Summer is the best thing to ever happen to mankind. 
Trips to the beach, ice cream dates, late night drives, house parties, the list goes on and on. And who else to spend it with? Of course, your one and only best friend and neighbour since you were four years old, Jake Sim.
Every summer was practically filled with him and him only. Ever since you were kids, you did everything together. Writing up lists and going on adventures, spending nights watching movies et cetera. But this summer, it seemed … different.
Maybe it was the problem of being seventeen. Seventeen is an awkward age. Period. But other than that, you couldn't understand the way he was acting.
Summer always started and ended with him. Always. But this summer, he wasn't anywhere near you. Occasionally popping by and disappearing after nightfall, declining late night movies together or beach trips. Rude!
It just felt weird without him. So, you found yourself turning up in front of his house one day, tapping your foot against the hard floor as you knocked impatiently on the door. 
"Y/N?" Jake appeared in front of you, his eyebrows scrunched with confusion.
“Jake,” you smiled innocently at him, which only made him look at you with more confusion. 
“Y/N it’s 10 pm?” 
“I just wanted to see you,” you admitted, to which you cursed at yourself for letting those words escape your lips so shamelessly because it was something you couldn’t deny. 
You could see the way his gaze softened, then proceeded to let out a sigh. “Is it … because I barely hang out with you these days?”
“So, you’re self aware this whole time?” you couldn’t help shooting back, wrapping your arms around yourself as the cold wind brushed past. But even without the wind, you felt your body freezing up from the sudden burst of nerves.
“I’m sorry. I’ve been busy,” Jake frowned, guilt evident on his face. “Wanna come in, we can hang?”
Just as he finished his sentence, his phone buzzed, a notification popped up. Your eyes averted to the screen of his phone, catching a slight glimpse. “1 new message from Grace”
Your heart dropped. You knew Grace. Hell, everyone knew her, she was the cheerleader of your school after all. Miss Popular, Miss Crowned Queen. And Jake was texting her? Your Jake?
“So, Grace, huh?” Was this what he was caught up with all along? You mentally scolded yourself, wondering why you were even thinking about this when it wasn’t even your business to care about in the first place. This unreadable feeling was brewing in your stomach and you didn’t like it at all.
“It’s nothing, really. She texted me lately, that’s all,” he shoved his phone into his back pocket, giving you a reassuring smile. “Still up to hang?”
“Nah, it’s fine. It’s getting late anyway. Tomorrow?” You didn’t know why you said this. It was never too late when it came to Jake. 
“Sure. I–uhm–heard there’s a party hosted by this guy called Ethan? Wanna come along?” 
You considered for a moment, then nodded. “I’m down.”
“Sweet,” he flashed you that goddamned smile, the one that charmed you until you felt light headed. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow,”
“Cool,” you smiled a little, feeling the air turning still for a second once you locked eyes with him. Your heartbeat quickened, it was as though air was sucked out from your lungs and all you wanted was him. 
“W-Wanna come over watch a movie with me tomorrow before the party? I’m home alone all day and we haven’t hung out properly for a while now,” Jake offered, stumbling over his words as he fidgeted his fingers, ears turning slightly pink.
You grinned. “How about the new Spiderman movie?”
He let out a small laugh, returning a big grin back. “You know me too well, huh? Deal.”
“See you tomorrow then, Jakey,” you reached over to ruffle his hair, but before you could fully pull away, he took hold of your wrist. 
“I’ve missed you, can’t you stay a little longer?” he whined, swinging your arm gently. 
You cursed at him, at his words and the amount of butterflies they’ve caused. “You can’t just say things like that,” you murmured under your breath.
“Hm?” he hummed and you looked up at him. 
You dismissed your previous words, hoping he didn’t catch on to them. “Tomorrow we’re hanging out the whole day anyway. By then you wouldn’t be missing me anymore,” 
“I miss you every day, though. Stick to my side like the old days?”
“How could I say no, Jakey?” you sighed, your heart thumping louder and louder as seconds passed. “Now, go sleep dumbass, we need to wake up early.” 
“Alright, alright,” he threw his hands up in defeat. “Goodnight, Y/N. Don’t stay up too late too, or else you’ll get premature wrinkles.” 
“I’ll beat you up.”
“I’d like to see you try.”
Tumblr media
It felt natural.
You were resting on Jake's chest, his arms around you, a bowl balanced on your stomach, a movie blaring in the background, the lights dimmed. It was natural.
"Peter's pretty dumb sometimes, isn't he?" You spoke up, hand reaching into the bowl of popcorn, feeling Jake's hand brush against yours to get some as well.
You tried to excuse the fact that you were about to choke at the slight contact, playing it cool as you chewed on your popcorn.
"Totally. Why would he even do that?" Jake huffed.
You looked up at him from his chest, admiring his face slightly, not even caring about what misdemeanours Peter Parker was committing. 
Jake could feel you staring, and he decided to look down at you, your gazes meeting. This was what you two always do whenever you're watching movies, it should be normal by now, but why in hell were you suddenly nervous?
"Mum wants you to come over for dinner," you whispered to him, reaching up to brush a strand of hair away from his eyes.
"I'm more than glad to do so," Jake pursed his lips, watching your movements closely.
The tension seemed to grow thicker and the movie started to fade into the background as the two of you stayed in this close proximity. You unconsciously glanced at his lips, swallowing thickly once you noticed him reciprocating the same action.
"Y/N-"
"Jake!" 
You almost let out a groan, but instead you looked away, clearing your throat and removing yourself from Jake's body. You were absolutely flushed, thinking of the endless possibilities that could've happened. But in the end, nothing did anyway. And that was why you were about to strangle Park Jong Seong for interrupting. 
"Jay?" Jake fumbled to sit up, his eyes turning to you before refocusing on Jay. "Is it time to leave already?"
"Duh," Jay rolled his eyes, casually dropping onto the couch beside you. "How are you, Y/N? Been enjoying summer?"
"Quite," you simply shrugged. "Someone over here left me alone after he promised a summer full of adventures," you nudged Jake and he smiled apologetically.
"I got caught up with some things!" He defended but Jay raised an eyebrow at his words.
"Some things or some one?"
"What?" You turned to Jake, trying to mask your disappointment with sheer interest. "Is it Grace?"
"So … you knew?" Jay's eyebrows only raised higher.
"I only found out yesterday, indirectly as well." you said, clearly unimpressed.
Jake rolled his eyes, sighing deeply. "Come on, guys. She only texted me once or twice. I was busy cramming my work, okay?"
"That's true too," Jay nodded in understanding. "You practically procrastinated everything and now it's a pile,"
"Must you remind me of it?" Jake groaned, his attention to you, taking notice of your sudden silence. "You alright there?"
You blinked at him, humming in response. How could you tell him that your stomach churned with jealousy whenever Grace was mentioned? How could you even admit that you're currently harbouring some god forbidding liking towards him? Your childhood best friend? The one who once spilled chocolate milk all over his shirt? The one who cried when he was forced to go back home after a whole day together with you? Jake Sim? 
You were fucked. You liked Sim Jaeyun. And you had zero idea what to do about it.
