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

Kugatsu500 · Oct 10, 2023

Finished chapter 2 and Emma's ending and I have to say, this game is really a masterpiece. Emma's ending was just great writing and made me feel a lot. Leah was adorable and I hope we get her in main harem ending somehow, specially considering after the end it seems to tease a next game where she will play some part.

With that said, as much as I loved Emma's ending and Emma herself, I think I will keep to the harem ending. I played with walktrough on, so that led me to harem choices all the way and after playing Gwen's and Moon's parts of chapter 2, they are just too precious. I also really like Sky and I'm looking forward to seeing how next chapter will go with Freya. I really can't just choose a girl and I blame NiiChan for making the LI's so cute, fun and sweet to be around. The only one we didn't get much was Lily, all her content was about her past, which was nice, but there was not much in terms of love interaction with MC, and now that she is going away, I consider her more of a friend than a LI. Naomi also has a cool personality, but we also didn't get much on her. Aine is just precious and Klara, although in real life would be the type of woman to probably steer clear from, in the game I just find her dark side quirky and funny.

So yeah, I hope harem have a feel good and wholesome ending. I love Emma's character and she absolutely deserved her ending, but if we can spread this happiness with more girls, why not? They all deserve as well. Although all of them moved on, knowing what Sky meant for MC and after discovering about Gwen's company and Moon's story, I just don't have it in me to leave them behind.

I also hope in harem ending that we get to marry them all, even if it is only in a ceremony. I know polygamy is illegal in most places and all that, but it is a fantasy setting and you can at least have a party and ceremony without having to sign some papers. Seeing Emma married to MC and Gwen's resolve to win a wedding ring really made me think abou that. I don' really like whem harem have this "main wife" thing, I prefer when all the girls are equal and love each other and just get along. I know this might cheapen Gwen's motivation, but having already married Emma and being already engaged to Aine, I hope NiiChan doesn't make us choose, specially if that involves breaking the engagement with Aine to marry other girl. If that happens, I hope he goes the open ending that he will probably go for Sicae, where the decision isn't made. From what we see in MBML, Sicae's LIs are still "competing" based on what Jess say before Irene and Zoey enter the burguer shack.

The music is also very good. Discovered a lot of new songs that went right into my spotify playlist. Gwen's song in particular is just to good that made me love her even more. If it was not for Emma's solo ending, she was going to be my top 1 by far, but with Emma's ending in mind, they are tied, can't decide between one or the other.

This is on my top 1 AVN right now and I will start my playthrough of Sicae and whatever other games NiiChan wants to pump out in the future. If they are half as good as MBML they will be great.

Now, some questions for anyone who reads this whole comment and has an answer, or at least some theories.

Do we know what is the deal with Leah, Maki, Amber and E? What they are, what goals do they have. I heard Amber appears in Sicae, I don't know how much more present she is there compared to MBML, but she seems to be really invested in MC, specially considering Amber's relation to MC and Emma, Maki relation to Moon and Leah being left to MC and Emma's care. Also the fact that MC probably recounts the story of what happened to E in the end. There is also the interaction MC has with E about his destiny and he seemed to channel someone else's memory or something?

Still in this topic, the teaser for 2024 at the end of Emma's story happens when MC is about 80, so that means the next game will take place in the future? The timeline between Sicae and MBML seems to be only 2 years. I wonder if that is the case, if Leah will be a LI in the next game. Considering MC was her father in the current game, I don't know how I feel about that, however your own mother is an LI in MBML, so who knows.

Is Lily perma leaving? She is still in the gallery and the choice to reassure her still give you points as if you were still pursuing a relationship with her. My two theories are that either she will back down on leaving, or that she will come later in the story, maybe much later, when the other LI's get their chapters and NiiChan get to give her some love, but who knows. In the poll she only beats Naomi, but from a few comments I saw, some players don't seem to care that much about her.

I guess that is all, if I remember anything else I might make another comment, this one is already too long anyway. Keep it up NiiChan, I hope I can send a few bucks you way soon, you deserve all the support to continue to bring this great content to us.

Maybe a stupid question but is the Eternum part a crossover or just the dev's personal interest?

I knew that they have different Dev's. What I asked is the mention of Eternum in MBML and I got the answer from OEJ. Thanks anyway.

Just respect the work of the author and wait for the public release. I wouldn't complain either if it get leaked, but let the guy earn some money so he can pay the costs he have with making the game.

At first I thought that VN is only good for wanking and when I stumble upon VNs that have captivating story it really change my outlook on things and start to appriciate VN more for the story rather than "OOH BIG BOOBA I LIKEY"

The difference between a good and a great AVN is that on GREAT AVN's, you can remove all sex scenes and still be an awesome experience because of the story, being a medieval tale of political betrayal (like Funbag Fantasy), a fun sci-fi comedy (like Eternal) or a rollercoaster of emotions (like My Bully is My Lover)

Okay, this is the first time that i write a post like this for a game like this (i usually just watch some old fashion shonen anime). lol

(english is not my main language, so sorry in advance!)

