i love dmmd but i have seen you reblog about other nitro chiral games, how would you rate them? like which game do you like the most and so on, I've only played dmmd and i love it but seeing your posts makes me want to play those too!! love your blog

thank you anon thats so nice!!! ill try to keep this shortish bc otherwise i WILL infodump forever. and ill try not to spoil anything

dmmd is definitely my favorite! it is kind of an outlier compared to the other n+c games tho. it has a lot more comedic moments and the bright cyberpunk aesthetic is pretty different than the usual nitty gritty nitro chiral vibes. if you havent played reconnect you totally should! it adds so much to the characters (msg me if you cant find a copy online) and im forever trying to get my hands on the mizuki recode route lmao

togainu no chi and slow damage are about even for me. slow damage is the most recent one and might have the best story that n+c has ever written. its the only one without any supernatural elements but i think it makes up for it with compelling plot. its VERY dark but i think that makes getting to the end and figuring out all the mystery of the game v exciting. i DO wish the routes felt more...equal? like theres very clearly a true route and its very clearly the best of the bunch lmao. also give me an ikuina route pls hes sooo unwell <3

tnc is the first n+c game and its showing its age a little (i kinda love the early 2000s emo vibes tho). i think the premise for it is really intriguing! theres some killer world building and really fantastic bad ends (if you're into that sort of thing). the character personalities dont quite hit the same levels of intrigue as dmmd for me but theres not a single one i dislike. theres an extra character in the re-release tnc true blood too but ive never been able to get a copy

i'll be so honest, i did not like sweet pool at ALL when i first played it. theres some fantastic fanart out there thats actually swayed me back around to liking it more but like. i didnt know what i was getting into and i definitely should have read a summary first. i thought the thing about youji shitting meat was a running joke. i was not prepared for it to be like baby meat fetuses and cult omegaverse stuff. i like omegaverse but i wish i had been more prepared. its a low tier game for me tbh

i havent finished lamento yet! it took me years to get it working lmaooo im still in the common route. right now i'd probably put it between tnc/slow damage and sweet pool. its definitely better than sweet pool but its not hitting tnc/slow damage levels for me yet. i like the catboys tho catboys catboys catboys

per usual with n+c games id recommend checking out a warnings guide first just to be safe but let me know if you play any of them or which ones you like! i hope this helped!

hi im the same anon :)

honestly that hc u have is pretty solid and i even had a thought that he might be autistic. Did he had a life similar to silver where he was isolated from most people. Also its interesting how he comes from sunset savannah instead of the shaftlands despite him being based on the snow white story not the lion king. Do u think because of his origins he couldnt really fit in with most of the people ( and the most people being beastmen) but wasnt really accepted so he started copying or trying to find out how they get along the best. But at the same time, it makes sense for rook to be from there since the place is filled with beasts and he is based off a huntsman after all.

'his off-putting nature stems from a lack of social skills.' yep i agree as well honestly a lot of unsettling stuff he says or does wouldnt be so unsettling if he expressed them in a more appropriate way.

also someone told that they hc that rook is a noble which makes sense considering he is elegant enough to be a prince (if we change his haircut tho) and if he is a noble maybe like malleus he didnt grow up around the people he probably should at his age or no people. and because hes a noble nobody dares to approach him and he couldnt really reach out or connect to them. but at the same it doesnt because i dont think the huntsman would've been a noble. If he was, why was he sent to do the dirty job not his minions

also i have heard that many people consider huntsman as a false antagonist. as as he tried to kill snow white in the first place, but he actually did it out of fear of queen grimhilde aka the evil queen, who threatened to execute him if he would fail. so i think they went with that interpretation and gave rook light magic.

"an interesting character design to him, both in looks" i mean his looks is interesting...but should i be worried about your taste in men.

"at least a side story that delves more into his character." yes i hope so too uk like obey me they have a side after finishing the main story theres a part where u could go to the opposite storyline and find out about the bts. id like something like that and maybe that showcases him going through his development.

side note, im still a student who is mandated to take the subject english language even if i want to drop it. I citied them because thats the way we kinda do stuff when we have solve questions etc and thought hey wouldnt it be easier if the person understood it in more context and thus using the way to use the method ive learned in school.

