well, diavolo, it shows.

let me start off by saying that while this post will be diving into diavolo’s more… questionable qualities, i don’t think he’s a bad person or has malicious intent. in fact i think his idealistic, optimistic and adventurous nature certainly have good sides as well - mainly in the way he seems eager to be involved with his subjects and is keen on taking care of their interests.

however. i also think he often acts very childish and naïve. what annoys me the most is how all of the characters let it slide, because of various reasons. aside from simeon and solomon, who both aren’t citizens of the devildom, belphie is the only demon in game who actively dislikes diavolo and went against his wishes - and that got him locked up in the attic. for good reason, because diavolo would have subjected him to punishment much worse.

so, basically, diavolo can act freely without repercussions. combine that with his sheltered upbringing and it quickly becomes an absolute mess.

season 2; solomon (something tells me simeon and/or barbatos were involved in this as well, but don’t quote me on that) urges diavolo to tell lucifer what’s going on. but he doesn’t listen. and then acts somewhat surprised when lucifer’s pissed off afterwards, not to mention that solomon actually wanted to tell mc (and lucifer) and lucifer actually started to doubt himself because of this. so much could have been avoided if diavolo just told lucifer, who is supposed to be the one he trusts most.

season 3; the whole karaoke mess. diavolo thought it was funny to worry the whole cast as a funny haha prank. to his credit, i guess he does apologize afterwards and promise not to do it again (and then proceeds to do it again in season 4. sigh.). don’t get me started on the storyline with belphie. the one person (in the devildom) who didn’t like diavolo, and was pretty open about it. and they made him make up with diavolo within a day. goddamnit.

season 4; honestly this whole mess pissed me the fuck off so bad. once again diavolo thinks it’s funny to put other people in danger as a consequence of his “pranks” or “jokes”, and doesn’t seem too concerned with fucking telling people what’s going on. and no one batted an eye! they dropped the whole thing within seconds!

in general diavolo just doesn’t seem in touch with other people and their feelings that much, no doubt due to the sheltered life he’s lived. he acts incredibly impulsively, without much regard for consequences for others, and more often than not gets away with it because he’s the prince and almost no one has denied him shit or directly stood up to him. again, he doesn’t do this with malicious intent, but it also seems like he doesn’t quite learn from his actions when they do bite him in the ass.

#let me once again make clear that i don’t hate diavolo #he just annoys me as a person but i do like him as a character #obviously i at least think he’s interesting enough to write a long ass post about #i mainly like examing his dynamic with the cast #especially lucifer (which i do want to dive deeper into because i have a lot of Thoughts)#to me dia just acts like a child sometimes #also hello first post of 2023!! hope you all had a good new year’s!!#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me swd #obey me diavolo #diavolo obey me

Hello, hello, and happy sts, dreams~! I've noticed you have a lot of AU's of the Sky of Shards/Tears of Iron cast, and was wondering if you had a favorite and what makes it stand out to you? What storyline do you feel like each character shines the most in? Which one showcases their dynamics best? And which one has your favorite setting?

Haha that's a wonderful question, Ren, thank you for indulging me. These AUs have been on my mind a lot these days lol.

There are 4 AUs for Tears of Iron right now and each has something else going for them tbh. Hard to pick a favourite, it really depends on the mood and which one gets the focus at the time.

Who we are in the dark is my entry into urban fantasy, with mage gangs and machinations around the city's supernatural community's power. It doesn't have a steady storyline yet, and switches a lot between focusing on Zephyr as a reluctant leader, with inhereted right and power to lead his gang after his dad and brother and focusing on Skye who doesn't care about the mage gangs and their types until her being different from Zephyr starts to be a problem and so she decides to build her own. So it varies between focusing on Zephyr and then in turn on Skye, growing into their power and rivalry.

Season of my enemy has an interesting setting and focuses mainly on Zephyr building a somewhat reluctant conflicted friendship with an enemy, played by Leander. This story focuses mainly on their bond, differences and what makes them resonate together so well. Skye plays here a secondary role as Zephyr's wife and royal advisor, being a source of steady comfort with a flat character arc.

Where the sky ends is special because the story is ready to go in my mind, fully outlined. Combining my Tears of Iron cast with the Stormkeeper one is exciting and there are many very clear scenes for me, dealing with themes like outcasts, being torn between worlds and cultures, peace and war, etc. It focuses more on Zephyr dealing with his growing understanding of an enemy he is supposed to hate and serving as the middle way between three very different kingdoms. Skye represents one of those viewpoints, but it's Zephyr who combines them together.

How black stars rise is nearest to me right now, cause I have been writing it and daydreaming it the most XD. I have made it into a self-indulgent experimental no pressure if this is tropy and cliche to the death story with a very dark tragic start. It's my first ever try at tragedy and sadness and character death and various grief reactions. I'm usually very much against reading and writing these kinds of stories, I want happy edings and major characters to have safe plot armor. Maybe this is me avoiding all these feelings getting a release that makes it special. It's new and weird and easy to write and a challenge all at once. I was a little lost after first 5 scenes (and having written 3 of those), thinking of ending it, but now I got some more ideas where this could go. Skye takes centre stage here as royal advisor and princesses with incredible skill in politics who gains alliances by teaching a foreign princess the ropes. It's all very tense, in the middle of ongoing war, though more about the thoughts and feelings than the actual violent acts.

