Though the discussion of Episode V brings up a question: where are these events set?

One of the reviews questioned the use of Japanese honorifics with Emma, and then had some nonsense about cultural appropriation. And from that last phrase it's probably obvious that "cultural appropriation" doesn't bother me in the least, but it did strike me as a little odd, given that none of the characters look Japanese (I don't think Moon had even been introduced at the time).

But during Episode V, we encounter "Miss Security" a bit. And she has a patch on the left shoulder or sleeve of her uniform that says "Tokyo" (edit: though as I think about it, it says that in Roman characters, not Japanese). So are we set in Tokyo?
The game follows many Japanese tropes and cultural elements, but it has its own universe setting.

I just finished Hera's flashback. Nothing justifies Hera's idiotic actions, but her story is tragic.

This shows how cruel this universe that NiiChan created is, Hera had a good character and a lot of willpower to help others, so much so that that was why Emma's mother dedicated her entire life to her, after her husband and son died at the hands of the man she loved, she changes her personality. I think that, in a structural way, Hera is just another victim and part of the system of mafia families and murderous clans, dehumanizing, reducing people to a means to an end, meaningless, incapable of functioning as human beings, as happened with Emma.

The theme of "love and hate", which she soon took for granted in her dialogue with MC, was simply the best way to deal with her pain, was to punish the people "responsible" for her sadness, because it no longer had meaning in her life beyond that.
Something particular had changed, much more than sadness over the death of her husband, and I like the message of this game (intentional or not) that trauma can make you suffer deeply, or be a great force for change.


Maybe I'm just making a pointless analysis, but I still wanted to share this.

Hard choice:

Which path should I follow? Harem Route or Emma Route?
There's nothing wrong with that. Emma solo is a different story, go through Emma route first, but save the moment of choice just in case... keep playing Emma solo until the end and you will understand what this one is, but my advice to you is to prepare some napkins....:coffee::whistle:

after Emma solo then you can play the harem route.

I already made my choice, which was the harem route because I think it makes more sense for the story, and I finally finished the prologue; When I finally get to the end of the game, I'll take the Emma route.

Exactly how I did it ... Even if Emma isn't your favorite (she is mine) it's worth taking the side trip.

It's been six-months since I played MBIML, and today I downloaded and played from the very beginning to feel that emotion, especially knowing that now the update is a little bigger than the previous ones... It will be very difficult, but i will have to go through it again :D

When I started playing this game, I was afraid that the prologue would be long and end up boring, and I saw a lot of comments about people giving up playing because of this. Now talking about MY experience with the game, I loved it. The game has anime tropes, but they didn't bother me. The characters are well written, even more so than I imagined they would be, for example Hera who had mentioned some comments above, I never expected a story as tragic as hers, Emma then... Wow...

And NiiChan is thinking to some extent in making a solo ending for Gwen, at least according to him sometime ago. I wonder what's he going to do in that one, if Emma's ending is taken into consideration. :unsure::unsure:

I can't imagine a solo ending for every character in the game, he could do that, but the point is that if we take into consideration the direction the story is taking, the harem route is what makes the most sense. Emma's solo ending "makes sense", because she is MC's childhood friend, they promised they would be together again, she has an entire chapter dedicated just to her...
