Hello! So I haven't done Rayvis's route yet but I'm intrigued by his birthday stories. What are your thoughts on him? And have you bought the stories and if so are they any good? Thanks!

Hello, Precious!

If you’re not aiming for the bonus items in Rayvis’ Birthday Kiss by buying both sets:

which are separate from his birthday story event, you may wish to save money by not purchasing the Classic Celebration set:

The stories included in that set are short, neither has a title card, and the information can be gleaned from the birthday event, which is free.

It’s one of those sets where you’re really buying it for the avatar items it comes with, and the story is a nice bonus. In contrast, the Elegant Celebration set comes with a longer story, a mini story, premium attire and a CG.

I’ve talked briefly about my thoughts on Rayvis here and here, and Rayvis bulldozed his way into my harem’s top tier almost immediately.

Rayvis knows what he wants and how to get it, but he’s also got a good amount of charm without the over-confident jerkiness that sometimes accompanies a trait like that. Because Rayvis is a stoic character, the times where he’s boyishly innocent are that much cuter.

Rayvis wears a lot of hats as a character who is touchy-feely but respectful and gentle, stand-offish but desiring human connection, aloof but quick to accept his own short-comings and properly apologize, romantically and sexually direct but not pushy, hard-working but always wants the princess to take a break and relax, etc.

I haven’t seen a Rayvis story yet that I didn’t find satisfying, and if you like no-nonsense characters who are adaptable, earnest, straight-forward and hard-working, then Rayvis is for you.

Rayvis and his kinks get me EVERYTIME

Apparently Rayvis likes a little bit of pain, like DtL’s Haru does:

The actual story says “arms,” but the sentiment expressed by both Rayvis and Princess is the same (Rayvis wants it, but Princess says that she doesn’t want to hurt him) as if it is “hands,” like in the preview, which makes more sense.

Also:

They gave Rayvis a good amount of range– he reminds me of so many different Cybird characters!

Rayvis won’t even let you get four full pages into the birthday preview, before he throws his kinks caution to the wind, without a stitch on:

Do you have a mobile Masterlist?

Hello, Precious! Yes, I do!

Here you go!

hi Amalthea 😊 how would you choose which epilogues to get for the current ES? I always get Hideyoshi's epilogue for the second batch of lords, though Inuchiyo's ES seems like it'll have a really great epilogue (and with yukimura's pov) so I'm now torn between the two 😕 trying to save pearls for Shigezane's route so I'm in a bit of a pickle

Hello, Precious!I always buy my favorites, so if Hideyoshi is one of yours, purchase it id you think you will regret not doing so. 

If you have the coins, slide on over to the Castle Lottery and greet your allies for a chance to win some more pearls.Unless you have to have Shigezane’s portraits right when his route comes out, you can always double dip his route and use your pearls on his Premium attire the second go-round, since the epilogues are on a timer and the portraits aren’t.

I’m not sure what promos there will be, but it’s usually related to how many tickets you can use in a certain time period, rather than using pearls.

Right now, you can only use pearls to buy tickets with Masamune and Kojuro’s promo.

I’ve only bought Ieyasu’s epilogue so far, because I haven’t been well, but I enjoyed the insight on Yasu from another character’s perspective, and thought it was pearls well-spent.

Have you seen the new IkeSen previews for the PS Vita? There's one video for nearly each character and fully voiced. Hearing Shingen and Kenshin's battle cries is so cool!

I just saw! I didn’t know the lords blink and their mouths move, too! 

I’m telling you, I can’t if Nobunaga and Kenshin are going to talk to me the entire game with those voices-- I love it! 

No wonder there’s no Mitsuhide route, yet. Players would faint!

[oh-my-otome]

Hi. Since it's already past Mitsunari's birthday and the only thing they had was the new lottery does that mean you can't buy the old ones? Thanks.

Hello, Precious!I was also looking forward to the old stories, so maybe they will have them next year. I’m not sure why they weren’t around for new players and old players who didn’t or couldn’t buy them last year.

[oh-my-otome]

Just dropping in here to tell you that you are awesome and I enjoy your blog! That Midcin culture response to that salty anon was beautiful and made my day. XD

Hello, Jane!

I’m glad that I could brighten your day! Also, thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us!

Hi! For MidCin how easy is it to come by new backgrounds for your avatar or how often do they sell some? Thanks.

Hello, Precious!

You can get a free wallpaper for your Room by completing any suitor’s Secret or Ever After route, playing the Garden Gacha, or by full-clearing an event.

Currently, these are the ones available for sale (Rayvis’ coming Sunday) in the Side Story Archive:

Lake Full of Memories is for the Garden:

@rizosrojizos I was tired just watching them put on the first layer. I remember reading about all of the outfit changes that a socialite Victorian woman would go through in a day, can you imagine?

All of the times they say “for warmth” got a giggle out of me. It’s the original hundred layer challenge, who would be cold? :)

How I imagine Princess from MidCin. @oh-my-otome

[oh-my-otome]

Oh, sorry, I meant that personality things can be hard to change later on in life (coming from someone who is a "young adult" herself). I actually was mostly referring to your crybaby comment, but I guess my ask was also commenting on the fiddling with her skirt thing unintentionally. I guess I mean that I think they make it seem like it's hard for her to mask those emotions because she's only very recently been taught to (try) to mask them. And -that- makes her seem more realistic to me? 😅

Oh, now I see what you’re saying! 

I agree that it’s realistic to have someone, who is suddenly thrown into a position like that, wig the heck out when the going gets tough!

And what we see in the game is that a suitor will step in and lend support. We even see the princess successfully mask her emotions like in Rayvis’, Louis’ and Sid’s routes.

There are also times in the game where we see the princess do the opposite and get emotional for the sake of saving another, like in Leo’s Honey route.

I just wish that the princess would get a reality check when she wants to do something ridiculous. That would be a nice bit of realism as well.

A good ol’ fashioned ‘we get it, you’re freaking out, but you’re still the wheel that steers the future of this country, so pull it together because we’ve got your back’ kind of talk.

It would be great to see the princess say that she needs more than the occasional day off to clear her head, or something.

When the princess does an about-face on her character development, though, and situationally “doesn’t” know what to do (after we’ve read over and over that she’s working hard to keep up), or does something dumb for no good reason (Rayvis’ Sugar route, looking at you)– that’s the crybaby stuff I’m talking about, and that’s where, for me, the derpiness is so distracting that any realism seems watered down by comparison.

Hello! I finished both Alyn and Leo's route but I can't remember why they avoid each other or why is Alyn always annoyed with him. One would think they would bond ever more after the loss of their parents, no?

Hello, Precious!

Maybe @lustfullyleocrawford can help, because the only thing I remember was something about Leo not being a knight anymore??

Hi! I wanted to ask you, how long does it take to complete a route in IkeSen and slbp?

Hello, Precious!

If you use only the free tickets that you get every day, it takes 27 days to finish a route in IkeSen.

In SLBP, if you start from Episode 1, it takes 28 days. If you start from Episode 4, it takes 22 days. Act 2 routes take 16 days, not counting their endings.

Hi! I have a question about the Drunk On Your Love event in Ikémen Sengoku. If you choose an ending, will there appear more love challenges? Or will they not appear anymore once you read an ending?

Hello, Sophia!

Yes, there are still Love Challenges in both the Premium and Sweet endings, even if you re-read an event route!