Anyway, I'm treating all of these as short stories without pressure and to experiment and get to know the characters better. Each story is inspired by a different existing story I wanted to fix by inserting my characters inside, so that's where the new scenes come from before they get integrated into a new and hopefully original enough world and storylines.

This has always been my process, which you probably know XD, but I have never been this open and bold about writing them out, making them public and "official" and actually writing them out. So this is unsteady territory, but also very fun.

I need to get back into writing before getting to the main canon story of Tears of Iron after the exams in june, so these AUs seem like a good warm up at worst, and lots of fun at best.

Thank you for the ask!^^

#writeblr #sts #storyteller saturday #this was an excellent question #thank you^^#you got a rumble from me today XD

I have received multiple requests, thus, here it is, a comprehensive topic wise book list and strategy to prepare PSIR.

Hope it helps, Good Luck!

Now, let me first begin with congratulating you guys on your decision to prepare for this exam. Although it is definitely just an exam but I am sure that many of you must have taken some very tough decisions and sacrificed a lot to begin this.

Let me give a very brief introduction, my name is Naveen Kumar Chandra, did my graduation from IIT Roorkee, passed out in 2015, I will be joining the IAS through CSE 2017. I am already in service, that is civil service, the IRPS through CSE 2016. My optional is PSIR, I got a very decent 153 in paper 1 last year but my marks in paper 2 disappointed me, a lowly 93, this also led to a great slide in my rank and I missed the IAS. This year, I improved a lot in Paper 2, securing a good score of 150, it is an improvement of 55 marks, which could’ve given me IAS last year itself, but I took Paper 1 very lightly, not even read the entire thing once completely, my soccer thus, came down to 130, this again made me miss the top 100.

So, the first lesson is, NEVER IGNORE ANYTHING, EVEN YOUR STRONG POINTS.

I have over 2 years, come to develop a comprehensive way to study PSIR, which led me to score good scores in both the papers.

But, first things first. If you have opted for PSIR, I guess it must be due to some underlying reasons, like:

Interest

Background

Overlap with GS

Scoring Nature

Now, if your reasons are first 2, then great. But, if your reasons are the bottom 2, let me clear a few doubts and bust a few myths. There is indeed a huge overlap with GS and it is also true that you might not need to study a lot of topics owing to your studying them for your optional. But, the answers demand different things, this was my mistake the first time around, as I didn’t join any test series, out of over confidence, of either mains or prelims, I didn’t realize that my optional answers and GS polity answers were similar, too deep for GS.

Then, if you have are in due to the scoring nature and the recent good results, then, this is never ever a surety. The results of a particular optional can go up or down but yes, a good student is rewarded even in a bad year of his optional.

Let us now come to some generic tips which will help you in your entire optional preparation:

Don’t end up doing a research project, stick to your syllabus and UPSC demands, you don’t have that much time and neither is it required.

Too many books, too much trouble, just pick one book and follow it religiously.

Make your own notes if you have time, you will end up memorizing a lot of it.

Always practice answer writing, daily, without fail.

Don’t try to impress strangers, by buying books with fancy names, and becoming a collector. Even if you love books, I know it can be a temptation sometimes, it was with me, but you will have time later to read them.

I will now cover the syllabus, as comprehensively as possible:

PAPER 1 PART A:

Although there are 10 topics to be covered in this part, they can all be clubbed under 2 main headings,

Political theories and Ideologies: This would include the theory of power, equality, justice, state, democracy etc

Political Thought: This would include, both, western and Indian political thought.

First and foremost, let me be very honest, I would recommend you guys to get Shubhra Ranjan’s Notes, not that they are sufficient enough to score well but, they are a very good foundation, especially if you have never ever read the subject. The process would thus be, go through the topics from the notes, you are now good to add to your knowledge, fill the gaps and complete your preparation. You might feel a bit weird about this, but as I mentioned, your goal here is to clear the exam and not to write a PhD thesis.

Once you have thus read the first part(a) as mentioned above, then, you have to refer to the respective chapters in the book, ‘Introduction to Political Theory by O.P. Gauba’. You don’t have to read the entire book, as many topics have indeed been covered quite comprehensively by Shubhra maam. The areas you need to focus on are, theory of state, justice(apart from rawls, especially his criticism), equality and affirmative action amd concept of legitimacy and authority.

You have to make additions to the notes or you can either decide to take up the topic from zero. I would suggest that, even if you are using Shubhra Ranjan’s notes, you would need to add a lot to them, thus, it is better that you make your own notes, in the process you will memorize a lot by writing.

Now, for part (b), western political thought has been covered beautifully by her. You would only need to read a book to get a new perspective and add a few scholars and their views but even if you don’t want to, you can do that. The book I would recommend is, ‘Western Political thought by Brian Nelson. It’s a beautiful book, I love it and its not that heavy a read either, if time permits, you must read it and fill in the gaps in these areas, J.S. Mill, Bentham, Rousseau and Marx.

Now, for Indian Political thought, you must read, V. R. Mehta, reason being Indian Political thought is not that well covered by her.

Also, you must develop a way to correlate certain thinkers from the same and opposite parts of the world, example, Machiavelli and Kautilya, Gandhi and Marx, Gandhi and Ambedkar, Ambedkar and Marx, Plato and Aristotle, Socrates and Plato, Hobbes and Locke, Bentham and Mill etc. Must make a note of the similarities and differences in their core philosophy.

