VN Ren'Py My Bully Is My Lover [Ch.1 Ep.4 - CV] [NiiChan]

[Opa Wants]

Wow....i just found the game and i didnt expect it to be so good.
I liked story a lot and almost all the lis and even if i chose 5 (of the 9) for the harem i liked the fact that all the lis have their stories and their own personal characters (even though some are much better lis with very strong backstories)
MC was pretty good (though i wish he would be a little more dominant and more fighter (he mention that he can protect himself so i assume he had some self defense lessons) i hope with what happened on chapter 4 we see more of that.
With this story and lis ... i believe the true ending and path is the harem path ... at least i chose this path for my main save
My lis are (in order by most favorite to least)
1)Gwen (my favorite)
2)Emma
3)Aine
4)Moon
5)Sky
If i had to chose for solo path there is only 2 Lis for which for sure i would go for..
Number one choice is Gwen which she is my favorite and even in the past she was the only one which she supported MC and chose him (yea i know Aine and Emma didnt have much of a choice be even so...)
and then second choice (though preety close to 1st) is Emma which i believe have the saddest backstory with relations to MC (and serious reason for what she did in the past to MC what she did was for both Aine and MC and she never forget the MC)...
though if have to give a top 3 my number three solo li i guess would be Ainne though she if far away from the other two. (she was also forced by her mother be in my opinion she did it more to protect herself and Emma and less to protect MC which is understadable but .. that the mainreason she is far away from Emma and Gween.
(and for top 5 ... Moon (i realy her backstory and the past with MC) and then Sky my little sister LI and i guess the only LI which was alway at the side of MC.)
I trully enjoyed it... and im gonna check the Sicae next which i havent played yet (i also liked that the story is in the same universe with other VN... from what did i get is in the same universe with Once in lifetime (i have played one of my favorite),Eternum (extremely good),Sicae (my next vn) and i guess Interim Domain (i havent played it yet).
5/5 stars

ps did anyone else close the door in the 3 main Lis at the start of the game? , i couldnt help it hehe...

I did for shits and giggles.

Same here

To be fair, while I also did it for fun, I also really think it's a good sign on how an author/creator wants to tell a story.

No matter how interactive VNs can be, they always have to employ an illusion of choice, because authors still want to tell a story, but also the more diverging paths one implements the more the project spirals out of control.

I was commenting on another VN how I was unhappy of the limited and samey outcomes of choices in that otherwise very interesting story, some argued "but that's because this is the story the author wants to tell", fair enough but one could always insert choices like this one.

Yep specially when they are meant to be fun and funny also like another game I also enjoy a lot for the humor that have choices for death/game over scenes that are for laughs and they always redo to the choice when it ends anyway, every new update I'm always looking for a new one . It ends up being a trademark of the author/creator on the mood they want to set and how they want to tell the story.

I really like this game but I confess I liked it a lot more before it became Sicae 2.0 and several characters got complete personality changes.
I miss when it was more light-hearted. In fact I would say the title and beginning is now misleading because it sets up certain expectations for the type of game this now is. It makes people expect slice-of-life with some drama but the game is now an ultra-violent thriller/mystery gangster story.
If I had known it would turn into this I probably wouldn't have even started it because I have no interest in games like Sicae.
Just my personal opinion.

Welp... the rest of the game is planned to be light hearted. The game only went dark for Moon's arc. Constant slice of life is boring and already getting boring. Moon's arc was a change of pace. Now you cry for the rest of Chapter 2.

Emma already has a Solo Ending, in case you didn't catch that one.

 

[Samuraiedge]

i am sure it was asked before but will emma be the only one with a solo ending ?

NiiChan mentioned he was pondering the idea of creating a solo ending for Gwen sometime ago. It'll be up to him if he eventually goes through with it.

Spoiler: After seeing this image, Gwen definitely deserves her happy ending

I am in no way belittling your choices or saying you aren't telling a quality story even if it has veered away from what I personally like.
I don't think the slice-of-life was boring but everybody has their own opinions right? I do feel the game as listed on the front page is now a bit misleading as to what the game currently is though. With Sicae it's pretty obvious.
Keep up the good work and thanks for your efforts!

P.S. I don't remember crying on here for anything but maybe it's a language barrier issue or something. Have a good evening!