First of all props to the dev NiiChan. I came to fap, but i loved the story. Well especially since episode 5, and that says it all.

I am usually not an emotional or sensible guy, but this Emma storyline from episode 5 to 7 really fucked me and i fell in love with her character and story. But it also conflicted me since episode 5, because i knew this is supposed to be a harem game and Emy is probably not even the main char (Aine is). But in my opinion Emma doesn't deserve to be "one of many". After all she's been through and her true love she deserved her "prince" all for herself with a happy ending.

However, i am bit disappointed that her storyline finale was rushed so quickly. From episode 5 onwards it was crystal clear to me, that Emma is the main target for me to stay in the game and i somehow lost interest in the others. I wish her storyline was stretched much longer into the future, with some more emotional/funny events or even arcs here and there while progressing other archievements in the story with other chars. This certainly would have kept me into the game much longer.

But then, all of a sudden, it was totally surprising to me as i was not spoilered at all and did not expect this so early (i just knew that i have quite some episodes ahead of me and the game is still getting updated) i reached Emmas Solo Ending. And if i think about it, it was perfect for me, because as i said i was conflicted with her beeing "just" part of a harem. If i was the MC, i would have totally done the same (abandom everything just for her). This was absolutely the end she deserved 100 percent, and the ending was really really good and very emotional. Thank you for that NiiChan. (even though i was disappointed at this point and not satisfied with it because it came way to quick for my liking, i wanted to enjoy that plot much longer).

But i have to admit, and this happened to me only a few times, that i get sad if a story ends which i really love. This was the case here. I expected so much more to come and it just ended so quickly which really makes me sad.

I think a lot of potential got lost here to stretch this emotional and exciting storyline out much longer. But that is just my personal opinion as an Emy-Fan.

Well, i wonder now, how i would have reacted, if i played the game earlier? In the logs i can see that Emmas Solo Ending was just updated (as non-canon) into the game later on. So my question is before the update: The only option i had (and i sitll have, to progress the canon game), was to really hurt her feelings by telling her that the MC is with Sky and Gwen? And that's about it? Was that the initial plan for her story? Because i just read at the first pages of this thread, that there were no plans for Solo Endings at all.

After i finished Emmas Ending i of course wanted to keep playing the game, but i couldn't move on like that to be honest. Her sad face after realising that she won't get her "prince" for herself (and after he took her virginity) and knowing that she had her ending already (non canon), so that i probably can't expect anything interesting to happen with her in future, except of maybe some h scenes, made me quit the game at this point unfortunately. But i will probably play it anyways later on i guess.

If you plan to finish the game soon, then i can somehow understand that this was rushed like that. If not, then as i said i think this storyline should have stretched much longer (like that the MC does not reveal her identity so quick) and not reach its finale in the prologue after all, lol. It had so much more potential.

Please don't see this post as critique. I am just a bit sad right now because it ended so quick. You have created a true masterpiece with this Emma Storyline. Something which i certainly did not expect in a porn game, LOL. Maybe its just me though, i am a real "true love" believer.

Well my last question basically is: Will there be more Emma (canon) story or is she bascially just finished at this point (which i guess)? If she's finished, it somehow doesn't make sense to me to put so much effort into her storyline (not considering the Solo Ending at this point as canon ofc). But if you tell me that there is more canon stuff to come for her, maybe even an arc, you would make me really happy and i would keep following the game for sure.

best regards

Edit: Hahaha and by the way, it is really funny to read the first few pages of this thread and how people were reacting to the 3 "bullies" and especially the robotic-Emma, knowing already how she is going to develop in future and how it totally made sense how she acted. Really a joy to read and proves that this really is a masterpiece.

As a fan of Emy's Ending myself, I went into it knowing it was the ending I wanted to see AND knowing I planned to continue on the harem route after finishing it ... and I was still blown away by the story that was told. It didn't actually feel rushed to me (it was actually longer than I expected, maybe the break-away from everyone was rushed, but that's it) and I think it's one of the best stories (by itself) in this genera in my opinion.

That said, continuing with the harem wasn't as painful to me as it might have been (mostly 'cause I'd gone through all the LoF paths) because you're not really rejecting Emma, and even though it makes her sad in the moment, she recovers quickly and is ready to move on as long as you are staying in her life.

In the story, she WANTS you to save Aine from her family, which you objectively can't do if you leave with her, so even though realizing her childhood dream won't go exactly as planned, you're still back in her life properly now, not just at arms length, so the dream is restored, just a bit different than it had been.

Thanks for your reply.

I think you missunderstood me. The ending itself was very good and it did not seem rushed. However the timing of her ending was too early for me. Would have loved to see this plot through the main story much longer. He probably found out too early about her identity imo.

But i still wonder what the initial plan for Emma was, if there was no Solo Ending planned.