Tumblr media
The house party was basically like every other one you've been to. Passed out drunks here and there, the dance floor crammed to the max, the music booming loudly in your ears. Overall, you felt regretful coming here.
What made things worse was Jake abandoning you to talk to Grace. Yup, Grace. Even after all the denial he fed to you and Jay, he's still laughing and talking merrily to her, leaving you stuck in the middle of an unfamiliar house.
What a great Friday night!
It was almost midnight, so you decided to storm out of the house for some fresh air before declaring your leave, but Jake somehow caught you sneaking out.
"Leaving so soon?" He was leaning against the wall, watching your tired figure semi-passed out on the chair.
"God, Jake, you reek of alcohol," you pointed out, scrunching your nose at the stench. "Also, I'm not that inconsiderate. I won't leave you behind … unlike someone over here," you grumbled.
"Look, Grace dragged me away the moment I entered. Plus, I think I got to start avoiding her now," Jake groaned, sitting down next to you.
"Broke her heart?" You assumed. It wasn't uncommon to see Jake reject girls and break their heart growing up. Well, look at him, it was a fact that he got girls lining up for him. But you found it weird how he's never had a long term relationship before, which only made you more wary about your feelings for him.
"I wasn't being a douche about it!" He threw up his hands in defence. "I kindly rejected her, that's all. She seemed cool about it though," he shrugged and you felt his shoulder brush against your arm, his thigh making contact with yours.
"Look at you, all grown up and no longer breaking girls' hearts!" You smiled sarcastically at him. 
"Hey! I literally rejected all of them in a nice way. I'm a kind man, you know?" Jake huffed, stretching his body, then proceeded to slyly place his arms around you.
You were genuinely trying your hardest to remain the best poker face you could even manage. Yet, you knew the facade would eventually fade. "Sure, sure, Jakey boy."
He turned his body to face yours, a challenging expression written all over his face. "Do you remember the time when we were five and I gave you my legos? I still remember how many hugs you gave me every day after that. So yes, I am kind." Jake insisted.
"You remembered?" You grinned at him, feeling your heart rate increasing once you saw the fondness in his eyes.
"Of course I remembered," he said softly. "You give good hugs anyway."
"Want a hug?" You chuckled, not expecting Jake to actually dive into your arms and hold onto you tightly.
"You smell like strawberries," he murmured against your skin. 
You swallowed thickly and started breathing heavily. "A–are you drunk?"
"Just a bit," he pulled away from your body, his brown eyes meeting yours, his hands slowly travelling up to your face.
"Have I ever told you how pretty you are?" He whispered.
"Don't do this," you mumbled, your hand reaching for his wrist.
"What?" He breathed, his warm breath fanning your cheeks. 
"Don't make me fall in love with you completely," you stared into his eyes, slight hurt and regret painted your expressions.
"Fuck, why did I say that?" you laughed pitifully at yourself, removing yourself from his arms and stood up. "It's getting late, let's go," you said, ignoring Jake's lingering gaze.
"Y/N," he held onto your wrist and you stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what you could even say or do. You felt like an idiot. "W–what did you mean by that?" 
"It's nothing," you dismissed his question, feeling yourself sinking into a deeper hole. Jake furrowed his eyebrows, clearly frustrated. The moment he got up, he stumbled slightly and his words slurred. The alcohol has finally seeped in.
"Y/N, come on," he urged, desperation in his eyes. All you could do was sigh. 
"I'm sorry, Jake." 
So you did what you always do every summer. You ran from your problems and hid from the fact you had lingering feelings for your "best friend".
Tumblr media
You found yourself avoiding Jake after that night.
It was ironic how you complained about him disappearing in and out of your life during the start of summer, but here you were, doing the same.
He came over to your house a couple of times, but you chose the cowardly choice of hiding away. All of his texts and calls were half answered. 
You hated doing this, you knew it was hurting both you and him. But what could you do? Confess? Well, it was the most obvious way to solve the problem, but you were unwilling to risk a life long friendship with him. Pathetic you were indeed.
The weekend rolled around the corner and you just had to face one demise after another. Jake and his family were coming over for dinner and there's zero chances for you to dodge him this time. Thank you, Universe, you thought sarcastically.
Your palms felt clammy and sweaty as you set up the table. Before this, your mother had specifically requested you to present yourself more formally instead of wearing your typical sweats, so now you were stuck in a black skin tight dress, just appropriate enough to not be deemed as slutty.
"They're here!" your mother announced, clapping her hands in excitement. You, on the other hand, were only filled with nothing but dread.
The door flew open and hugs were exchanged. Your mother squealed happily when she saw Jake and for a moment, you were about to do the same.
His hair was slicked back, only a strand was left hanging in front of his face. He was wearing a formal black suit paired alongside a simple black tie. He was about to be the death of you. 
"Y/N." He nodded at you, lips pressed in a straight line.
"Jake." You replied back, hands kept behind your back, trying to conceal the fact that you were actually fidgeting.
"You kids are matching!" Mrs Sim pointed out, laughing delightfully.
You felt Jake's eyes on your body for a tense moment, sensing them scanning you from top to bottom. You met his gaze once he finished checking you out so blatantly, and all he did was smile at you innocently. Jerk. He knew exactly what he was doing.
"Why don't you kids go hang out yourselves?" Your mother patted your arm. 
"Sure," Jake shrugged, smoothing out the fronts of his blazer.
"Great!" Your mother beamed, then leaned down to whisper to you. "Don't do anything weird, okay?"
You grimaced. "Ew." Must your own mother put the mental image of you doing something 'weird' with Jake into your mind?
You turned around, practically dashing up the stairs towards your room. And as always, Jake followed you like a lost puppy. Once he shut the door to your room, he faced you with a blank expression, devoid of any signs of what he's about to say.
"So? Are you going to explain why you were ignoring me?" Jake leaned against the door, his hands in his pockets as he stared at you, unimpressed.
"What if I don't?" you replied, sitting on the edge of your bed.
"I'll force it out of you somehow, you know I always get my way," he replied nonchalantly and you only rolled your eyes at him, knowing how he wasn't completely wrong.
Jake seemed to have noticed your silence and decided to break the ice first. "I remembered that night, Y/N. You can't hide away from me forever just because of what you said."
You groaned, burying your face into your hands, completely flushed with embarrassment. "Must you remind me?"
"How can I forget about it when my best friend literally told me she loves me?" He kneeled in front of you, taking your hands in his. "Can't you just tell me how you feel? It's been days and nights since I felt at peace after what you'd said to me. What's worse is that I couldn't even remember it precisely. So please, just make it clear."
"Fine. Jake, I–"
"Y/N!"
You wished you could blow up right this instance. Out of every second, every minute, your mother just had to call you when you were about to come clean about your feelings. If you could, you would've liked to reach for the nearest pillow and scream into it.
"Well … next time, Jakey boy. Dinner calls!"
Before Jake could respond, you exited your room quickly, ignoring your thumping heart as you replayed everything in your mind. 
Tumblr media
Dinner was awkward.