PAPER 1 PART B

This part is again divided into 11 topics, I would again like you to club them into 3:

Indian Constitution and Government

Indian Polity

Institutions

For, 1st topic, you must get P.M. Bakshi, it is the bare text of the constitution, develop a habit of carrying it with you and reading it whenever you get a chance. Then, other very small but useful book to get a head start is S.C. Kashyap’s OUR CONSTITUTION.

After that, you can go through Shubra Ranjan maam’s notes, once you are done, you can add and fill gaps by referring to B.L. Fadia.

For the next part, which is mainly about the peculiarities of Indian Political system, like caste, communalism, regionalism, ethnicity etc, you can rely on her notes, she has covered it quite extensively, after that, you can buy Oxford Handbook. It has some beautifully written chapters, on these areas.

This paper, the first one, is more of what we call a static nature, that is, it contains mainly things and concepts which might not change. What you have to make sure is that you get the views of some contemporary as well as some classical commentators and experts.

PAPER 2 PART A

The second paper, part A is divided into 11 topics, I clubbed them into 3 major ones:

Comparitive politics

Theory of International Relations

Major Groupings

The first topic here is the most neglected one by Shubra Ranjan maam, maybe she took it lightly or maybe she has covered others better, whatever be the reason, you can’t rely only on her. For this part, the best source is IGNOU BA study material. Quite surprisingly, they cover the topics exactly as given by UPSC in its syllabus. One very great book that I would recommend you must read is Global politics by Heywood, it is an excellent work and would supplement the entire syllabus beautifully, don’t read all the chapters though, stick to the syllabus.

For the second topic, you can rely completely on her notes, she has done a great job in covering them. But for one topic in particular, the changing nature of international political order, you will again have to refer IGNOU material.

For the third topic, you will again have to go through both the notes and the IGNOU material, especially for SAARC, ASEAN, NAFTA, UN, NIEO and CMEA in particular.

PAPER 2 PART B

This is again a part with 8 points, divided by me into 2:

Foreign Policy

International Relations

This is perhaps the most dynamic of all the 4 parts. You will have to make sure that not only are you going to refer the standard books but some innovative mediums as well. Some very excellent sources are, apart from following foreign policy commentators and columnists in the Express and the Hindu, the website of MEA, you get some brilliant lectures and videos there and RSTV’S India’ World.

For the 1st topic here, you can read, apart from her notes, ‘Does the elephant dance’ by Malone.

For the 2nd topic, you will have to more heavily rely on her notes and the artices in the newspapers, you can also read one or two issues of foreign policy magazines. Although here, you will make, note of some country and region specific scholars and commentators, like retired ambassadors, UN representatives, Foreign Secretaries etc.

This is the entire book and material wise strategy. You must make sure that you have at least 10-15 scholars on your tips, for the entire syllabus, many of them, classical ones like Gandhi, Ambedkar and Nehru are very useful in Paper 1 Part A, while many contemporary ones like P.B. Mehta, C. RajaMohan, Suhas Palshikhar, Shashi Tharoor etc have written on a variety of subjects and thus can be used very intelligently in the entirety of the syllabus.

Again, you must also make it a point that theoretically static answers cover the core points first and the periphery is indeed the periphery, not the centre.

It must also be kept in mind that your answer must be a very healthy mix of static and dynamic.

Now, a few tips on how to approach answer writing, here, you must concentrate on the following points:

Be precise and to the point

Quote scholars

Write in paragraphs

Try to write in a good hand writing and underline important points

Make it a point to include the recent events wherever possible, especially in IR

I would now like to conclude, it’s a great subject and would fetch you great marks, some would say that they read it for 3 months only, that too only Shubra Ranjan maam’s notes and they succeeded, that might be even true but it’s an exception and their sheer good luck, there is no guarantee that they would even get a 100 marks if they wrote again, same is true for this approach as well but it surely does one thing, it minimizes your risk and you should always try to be sure then sorry.

I wish you luck, if you guys still wanna ask something, you can on quora, I write there regularly.

Thank You

Arc V and My Hero Academia for the anime ask meme!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V:

don’t watch period| drop if not interested within 2-3 episodes| give it a go, could be your thing| 5 star recommendation

fav characters: There are so many characters in this series that I love. Yuya is still my favorite character in the franchise, Yuzu’s determination is terrific, Yugo is always fun, Reira’s development was a wonderful surprise, Reiji is a wonderfully refreshing rival, Serena is cool and tough, Gongenzaka is just an awesome best friend type of character, Zarc is still my favorite final villain and Dennis’s development is both interesting and emotional. I could just go on about all of these characters even longer since they’re all so likable and interesting.

least fav characters: I think it would be Yuri. It’s mainly because he was just the hammy over the top secondary villain for most of the series. That does make him entertaining, but it didn’t make him too interesting. His backstory helped, but it felt a bit too little, too late. It also probably doesn’t help that they him defeat a ton of characters within a relatively short amount of time in order to hype him up further for his duel with Yuya.

