Harem games are supposed to be happy and fun, for the most part anyway they don't have to be comedies, but I haven't finished Episode 2 yet and this is one of the saddest games I've ever played. Really hope things get more cheerful
There is plenty of great humour and happy and fun times here I think. But there is probably more in MBML, comparatively. However, while the comedy is great, in my opinion Niichan is at their best when writing the violent and the tragic, the tear-jerking and the heartbreaking. Sicae leans more toward violent and tragic, while MBML leans more toward tear-jerking and heartbreaking.

Good to know but not very encouraging. Like, I am liking the game, don't get me wrong, I just wish it was a bit less doom and gloom. I'm not saying it's entirely doom and gloom.

Might try MBML after this if it's a somewhat happier game, just hope both of these will have happy endings even if the path to get there isn't the happiest

I was now able to finish Sicae. I did remember some things from a former playthrough of LCC, but that was quite a time ago. Because of this and knowing there were some changes to the first 4 chapters, I played through everything from the beginning. And I do liked it again! Man, what to say, it was quite eventful until the end of chapter 5. Not many devs here are capable to write a decent story and pair it with decent renders. Most of the time one side lacks or both, and in some cases there is drama added for the sake of drama without making any sense. But NiiChan, well, NiiChan is on top of that. Not only are the renders top, the animations, too. You can argue it's just HS, but take a look at other games, not every HS game has such clear renders and animations. They're often grainy and feel empty. Models often look unnatural, girls with overly big proportions and MCs and other males look dumb and ugly and would be better left out of the picture. Here we have a decend looking MC and the girls vary in looks, too. Some with a slightly bigger some with more petite proportions. And then the story, man, we have everything: drama, violence, love, sex and a fuckload of beautiful girls. And the most important part for me is, that it feels organic, not forced. And no forced love rival or atagonist "to spice things up" as many other mediocre (and below) writers try. As we can see, there is no need for such thing. For everyone, that played the latest installment of MBML, we have quite a few characters, that are already known, but in their younger selfs. I found myself quite a few times looking at the "Who's Who" guide, that Bacienvu88 provided, to refresh my memories. Thank you for that guide, very good work and very helpful!! It shows how dedicated the fans of the NiiChan games are and how good the games are. Nothing we see all to often. Last but not least, the story is the main focus, and that's very good in my opinion. I would even go as far and say, this isn't a porn game/VN, it's a story driven VN with some lewd elements. Something that keeps people including me to come back and enjoy the journey. After all that is possible because of the big updates everytime and the good writing. I look forward to the next updates of MBML and Sicae! Keep up the fantastic work everyone involved and thank you for sharing these captivating stories!

Dont worry., it has a good ending when we get to it.

She's the same early on. Gets better later? I'll leave that to you. Just grit your teeth as you interact with her. :KEK:
Note: She has her reasons. But I can't blame you.
I suppose I won't know till I try it. She was the main reason I stopped playing the original game since she really got on my nerves. To be honest I was hoping there would be a choice like this.:KEK:

glancing through the comments i gather this VN is rather dark - is it like God's Call "make player feel like shit" level of dark or not so bad?

I don't think of this game as 'dark'. Sure there's a lot of violence, but so far it's not like there's physical/mental abuse from the MC onto any of the girls(which I don't like), and the story isn't a complete mind fuck(yet) although there are some WTF moments. There was 1 part that made me say 'holy shit' out loud but personally I though it wasn't that bad(as an example I got hit harder after reading the first chapter of Promised Neverland).

It is not dark in the sense that everyone is miserable all of the time. Most allied characters who manage to stay alive are living fairly good lives. It is just that quite a lot of characters die, especially friends, parents and other relatives of MC and his LIs.

If by "now" you mean for the foreseeable future of the universe. Femdom (or for that matter, ASNY dom path) is such a turn-off. I don't sub for anyone. If I cannot have a relationship with Yuna without the femdom, then to hell with her.
he means she wont be doming you. Its just a one off scene to kinda show her attitude. She will become more malleable as the story goes
