I do not understand Japanese, am curious about Angelique, and forgot if Angelique has any English patches or releases. Thanks for posting translations for non-JP-capable people reading your liveblog, I am very aware translation takes time and effort so really, thank you.

Liking this artstyle. It doesn't feel retro so I checked the date the game was released and it turns out it is fairly recent!

Also, I appreciate you joining the community, especially because it means even more diversity in LI tastes. I try to just post otome in general, but I'm naturally more likely to know about, and thus post, stuff to my taste. Long-haired LIs just don't do it for me, so I appreciate that they get love from you.

Damn I forgot that some people assume kids come with marriage, which is probably why the game presents the career/man dichotomy, as proxy for the career/family one. I really liked the idea of competing to be queen while also having love interests, having to choose one or another puts a big damper on my enthusiasm. Also, you are correct: in the United States of America people usually do not stop working once they get married. (Sometimes it's out of economic need for two incomes in order to survive, sometimes just desire for more money to make life more comfortable/enjoyable even if they could survive on one income, sometimes because both like their jobs.) It's the event of having a child that makes people consider "do I stop my job to switch to the job of homemaking/childcare for our child", not marriage. And not all couples have or want kids.

Bird universe? I am curious.

I'll be honest I am a girl and I never got girl time either, I'd absolutely love to have girl time with Reina.

and no one should get used to it since theyre all about to submit to me in <5 months.

This makes me even more curious about the bird universe.

Whether the devs did it as a feminist thing or not, I enjoy when rival/competing characters are not antagonistic. I'm very used to them being so so I always like it when they are not~

I feel you on choosing answers you would not in real life to be liked by the LIs, even if you were trying to play through by choosing answers you would. Real me is honest and upfront in most cases. Real me likes to self-insert but also wants to see these fictional characters fall in love, and sometimes I'll compromise my answer because I think the game will probably penalize me for choosing it instead of progressing the romance.

i know the guys feel ??? when they walk me home after a date and then later see me walking past their office window to invite another guy out

jealousy? 👀 fictional jealousy is so fun i love to see it

I love seeing what the LIs think of us, something MC can't see, especially when they are falling for us. Glad this game delivers on that with Felix. Although him being a judgmental jerk is not great. It's possible to be intense and devoted to your work without being… you know.

Felix: I just do what's in front of me. I suggest you do the same.

Sure!

Felix: You must think that if you act careless, someone will come save you. Is that how you've lived up until now?

What an assumption to make. Fuck off. As much as I do like sweet innocent heroines who win the day by purity of heart, I would like to also see ones who are just as good hearted and kind and helpful to strangers, but also can stand up for themselves and will not let comments like that just pass. Not asking to have her 180 her personality into some fiery sassmaster, I tend not to like those types, but it's possible to be assertive and not allow people to speak to you like that without getting aggressive or mean yourself.

Not sure if this is intentional or just a mobile bug. Clicking on Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4 of your liveblog sends me all to the same page, without skipping down to a specific spot on that page.