I didn’t care much for Sawatari either, although I think I’ve warmed up a bit on him. I just didn’t like how self-centered he was. He came off as a cocky jerk and it showed in his dueling. He wanted to entertain the crowd, but he wanted the attention all for himself. It also didn’t help that people got on my case for preferring Yuya’s Entertainment Dueling over Sawatari. Not to mention they kept saying that his development made him automatically better than other characters. People getting on my case for liking or disliking a character in this series is practically a theme onto itself. I’m somewhat surprised that didn’t happen with Yuto, especially when my feelings for him changed as the series progressed. I still like Yuto, but he went from one of my favorites to just okay partly due to how overhyped I think he was. People were acting as if he was the main character instead of Yuya, calling Yuya the Standard Yuto and even claiming that the outcome of the series would somehow be better if Yuto absorbed Yuya instead and just flat out became the main character. I still generally like Yuto, but that kind of attitude does impact how I see him too.

fav relationship: I love Yuya and Yuzu’s relationship so much. Whether you see their relationship as romantic or platonic, I think that it’s clear that they do love each other. The group friendship between Yuya, Yuzu, Gongenzaka is so great. Yuya, Yuzu and Sora’s friendship is so wonderful too. Yugo and Rin are my second favorite pairing in the series. I love Yuya and Jack’s friendship so much and how they grow to respect each other. Yuya and Ed’s friendship is pretty great too.

fav moment: There are so many great moments in the series, but I’d still have to go with Yuya vs. Jack round two. That was just such a fantastic duel. Whenever I think about that match, Yuya getting the crowd to duel alongside him, Jack happily accepting defeat with a smile and raising Yuya’s arm as the victor at the end, I can’t help but feel happier inside and out.

headcanons/theories: I still like the idea of the original Zarc being within Yuya. There wouldn’t be enough of him to where Yuya could talk to him, but he’d still get more of his memories over time. The Zarc in Reira is kind of another fragment of his demon self with traces of his original self. If Zarc was split apart into four pieces the first time, he could be split into five pieces the second time around.

unpopular opinion: I think that Yuzu doesn’t get nearly enough credit for effectively saving the world. I can understand people being upset that she didn’t get a duel in the third season. That was a disappointment for me too, but I feel like people also overlook that she still had an important role in the storyline and had significant impact on other characters even without dueling. It’s also one of the reasons why I hate it when people say that she became a plot device character. In my experience, plot device characters usually only have one important relationship with another character. While the show focused more on Yuya and Yuzu’s friendship once they were separated, she still affected other characters like Sora, Serena and Yugo. Her relationships with them, along with Shuzo, were pretty important too. I understand that people want more proactive female duelists in this franchise. We don’t have a lot of them, but I don’t think that’s the only way a character can contribute to the storyline.

how’d you find it: I’ve been watching the franchise for years and I watched it right after watching Zexal. I never made it passed the first season of the dub since I didn’t care for most of the voices or changes and I’d rather not get the two versions mixed up in my mind too.

random thoughts: I love this series so much. Even with the fanbase being problematic to say the least, it doesn’t affect my love for Arc V. I love so many characters, so many duels and so many moments. It celebrates the franchise while providing its own story at the same time. Arc V makes me appreciate that I’ve been a fan of the franchise all these years. It is a terrific series, easily my favorite series in the franchise and quite possibly my favorite toyetic series. I love Arc V so much.

My Hero Academia:

don’t watch period| drop if not interested within 2-3 episodes| give it a go, could be your thing| 5 star recommendation

fav characters: Midoriya is so likable and you pretty much instantly want to root for him. Urarka is so sweet and I love her bubbly personality. Iida is pretty fun and his role in the Hero Killer arc made him more interesting. Todoroki is pretty cool and I like how his development was handled. All Might is just such a great likable mentor figure. Aizawa turned out to be a lot cooler than I expected, mainly due to his fight during the USJ attack in the first season.

least fav characters: Mineta is the obligatory answer, but that sexist pervert is indeed the worse. He might be the most one note character in the cast and Hagakure’s gag is being invisible. While I don’t think he’d be one of my least favorite characters anymore, my initial reaction to Bakugo was not good. I knew that he’d be the bully rival character, but I wasn’t expecting him to tell Midoriya to commit suicide in the first episode. His attitude in the first season in general, especially in his first fight against Midoriya, also hit a nerve. I’ve dealt with bullies who treat you like emotional punching bags and hit harder when they think that you’re better at them in something, which is basically what happened during that first combat training match. He does fortunately become more interesting as the series progressed and he was always surprisingly smart, but that initial negative reaction was still pretty intense.

fav relationship: I love Midoriya and All Might’s student/mentor relationship. It’s probably one of my favorite things about the series since they become like a father and son so quickly. I’m happy that I finally get all of the Dad Might jokes I would hear about before watching the series now. Their connection feels so genuine and sweet. The group friendship between Midoriya, Uraraka and Iida is wonderful. Their group dynamic is so great and sweet. Midoriya and Totoroki’s friendship is pretty great. While it feels a bit one-sided, I grew to like Bakugo and Kirashima’s friendship. Kirashmia’s concern over Bakugo when he was kidnapped and Bakugo paying him back afterwards made it a lot sweeter than I expected.

fav moment: I still love All Might telling Midoriya that he could become a hero. No matter how many times I see that moment, Midoriya crying is still so emotionally effective. The final blow during Midoriya and Todoroki’s fight in the Sports Festival was just amazing. The fight against the Hero Killer was pretty awesome. All Might hugging Midoriya after the fight against All For One was so emotional and touching. I wanted to see them hug since the Sports Festival arc and it finally happened, but at such a price.

headcanons/theories: I’m not sure if I have any at the moment. I still need to finish season three, so I might some once I finish that up.