I love the autistic Rook hc actually. Honestly, I think most of the characters could be labeled as autistic, but maybe that's just me. I think it would be interesting if he grew up similarly to Silver. I do remember during the Halloween event Rook mentioned one time where he got lost in the woods and spent time with wild animals, and the story seemed like it could have been based off of the Jungle Book, but maybe that's just me. But, either way, that story does seem to indicate that he was either neglected as a child or just liked adventuring on his own. As for why he lives in Sunset Savannah, most of the characters are pretty scattered about in terms of location. I know Cater, despite being a card soldier, lives in the same place as Vil and Jack, so Rook definitely isn't an outlier. I think him being there might represent how the Huntsman abandoned his home with the Evil Queen after helping Snow White. Maybe his parents (or just Rook himself) moved out to the Savannah at some point during his childhood, but that's only a small theory of mine, and I doubt it's true.

The headcanon of him being a noble is interesting, but I don't think it really works. He just doesn't seem like the type, and him being the huntsman doesn't line up either. I personally like the idea of him just lacking proper social skills much better. Also, when I mentioned his character design, I more meant how he looks despite living in the Savannah. Like, I wouldn't think someone who lives his life would look so prim and proper lol, not that I find him attractive. However, as I was writing this out, I did also remember that Rook was in Savanaclaw during his first year before moving to Pomefiore because of Vil, so I think that might be the reason.

As for a side story about his past, I wouldn't mind a vignette of him talking about his past. At the very least, I'd like for him to elaborate more about him switching dorms. From how he spoke of it, it seems like dorm switching isn't a super rare thing, but it still seems uncommon, so I'd like to hear more about it.

But, yeah, overall, Rook is an interesting character, and I would love to know more about him. He has such potential and I usually enjoy his type in other games/anime, so I'm sad I don't like him more. Hopefully we'll get more about him at some point in the future.

(Side note: it is very late when I'm writing this rn, so if any of this sounds weird or grammatically incorrect, I'm sorry lol.)

new years ig

i know its a new decade but honestly i dont rlly see the “hype” of it that seems prevalent, its just another new year the same as always. but ig its a decent way to organize things.

i think in the last year alone a lot has changed for me, presumably for the better. i started work in february, lost a lot of friends/acquaintances (some by their hand, some by my own). life stuff wise unfortunately not much has changed interest wise. i havent gotten into any new thing at all, nor have i really had any new favorite characters. ig ive found out more abt some f-e characters from older games but nothing at the level of my feelings for sal. honestly media-wise its been a little underwhelming at best and disappointing at worse. go has done some nice things, like the bronze servants/ash/odysseus/ect but theyve also done a lot of rubbish things like guda4/”halloween”/mystery/collab so its kinda evened itself out. f-h’s years story and 16 have been absolute rubbish, and they only added idunn to the game. as far as anything else nothing else has really held my interest, theres been stuff id had fun w like rf and the jump game (rip g-t game) but nothing really substantial (besides being able to reunite w nizou ;w; ). ive quit g-f completely, good riddance. w the new years f-h is wearing on my nerves, but im luckily kinda thinking of it as trivial, which it is.

however, id take average of that stuff any day, since whats more important is my actual work and life. i think ive improved at work, and its pretty miraculous that everything worked out to begin with. but it did work out so thats very good. other life stuff is more annoying and troublesome, and will only present more trouble this year. loans/housing/ect. i can only keep doing my best and hoping for nothing awful to happen.

some of the stand out things of the last 10 years, entertainment wise. early in the decade everything was like a roller coaster, id get really hyped and totally in love with it, but then give or take a few years and whatever it is would end up poison in my mouth. id enjoy this entertainment but then come to realize its creators had a view that i couldnt even start to relate to, particularly that they tended to view others as outliers that should be killed off to fit their world, and this view extended to their audiences. i like to think the feelings ive gotten later have been better, i see someone like sal and evey day feel more and more love towards him. its a slower and more bitter taste but overall i think better. ive realized the same was true for the people around me, myself also, and try to keep myself from turning to that needlessly cruel violence and self victimizing that i dislike in them.

in the decade as a whole, ig ive been disappointed as i learned more. ive gone through high school and college, and now im not in school anymore- a lot has happened. high school was... average id say. i started to kinda grow into my more adult ish self then and everything that came with it. i first got into anime for the first time probably around the start of 2010, and its been something ive mildly enjoyed for a long time after. i think one important thing ive learned is that happiness and satisfaction is fleeting, and to enjoy it wholeheartedly while you can. “in delay, there lies no plenty. youth’s a stuff cannot endure.”

my goals for the year, for the future. work at getting over stupid things that trouble me, like being treated like a child/immature/irresponsible by others (esp those around my age). worry less abt unimportant things (connected, but more focused on general anxiety nonsense, since its a waste of time and energy). keep learning and improving. less important but still worth mentioning- be happier, save more. actually follow what i said abt valuing every moment.