Parents asking about each other's kids' situations and having deep conversations about life while Jake and you, on the other hand, were avoiding each other's gazes. Not ready to face whatever that had just happened.
You thought your torment was finally over when dinner ended and you found yourself dipping your legs by the pool when Jake silently joined your side, following your actions.
"You okay?"
You turned to look at him, kicking your legs slightly, you felt your shoulder brushing against his, thighs touching. "I'm fine. Just a little tired. Why?"
"Nothing. It was just that you were barely speaking all dinner and I got concerned," Jake pointed out and you shrugged nonchalantly.
"Everything's … complicated these days," you said. 
At your words, Jake shifted a little. He knew what your "complicated" meant, it was about you and him. 
"What even are we?" Jake spluttered out and you froze beside him, the water temperature suddenly dropping to 0 degrees. 
"You really want to talk about that now?" You mumbled, frowning.
"Then when can we even face it? I'm tired of you running away and me being in the dark," Jake argued, turning his body to face you.
"Jake …" you were rendered speechless, your body still, guilt clawing its way into your system. "I just don't think I'm ready yet, okay?"
Jake seemed frustrated at your comment. "Y/N–"
"JAKE!" 
It was his mother calling out for him and you heard him swearing under his breath. "Next time, Y/N. I'll wait for you."
With that, he left, leaving you completely dazed. He'll wait? 
Tumblr media
"Can you please come? They literally have a pool!"
Thursday night you found yourself at peace knowing nothing will ruin your weekend, until Jay's phone call. Being the party goer he was, he's now trying to convince you to tag along to some guy's party.
"What if I said no?" 
"I don't take 'no' as an answer,"
"Tough luck, champ," 
"Come on, Y/N," Jay whined. "Everyone is going. I mean, Jake is, and that cute guy you mentioned from school — Heeseung — was it? He's there too. You can shoot your shot!"
You thought about it for a moment as you cursed Jay for being way too convincing. "Fine. Since you asked so nicely."
"I know I could always count on you."
Safe to say the party was going considerably well and you weren't about to leave just after arriving for only a solid 15 minutes. Jay remained by yourself for the whole time, conversing with his own circle of friends while your eyes searched for a specific somebody among the sea of people. 
“I’ll go for a dance,” you nudged Jay, trying to get his attention.
“Be safe.” he simply said, but his words were filled with genuinity.
A couple cups of drinks definitely boosted your confidence as you shamelessly swayed your hips to the music playing in the background. The blinking lights blinded your sight, alcohol clouded your thoughts, unknowing to someone sliding close to you. Thankfully, your sixth sense never failed and you turned to meet the gaze of Lee Heeseung.
“Hey,” he casually greeted.
“Hi,” you breathed out, sudden shyness taking over.
“Wanna dance?” he offered and you nodded meekly. “Follow my lead,” he held onto your arms, circling them over his shoulder. 
“Is this okay?” Heeseung whispered and you nodded once more. 
You couldn’t believe this was happening. The cute guy from school was in fact dancing with you. You let yourself let go as you closed your eyes and swayed along to the beat of the music. This was heaven. 
No matter how you tried to shake off that weird feeling, it never went away. You knew someone was staring at you, burning little holes into the back of your head intensely. You opened your eyes, letting them adjust to the startling lights and almost immediately, you locked gazes with him.
Lo and behold, Jake Sim, sitting across the room, his jaw clenched, eyebrows furrowed. He was clearly unhappy about whatever you were doing, and you loved the effect you had on him. 
You smiled innocently, leaning close to Heeseung's ear. "I'm going to take a break. See you at school?"
Heeseung grinned at you. "Sure thing. I had fun dancing with you."
"Likewise." 
Thankfully, you managed to waddle your way through the crowd alive and made your way out of the house for some fresh air. The atmosphere inside of the house was too heavy and the smell of sweat and cheap alcohol stuck in the air.
"Running away from me again?" 
A voice came from behind you and you knew who it was immediately.
"Not everything is about you, okay?" You grumbled, hugging your arms around your body for warmth as you sat down on the front steps.
Jake joined your side, placing his hands on his knees, glancing at you from time to time. “Care to explain why you’re actively avoiding me?”
“I’m not,”
“Liar.”
You remained silent, not knowing what to say next. 
“You were dancing real close to Heeseung tonight,” he pointed out.
“Great observation, Sherlock,” you finally dared to turn to look at him. “Can we head back in? I’m craving for a drink,”
Jake only nodded soundlessly, following your movements as you stood up to head back in. You felt bad, guilty even, at the way you’re acting towards your lifelong best friend, but you couldn’t help it, your emotions were basically choking you hard. You tugged on Jake’s shirt, ready to say something.
“Jake—” Just when you two entered, Jake was pulled away, not even sparing a second for you to process, so now you were alone.
 “Great,” you mumbled unhappily under your breath, making your way to the drinks in the kitchen. Maybe they’ll console you instead. You genuinely wondered who’d cursed you countlessly whenever you were trying to confront Jake. 
To your dismay, the kitchen was filled with drunk teenagers who were all busy mixing their new anecdote for the night. Plan B, not the kitchen. 
You left for the living room instead, grumbling in annoyance since you couldn't get a drink. As you were about to turn a corner, you heard voices, very familiar ones and immediately halted your steps.
“You ditched Grace?” Park Sunghoon, the notorious figure skater who everyone was pining for, hissed.
Jake hummed.
“Is it because of Y/N?” Sunghoon asked, an undertone of suspicion laced in his voice.
"I don't like her like that," Jake murmured under his breath.
You froze. This couldn't be happening now, right? Out of any day, any place, it just had to be in a house, in the middle of an ongoing party. To be frank, you've already prepared yourself to face rejection every time you imagined confessing to Jake. But overhearing Jake's negative confession was surely not in your list.
"You're serious?" Sunghoon poked on.
"I don't know, man." Jake sighed in defeat. "Can we not talk about this now?"
You blinked away the confusing feelings you were currently having. Was it anger? Was it sadness? Was it hope? You couldn't tell. All you wanted was to be home, in your cosy bed.
There were many things you were afraid to do in life, such as talking to boys your age, socialising, confronting your crush and so on, but today, right now, you had zero regrets as you continued your steps, walking past Jake.
It was all white noises in your ears and blissful ignorance. Jake was calling after you, trying to reach you, but the crowd only ended up swallowing him whole. 
Once you were out of the house, you found yourself finally breathing again, suddenly thankful for the fresh air. But there's a rather unfortunate problem for you, Jake caught up with you.
"Y/N," he breathed.
"Fuck off," you snapped, an overwhelming wave of emotions clawing in your body.
"Listen to me, I didn't mean that," Jake's voice rose unintentionally.
"Yeah? So you're expecting me to be totally fine as if nothing happened?" You frowned. "Well, hi Jake, how was the party? Not good? Why-"
"Stop! Why are you even acting like this?" Jake grabbed ahold of your shoulders, making you stare directly at him as he could tell you were about to flee at any minute.
