[18+] NEKOPARA vol.1 | Review and quick plot summary

Long time no blog... I haven't had much time to read VN's lately because I became addicted to Final Fantasy XIV. My parents also really want me to find a boyfriend if anybody makes 6 figures and is interested. Anyways, this one only took like a day or two to read so I'll blog about it. I don't know how we got here.

NEKOPARA Vol. 1

Creator: NEKOWORKs

Released in 2014

In a world where science has progressed, mankind have genetically engineered real life catgirls to fulfill an unforeseen public demand for high maintenance ethically questionable pets... Regardless of the details, some guy named Kashou runs away from home to become a baker, but unbeknownst to him, his two pet catgirls decide to follow... And before you ask, yes he will be having sex with them. 

There are multiple volumes, but so far I have only read this first one. The game's R18 content is purchased separately but of course I had to get it to make a fair review of the experience as intended. Totally. I read the Steam version in English.

Witch on the Holy Night | Review and plot dump

Of course I got this game. For once in a long time I'm reviewing a game I read in English [flushed emoji] if I have the choice I will always go for my native language because I'm a lazy piece of shit. On that note I'll include how I felt about the translation in my review as well.

Mahoutsukai no Yoru | Witch on the Holy Night
literal tl: night of the magician(s)

Creator: TYPE-MOON

Released in 2022
(Original game released in 2012 and this is an HD improved rerelease)

Aozaki Aoko lives a normal life as a perfect, hot, smart, and widely recognized high school student council president while also moonlighting as the teenage heir to her family's wizardry practice. After her homeroom teacher forces her to become the personal tour guide for a transfer student that has been living under a rock in the deep mountains his entire life, how is she going to juggle that alongside with doing all her wizard bullshit on the downlow?

This story is one of Nasu's earlier thought up stories and takes place as a sort of prequel to all the fate/tsukihime bullshit. Has nothing directly to do with any of those, but acts as a sort of window to more lore and magical nonsense that goes on in Nasu's Grand Plan.

Never7 -the end of infinity- | Review + plotdump

 Howdy kids. Anyways I was reminiscing about Zero escape and remembered that I had yet to read the infinity series which is also apparently written by Uchikoshi. So here we are. I heard Ever17 is the best one, but I'm stupid so I decided to read this one first because it came first.

Never7

-the end of infinity-

Developer: KID 

(main scenario by Uchikoshi Kotaro)

Released in 2000

The first part of the infinity series trilogy.

It's summer of 2019, and young college student Makoto is forced to attend a 'Seminar Camp' by his school, where he not only gets stuck in a time loop but also has bizarre dreams of a mysterious bell accompanied by somebody's death... Can he get out? And more importantly, can he land a hot girlfriend while he's at it?

Just to let you know before you get any big ideas, I didn't find this VN very good, so if you like it please don't read this post.

Tsukihime Remake | review + plotdump

 After 3000 years the waits finally over.... Tsukihime.. is here.. Now is it actually as good as all the gamers say it is is the real question.

Tsukihime
-A piece of glass blue moon-

Creator: TYPE-MOON
Released in 2021

Tohno Shiki is your average plain glasses wearing guy, doing his best to live a very regular and bland life regardless of the fact that he's the only son of an uber rich mega family and also can kill anything he touches if he wanted to (long story). But being boring wasn't in the cards for young Shiki, and his life is turned upside down after his bro-con sister, nuns, and also vampires suddenly enter his life...or is it he who entered their lives...

[18+] Slow Damage | Review + plot dump

[Updated 6/15/22 with some new tidbits at the end] 

It's time. 9 years have passed since n+c's last game, but finally our time has come in this year of 2021. Chiral's new yaoi... is here. As soon as I started, I could not stop.... It took me 9 days to read and another couple days to write this post.. and now ... we are here....

Towa chilling with his paints

Slow Damage

creator: Nitro+CHiRAL

released in 2021

Towa is a pain fetishist who also likes to paint after getting inspired from his wild near death experiences with unhinged people. You could really say he puts the pain in paint. A boy covered in scars, who finds a deep interest in looking into the 'scars' and 'wounds' of others...

This isn't a BL (boy's love) game, it's a BL (boy's lust) game. Okay jk it's a bitch's lobotomy game and I'm the bitch.
