Top 10 VN Men
Ages ago @violettduchess posted her Top 10 VN datemates who happened to be men. This seemed fun, so let's give it awhirl!
I will, of course, break the rules. Instead of numbering 1 to 10, I'll choose one man from each visual novel I've played or stalked hard enough that it's like I've played. So, with no order in my heart ~
The Arcana: Muriel
I surprised myself here. I like Julian quite a lot. However, I actually enjoyed his route less once I went back and bought the paywalled scenes (how???). For Muriel, it was the reverse: during my initial read, I was exasperated with him. After reading all the paywalled scenes, his character growth grew on me, and gentle mountain man edges out Julian in my affections. By a cat hair lol.
Fictif: Rainier from Monster Manor
This was also a hard choice because I like Jesse Rodriguez so much y'all. However, Rainier's character arc, his bubbly positivity, his looks, his concept--SO GOOD Y'ALL.
Alice in the Country of Hearts: Julius Monrey
Whooooooa. Shock. Appalled. Who could have seen this coming. I also like Boris and Elliot. I'm watching a Let's Play of Blood's route right now, and he's growing on me. The manga really did him dirty.
Ikemen Revolution: Loki Genetta
I love Loki's sunshine! Reading his route was like settling into a bath, into that easy, warm time-flow of happiness. Also. His eyes turn red and he can obliterate people.
Ikemen Vampire: William Shakespeare
Billy Shakes is like, a nanosecond behind Jean. I love his words, I love his journey; I love MC being his morality pet. I had a blast with his route and took soooooo many screenshots.
Lovelink: Min-Jae Lee
Lovelink isn't my favorite app out there, mostly because the MC drives me up the wall. Routes can be touch and go. But with Min-Jae, something fucking CLICKED. Despite not accessing any paywalled content, he constantly emoji-reacted to my responses. His story was a thoughtful and compelling look into a K-Pop star's life: both the massive perks and the massive toxicity in that space. I definitely rec'd his route, or that of his counterpart, Liam Park.
Lovestruck: Iseul Idreis
my MANS. This CG was my phone wallpaper for a HOT minute.
Maybe: Interactive Stories - Logan Harris
Again, such a shock. I will get back to my fanfic of them eventually! Special shout outs: Noah Young, Enoch, Ambrose + Trevor
Nekopara Catboy Paradise - Laurier
He's a cat, he's a boy, he snuggles MC every night and yanno that met all my requirements.
Rose of Winter - Crow
This entry accesses the Deep Lore. Rose of Winter was the first visual novel I played. Ever. Not only is Crow a kind, time-traveling wizard (cool bird included), but also the first route I got a Good Ending. Nowadays, I follow walkthroughs 90% of the time, because I play for a happy time, not a sad time. When I played Rose of Winter, I didn't know VNs had different endings. I played the other 3 routes, and the LIs kept leaving. The joy I felt when Crow returned Rosemary's affections! When they tromped off in the sunset together! I was so happy. I never went back to get his Bad Ending, even though there's an achievement for it. I love him. I love them.
What have we learned in this post? We have learned that I like catboys, queerness, and time-travelers. Also, I can't play any more VNs because it would ruin the perfect 10 number these guys fit in 😂

L&L MC! You know what you should play with the peoples from your game? Fuck Marry Kill! August would explode and we all love to see that
“The rest of our party is away on a mission, but Iseul had free time to spare!” [shoulder bumps him] “I will begin! So where might I fall on this list?”
“Wait… that’s not how you pla-“
[Everyone says “Wed”, as Altea smiles widely at the admissions]
“I dare ask, what might you all consider me?”
[Everyone agrees on different versions of sexual relations with her, as Helena blushes furiously]
‘Not so long ago, we all would have ventured towards “Slay”. Presently, I cannot deny your feline-like tendencies and feminine curvatures.’ [He winks at her, making Helena blush again]
‘I am aware of Altea & Helena fancying the lasses, so I take no wound or ill will at not being in their “Bed” or “Wed” categories. MC, I think, would have me either way.’ [looks her over slowly, smiling smugly when he reaches her face] “And I would gladly oblige, Milady.”
[blushes and coughs once, before speaking] “Thanks, I… um… I’m sure it’s just you that feels that way though.” [looks at the other women to confirm]
[Altea shakes her head while blushing a little, while Helena locks eyes and also shakes her head, agreeing with Iseul instead]
[goes wide eyed and blushes harder, desperate to get the attention off of her] “Altea said she would totally do your Mom, Iseul!”
“Leave Mother out of this folly, or I shall leave henceforth!” [tosses pillows, booing at MC, while everyone laughs]
“MC!!” [blushes and clears throat] ‘Be that as it may, all accounted for fall into “Wed” and/or… “Bed” columns. But who, pray tell, might we “Slay” then?’
[All of them at the exact same time] “The Witch Queen.”
[sneezes] “Why do I feel that I am the subject of someone’s jest somewhere.” [narrows eyes disdainfully]

My final status. I'm not surprised Piama is first, she is my beloved after all! Same with Iseul and Liora, I love them so much! I will sincerely miss them!