"Because–" You shrugged his hold away. "I like you, Jake! Ever since we were fifteen. But you were always so clueless to tell. And this summer, you were basically too hung up over Grace to spend time with me, then that night when you said those things to me, do you expect me to act oblivious after that? And today, you said those words … how am I supposed to know how you feel?"
You couldn't tell what Jake was thinking. He practically had a poker face on, seemingly trying to take in everything you've just said. "Y/N …"
"What do you want from me, Jake?"
Jake took a deep breath, his features ridden with frustration as he burst out.
"I want you. Okay? Happy now?"
To say you were stunned was clearly an understatement. You didn't know what to say or act, staring at him with your mouth ajar. 
"I–I have liked you since we were kids and I don't think I realised until this summer," Jake went on, clearly rambling in distress. "That's why I avoided you, Y/N. I was scared. I didn't know why I felt like that or what I should do. In the end, I figured it was you. It was always you, no matter what."
"Then have me, Jake."
"What?"
It was one of those moments where it felt entirely out of a movie. Jake could only stare at you wordlessly while you breathed heavily, a million thoughts running through your head and you’ve finally accepted it. 
Oh no, you’ve fallen in love.
“Just shut up and kiss me,” you grumbled under your breath, taking his face into your hands and pulling him in for a kiss. 
When your lips touched, it felt as if countless emotions and unspoken words from over the years passed through like a connection. It felt right. Jake slid his hand around your neck, pulling you deeper into the kiss. This was absolute bliss. 
You put your hand on his wrist, pulling away gently, eyes not leaving one another for even a second. The two of you pant softly, trying to catch a breath from the kiss and you started to shy away, in disbelief that this actually happened. Jake noticed, smiling a little, leaning down to press a gentle peck against the side of your mouth.
“Wanna stay over at mine tonight? I can drive,”
“You already know the answer to that.”
Tumblr media
Laying in his bed with the lights off accompanied by the whirring of the A/C played in the background, his arms wrapped around you, the beating of his heart against your back, feeling the steady rise and fall of his chest, it was something familiar yet so new. 
You turned around to face him, watching as he rubbed his eyes, stirring awake slightly. It was still dark outside, but Jake couldn’t fall asleep, finding himself treasuring your presence instead. You were brushing loose strands of hair away from his face when a strange look appeared and he spoke, voice sluggish.
"You're my best friend."
Somehow, you understood what he meant and you knew what it was. He is in love.

Research Story
Tumblr media
[ID: The banner of the game research story, drawn in anime style. It shows a person next to the game's title, looking at a yellow flower through a magnifying glass, papers in hand and a black cat with a sprout on its head on their shoulder. End ID]
You move into the cozy little village Shimmerbrook as a researcher. Unlike in other farming sims, that means you don't purchase seeds/animals, you have to pick up a plant/animal/fish part, start researching, observe, learn how to forage seeds and how to tame the creatures, then grow the plants and bond with the creatures by fulfilling their needs.
Once it likes you, every creature has a different perk, from giving you bonus seeds when foraging plants, over finding mushrooms, over automatically fertilizing soil when planting seeds, over finding treasure, over…
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of the game. The artstyle is pixel graphics, the colors are muted because it's after nightfall. The player character, with pink hair and yellow and pink clothes, walks across a meadow towards a house looking like a giant tree stump. A chicken, a rabbit, and a fox are following them. End ID ]
Different plants/creatures appear depending on weather, location, season & time of day. Some plants only grow next to water, some fish only appear in caves at night. All creatures have multiple possible traits, for example needing a buddy to be happy, and some being sheltered by a nearby tree. The more things you research, the more your rank increases, unlocking more things - like weekly fetch quests for villagers.
There's:
Research (d'uh)
Farming
Fishing
Mining
Crafting
Decorating
Festivals
Dating
Looking at it objectively, no feature is extremely deep (though I believe some will be expanded before 1.0). There's only a limited selection of decor items, no farm buildings, different requirements make large-scale farming tedious, and the fishing minigame is very simple. Dating is still getting expanded (no marriage yet), and crafting is rather limited, mostly things you need for research like different kinds of feed, bait, soil, and crafting stations. There's no cooking yet other than throwing a few basic items into a campfire to get a roasted version, and only a few equippable items as rewards.
Tumblr media
[ID: The same player character stands in a small, square house against a black background. The house is furnished with a bed, a bedside table, a desk with a pot of pink flowers on top, a painting, a pale yellow rug, and several wooden chests. End ID]
But, at least for me, it all fits together incredibly well if you accept the research part as the main goal. There's just enough of a carrot on a stick I want to keep playing.
Shortly after release, I already put about 25 hours in and didn't even reach the first year's fall. That was before a lot of the content updates, so there's definitely enough to do for the price tag. I want to earn more money because I want to buy some furniture, and I need those recipes because and I want more sprinklers, and oh my, I forgot upgrading the scythe gives a chance of getting insects, I need insects, so I need more ore, two more days and my research is done, oh yay I reached the next mine level and can finally get sand, and why is it 2am?
Now to be fair, the gameplay loop is - as so often in those kinds of games - rather repetitive. Feed animals, water plants, forage whatever grows today, fish and mine, talk to some people, day's over. Especially feeding the creatures is tedious at the start, since some food items are rare, you have to hand-craft the food, and each pen only holds 2 servings.
But later, there's sprinklers, and feed crafting stations, and autofeeders, and also - creatures don't die. If you don't need the creature's perk, you can just ignore it (Sorry, Rock Salamander!)
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of the town in the game, showing 4 different houses to both sides of a river. Two are built out of wood, one being a tavern, the other a potion ship with a small garden in front, and two are built out of stone, one with a forge, the other with masonry tools in front. The player character stands next to the river, fishing. End ID]
As for the game world, it's incredibly cute and the artstyle is minimalist but adorable. The town itself is by far the highlight - other areas have a bit much open/empty space. Speaking of maps, the mini map is great: not only does it show you the opening hours of each store, once you befriend people to a certain level, you can also see their position on the map.
In general, this game has so many convenient features. Excellent auto-stacking and quick transfer into chests. A bell tool to send creatures back into their pens. You can adjust the length of day and amount of energy in the settings (at the moment with no achievement penalty, though there might be one in the future requiring to play with default settings). Energy itself is on the lower side, but you're supposed to use food, not hoard it like a little raccoon as I do. Oh, and - you can save anytime, anywhere. Yay!

[ID: A screenshot showing the dialogue window of the character Teagan in their potion shop decorated with purple furniture, shelves with potions, and various potted plants as well as a big cauldron. The portrait is drawn in anime style. They have pale skin, long, pale pink hair with blonde tips and are wearing purple clothes and a headband with feathers and a bird skull. They ask: What can I do for you? End ID]
The controller support (and, therefore, the steam deck support) is great. Everything works, and what little hiccups there are I expect to be gone by the time it leaves early access. Cloud save between the deck and a pc work as well. The only thing missing is the 1200x800 resolution, which is really no good reason for an "unsupported" label.
I really love this game. Sometimes I don't want to build a farming empire. Sometimes I just wanna crawl in the dirt while watching a little bunny poop so I can pick up the droppings and figure out what it eats.

