[memoria-99]

IkePri routes short comments and personal rankings

* All of these are my personal thoughts.

1st Gilbert

Traumatized villain with death wish. Not a fun route, relatively heavy plots, twisted romance, but a good "villain" route. Emma has real great mentality and very brave, loved how she handled the situation and the relationship. Also the best adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" theme.

2nd Clavis (Tie)

Four-dimensional troublemaker. The first half was funny thanks to all sorts of weird events and the second half was interesting to see dealing stuff this guy was secretly doing. I liked the romance and chemistry between the two. Emma was very cool and proactive.

2nd Silvio (Tie)

Sharp tongued, materialistic brat. Endless bickering between the two was overall fun to read and though there were moments that I wanted to punch this guy, eventually grew to like him. Used to wonder why so many people love this brat but I get why. Loved how sassy Emma was too.

3rd Nokto

Sly playboy. I think I like these kind of foxy character. Has a sad past. I liked the route because the guy was very smart and Emma was quite cool. What I didn't like was that the romance seemed to be leaning toward too erotic after the two became official.

4th Yves

Star-crossed tsundere kitty. The guy himself was very cute, and the romance between the two was cute and heartwarming as well. But they are both grown ass adults in their 20s and yet their romance was like that of teens.... why.

5th Chevalier

Coldhearted genius. The second best adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" theme. I liked the process of Emma taming him. But didn't quite like that the guy has the upperhand still. This was the only route that Emma didn't call her suitor only by given name till the very end, so...

6th Licht

Severely depressed one. I liked the heavy story and realistic romance. But, although he's kind he has almost no self-esteem, is a master of self-deprecation, and his past is seriously dark, making me feel depressed as well. I know he's loved by many, but just not my cup of tea.

7th Leon

Charismatic, good-natured brother type. Typical fairytale prince. Has a sad past, but speaking of past, there're handful who are worse than him here... The most ordinary route. I don't remember much honestly.

8th Keith

Double personality. One is very kind and the other is rather bratty. Whole premise itself was interesting but two are so different... and made the romance look like a weird love triangle.

9th Rio

Loyal doggo who always loves Emma. But the route was kinda disappointing, I think it's only meaningful in a way that his love met a happy ending for once.

10th Sariel

Felt more like a "common route" in other games where romance does not exist. I didn't see much meaningful interaction between the two. At least I liked that Emma did best in her role as Belle in this route, but that's all.

11th Jin

Seriously remember nothing about the route except that it was very boring.

12th Luke

A sleepy bear turned into a crazy bear.

PLUS

1. I love the ways "sinner" LIs are written in this game, including Gilbert and Licht, and how Emma deals with those. Instead of trying to just reassure it's okay don't let that bother you, she's like "I know what you did cannot be forgiven, nothing can change that, but I'll embrace even that part of you and lead you to step forward"

2. I love that in the two bastards' route Emma ended up 'winning' them. In Gilbert's it was mentioned that he's the one who was conquered, and Silvio's he thought that it looks like he's the one with the collar.

[corpiote]

emma... sometimes... you're really fucking stupid

Savage beasts

Before I start Yves' sequel I wanna share this hilarious scene from his dramatic ending…

It's quite long, so I put it under the spoiler.

Fun, honey, fun! It always fun with you. You got the words mixed up!

Yes, ask daddy for help!

Oh, no, daddy is the same!

And you don't even have to do anything for that. But it's a secret between us, blonde.

Yes, sweet boys, you have to help!

Licht, baby, since when?

Right, we have at least one mature person among them!

OMG! CHEV!!! (hysterical laughter) You still need to work on your flirting. But at least you put the book down.

I love that scene! The best self-promotion of all the guys from the first bunch!

Gilbert von Obsidian. Chapter 1.

Developer's Disclamer: Gilbert's Basic Story contains major spoilers for each character's main story. Please read with caution.

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

A few years ago.

One day in Rhodolite there was such a strange incident, like a joke of the gods.

A black-haired boy is sitting on a barrel in a empty alley, reading in an ancient language a book about the history of the continent that is difficult to understand, even for scholars.

Black-Haired Boy: Hey...why are people in power always rotten?

