Time limit premise in Ikemen series... and why Vamp is the worst in that sense
Don't misunderstand, I really like Vamp and this has nothing to do with my personal likes.
So the setting of each Ikeseries game from Cybird is like this
Sen: MC who time traveled, 3 month time limit
Rev: MC who went to another world, 1 month limit
Vamp: MC who time traveled, 1 month time limit
Ĺive: MC who was living in that world, no time limit
Gen: MC who was living in that world, no time limit
Pri: MC who was living in that world, 1 month time limit
Vil: MC who was living in that world, 1 month time limit
And among these, the one that this time limit premise is done in the poorest way is Vamp.
This is mostly because MC has only a month(or two, in the later routes but still) and once she leaves she can never come back.
Well, ok you could fall in love in a month, that's acceptable, but giving up your whole life in 21st century for the dude who you've only known for a month? To make matters worse, this MC is good at speaking multiple languages but it's just necessary for everyday life, not like it helps her significantly or makes her a job. The only thing she does in 19th century France is to do chores with Sebastian. I mean, of course that's an important work, yes, but... it has nothing to do with her specialties or dreams or anything. In the worst case scenario if she breaks up with the dude, her choice to be with him leaves her nothing. She just wasted her time doing chores in the random mansion.
At least Sen MC has 3 months, which is absolutely better than one, and she actually has a proper job to do with her specialty in that timeline.
Rev MC is from another world but going back and forth between her world and the guy's isn't very much of a big deal compared to Sen or Vamp. Just wait for a month and she could always go to another world and vice versa.
Live and Gen MCs are in the same world with the guys and don't have any kind of time limit so they have nothing to be bothered.
Pri and Vil MCs have 1 month time limit, but still they're in the same world with the guys so they could always meet even after the deadline, if they really wanted to.
But Vamp MC only has 1 month, and she'll never see the guys again once she leaves that timeline. So she's like "Oh I love him so much, I don't wanna leave him" but 1 month is not enough time to decide whether you could give up all you had including careers, dreams, family and become the housekeeper only for the sake of love.
And this isn't Cybird's game, but Court of Darkness from Voltage has a similar setting, MC going to another world(without the time limit). And at least this MC is an orphan and she mentioned herself that no one will be there for her even if she went back. So it's more acceptable that she chose life in new world, since it's pretty much indicated that she doesn't have much attachment to her previous world.
But Vamp MC? She has family. She has friends. She has job. Why in the world would she abandon all those just for a guy she had just met.

Hey friends!
So I recently saw @katriniac's cool post about doing an ikemen tier list! I wanted to do one myself, but I noticed there weren't any completed ones. Like she said, the one she posted was the most complete one, but even that left out some dudes that I like. SO.
I made one. :D
And here's my list as of right now!
Tumblr media
❤️ These are the dudes that I adore with my entire being. I enjoyed their routes and I also always want to read their stories. I admittedly simp for them super hard lol I put Nobunaga first because he def is still my top fave~ Keith is up there because I'm lowkey simping even if I don't really know him yet. (that voice tho)
🧡 This next category is for the dudes who I really, really adore. They're not the best of the best for me, but I still love em!
🧡 the "baby" category refers to the boys who are so super cute to me. Can either find them attractive or see them as just guys who need protected
💛 this is the tier for guys who are just ok. I find them attractive but can either take or leave them.
💚 this tier is for guys that I see more as a pal or bro. Don't see them in a romantic way
💚 I don't hate these guys. They're just whatever.
💙 don't really like these guys
💙 I don't know these guys / haven't played their games
💜 don't know these guys / haven't played their games but they look good ~
And that’s that! :D

Amamiya Henri Main Story — Chapter 14
Tumblr media
I do not own any of the Ikemen Series content being uploaded on this blog, everything belongs to CYBIRD. Please support them by downloading and playing their games.
read this before interacting with my posts
Kanade: He would always step away and watch us from the sidelines.
Kanade: It’s as if he’s putting himself in the audience's shoes.
Kanade: That bad habit of his has stuck with him from those days, all the way until now.
MC: Oh gosh…
I gasped when I heard Kanade’s words.
(As expected, Kanade is aware of it too.)
== Flashback Start ==
Henri: Especially in high school, where I met Kanade and Kyoichiro.
Henri: I realized that no amount of hard work can make me on the same level as geniuses.
Henri: Up till then, I’ve been doing everything without really trying, so I can just continue doing so.
Henri: That’s what I told myself.
Henri: But I knew deep down that it was because I didn't want to hurt myself.
== Flashback End ==
I was thinking about what Henri said to me at the cafe, and…
MC: Um.
I looked up at the two of them.
I was about to ask what they felt about that, when—
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Henri: Oh? MC is here too.
I turned around when I heard the living room door open, and saw Henri.
MC: Yeah. Kyoichiro invited me.
Henri: Eh— but you turned me down when I invited you—
Henri smiled and plopped down right next to me, as if that were the most natural thing to do.
Maybe it was his shampoo, but a sweet and refreshing smell coming from Henri’s hair wafted into my nose.