Noe Bodi Gameplay: The First 9 Days
As you all know, I moved my simself Noe Bodi into a new save with only sims I requested as neighbors, with a mix of premade sims and other sim downloads as townies/NPCs. Here's a summary of how the first week and two days went:
Day 1: Noe Bodi moved into Oasis Springs.
Tumblr media
Day 2: Rhea Moya and Maike Zambrano (by @fl0pera) moved in on either side of Noe. They liked each other well enough when they ran into each other.
Tumblr media
Day 3: Luca Macario (made by @tr-angyo) moved into Forgotten Hollow. They immediately gravitated towards the chess table in the park.
Tumblr media
Also they hired a butler.
Tumblr media
Day Four: Noe Bodi stopped by to join Luca in the chess park, immediately matching them move for move.
Tumblr media
And when Noe got tired, Luca allowed her to nap in their living room while they stayed outside and built a snowman.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Day Five: WINTERFEST. Two handsome boys, Khalil Palma (@fl0pera) and Pax Ramey (@theosconfessions) moved in together next door to Noe.
Tumblr media
Khalil and Noe had sparks fly the moment they met, leading them to exchange numbers fairly quickly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She met Pax later that day, too, and they had a pleasant chit chat on the couch.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Later that night, Khalil and Pax were chopping it up with Father Winter like they were friends for years. That's how charismatic these two are.
Tumblr media
Day 6: NEW YEARS EVE! As everyone gathered in the Solar Flare Lounge to celebrate, Luca got acquainted with Rhea, Khalil and Pax.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The game had Pax manning the bar, but that was before i dumped some more random NPCs to take his place.
Tumblr media
Day 7: Pax and Khalil were doing their thing while Noe was doing hers...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And at some point, Khalil came over to her place and started helping her with her spaceship!
Tumblr media
They took a lot of selfies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Day 8: Noe finally got the courage to ask Khalil out on a date. They enjoyed a lunch at a Windenburg cafe, even though it was mighty crowded.
Tumblr media
You could say it went pretty well.
Tumblr media
Day 9: Khalil asked HER out on a date after work. So she threw on her cutest dress...and proceeded to flirt with Pax while waiting for Khalil.
Tumblr media
(his fault for looking so cute in those shorts.)
Anyway, Khalil came over and went straight for the spaceship to continue building, and for some reason, so did PAX! They all worked together and FINISHED the spaceship by nightfall.
Tumblr media
And I guess that made Khalil extra flirty because...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I didn't screenshot what happened next. 🙈)
Tumblr media
And that's what happened so far in the Noe Bodi Gameplay!
[next]
This is not scheduled, but it is promised, at least for a little while. So if anyone is doing Sim Requests, I have ideas for sims I'd like Noe Bodi to interact with and I'd love to see what comes out of your CAS rooms. Thanks to @theosconfessions , @fl0pera and @tr-angyo for the first handful of characters. I cherish them dearly!

Tumblr media
It’s a new day after Joe Carr almost destroyed the universe, and we’ve invited Ginger Shea Johnston over so Cyneswith can fall in love with him (he’s already in love with her of course, oh Cyn). GSJ is kind enough to bring this elderly gentleman along who’s clearly gonna be Cyn’s next lover, thanks so much bro! As you may recall, ever since Cyn was a teen I’ve had the theory that for all her huhuing she’s actually an evil genius..
Tumblr media
..and Cyn proves me right yet again by rejecting GSJ’s harmless ‘serenade’ action because iVan is present and she doesn’t feel like being caught cheating for the millionth time.
-Are you crazy, GSJ? Just because we made out in a community lot hot tub you think you can flirt with me?!🌸
Tumblr media
Once iVan has fucked off tho..
-Alright everyone, just like we practiced. -GIVE US YOUR LUNCHBOX, GINGER SHEA JOHNSTON -YA, COUGH UP THE GOODS, MOTHERFUCKER -I don’t think he can hear you guys. -Shut it, Moody! I can’t believe I had kids with you.
Tumblr media
NICE, another one down. See you never, GSJ!
Tumblr media
Ugh, YOU.
-Leave me alone, I’m in a terrible mood!!
When aren’t you, Sugar. The fuck’s your problem now?
-I got my report card.
Ya, say no more. Thankfully for every Sugar around here-
Tumblr media
-there’s a Sophie, WHO EARNS 50K, TOPS THE LAW CAREER, AND BECOMES THE FIRST SIM IN THE MAIN HOUSE TO COMPLETE 2 LTWS (one of them being the pet career one!!!)
Tumblr media
QUEEN.
Tumblr media
SOPHJAR LIVES❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ They’re out of the woods after the last rough 20 years, they always run out to greet each other when one returns from work, it’s so fucking cute.
Tumblr media
Less cute: Cyneswith’s night of knocking out lovers. So I went to count Cyn’s existing lovers (that’s how I discovered the Joe Carr bs so thank God for hoeing), so normally counting Joe Carr, Neon Vest Downtownie would be #18, but since Joe’s character file is no longer with us, this #17. Either way we’re so close!!!
Tumblr media
We wait for nightfall and invite over Count Phoenix since he seemed really into Cyn last time- 
Tumblr media
-and sure enough, he succumbs right away. Wow, so it was just with Victoria you were playing hard to get? RUDE
Tumblr media
-DISGUSTING. WHY DO I HAVE TO SEE THIS??
I don’t know Sugar, maybe you could stop always returning from school and work during your mother’s hoeing time?? Some people istg. 
Tumblr media
YAS. TWO MORE TO GO!!!! 
Tumblr media
The power of Sugar’s chemistry panel is starting to reveal itself as blondie here is straight up APPALING to him. 
-Ughh she’s ripped but has athletic skill points??? GROSS
Tumblr media
Zen Don: Same shit, different day.
Tumblr media
We waste no time inviting GTGSJBWH (Geezer That Ginger Shea Johnston Brought With Him) over, but apparently Count Phoenix is ready to die to deliver Cyn’s dream date bouquet! Cyn seriously, wtf do you do to these guys?? 
Tumblr media
-OH CYNESWITH, I’VE LIVED THROUGH EVERY WAR FROM THE MONGOL INVASION AFTERWARDS BUT YOU MIGHT BE THE THING THAT DOES ME IN🧛 -Awww that’s so sweet, County, huhu! Now back to the bat sanctuary you go, I’m on a date🌸
Tumblr media
So things are going great with GTGSJBWH aka Leo..
Tumblr media
..especially after a little help from our friend, huhu! iVan would you please go inside, this isn’t meant for your eye(s). 
Tumblr media
I’m like YAS ONE MORE LEFT ONE MORE LEFT-
Tumblr media
-and then fucking Don returns from work while Leo is delivering his bouquet. 
-OH GOD CYNESWITH, HOW COULD YOU BETRAY OUR 3-HOUR-OLD LOVE BY DANCING WITH YOUR HUSBAND OF 40 YEARS??
FML, thanks a lot Don. Moving on, we’ve once again arrived at a sequence of events that happened within 5 minutes and on which I have no comment so I’m just gonna present them factually again:
Tumblr media
1) Cyneswith is caught cheating with iVan by Don and Remington.