Next to him sits a blond boy with blue eyes. He too is reading.

Black-Haired Boy: They say continental history is the history of the nobility, but there are no good men.

Black-Haired Boy: Those who murdered their kin and gained the throne, those who expanded their territory by organizing other countries, those who turned a blind eye to the suffering of their people.

He would like to see someone good take the throne for once.

Back-haired boy : ...No, I wonder if such a man can't leave his name in history.

Blond Boy: No wonder. In a modern society where the class system has become common sense, the monarch who seeks love and equality must be eliminated first.

Blond boy: Once you hold on to power, you can never let it go.

His comrade reluctantly agrees.

Black-Haired Boy: I think humans are conscious creatures by nature.

Blond Boy: According to your theory, there are no real villains in the world.

Black-Haired Boy: Yes, because the essence of man is "love".

Black-Haired Boy: I like people.

The blond-haired boy thinks his mate is dreaming, but the brunette waves him off, saying he's just a kid.

The blond boy laughs.

The black-haired boy's red eyes were full of love and kindness.

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

Our days.

The princes of the domestic political faction hold meetings. They want to convince the aristocracy and ministers that a meeting between the countries is necessary. And Obsidian will stay for the meeting.

Domestic Bureaucrat: Their betrayal of the past has remained undisclosed to this day.

Ten years have passed since Obsidian suddenly attacked Rhodolite.

Leon says that Obsidian hasn't shown diplomacy before, we should let their representative stay.

Leon: And if anything happens, Chevalier and I will take responsibility.

The official finally relents, but immediately turns the bureaucrat's attention to the heroine.

What is the point of this woman? Why is she here?

After she was Gilbert's date at the ball, she's being treated warily.

But the guys in Leon's faction are protective of her.

Yves mentions that their allies don't mind her presence.

Luke sits next to her.

Luke: Eh, it's a really bad atmosphere.

He's here because he's the new prince.

Luke asks, tiredly and a little annoyed, what does the bureaucrats know about Gilbert?

Invincible Marshal, arrogant member of the imperial family, world disaster, etc.

Luke: These are all just stories. You don't know his real identity, do you?

Luke: Suddenly he could just fall in love with Mirana at first sight.

(No, that will never happen. )

Bureaucrats: 🤨😒

Leon is laughing.

Jin is supportive. MC is a beautiful woman.

Luke wants to leave and take the girl with him.

Leon gives him permission.

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

Garden.

Luke brings her here to relax. He strokes her head.

If she gets in trouble, he'll help her.

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

Their idyll was interrupted by Gilbert.

The beautiful garden turned to hell with his arrival.

Awkwardly looking around, MC saw a black figure among the windswept petals.

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

Gilbert: Hello. Perhaps you were in the middle of a secret date?

Luke: Alone. If you know, stay out of the way.

Gil doesn't like it. Luke tells him not to be jealous.

(...Luke doesn't change his attitude at all, even toward Prince Gilbert.)

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

Gilbert notices the sadness on MC's face. Has someone been making fun of her? She denies it.

Gilbert: I hate lies.

Luke defends MC. If anyone is bullying the girl, it's Gilbert. Luke steps forward, shielding the heroine from the Prince of Obsidian.

Luke: Because your very existence is horrible. Don't scare MC.

Gilbert: Eh, that's unreasonable. I haven't done anything horrible yet.

MC doesn't like his words. He doesn't want her to be afraid.

He wants to deepen their friendship.

He thanks the girl for escorting him to the ball.

The prince ignores Luke.

Gilbert: Shall we go together now?

Just the two of them, so no one gets in their way.

The girl is not stupid, she understands that he is interested in her for a reason. He wants to know if she is "Belle".

Luke: What are you thinking?

Gilbert: I'm only thinking about strengthening my friendship with Miss Bunny.

If she keeps looking at him with those sad eyes, he'll be so sad he'll want to kill her.

Gilbert asks Luke to come up with an excuse why he isn't there.

Luke is not happy. Why should he help Gil?

It's simple: Luke is of the foreign policy faction, and the girl is the lady on whom the future of the country depends. If the Prince of Obsidian doesn't like their behavior, their homeland will die.