unpopular opinion: I don’t really like the Midoriya and Bakugo pairing. I can kind of see why people would like it, but it just doesn’t appeal to me. I usually don’t like pairings where at least one of the characters don’t like the other one. Plus, after seeing Midoriya help Bakugo pass their final exam against All Might, I think that Midoriya is way too good for him.

how’d you find it: I heard about the manga and anime for awhile, but I didn’t watch it until it was on Toonami. I loved it pretty much from the first episode, watched it weekly through the first season and then I binged watched season two and most of season three within four days. I was enjoying the series too much to just watch it weekly when I could watch more right away. Plus, I didn’t want to accidentally spoil anything while looking up what to reblog, especially when a lot of people had already seen the first couple of seasons at least.

random thoughts: My Hero Academia is really good. It is definitely a shonen series and I don’t know if it breaks a lot of new ground compared to just executing familiar concepts really well, but either way, it is a lot of fun. The characters are likable, the fights are solid, the powers are cool, the setting is unique and the emotional moments are well earned. It is a great show and I’m glad that I finally started to watch it.

Thank you for asking. ^_^

Do you have a list of recommendations when it comes to otome games? You're like one of only two people who I would trust when it comes to saying what's actually good. ^^'

oh man I don’t think I’m qualified to give recommendations but bruh I am so honored you think that way about me LMAOOO. I’ve yet to play a single game that I outright disliked and wouldn’t recommend but I’ll just list some of my favourites to narrow it down!! It is time to go into my High School English Class Review and Analysis mode for the first time in my life!

also quick disclaimer to anyone that might actually read this: these are only my opinions solely!! not everyone is going to like the same games I do, so please do take this post with a grain of salt.

also second quick disclaimer: this is really fucking long I’m sorry I got a tad bit carried away LMAO. I have no way of knowing which games you’ve played or haven’t played, so I decided to just provide a brief summary for all the games I’ve listed + a paragraph or two of me gushing because why not.

1. Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~.

I finished Code Realize recently and if it isn’t obvious enough with my gushing testimonial, I really think this game is phenomenal and it’s definitely one of my favourites.

Cardia has a fiery acid in her body that melts anything she touches, and she has spent two years of her life living like a lifeless doll in a dirty mansion because her asshole dad instructed her to wait there for him. The story starts off with her getting kidnapped by the government but she’s rescued by a suave ass gentleman thief. And from there, she begins to journey on with this man and his companions, trying to find her missing father, as well as remove her poison from her body.

This game is straight up an adventure story, and I think anyone who likes steam punk, historical settings, and government/political drama, would enjoy this game. This game has a tooon of historical/religious/literary references too in case you’re a sucker for any kind of lore. The writing, story telling, world building, and all around character development are A+. While the plot isn’t overly complex, the story is definitely up there in terms of depth of narrative, and it incorporated a lot of overarching themes and messages that I enjoy. Two of the routes in this game are memorable to the point of actually being some of my favourite otome routes ever (San and Fran lmao).

2. Nightshade.

Basically a game with hot ninjas and an even hotter heroine. (Seriously, the heroine is gorgeous.)

Enju is your typical “kind, naive, sheltered” princess type of heroine; daughter of her village leader. However she’s been conditioned into believing that her worth as a person is measured by how useful she is to her village, and thus, is desperate to prove herself. On her first mission, she gets pulled into a political dispute when she’s framed for the murder of the ruler, and as a result, she’s ousted from her village and forced to run away from execution.

I really enjoyed Enju as a heroine, because the game starts off with her being a “I will live and die for my village” type of girl, but as the story progresses, she learns to place more value and confidence in herself as a person, and it’s done in a very wholesome manner.

Another game with a historical setting and a ton of political drama LMAOO. It was actually my favourite until I played Code Realize because it has some of the strongest writing I’ve ever seen in otome games (cough Hanzo’s route). Unfortunately this amazing writing isn’t applicable for all the routes but alas every game has its ups and downs. This game has a lot of “duty versus personal feelings” conflict going on and it is also a train wreck of angst and tragedy if that’s your cup of tea. Also like Code Realize, two of the routes are some of my favourite otome routes ever (Hanzo and Kuroyuki). Now this is just total shameless advertising on my part, but I lowkey feel like Saeran fans would like Kuroyuki, because Kuroyuki shares a lot of similarities to Saeran and his route also deals with similar themes as Saeran’s route. (this is just my shameless bias because both Kuroyuki and Saeran are my Best BoysTM).

3. Cinderella Phenomenon.

Now this game is the one game I’d recommend everyone and their mothers to play because it’s completely free! And despite it being completely free, it’s a lot better than the majority of pay-to-play games I’ve played.

The story follows Lucette, princess of Angielle. She’s still grieving for her deceased mother and harbors intense resentment towards her father and step family. Because of this, she’s cold, rude, entitled, and self centered. An all round bitch. But she’s my bitch, and I love her to death. Months before her 18th birthday, she gets cursed by a witch and has her title as princess completely stripped from her because no one can remember who she is. She becomes a nameless peasant on the street, and in order to break the curse, she has to do three good deeds.

