I've been pretty busy recently and had neither brain power for reading nor time to search for more fan patches. I have a plan how to change that but we'll see how it goes.
Hopefully, I'll have something new to post soon(ish).

Well, it took me a few months but I finally managed to finish The Villainess Just Wants To Eat.
It was an extremely cute and fun experience, from start to finish. The romance is sweet, art is pretty and the limited voice acting does its job really well. I like how the food is used as means of getting to know and opening up to others - it's a nice thematic addition besides being MC's favourite activity. I wish we got to see some of it though as all of the meals and desserts sound delicious.
Check it out if you want a short and sweet isekai story.
Now with that out of the way I'm hoping to slowly get back to reading VNs on the regular. I'll be starting with other short titles soon and build up towards something more ambitious like STEINS;GATE (no, I haven't read it yet). Wish me luck!
Current Hundred Line progress: 26/100! and i'm completely sold now
Spoilers for multiple Hundred Line routes (I'm listing them at the beginning)
I've watched Mangocake now clear the Coming of Age, 2nd Scenario, Rebellion, Goodbye Eito, Conspiracy, Cult of Takumi, Eva and Multiple Eitos routes. The last one was my absolute favourite so far. Like brain-chemistry-alteringly good. The routes are hit or miss overall (especially the Conspiracy one), and sometimes severely undercooked (looking at Rebellion here), but the ones that do hit, hit hard.
2nd scenario has had the highest production value by far, so I guess it's supposed to be the closest thing to a true end? It was definitely very emotional, but I didn't agree with it :/ Having everyone sacrifice themselves and leave Nozomi behind wasn't very satisfying. (not to mention that Takumi effectively managed to make everything worse in this route, compared to route 0)
Eva route felt like a better rebellion route (and even had more positive consequences?). The kaiju fight between commander!Eva and V'exhness was pretty cool and the romance between Eva and Takumi was sweet as well.
Multiple Eitos is an absolute feast for toxic yaoi fans, like, a 4-course menu of nuclear level toxicity. When Takumi kept committing suicide in order to torture Eito who was trying to take over his body from the inside, I was clinging to the screen sickos-style. Delicious ๐ฅฐ Kodaka also confirmed that they're looking into a DLC, but I hope for an update first so they can fix all the spelling mistakes in the English localization and maybe flesh out existing routes a little bit more?