Henri: What were you guys talking about?
MC: Uhm, I was listening to stories about the three of you during your high school days.
Even while responding to his question, I was still feeling nervous because not only could I smell him, the distance between our thighs was so small that they were almost touching.
(Henri is sitting so close to me…)
As I gripped my hands tightly and placed them on my lap, Henri didn’t notice my reaction and continued talking.
Henri: You mean stories like the one about the legendary King Kanade who controlled the entire school, from its student council, all the way to even its teachers?
Henri: Or the one about a fight amongst the male students over Kyoichiro—
Kyoichiro: … Hey. How come I don't know about that one?
Kyoichiro raised his eyebrows, and Henri grinned happily.
Henri: Eh— the sports club and culture club were competing over who got to have you in their club.
Henri moved his face closer to me and whispered in my ear.
Tumblr media
Henri: I’m not exaggerating, you know? It's a true story.
MC: O-Oh.
I felt a sweet ticklish feeling radiating through my body from my ear, when…
Kyoichiro: Henri. Instead of talking about other people, why don't you talk about yourself?
Kyoichiro said with a sigh.
Henri: Uhhh I don’t have a “legacy” like the two of you, so my stories are boring.
Kyoichiro: … You’re always saying that.
Kanade: Hm.
Henri then turned to me and spoke.
Henri: MC, are you… interested in hearing my stories?
MC: Yes! Of course.
Seeing my enthusiastic response, Henri’s face instantly lit up.
Henri: Got it~ Ah, but I genuinely have nothing much to share.
Henri: Hmm well then, a long time ago, I…
I felt my heart beating faster and faster as I listened to him.
(It could be because I’ve been drinking, but I'm being more aware about the close distance between us than usual…)
I couldn't seem to get used to the lack of distance between our thighs and shoulders.
(I should move away a little.)
Kyoichiro chuckled while listening to Henri’s story.
Kyoichiro: You’re the one who had lots of friends, Henri. Both guy friends and girl friends.
Henri: Ah— I wanted to make 100 friends in high school and eat onigiri at the top of Mt. Fuji with them.
Kanade: Mt. Fuji? What are you talking about?
Henri: Ehh— Kanade, you haven't heard this one before?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kyoichiro: It's the lyrics of a childrens’ song.
Kanade: I see. Sing that childrens’ song for us, Henri.
Henri: Now!? I don't want to. Kyoichiro should sing it!
While listening to their lively conversations, I sipped the alcohol Kyoichiro poured me.
The three were chatting happily about their high school days.
(It feels great… listening to everyone’s stories about Henri like this.)
(I want to hear more!)
My heart was pounding with excitement, and the alcohol tasted better than usual.
Just like that, it was getting late into the night…
I was struggling to keep my eyes open.
Kyoichiro: Stop leaning on me, Kanade. Hey.
Kanade: … I’m not leaning on you.
Kanade’s groans and Kyoichiro nagging as he looked after a drunk Kanade could be heard in the distance.
(This isn't good… I’m getting sleepy.)
When my body started to incline and I was about to knock out…
Henri: Heeyy, MC.
MC: Mm… oh.
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw that Henri’s face was right in front of mine.
Henri: Are you sleepy?
MC: … No. I’m fine.
I quickly looked up and shook my head.
Henri: Eh—? Really? I thought you looked like you were about to fall asleep.
MC: Uh…
(I think I had too much to drink.)
Kyoichiro: Leave the tidying up to me, Henri. You too, Kanade.
Henri: Okay~
Henri responded cheerfully, reached his hand out towards me, and…
MC: Oh! Wah!
I exclaimed in a small voice when my body, which had been seated on the sofa just a second ago, was now in the air.
MC: What!?
All of a sudden, I was being carried in Henri’s arms.
(Is this a princess carry…!?)
Henri: I’ll carry you like this, princess.
MC: P-Princess!? Please put me down, I’m heavy.
Henri: Haha! It’s fine, it’s fine~
Just like how we helped the lost girl earlier in the day, Henri started walking with me in his arms.
(Is Henri drunk too!?)
No matter how many times I told him “put me down”, he would only respond with a smile.
I ended up being carried back to my room.
Henri opened the door to my room and entered.
He then gently lowered me onto my bed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Henri: We’re here!
I heard the sound of the bed creaking.
While laying down, I looked up at Henri.
Henri: Hm?
MC: … I was woken up by you.
Henri: Haha
Disregarding what I said, Henri sat down at the edge of my bed and reached his hand out.
He gently caressed my forehead and spoke.
Henri: Do you need a lullaby?
Henri: Should I call Kanade over?
MC: N-No, thank you. … I can’t ask for such luxury.
Henri: That’s a luxury indeed.
Henri gave me a small smile and his fingers stopped moving.
He rested his hand on my temple.
The lingering feeling of his touch made me nearly forget how to breathe.
(This is so embarrassing and my heart is going crazy… )
After staring at each other in silence for a while, I heard the bed creak again.