(It sounds like a joke, but Prince Gilbert really can do it.)

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

1. Please give me time for a consultation

2. ....Even so, I can't take it. ✔

3. Okay, I'll go.

You could pick anything... But my MC is brave... or desperate fool. Maybe he'll like it, though. ���🏼

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

(Even if I'm threatened, it's not something I should take lightly.)

Gilbert: Hmm? You're brave, even though you're scared.

Gilbert: I don't hate you, but I wouldn't want to do something terrible to you if I could.

He grabbed her hand. The coldness of his body could be felt even through his gloves.

It's inhuman cold.

Luke: Gilbert!

Gilbert: It's okay! I won't be cruel.

Gilbert: You should know better than anyone that I'm not lying.

(...What do you mean?)

Luke: ...MC, if you really don't like it, I'll take this guy down.

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

The girl had to go with Gilbert. He brought her to the bookstore where she used to work. Today he had reserved that store specifically for them.

It was one thing if it was just a coincidence, but if he had it all figured out...?

Gilbert forcibly led her to the bookshelf.

The heroine loves books, doesn't she?

Gilbert: There are no annoying looks from the yard here. It's the only place where you can get back to your true self.

Gilbert: Are you pale? Aren't you happy?

MC asks how he knows about this place and that she likes books?

It's a secret + he likes to gather information. It's his hobby.

Gilbert: But it's your fault, Belle.

The heroine denies being "Belle."

Gilbert doesn't like lies.

Gilbert: Oh, is this the book you've been so fond of lately?

He pulls a black book with gold letters from the shelf.

The girl is startled by his awareness. She gathers up her courage and asks what his real goal is.

━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━

He doesn't want to threaten her, but wants to be friends.

She refuses him.

But she has no choice. The black book has fallen to the floor.

She has only two choices: volunteer to be friends or be forced to be friends.

He bites her shoulder.

Either she becomes his friend or Belle disappears.

Gilbert: If the king's choice goes back to the beginning, we can buy enough time to lead our troops and invade.

MC: ...Do you really want to go to all this trouble and time to be friends with me?

He likes her question.

Gilbert: You have the most beautiful heart in Rhodolite.

There are different criteria for evaluation.

Gilbert: Let's define beauty in your case as "a stronger feeling of love for others than for yourself."

(You don't have to know anything about me....)

Her pure heart makes him sick.

Gilbert: But you know, I think. No matter how beautiful a man's heart is, the essence of mankind is false love.

Gilbert: To pile up ugly lies and act as if there is love...there really is no such thing.

Gilbert: Even your beautiful heart is nothing more than a trick.

If she stays in court, greed will eventually get the better of her.

And he'd like to see it up close.

Gilbert: I was curious to see how the most pure-hearted woman in Rhodolith would transform.

Gilbert: So, friend. To be near you, the excuse of being a friend is the fastest, right?

(...I may not even understand 10% of Prince Gilbert's story.)

MC tells him that she will remain herself and not live up to the prince's expectations.

Gilbert: Heh, that's funny.

He bites her again.

MC: Please don't bite me!

Gilbert: Did that hurt? I'm sorry.

Gilbert: I like to leave a mark on my favorites. I mean, it's a sign that you're my friend.

Gilbert let go of MC. Turning around, she met his eyes. He was smiling, but his gaze was cold.

(......Looks like a real beast.)

She doesn't feel she can love him.

Gilbert's Masterlist

[cherryisagamer]

Luke's route final chapters, I just reunited all of them

so everything kinda went well and to my surprise, we decided for Jin as the king in this route. Interesting! And Luke stayed at the palace for one whole year just preparing himself to face MC again...

babe, always

Luke pulled a sad face on us but more importantly... FIRST I LOVE YOU THAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPY he's just serious about it

he also found our study notes for the palace life honey my dear 🥹

"You thought it was Luke but it is me... CLAVIS!" "ofc it's you, why wouldn't?"

THEM ♥️

I LOVE these end cards that's just the guys and MC, they're always the best! And with this, I concluded another route. Clavis is next! (it was already planned this way but he basically insisted with all the times he appeared lol)

[soul-of-the-sanada]