Tumblr media
2) While Cyn is getting slapped, Dobronega attacks Kitana aka her own daughter in the background.
Tumblr media
3) Cyneswith offers the rose of amnesia to Don while the fight rages on.
Tumblr media
4) Dobronega loses, becomes one-sided enemies with daughter, and runs away.
Tumblr media
5) Cyneswith offers the rose of amnesia to Remington but is caught by Don and iVan.
Tumblr media
6) Cyneswith offers the rose of amnesia to iVan to make up for being caught offering the rose amnesia to Remington to make up for being caught cheating with iVan.
Tumblr media
7) Dobronega is returned by the Good Witch NPC literally 1 minute after running away.
Tumblr media
8) Ferra passes💔💔💔💔
Tumblr media
9) While everyone is mourning Ferra, Shajar decides this is the ideal time to age into an elder. 
-I didn’t ‘decide’ anything, you forgot my birthday!!!
Well I’m sorry Shajar but in case you haven’t noticed things are kinda falling apart around here!!1
Tumblr media
I am once again sick of these people so Cyneswith accepts Leo’s invite to go Downtown with a bunch of townies. He still hates her for ‘cheating’ with Don so I don’t get the move here but I’m like ok nice chance to offer him the rose! 
Tumblr media
Awww, a Wyatt face-template townie💔 I miss him💔
Tumblr media
While I’m reminiscing about Wyatt fucking Ginger Shea Johnston shows up, NO, GET OUT
Tumblr media
FUCK
-REALLY CYN, WITH THE GEEZER I INTRODUCED YOU TO?! -Well you should have known better than to introduce me to someone with grey hair, huhu!💗 
Tumblr media
UGHHHHH bro we are CURSED, we’re never gonna reach 20 lovers! We flew too close to the sun and keep getting caught at every turn :(
Tumblr media
We hastily offer the rose to GSJ which he mercifully accepts-
Tumblr media
-while Leo is inside, stewing about Don. GET A GRIP
Tumblr media
Just when I think this night can’t get worse, Cockblocking Evil Witch shows up to lag the lot and apparently this is a targeted hit! Wtf is your problem bitch??
-Cyneswith has been spreading too much joy to the elderly, this stops now!!
Tumblr media
Let’s gtfo before you get electrocuted a second time, Cyn.
-But I don’t wanna go home, huhu! That’s where all the slapping is!🌸
We’re not going home, we’re going to the Lost in Love Hedge Maze in search of greener geezers!
Tumblr media
BINGO
Tumblr media
Wow this guy must be a prime specimen if you’re into geriatrics. The 70′s glasses, the bowling shirt, the high waisted shorts, he’s probably what Cyn considers a stone cold 10!
-He is, he is!!!💗  
Go for it, Cyn!
Tumblr media
Green Swimsuit: Where is Crumplebottom when you need her??
Tumblr media
Stone Cold 10 Geezer is very receptive (who isn’t with Cyn’s insane chemistry bonus) but I’m not risking another lover showing up again, so we bust out Sugar The Voodoo Doll asap-
Tumblr media
-it’s super effective! The only effective Sugar there is around here.
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD. I was clearly right about this guy being Cyn’s dream man, this is the first time EVER she falls in love with someone first?? It’s always them falling in love and her being a picky queen that’s why I always have to invite them over so she can fall in love??? WOW
Tumblr media
We literally had to go over and make out with him to make him fall in love?? I hate him??? But whatever, we’re officially one lover away from being done!!!
Tumblr media
We return home and invite Leo so we can reclaim his love, he does this hand kissing shit when he shows up so I’m like great, great-
Tumblr media
-and then he rejects Cyn’s make out aka our first rejection EVER. I’m so pissed it’s unreal, we offer up the rose of amnesia but even that isn’t enough, like he just stop being furious but he’s still not into us??? LEO FUCK OFF????
-Gladly!
UGH
Tumblr media
At least I have Sophie and Shajar around here to cheer me up❤️ 
-*I* love you more! -No, *I* love you more! -I said *I* love you more you stupid cuck! -Fuck you Sophie, I’m not a cuck anymore! *I* love you more!
Tumblr media
TORR NO
-I’M NOT EVEN DONE YET💀
Tumblr media
VAL NO. GRIM FFS CAN’T YOU SPACE THAT SHIT OUT A BIT??? DICK.
Tumblr media
RIP Torr and Valentina💔 Torr, you were such a good boy. Val, you were the most insane digital dog that has ever existed. I will miss you both💔   
Tumblr media
I am bummed OUT and Sugar’s HORRIBLE grades aren’t helping my situation. Bitch are you straight up glitched? How the fuck are you doing this badly, I never let you never miss your homework!
-Yes, it is definitely homework I’m writing in there and not hateful poems about my mother. 
Man, those college years are just gonna fly by with you.
Tumblr media
Sugar is back from school which can only mean one thing: time for Cyn to cheat on his father. We invite goddamn Leo over again and it looks like his madness has finally subsided??
-Oh Cyneswith, if you keep talking like that I think in a couple months I could see myself thinking about potentially forgiving you.. -Aww, I’m sorry Leoie..
Tumblr media
-..but ain’t nobody got time for that, huhu!🌸 -DON’T DO IT CYN, DON’T OVERRIDE MY FREE WILL  -THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR REJECTING MY MAKE OUT, YOU STUPID ASSHOLE. YOU RUINED MY PERFECT 0 REJECTION RUN AND ONCE I COMPLETE MY LTW I WILL DESTROY YOU. HU.HU MOTHERFUCKER
Um, Cyn?
-WHAT.
Nothing, nothing! Carry on, I’m not at all suddenly afraid of you. 
Tumblr media
-AND I LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER💗
Tumblr media
Huhu?

hey, this isn't an ask but more of me fangirling because i just finish bingie reading your Sub Au and they are exquisite(!!!) They are so well written and thought out that as soon as i found out you where making a dating sim i stop what i was doing and start playing NightFall (which i also really like!!!) So i hope you have a happy fulfilling life : D
Thank you!!! There will be more chapters of Subaru's fic soon (...hopefully), so look forward to that!
And sjkhjgsh that's so nice!! ;w; I'm glad you're enjoying Nightfall!

When I discovered this blog
Me: this look interesting~
When I scrolled down through blog
Me: I am definition of confusion
I am very confused who's Ryuusei or Sora. Can you explain what is game, Yamitsuki or Nightfall about?
They're both dating sims— as in, the story is a reader-insert player romancing the characters. Each character has their own route, which allows for some degree of interactive choices. Nightfall's actual game is currently in progress, but Yamitsuki (and Blackguard) is still in the development/waiting phase, so it's just character interaction and tidbits of writing for now.