Henri: Good night, MC.
Just as Henri was about to leave my room, I…
MC: … Wait.
Henri stopped in his tracks when I called out to him.
Henri: Yeah?
Henri’s voice sounded more gentle than usual, it felt pampering to hear.
He slowly walked back to me and looked into my face.
Henri: What’s up, MC?
MC: Henri… um…
Henri: Hmm?
MC: … You shouldn't… be so nice.
I told him my most honest words.
Henri: Why?
MC: I might get the wrong idea.
Henri: … Oh.
I heard Henri chuckle.
(I have more to say, but I’m so sleepy… I don't think I can keep my eyes open.)
My eyelids became half closed, and I could see Henri reaching his hand towards me again.
His fingers touched my forehead like he did just now, and…
(... Ah.)
Something softer than his fingers touched my forehead.
Henri: That's fine with me.
Henri muttered and pulled away, then he got off my bed again.
Henri: Good night.
He turned my room’s lights off and closed the door behind him as he left.
(What was that?)
(That felt like a forehead kiss.)
I vaguely remembered that soft touch on my forehead.
I wanted to remember it even more clearly, but the drowsiness got to me and my eyelids grew heavy.
(Maybe I’m imagining things.)
This time, I fell asleep and entered dreamland…—
When I woke up the next morning, I took a quick shower in my room’s attached bathroom.
I looked at the bright sun from my window while toweling my hair dry.
(I spent the whole day going on a date with Henri yesterday, and drank with everyone in SilverVine.)
(And…)
== Flashback Start ==
MC: I might get the wrong idea.
Henri: That's fine with me.
== Flashback End ==
MC: …!?
(W-What!?)
My heart started hammering hard against my chest the moment I recalled those word that sounded so sweet like honey.
(T-That was a dream, right? Those words.)
(Don’t tell me that you're fine with me getting the wrong idea.)
I changed my clothes and headed to the living room to calm myself down.
Henri had just finished his breakfast and was about to leave for work.
Tumblr media
Henri: Oh. Good morning, MC.
MC: Good morning.
He was wearing his usual smile, but I briefly saw his facial expression stiffen.
(I knew it. That was just a dream.)
I kept trying to convince myself that it was just a dream, but I couldn't help looking away awkwardly…
MC: … Wah.
Henri suddenly touched my forehead.
I turned to look at him in surprise, and our eyes met.
His gaze that seemed to contain a hidden passion burning behind those eyes took my breath away.
(H-Huh…!?)
While I was stuck at a loss for words, Henri smiled.
Henri: I’ll get going now.

I know some people are going to argue about me putting ikegen in every where but listen....do you think Cybird would take a bold move and produce something different in the future?
Let be honest here. No hate no bias. Ikesen, Ikerev and Ikevamp all have similar base story but in different setting.
Ikesen: Sengoku setting
Ikerev: Alternate magical London
Ikevamp: 19th Century Paris....or is it 18th?
And all the three titles have two things in common: 1. A MC who is from a different timeline/universe and, 2. Time limit. When I played these three games, I didn't care much about these two things because I was still relatively new to the Ikemen series. But later I got tired of the Time limit bullshit condition because it just feels forced and I don't think two people will fall deeply in love in just one month. (hey at least ikesen had 3 months). Some players had their problems with this setting but overall everyone enjoyed it because this is what cybird was mainly known for? Cybird trope.
The next two titles, Ikelive and Ikegen, brought changes. MC is from the same time line as the male characters and there is no time limit. This brings a breath of fresh air as the MCs can take their sweet time to understand and be friends with everyone and also she doesn't have to worry about whether she could stay with the male lead or not (because there are no bad endings). So the main focus of the story can be something else. But unfortunately Ikelive ended before it could even celebrate its 1st year Anniversary and Ikegen....well...at least it was on life support for 4 years, right? IDK much about Ikelive, but people loved Ikegen because it was something different from the regular Cybird games.
Next are, Ikepri and Ikevil, probably the most successful games after Ikesen. I feel like Ikesen, brought them success and Ikepri and Ikevil are the current most successful games. Ikepri...let just accept it, it really benefited because of covid and it was a fresh game at that time so everyone was excited including me. Ikevil well, again it's still relatively new. Both these games have MCs from the same timeline but they did kept the annoying 'time limit' aspect. When I saw that, I was like 'why?' because I thought Cybird is making changes. You know, bringing something new and fresh and bold. I really hoped that both the games contained the ridiculous, brain-dead and nonsensical humor of Ikegen for fun but no. Both games are good on their own and players are enjoying it. Good!
But, after seeing what happened to Ikerev, Ikelive and Ikegen, do you think Cybird would try and do something bold like Ikegen in the future thinking that it won't be successful? Or do you think they'll slowly go back to being the old cybird, where their next game will have MC from a different time line and there will be time-limits in their story lines?
Also Ikevamp fans....giving you guys a heads up, because it seems like you're going to be the next target...

MC: Like what?
Dazai: Anything factually incorrect.
MC, shrugging: If you say so.