This game has a lot of fantasy elements and incorporates different fairy tales; Lucette and all the datable boys are cursed and their curses are all based on fairy tales which is hella cool. Most of the boys’ curses remain a mystery at first, so learning about what curse they have and why they were cursed was honestly what made this game so enjoyable. Lucette herself is a really endearing protagonist, because while she’s never outright cruel or abusive to others, she’s incredibly unlikable due to her awful personality. But as we learn more about her, we get to see that there’s a lot more emotional complexity behind Lucette’s character beyond just “she’s a snobby spoiled rich princess”.So many times, characters are overly vicious and cruel to others for literally no reason but then the writers just slap on some sloppy and lazy “tragic backstory uwuwu” just to swipe it all under the rug and expects us to forgive them. This isn’t the case at all for Lucette, and she’s by far my favourite execution of the whole “bitchy heroine” trope.

She also has a very interesting and unique dynamic with the boys. It’s a very wholesome story with wholesome characters and I would pay real money to play this game if it wasn’t free.

4. Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly.

If it isn’t obvious from my gushing testimonial part 2, I really like this game too.

Our heroine, Ai, wakes up in a strange, Gothic mansion, with no memories of who she is or why she’s there. She gets attacked by a bunch of monsters, but is saved by a man who is in a similar amnesiac situation as she is. She meets other people in the same situation, and the only clue of escape her group has is to collect these “Kaleidoscope shards” that the monsters possess. So now she has to go monster hunting with a sausage fest of hot boys in order to escape the creepy ass mansion she’s trapped in.

This game’s strongest point is straight up the aesthetic, not going to lie. It’s just so damn pretty that I’m willing to forgive all its short comings. The game has an incredibly strong atmosphere; the manor is enchanting and beautiful, yet at the same time incredibly eerie and creepy and even frightening. Though I do think this game is less of an otome game and more of a standard VN with multiple character endings as opposed to routes (like Zero Escape). Because of this, the romance is a little on the meh side but I would still recommend this game even if you’re mainly looking for romance. The story incorporates a lot of cliches that I don’t really like, but it definitely has some really interesting lore, and you can tell how much thought the writers put into crafting the setting, and the story behind the mansion. I haven’t played the second game (Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk) since it’s not released for English yet, but from what I’ve seen, it seems to expand on the lore introduced in PBB, so I’m definitely looking forward to playing that game.

Also the game has some A+++ character designs. Seriously, everyone is just so pretty.

5. Collar X Malice.

Our heroine, Ichika, is a country bumpkin gal who’s also a rookie police officer, policing around Shinjuku which has been recently plagued by violent “X-Day” crimes, committed by the terrorist/cult group, Adonis. While Ichika’s on duty, she’s assaulted and kidnapped and when she wakes, she realizes that someone has put a collar around her neck. The voice from the collar declares her to be a sympathizer of Adonis, and threatens to kill her unless she works towards solving the X-day crimes and uncovering the ringleader.

While I don’t necessarily agree with the people who treat this game like the holy grail because I had quite a few writing issues with this, this game is still an all round solid game and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys criminal stories/murder mysteries. This game has a lot of “WHAT IS JUSTICE?!” as its overarching theme, which is kind of cliche and over done, but I think this game executed it really well. It deals a lot with corrupted police forces and unjust law systems which I think is applicable even in the real world.

Though in my honest opinion, I think this game’s strongest point is the cast of villains. I have yet to see a game with villains as complex and interesting as the Adonis gang. There’s all sorts of personalities, and all sorts of motives, from people who joined to retaliate against their abusers, to people who joined simply to exact petty revenge, to people who joined to exact not-so-petty revenge. Again, revenge stories are kind of cliche, but I think this game pulled it off very well and unraveling all the X-day crimes and the motives behind them was a joy.

6. Black Wolves Saga: Bloody Nightmare.

OKAY I’m completely cheating with this one because I haven’t even played the game yet (it’s next on my to play list after I’m done my exams) but I cannot wait until I finish the game just to put this on the list.

Fiona is a girl with an incredibly weak body, and because of this, has been strung up in a tower for her entire life because she might die if she steps outside. On her 16th birthday, she’s finally let out of the tower, however her happiness is cut short when one of the obnoxious princes of Webling barges into her birthday party and demands that Fiona follows him to the palace because she’s been faced with several witch accusations. And from there on, she’s completely thrown into a paradise of cruelty and angst as everything that could possible go wrong, does go wrong.

This game is only in JP because there’s no english localization, but a group of amazing people were kind enough to patch the game. There’s a second game (Last Hope), but there’s no english patch for it as far as I know. I’ve downloaded the patch for Bloody Nightmare but I’ve yet to actually test it on the game to see if it works and if it doesn’t work then weelllll. I’m gonna be really sad OTL. I’m not really sure how much I’d recommend it to those who aren’t really interested in it because patching it in English is a bitch and a half and requires dedication but I still mentioned this game because I am v passionate about it. I know most of the spoilers because of summary translation posts I’ve read, and I’ve been wanting to play this game for like three years. It has a really intriguing and complex story and characters and I love the Medieval/Gothic setting.

That being said, I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone since it has some pretty graphic depictions of abuse. Also the romance is kind of UHHH not exactly wholesome in some cases since you have batshit insane lunatic twins as poster boys (no overstatement) so the relationships that the heroine has with them is only going to reflect that. Still, solid storytelling and it definitely thrives on that moral ambiguous goodness that we all love.

