Enchanted in the Moonlight - Miyabi Season 1 Main Story Review

 

**Reminder: this review is not spoiler free.**

I’m not sure why I started with Miyabi, but I’m glad I did, because it can only get better from this point, right? His route set the bar pretty low by being incredibly cringy. The kitsune, after all, acts very much like a sexual predator, is emotionally stinted due to his past, and is definitely an egomaniac. He’s essentially the love interest with a fanclub, the one who never had to pursue a woman because he was always pursued, and is fully aware of his sexual and sensual competence- at least, he tries to be and projects that he is rather well. 

Despite coming off like he’s got it made, Miyabi is the way he is because he had to work incredibly hard to become clan head. The major reveal of his story is that he isn’t a purebred ayakashi like the others. Because of that, he worked hard to prove to himself and his clan that being half-ayakashi didn’t make him any less than full ayakashi. When it comes to women, he entertains and has fleeting, physical relations with them, but doesn’t believe that any of them actually like him, but his power and position as the Kitsune Clan Head. That’s why any time you remark on him as an individual, it really strikes a chord with him, and is definitely at the root of his compulsion to measure himself against others.

One of the few aspects I did enjoy about starting with his route was how it made the differences between humans and ayakashis abundantly clear. Miyabi and some of the other clan heads lack what is considered basic courtesy and common sense to humans, so there are moments when Miyabi asks “why do I have to do ____ when I’m an ayakashi” that serve to remind you that they aren’t human at all. And, as pointed out before, he has a bit of a fixation on being an ayakashi and not a human due to his lineage.

In other routes, he is still very much a predatory prick, but he also manages to show a friendly and supportive side despite that. For the most part, he respects boundaries, but I think it’s more that he respects the other clan heads’ boundaries more than he does the MC’s, and considers her their property so he backs off in the end.

Enchanted in the Moonlight - Yukinojo Season 1 Main Story Walkthrough

**Because I’m playing on the Switch and not Love365, I don’t know if there is a love meter to show which ending you are leaning towards and how each answer influences that meter. However, after playing through the route 9 times with a combination of each answer, I picked the selections that will give the desired ending with certainty and based on what seemed to be best story-wise. 

For Yukinojo’s route, 6 of my 9 playthroughs led to the Happy end, and only 3 led to the Good end. Even without following a guide, you’re more likely to get the Happy end than you are the Bad end. I also noticed that picking the top option always led to the Good end.

Good: Because he’s pretty.

CHOICE 2

CHAPTER FIVE

CHOICE 2

Happy: It won’t.

Good: Hug him.

CHOICE 2

Happy: I’m happy.

Good: It’s embarrassing.

Star-Crossed Myth - Leon Season 1 Main Story Review

 

**Reminder: this review is not spoiler free.**

So far, I’ve only had the chance to play Leon’s main story route because it was free on Love365, and let me tell you, I can’t wait to buy the Star-Crossed Myth games on the Switch next time they’re on sale. I actually enjoyed his route and what I’ve seen of the game through it. 

Leon, the God of Leo, is everything the stereotypical sun-sign Leo would be- for better and worse. He’s charismatic yet haughty, a leader with a borderline tyrannical side, powerful but unable to control it, and incredibly sexy. His touch alone can give immense pleasure, and the sin for which he is punished is defiling a goddess. 

Spoiler alert: the twist is that his rejection of a goddess drove her crazy and defiled her sanity, causing her to fall from the Heavens. 

I seriously loved that twist, because it’s clear that the vague but not-so-vague ambiguity of the phrasing of his crime is meant to be misleading. He’s presented as a sexually nonchalant playboy God at first. In fact, the protagonist catches him and Teorus having a foursome- or at least some intense foreplay- with two human women at the beginning of the second chapter. Leon’s reasoning for participating was simply to see if he just needed to give a human woman pleasure to remove his mark.

Of course, it wasn’t that simple.

During this encounter, the MC manages to get herself into a mildly compromising arrangement with Leon where she is determined to show him the value of love, and ends up as his handmaid. Through their connection, she gets a glimpse at what the work of the Department of Wishes is like, and- as all MCs do in otomes- follows her moral compass and begins meddling, protesting against Leon’s apathy with her thoughts and feelings on love. 

One day, Leon has to actually go to Earth in order to grant wishes because their wish reflection pool wasn’t clear enough to be functional. The person he chooses to grant the wish of is none other than MC’s friend/coworker. What transpires is that the coworker is having a fight with her boyfriend and Leon grants her wish of “wishing he (the boyfriend) would go away.” MC questions him and intervenes because she knows that people don’t always say (or even think) what they mean, and insists that her friend didn’t actually want her boyfriend to leave. She asks Leon to use his powers to get her friend’s boyfriend to show up at a park while she calls her friend and asks her to meet her there. The god and his handmaid watch from afar in the park as the two lovers reconnect and MC gets a victory when the two make up.

However, Leon later gets a “victory” when the boyfriend turns out to be a complete douchebag and nearly sexually assaults MC’s friend. 

What I love about this plot point is that Voltage didn’t hold back from showing that people are absolute trash sometimes, and that both Leon and the MC had valid points. It was true that MC’s friend and her boyfriend didn’t want to break up in the first incident, but it was also true that humanity can rear its disgusting, ugly head sometimes too. However, MC’s friend remains strong and doesn’t swear off love even though she just had an awful experience, and I think that is part of what touches Leon.

I don’t think there’s a clear point in his route where we can say “this is when Leon falls in love,” but it does seem to happen somewhat naturally and is delightful. The initial small moments of affection aren’t over-saturated in sweetness and are enjoyable as the romance develops. Both endings were satisfying after a dramatic climax and I definitely wanted to continue to read later releases for Leon.

**Because I’m playing on the Switch and not Love365, I don’t know if there is a love meter to show which ending you are leaning towards and how each answer influences that meter.

For Miyabi’s route, 6 of my 9 playthroughs led to the Happy end, and only 3 led to the Good end. Even without following a guide, you’re more likely to get the Happy end than you are the Bad end. I also noticed that picking the middle option always led to the Happy end, while picking the bottom option for Choice 1 and the top option for Choice 2 generally led to the Good end. I did not adhere to those patterns when making this walkthrough.
