I don’t play much otome / visual novels games cuz I just cringe at damsel-in-distress / mary sue tropes and general romance. (Ironic that I’m an x-reader fanfic writer.) Anyways…

My Vow to My Liege IS REALLY GOOD OKAY.

10/10 art, voice acting (ohmygod, YiGuang’s voice can pull me out of my anxiety attacks), interesting plotline of politics, intrigue, drama, mixed with fantasy inspired by Chinese mythology and philosophy. MC literally kicks ass, she’s no damsel in need of saving. Another female character, Shao Jiang, who’s just as badass and fiery. (She’s adorable I love her.)

The con is instead of being romance-focused, the game really drives itself through the plot. (Which works for me cuz I don’t like much romance-driven stories.) The relationships still works though and make sense. (I’ve only played 2 routes – YiGuang and GuoJian.) It’s just a game worth experiencing. 

Okay, that’s it. Just dropping that here. Bye. Play it. It’s nice.