7. Nameless and Dandelion.

While these games aren’t my favourites by any means, this is mainly here if you’ve played and liked Mystic Messenger, because I think playing Nameless and Dandelion are also worth it since you might as well play allLLlll the Cheritz games lol. Dandelion has some pretty abhorrent game play (unless you like mindless stat grinding) but *whispers* at least play it for Jieun, aka best boy, the one boy who’s route was so well written that it made all reservations I had about playing Dandelion disappear. While I enjoyed Nameless and Dandelion more than Mystic Messenger, they weren’t as memorable as Mystic Messenger was. Plus there’s no Saeran so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But I still think any Mystic Messenger fan should play the other two Cheritz games.

ANYWAY. THIS WAS REALLY LONG. IF YOU READ ALL THIS, THANK YOU LOL. I hope the next game you play will be a game you enjoy o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Forex Expert Advisor Management for continuous profit. Serious Money making EA Trading technique

Hi all people Alex du Plooy from expert4x and in modern video we’re gonna be speaking about administration of an EA now this morning I acquired a an email asking me how mainly must i optimize my EA and recalibrate it for future trading fairly therefore of that e mail i am making this detailed video why a making this video is you have got to see the rear optimization of an A in context of the entire EA administration approach so what i will be showing you is what I do to manipulate my EAS now i don’t say there hundred percentage correct i’m sure quite a lot of men and women do not do what I do and a variety of people have received far more evolved techniques however I find this process will get the job performed so let me show you what I noticed on the monitor you will discover about 16 charts and i’ll exhibit you ways i exploit these sixteen charts to control my EA buying and selling for a exact EA that i’m trading so that is the EA management a approach that i use once I get a new EA the very first thing I do is I again test that I optimize that I analyze it and that i create settings now these settings could be for a lot of currencies many timeframes and can vary fairly notably so that is the first step that I do then i’d forward trade that EA for one month making use of these settings that I’ve simply created and that might mean growing up to 20 units of settings then after a month i might examine the base foreign money the excellent surroundings and the high-quality timeframe for this precise EA and i heaven i would not simply go for the very best is what we have three or four the the very great results however i’d additionally even as look on the very worst results and and compare the worst influence settings to the first-rate influence settings and to fully grasp why precise settings are failing and fully grasp why certain settings are succeeding and is it given that of the time of day that is being traded is a considering of the maximum number of open offers or there is a whole lot of explanations however oh it can be been tremendous time evaluating the losing settings to the successful settings and figuring out the dynamics that create successful settings i might also then opt for a number of those settings to exchange live and that i in most cases do not trade one set of settings reside I trade a basket of settings and currencies and timeframes live that’s what i might do at that point so i might have a live foot folio and i’d have a trying out portfolio which is finished on demo money owed so then i might take the failing currencies in any respect settings and i might exchange them from what I’ve realized so far and i will create extra set file so I create more set files to first of all get rid of the losses but in addition to eliminate badly performing currencies and that i could even add new time frames and that i could even add new currencies then after that i’d forward exchange these detailed settings for one more month and do precisely the identical factor i might identify the susceptible ones identify the powerful ones determine excellent currencies unhealthy-bad time frames just right settings and did and by means of doing that method i will do away with the bad ones and add to the optimistic ones and that is an ongoing system from month to month I do this i’d also then relook at my life portfolio and say what it what alterations do I have to make to my existence fulfill it should i modify the currency might i alter the period of time she has changed the settings must I go away them the equal and that i do the same factor and that is an ongoing system you are not able to simply stop there each month I evaluation and evaluate my results on my trying out and demo platform and on my reside trading platform so let’s appear at this in observe to your monitor you can find some exams as a checking out agenda for the RSI envelope dealer now what happened right here is I validated for currencies on a quantity of timeframes making use of fully extraordinary settings and those settings had been made out of testing no yr you will discover 16 objects I ought to have verified 40 gadgets to get to the settings so those are the best settings for that designated currency at these designated time acquaintances that I might find after doing a little in intensive back trading optimization and analysis work discovering those settings and just by the way the gold standard settings are very seldom the settings that i take advantage of considering the fact that they’re the least more likely to repeat so i would seem at robust settings when I do this form of trying out so that’s the place the first set of settings occur and sometimes i’d clearly repeat like stated to used to be repeated they mentioned three was once repeated there often that repeats some settings with exclusive currencies play around with timeframes pair round with can see Sarathy who run it for a month and listed here are the results that came out after 1 months buying and selling and that you can evidently see some tendencies right here you will see set 2 is particularly really producing just right outcome with a tan Tien and also is producing just right outcome with a hero it hasn’t been traded every other different occasions if set 3 is quite bad it can be producing losses and losses so that’s surely one to restrict but before you preclude it before you throw it within the bin you might have obtained to understand why it is poor and also you also must have an understanding of why the other ones are optimistic so there may be relatively quite a lot of analysis buying and selling interpretation and that variety of factor that goes into this certain undertaking so what can we do about these underperforming currencies of time frames or settings we create new settings i might create a brand new set of settings for this detailed set of circumstances to peer if i will be able to support on that negative result in many instances it can be no longer simplest terrible results that we do alterations for for this as years of optimistic results but due to the fact that of what I realized from the rather good results I made some further alterations so I created a brand new take a seat farm and then mostly we simply follow the the bottom surroundings in the first month to one of the crucial lost ones like in that distinctive case so it’s a bit of there isn’t any ideas to this factor you just analyze and analyze until you suppose extra secure about the settings that you are going to run so that you didn’t run it for a further month and exactly the equal strategies then adopted on the end of that month you might have a seem at what which of them are the positive ones which of them are the negative ones why the poor ones had