Hope that helps! :3

Aragami game
Tumblr media
Aragami game full#
As a prequel, it does give greater insight into some characters and a bit of context about the overall conflict raging on around you, but this gets muddy and hard to follow. This is a good decision that makes the campaign feel fresher and often more challenging.Īgain, the story fails to do much at all. Goals are less repetitive and are built more around exploration – often without providing an objective marker. While only four chapters long, Nightfall offers plenty of content, with some of the most expansive levels in the game and opening up all abilities to you from the start. Acting as a prequel narrative, in this short expansion you play as one of two shadow-adept soldiers seeking to stop your empress from being trapped by the enemy – the light-wielding ‘Kaiho’. Entering a huge new level to realise that, ‘oh, I have to break a light barrier, then reach the next area… again’ is disappointing.įortunately, the objectives issue is directly resolved in Nightfall. This does, however, dent the overall enjoyment a little. You’ll be breaking many light barriers and infiltrating many pagodas before the night is over, but again, this would only be a major issue if the game played poorly. While the levels are cleverly designed and a blast to play through, objectives are rote and repetitive. I did have one let down throughout: the objectives. Use the story for context, don’t take it too seriously and just revel in the shadow-hopping stab-fest. But it’s one of those rare instances where the gameplay is so fun that it really doesn’t matter. Tacky dating sim bad, in places totally atonal to the feudal Japan setting. In fact, this game is built for completionists, encouraging multiple run-throughs of each level to be the best possible shadow ninja you can be.Ĭounter to this, the story is completely forgettable – although it does have a good ending – and the dialogue is actively bad.
Aragami game full#
That is unless you’re going for a full ghost playthrough or something like that. You’ve got plenty of options to make it through each level though, so while having fewer abilities might make it tougher, the game isn’t particularly difficult as is. I hadn’t unlocked more than half of the abilities by the time I’d finished the campaign. Which is handy, because finding scrolls can be tricky, requiring extensive exploration. There are many more abilities – which you unlock by finding scrolls – but even with just these two you can feel like a fully fledged stealth assassin. As you get familiar with movement and where you can and cannot teleport to, you settle into a satisfying rhythm that never lets up. As a shadow spirit, your abilities only refill while you’re sheltered under dark, and will drain rapidly in the light. You can also paint shadows on any unlit surface, for even more options to aid both traversal and murder. It’s a fantastic stalking tool and one that lets you explore the densely designed levels with cunning. This is basically the blink ability from Dishonored, and it works exceptionally well here. You’re a shadow adept spirit, which means you can use any shadow to your stealthy advantage by leaping to it with a click of the right mouse button. Set over 13 chapters taking place over one dark night, the gameplay of Aragami is fluid and fun from the outset. Turns out, Aragami: Shadow Edition is one of the most enjoyable action-adventure stealth experiences available. In 2018, the much-anticipated expansion Nightfall has finally been released, which has given me the perfect chance to find out exactly what I’d missed the first time around. Back in 2016, Barcelona-based developer Lince Works released Aragami, a third person stealth game where you take on the form of a vengeful shadow spirit, summoned to seek revenge on the army of light.

Manga the Week of 6/8/22
SEAN: As June continues, what varieties of manga do we see before us?
Yen On debuts Your Forma, a sci-fi detective story that asks the question: what if getting 5G wireless injected into you from a vaccine was actually real? and it spied on your every sense? This could be very good or very bad, and I suspect that depends entirely on the politics of the writer.
ASH: Hmmm. The genre certainly appeals to me, but I suspect you’re right.
ANNA: Yeah, going to skip this one and I’m generally in favor of sci-fi goofiness.
MELINDA: I feel a little “yikes” on this one.
SEAN: Also from Yen On: The Eminence in Shadow 4 and Sword Art Online Progressive 8.
Yen Press, meanwhile, has new manga volumes. Adachi and Shimamura 3, Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense 4, Goblin Slayer Side Story: Year One 7, Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! 13, and A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School! 11.
Viz debuts Ghost Reaper Girl, a Shonen Jump + series by the creator of Rosario + Vampire (though under a different pen name). Chloe wants to be an actress. But she’s 28, and her window is closing. Can she find fame as a ghost reaper, though? Note that this series is being published flipped at the request of its creator.
ASH: Interesting! Not much seems to be flipped these days, let alone at the creator’s request.
SEAN: Chainsaw Man is also ending with Vol. 11, though a sequel is in the works. We also see Black Clover 29, Ima Koi: Now I’m in Love 2, Snow White with the Red Hair 19, and Yona of the Dawn 36.
MICHELLE: I’m always here for VIZ shoujo.
ASH: For sure!
ANNA: Viz shoujo saving the week for me!
SEAN: Tokyopop has A Gentle Noble’s Vacation Recommendation 5.
Hope you like debuts from Seven Seas, there are a ton of them.
I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend Into a Girl (Osananajimi() wo Onnanoko ni Shiteshimatta Hanashi) is from Ichijinsha’s Comic Pool. A boy trying to practice his makeup technique has his best friend offer to be a guinea pig… but the results are more than either of them could have guessed. Despite the light-novel-ey title, this looks like fans of LGBT should enjoy it.
ASH: I’m definitely curious about this one.
SEAN: Namekawa-san Won’t Take a Licking! (Name Raretakunai Namekawa-san) is from Comic Yuri Hime, and features a bullied girl who decides, for her high school debut, to become a delinquent. Unfortunately, now she attracts the attention of the disciplinary officer. I am always wary of yuri series described as hilarious.
ASH: A different sort of delinquent manga than is often seen, it would seem.
SEAN: Nightfall Travelers: Leave Only Footprints (Yuuyake Trip) is from Houbunsha’s Comic Fuz. Two high school girls investigate supposedly haunted areas of their town and grow closer. The art is apparently the reason to get this.
ASH: I’ll admit, the premise intrigues me, too.
SEAN: This Is Screwed Up, but I Was Reincarnated as a GIRL in Another World! (Yoku Wakaranai Keredo Isekai ni Tensei Shiteita You Desu) is a manga from Kodansha’s Suiyoubi no Sirius, based off a novel (not yet licensed, I believe). I’ve been told it’s another one of those “this becomes fluffy slice-of-life isekai assuming you can get past all the sexual assault and threats of slavery at the start” series. Sigh.
ANNA: No thank you!
MELINDA: oh my god.
SEAN: Lastly, The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This (Futari wa Daitai Konna Kanji) is a yuri series from the creator of Whispered Words (Sasameki Koto). A 30-year-old writer and a 22-year-old actress are living together as a couple, and we see their everyday life. This is extremely comfy and fun. It ran in Gentosha’s Comic Boost.
MICHELLE: Well, at least one of these appeals to me.
ASH: I rather liked Whispered Words, if I recall correctly.
MELINDA: This sounds actually great.
SEAN: Also from Seven Seas: Monologue Woven For You 2, the 13th and final volume of New Game!, and Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs 5.
Kodansha has MORE Shuzo Oshimi in print next week, with Welcome Back, Alice (Okaeri Alice). This runs in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine, and got a digital release in February, but the print came fast. Three childhood friends have what seems like a standard love triangle… then one of them shows up dressed as a girl.
ASH: Somehow missed this being licensed!
MELINDA: I don’t know what to expect from this. Maybe great?