Oh, no, no. It's more like my personal opinion, not yours.

yes i found about the solo ending afterwards .... but i didn't played it yet.
I don't have the heart to break up with Gwen lol (she deserves a solo ending too in my opinion)
in the future though im gonna play it once so i can i experience it (though i have spoiled myself somewhat from a pdf Character details/timeline)
ps currently i playing Sicae i also found it extremely good, excellent work.

When i found about the solo path .. i tried to play it but when i reached that scene i stopped Gwen is my favorite so i didn't have the heart to continue .. though someday im gonna play to see it because Gwen and Emma where my choices for solo path (if possible)... but seriously this game is created for harem path Gwen + Emma is a must have , then Aine and Moon too
(personally i have chosen Gwen, Emma , Aine , Moon and Sky as my Lis)

Edit: so i just played the emma solo path .. it was very good (it gave me all kind of different feelings)
But i cant help it and i have the need to comment that Gwen Deserves a solo path too... Gwen is the only other LI together with Emma that deserves a solo ending path.
I know though its not an easy job to create a solo ending so i just can only hope Niichan someday make it.

 

[Candy Suxx]

Now you cry for the rest of Chapter 2.

Didn't you already made us do that with Emma's solo arc.

Frankly I loved the action, gore and the entire past life connection that came with Moon's arc. It was something different from the family melodrama we have seen with other girls. I have no issue if we get to see more of such stuff in future but then again you want to keep the game light so I guess that may not happen.

I have similar favs Moon, Gwen, Emma, Aine but imo its too late for more solo paths. The mc is waaaay too invested in the story and the LI's to just call it quits with one of them at this point.

The emma solo ending felt like the last opportunity to jump ship from the harem storywise imo and even than it was already super rough (esp with gwen).

And Gwen is THE harem/cuck queen anyway

 

[warnik]

Emma solo path is written very beautifully. i thought it was like some other games which end the game by just showing a couple of scenes, but to my disbelief, it is a masterpiece. The whole emotional story of Emma being a mother is so beautiful and written with a lot of emotional maturity, hats off to the developer. Also, the ending is quite amazing and mysterious.

Hey, everyone!

I'm back with a little announcement.

Alright, I'm putting this out here so everyone knows what's up and where we're heading next.

So, for those who missed it, we held a patron only poll recently to decide which game we should work on next. Honestly, I did it to answer all those voices that were asking—no, scratch that—demanding another Sicae update. And the response was wild. A lot of you showed up, and I couldn't ignore the chance to see Sicae shine even brighter. Well, the poll's closed now, and guess what? Sicae took the win with a solid 10% lead!



Which... yeah, I totally wasn't expecting, considering how insanely popular MBML has been for years now. I mean, was it the story finally picking up steam? The cliffhanger messing with your heads? Or maybe just the dread of having to wait another year for Sicae if we switched to MBML? I still can't put my finger on it, but hey, I'm not complaining. Not gonna lie, I'm hyped too—really hyped—to see where Sicae takes us next.

So here we are: another Sicae update is on the way to wrap up the first main story arc before we switch gears back to MBML. Yup, we're closing out the Gathering of the Forgotten Names series with Episode 7. Just to be crystal clear, this doesn't mean the game's over—not by a long shot. After Episode 7, we're diving into a whole new series that'll take us even deeper down the rabbit hole that is Sicae.

And with the year almost coming to a close, I really want to take a second to thank all my patrons—especially the OGs who've been rocking with me since day one. You know who you are. Thank you for believing in me and this crazy project of ours. We've come a long way, and I couldn't have done it without you guys.

Now, as for Episode 7, development isn't open just yet—I'm still in my resting phase, trying to recharge. But once things start rolling, I'll be sure to catch you all in the first status report for the release.

That's it for now. Catch you later, everyone!

I like both avns the same but im pretty sure its because of the state the story are at this specific point. Mbml is kinda at a good point storywise for a "break" while Sicae is at a big cliffhanger and the story becomes more and more interesting.

 

[D4rkK1ng]

Completely agree with you, Personally i like MBML a little more than Sicae (i enjoyed it a little more) and if i got to choose which VN is to finish first and sooner i would choose MBML, but at this particular point of time and mostly because of the Cliffhanger of the latest Sicae Update while MBML is at a good point story wise is better that the next update to be a Sicae Update
