#can't have the npc outshine anyone

i wish dnd/ttrpgs were easier to schedule.

little things i appreciate about lovebrush

the in game justification for all of the card art is that the mc draws them herself. the game also confirms she will alter aspects for "artistic interpretation" so all card art, no matter how ridiculous or fan servicey, is affected by MC Vision

know how otome boys tend to be good at most things? there's an in universe explanation. four of the five boys are paragons: they appear in every single universe and will protect the world in times of crisis. it makes sense they'd be good at a lot of things. the fifth ml is immortal and. well. has had time to practice a lot of skills.

mc is allowed to be good at art, without any of the mls outshining her. even cael, who is also a skilled artist, states that mc's art has emotion and feeling that he is incapable of capturing. they both share a hobby and have different strengths and weaknesses, rather than cael being The Insanely Talented Artist and mc being the rookie artist who kinda sucks and needs to learn how not to suck from cael

lack of favoritism. there is no canon boy. and there is no "we can't say a boy is canon but you can tell we reeeaaalllly want this guy to be the canon one" boy. each ml has a universe where they are the most important final route, amongst several other things.

you can make your in game profile picture the mc, as well as several other npcs who have their own cards. you can also raise affinity with npcs, unlock scenes for a few important ones, and get rewarded for befriending them

fanservice takes a back seat to plot and characterization. even blatant fanservice cards tend to be in character or solely initiated by the mc (with the mls going along to make her happy). if neither of these apply, there's usually an in universe explanation as to why (typically because it's an au where the whole point is that it's exaggerated and ooc)

your friends list in game is actually useful - you can use an assist card from anyone on your friends list to help beat different levels!

the mls all have flaws that are seamlessly tied into their characterizations, and act as an extension of their virtues rather than cheaply tacked on last minute additions.

don't like a particular story line or route? there's several canonical timelines where none of it even happens. the world is YOUR oyster.
