOME and I'm guessing that's gonna be a consistent thing in this route. (I managed to go through this route unharmed the first time so....yay me???) Ooof well I definitely appreciate Moon Akira/Ren after this route.
  3. Ryuji (Moon route): Ryuji Ryuji Ryuji oh you wholesome dumb boy. Gotta say the knife threw me for a loop but I can see him pulling that kinda stuff. And lol Akira/Ren just showing up like "Am I interupting something?" was great.
  4. Akira/Ren (Sun route): Oh this route starts with a letter? Cool cool its different from the other routes. So I really like the little details in this route for example the little doodles on the side of letter like the rollercoaster when there is a section about MC having a rollercoaster of a life and later the city when there is a section about it. I don't know if the choices of paper and handwriting affects anything but even if its mostly just for flavor I like the addition of choices as it adds a personal touch to the letters.
  5. Akechi (Sun route): This route lol "Detective Princess Ecchi" Hahaha and his reaction it's great. (But yknow....Princess is fitting😂) Ok so first meeting by helping with fangirls cool cool. Ah I see MC keeps up with current celebrity news as much as I do which is to say barely to never. Lol the realization at the end with the "oh...huh....yeah I probably should start watching tv every now and then" was perfect. ......Akechi is gonna get most of the bad ends isn't he?

So in conclusion I liked it and I look forward to updates (particularly the Moon Ryuji route and Sun Akechi route those were fun) but I also want to mention to be sure to not overload yourself on this and to balance like the scales in the Justice Arcana.

Ohhhh anime glasses time! Let me put it on too *slides anime glasses over real glasses* anime_glasses Discord & Slack Emoji

Ngl at first the Moon/Sun arcana was actually just an excuse for me to write more P5 content but I'm so happy people appreciate having the option hehe I'm really glad you think everyone is in character so far, that makes me so happy!!! Ahh I see! I personally am used to Akira but Ren is such a nice name, so I thought hey, why not just let ppl choose what they like? :D

omg you played all the routes??? T-Thank you <3 That's so kind of you to check out everyone's routes!!

Akira/Ren (Moon route): omg YES the 'homey' and 'cozy' feel is what I wanted for this route and I'm so glad the player are getting this vibe too. And you're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, there's gonna be lots of fluff. A sprinkle of angst might be there, but I PROMISE there'll be more fluff to top that.

The bad end though.... Uh. Uhhhhhh... There's no other way to put this, so I'll just say it....... I want it to hurt c:

... LOL is that a bad thing to say? It might be, but angst feels SO GOOD when the journey there is a paved flowery road and it's bundled & wrapped oh so nicely in a colorful wrapping paper.... You know? You feel me? Am I weird? Maybe I am weird woopsies sorry guys you're stuck with me :p

Akechi (Moon route): ohhh you managed to do it well on your first playthrough?! That's awesome! Keep that attitude! If things goes as planned, this route will have specific sets of requirements to reach the good end, soooo yeah.... Look forward to that :D

Ryuji (Moon route): the first time I scripted in the knife scene it threw me off too, but seeing it plays out, it's definitely so Ryuji hahah Poor Akira/Ren is just there like 'uhhh wyd in my room?' XD

Akira/Ren (Sun route): Aaaaa you noticed the doodles!!! Yays!! Since he doodled in the calendar in the original game I thought it would be a nice addition if he does that too here! As of now the choices for paper and handwriting doesn't really affect the story, but I just thought it would be nice if the player's personality can shine through those ^^

Akechi (Sun route): Detective Princess Ecchi heheheh omg sometimes I feel like I went a little too crazy on this first scene but I'm glad people took it positively lol

This was really fun and encouraging to read, thank you! <3 We'll try to balance the scales to avoid burn out, for sure c:

Hahaha I kinda get it with the angst thing. Its like eating spicy food (ones filled with peppercorn, and chilli). It hurts but its also reaally good when prepared a certain way. (or maybe I'm just a masochist lol) And yes I did play through all the routes (I am somewhat of a completionist)