SEAN: Also in print: Cells at Work! Baby 4 (the final volume), Interviews with Monster Girls 10, Lovesick Ellie 4, Orient 9, Sailor Moon Naoko Takeuchi Collection 2, SHAMAN KING Omnibus 9, Sue & Tai-chan 4, Vampire Dormitory 5, and What Did You Eat Yesterday? 18.
MICHELLE: Hooray for more What Did You Eat Yesterday?!
ASH: Indeed!
MELINDA: YESSSSSSSSS
SEAN: The first digital debut is The Shadows of Who We Once Were (Nare no Hate no Bokura), a survival game manga from the creator of Until Your Bones Rot. It’s from Weekly Shonen Magazine, and… it’s a survival game manga.
The other digital debut from Kodansha is Joy, a BL manga from Kodansha’s Honey Milk. A shoujo manga artist is asked to write a BL work… and also discovers his assistant is gay. Maybe he can get inspiration for the BL by a fake relationship?
MELINDA: Oooo, this…
SEAN: Also digital: The Abandoned Reincarnation Sage 3, Changes of Heart 2, Chihayafuru 32, Girlfriend, Girlfriend 9, Kounodori: Dr. Stork 24, Love After World Domination 4, My Master Has No Tail 6, Oh, Those Hanazono Twins 2, and The Transcendent One-Sided Love of Yoshida the Catch 2.
MICHELLE: Insert habitual Chihayafuru squee.
ANNA: Gesticulates in celebration of the series, then transitions to despair at being so far behind.
SEAN: J-Novel Club has some print releases. We get Ascendance of a Bookworm’s 10th manga volume, By the Grace of the Gods 9, The Faraway Paladin 4, In Another World with My Smartphone 22, Marginal Operation 10, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! 10, Otherside Picnic Omnibus 3, and The Unwanted Undead Adventurer 6.
J-Novel Club’s digital debut is a manga, The Saga of Lioncourt (Lion Coeur Senki), which is from Takeshobo’s Kissca. Office worker reincarnated as a warrior in a middle-ages era setting.
And also Forget Being the Villainess, I Want to Be an Adventurer! 3 (the final volume), How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom 16, A Late-Start Tamer’s Laid-Back Life 3, Marginal Operation 13, and Otherside Picnic 7.
Ghost Ship debuts World’s End Harem: Fantasia Academy, a spinoff of a spinoff of the series that is for everyone who wants to bone 10,000 women who adore them. This is apparently a high school AU version.
Also from Ghost Ship: Ero Ninja Scrolls 3 and Might as Well Cheat: I Got Transported to Another World Where I Can Live My Wildest Dreams! 3.
Denpa has two new releases. The Men Who Created Gundam (Gundam Sousei) ran, appropriately, in Gundam Ace. It’s a done-in-one omnibus about the creators of Gundam… but expect comedy.
Vampeerz: My Peer Vampires is a Sunday GX series about the love between a teenage girl and a vampire… I think. The description is vague, but I mean, title.
ASH: Count me curious.
MELINDA: Same.
SEAN: And Airship has two early digital titles, including a debut. 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! (Loop 7-kaime no Akuyaku Reijou wa, Moto Tekikoku de Jiyuukimama na Hanayome (Hitojichi) Seikatsu wo Mankitsusuru) is, yes, a villainess novel. But this time our heroine has done this a lot. She’s lived full lives. She’s done different occupations. She keeps getting killed. Now, on her 7th try, why not marry her killer?
We also get the first volume of Classroom of the Elite: Year 2.
That turned out to be a whole lot. Thoughts?

Now that I'm back and working on it more, it's time to promo myself again with a fresh pinned post! >:D To anyone who looks at my blog, please also check out Nightfall, my original dating sim game that's VERY on-brand for my writing— as in, trauma, emotional suffering, and cute-yet-awful boys abound!

DON'T FEEL BAD, YOUR IDEAS ARE AMAZING! SHARE! SHARE WITH US!
LSKJSHSKJSHS I STILL FEEL GUILTY
But uh, it's another dating sim kinda thing, same format as Nightfall, but specifically about two groups of delinquent/gang boys. They're all awful and traumatized (of course!), and the vague idea is that the player kinda fucks 'em up mentally, "I can fix him" style.
I'm thinking it takes place in the same city as Nightfall, but in a slightly different time period— maybe a while before it.

Woah! That's a lot going on! How many projects are you working on besides this one?
UHHHHH
Many. Too many. 
If we’re counting original works only, I have eighteen “universes”. A good number of these will be one book/part each, but a few are going to be big. Anryuu Epic is, of course, the monstrosity, but Angelica’s Eden, Four Years, Execution Program, and Nightfall also stand out as LARGE. 
Almost all of what I do is just regular novel writing, but Nightfall and Yamitsuki are dating sim-type games. 
And in addition to that, I’m very much not done with coming up with new stories. Ideas hit me from time to time, and I don’t turn them down. For example. Angelica’s Eden consists of three parts as of now (The Ball of Cats, Haematite, and Seven-Colored Song), and I’m estimating that there will be four more before it’s done. 
Then, we consider if you’re counting fanfic. I run five fan content-based blogs, as well as a very active Ao3 with around fifteen in-progress fics at any given moment, and I take commissions pretty regularly. 
Sooo yeah. Many things. XD

nightfall - meanwhile, back with jon "kidnapped" sims-
jon deciding that the best use of his time (while waiting for his kidnappers' target's lungs to grow back) would be getting a statement from his kidnappers is soooo him. literally what a good little archivist he is <3 the exact correct priorities for his position. he sounded so hopeful and charming about it, too. love him.
julia and trevor are cute, honestly. we love a father/daughter-esque relationship founded on both aligning with the same entity, which will inevitably lead them past the point of rationality, and turn them into rabid killers <3
or if i'm being honest, we don't. it's a little bit cringe and simplistic, leading to something of a disappointment in their potential, in my opinion. but the lead up to that point is fun.
Ranking: 6, nice of them to feed jon while detaining him and threatening his life. easily the best kidnappers he's had to date.

🎨🎤📚 for the ask meme? :0
🎨 - have you ever made or received fanart for one of your fics?
Ohhhh yeah. I’ve had a few people draw fanart of my fics, and aaaaa I love it every time! It always makes me :D!!!! No matter what it is, I’m always happy to see fan works made based off of my content! Yes, this absolutely is encouragement for y’all.
🎤 - what's a strongly-held opinion you have about fics?
Let’s see... I guess my strongest opinion is that people should be allowed to write what they want to. Whether I like it or don’t, whether anyone likes it or doesn’t, it’s solely the business of the author what they write. “Don’t like, don’t read” existed for a very good reason back in the day. I’m strongly attached to 2012~ era fanfic days, which tbh, were better. The fic quality wasn’t always as great, but the general fandom attitude was a lot nicer than it is now. I long for those days.... 
📚 - give us a rec! maybe the most recent fic you bookmarked!
Uhhhhh...... I again say that I hardly ever read, but..... hmmm.... I guess I’ll choose this one! It’s a very well-written fic of my original dating sim, Nightfall. Since it’s fanworks for me, it holds a veeeery special place in my heart! Not to mention, it’s great. O-O
