HI3 day 5 (part 1)

Okay fine I'll pay some attention to the reading guide and go see the first manga chapters.

...mhy sure loves girls being impaled from behind and collapsing onto their gfs huh

having her horrifically spraying out blood while the panel also leers up her skirt is certainly A Choice. I mean, so do all the other panels, but come on, then? So glad someone took a cold shower before making HSR.

Himeko is straight lol

And now the guide is directing me to some side chapter in the game I've never seen offered, implying there are more menus I still haven't found. That's for later after work.

So uh, there sure are a lot of purchasable outfits in this game, huh? Which is completely normal for this sort of game but then why not any of their later games?! Let me buy all the cute outfits you keep designing for promo art ;_; It is so weird to me they don't. I can only assume it's out of some desire to keep Genshin and later looking like prestige AAA games rather than mobile games overflowing with microtransactions. I guess once you find the recipe to hit the top of the game income charts, you don't want to shake up your monetization strategy even one inch. I don't know how much it really matters, though. There's still a huge number of people who looked at Genshin once, saw the word 'gacha' and dismissed it as no better than random App Store slop, which is a stupid way to judge a game. Not that anyone in my audience needs that explained.