been negative and why the positive ones had been optimistic and and what you are able to do to vary the settings often to improve the results now the idea is as you will find you begin with a certain amount of pips that get generated in a month and you the proposal is to consistently strengthen your pup’s with the aid of inspecting the settings and casting off the poor settings or outcome and replacing it with extra constructive Rell so again here you create new settings you drop all the ancient settings create new settings and then you rerun these these tests once more for another month now everyone may also be completed on one account you can either have one account but sitting or you can do all of it on one account I are likely to do it on one account after which analyze the outcome in if exclude so you ought to start with a count with a massive steadiness additionally you ought to find a broker so as to enable you to make use of demo accounts for so long as that you would be able to tell an ex for illustration this very glad that we used the emoticons as long as they’re being traded if we discontinue buying and selling them they delete them after a month so as long as they active they will on no account delete them there these specific money owed so the same thing after a month to you’d additionally read relook your life portfolio in the light of what you could have learned after two months of forward testing you may then both leave your lifestyles portfolio if you’re getting excellent results all you and correct changes to your existence portfolio settings and you might even change the foreign money timeframe all those form of things and then transfer on so you’d ought to sits going you to have your are living account trading one or two or three currencies and you’d have your demo account consistently trading exceptional currencies and the extra the merrier considering the extra results that you may get the extra which you could analyze them and get the fine settings or the or the great advantage about this distinct EA and comprehend the place the sensitivities lie is that in the time of day setting is it within the goal or is it within the rate atmosphere the stop surroundings it is a continuous finding out approach now that expectantly answers the question how traditionally have got to I update and analyze and reoptimize my yeah that pro that is a component of a steady procedure now i’m utilizing a month year some guys like making use of two weeks different guys like making use of two months so that you may decide how most commonly you want to do it but I suppose a month is an effective time to give the setting adequate time to show itself for us to get results that we are able to analyze and move on to but you’ll see this special method i have discovered what occurs is your turtle normally goes up because you continuously go the getting rid of the negative you increasing the optimistic and you are adding different currencies that would have higher outcome than the ones that you just making use of and likewise you can get rid of a number of the if a detailed time frame is clearly giving losses always like for illustration this hero yen it is it’s had to losing month in a row you could bear in mind as an alternative of striking another another set file you could bear in mind just dropping that complete set they and exchanging it with another currencies and things like that so i am hoping that is giving you some proposal of to begin with how educated advisors will have to be managed and optimized so in other words i do not virtually go to the the method tester to reoptimize that you could if you need are not able to go to the process tester to optimize one of the most currencies however probably i love doing my reoptimize ation from forward trying out as an alternative than again checking out so i use actual ahead testing demo account and live account outcome to make a decision what what changes to make to my settings now if you are doing this with a quantity of EA’s then that you may start evaluating EA’s to each other and that you could begin constructing a portfolio of EA’s that each have might be 20 scan bills strolling all even as and then you definitely in a rather excellent position to decide to get the very exceptional out of your portfolio of EA’s that you’re buying and selling and in many instances one would even get rid of an a and from your portfolio and not traded live and most effective bring it again when the market stipulations are extra appropriate to that specifically EA so all of this can be a entire lot of labor as you will find i’m doing a number of work i am doing it for myself for my possess benefit and i’ve checked out instructing persons to do this but plenty of humans have severe limitations on doing this firstly they they use very dangerous information when they’re checking out to begin with and secondly they don’t have the are living buying and selling experience to make a decision what changes to make to to settings to support the outcome they only would not have that buying and selling you you clearly need guide trading expertise do you know that you also want experience on the way to optimize absolutely you want expertise on how to analyze the outcome of your testing and also you additionally have to understand learn how to manage danger on account that chance is what it can be all about if that you could risks a small quantities to make big quantities that’s what foreign exchange trading is all about so that you have to then practice risk management alterations to your optimize and analyze settings now not an handy job for the or the man or woman who works a 9-to-five so i am hoping you observed this fascinating that is the way in which I do matters as I say that is the best way I attain fairly just right outcome with my ei buying and selling and my ei portfolios is I do really quite a few work on it yeas should not a work discount tools they really a work growing tools and you and also you have got to do it competently to generate income in case you are making a living with EAS that you just have to perpetually ask yourself is what i am doing sustainable can what i’m if i am just utilizing the set records from a seller is that sustainable in the next two years and and i am not announcing that you simply can not earn a living that manner in case you do become profitable that manner you have got to ordinarily on the part of lady success but this fashion is a much more scientific manner we do various analysis work really homed in on winning combinations on a continuous foundation month by means of month in case you’ve accomplished this undertaking of first doing the optimization and then doing a month trying out then you’re much less more likely to have began with a negative set of settings in your live trading you should use your live trading results that you can either stop that you can genuinely trade them in midstream at any time you do not have to wait for the top of the month that you would be able to strain alternate them in in midstream from understanding that you have gathered up to them once more from me Alex set up i am hoping you’ve enjoyed this video I have got to ask for forgiveness i have gone on just a little bit I do get fairly this procedure given that it is this kind of original sense procedure it is some thing you already know that you simply feel everybody must be doing and it has eliminated an outstanding quantity of danger out of my eyes and have allowed me to center of attention my assets which is my buying and selling capital on profitable settings and successful will not be all of the EA’s are winning years so it helps you center of attention on what what to focal point your cash on and your cash making competencies on once more from me Alex du Plooy from Expert4x cheerio
