Ikemen Vampire Otome Gam‪e 17+

Hello! The game is a very wonderful and fun game and I like the aspects that differ it from other otomes. I love the battle feature incredibly. And, personally, I like the fact that we are only granted one chapter a day. It makes sure that I don’t stay on the app for hours upon hours. Now, I’m going to focus on a rather big, yet small aspect of the game. That would be the avatar customization. Perhaps I missed a way to change this but, I feel as if there should be a way to change your avatar’s ethnicity. Otherwise, the game lacks relatability for many. Granted, the player is described as Japanese, but I don’t think that’s a good excuse for lack of skin color choices. I would ask for a more gender-neutral aspect of the game, but I don’t believe that, at this point, is possible, since the game is almost halfway done. These encounters do not effect me, but I can see frustrating situations occurring for others. Those are my biggest problems with the game so far. Otherwise, I will keep playing and eagerly awaiting the stories and updates.

The main stories have been very good so far but my main issues come with the quality of the events and side stories. It is very much a gamble on whether or not the content of the stories will be good, especially paid things like the epilogues or popular character stories in the kiss events. I have spent plenty of dollars on this game and have been disappointed at the storytelling and “action” that they often promise the content will have. They also sometimes don’t even have avatar gifts for completing some story events like they didn’t have designs prepared or anything. There is also a completely useless money system of gold along with the diamond that you can’t use to buy anything but the normal bonus stories for the main storyline. I have an absurd amount of gold and absolutely nothing to spend it on.
Also there is some noticeable variation in the quality of art of the characters. For example Arthur’s hands are atrociously large. Like a seriously absurd size. And it is noticeable the variation in the details they put into the characters design. Like some characters have shading and lines in their hands that others completely lack. It’s just a sloppy look that’s disappointing especially for us that choose to pay money. Don’t even get me started on the scene of the night sky with the stars over the black part of the moon. That’s such a basic thing they could have avoided with one single search... it bothers me to no end lol

So this game is truly amazing and the romance is incredibly written but one of the characters, who should be the Joan of Arc is changed into a male, now named Jean. This is so highly problematic I can’t even explain so shortly. Joan of Arc was a real woman and her entire life story and significance had a major impact on women everywhere, it is essential that she always is interpreted as a woman. Her struggles were one only women could face and her successes belong to women, not to be washed up as a man. If there’s anything her life story has taught us- is to GIVE CREDIT TO WOMEN. The change of her gender is not only offensive- it is highly sexist and tone-deaf. She did not die her death only to be later dishonored and even stripped of her gender. I get it that this game is trying to appeal to straight female audiences but why not just use another male historical figure instead of changing a famous female historical figure? This is very wrong. If you really want Joan of Arc, keep her gender and write it as a wlw storyline. A real romance writer will know how to work with that, and if you can’t write wlw or anything lgbtq related- then just don’t write romance at all. Again, the game is written beautifully but PLEASE diversify it. Allow the MC to be available in all races, and allow routes for different genders.
