Lingua Fleur: Lily

♡ Lingua Fleur: Lily - 04.14.25 ♡ ------------------------------------------- This is a very sweet and short detailing the bond and friendship between two girls in college. This story is beautiful and touches up on the struggles and fears one may experience when coming out. It is a story which focuses on Yuyi coming to terms with her lesbian identity and coming out as well as reflecting on her past rather than it being a yuri romance. Both of the girls are fairly different with our protagonist Yuyi being more introverted & mellow with Yile being more the energetic & sporty type. This makes for a cute dynamic (,,>﹏<,,) There are some really cute & fluffy scenes with them. My personal favorites are when they go shopping together, when Yuyi does Yile's makeup, and when they have tea together. There are also plenty of sad & heartwarming scenes which bring our leads closer together. The music and cgs are also lovely and have a very calming aura about them ♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ﾟ. (๑T . T ๑) I will say I was a little disappointed that Yuyi & Yile as a romantic relationship never set sail however the friendship between the girls was still precious and they still got a happy/positive end. ------------------------------------------- ♡ personal rating - 6.5 / 10 ♡

[h1]AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES[/h1] Lingua Fleur: Lily is a slice-of-life Visual Novel with light yuri undertones. It centers on the friendship between two main characters, weaving in elements of love, conflict, and a touch of melancholy. Overall, [b]it's a charming experience worth recommending[/b]. While it may not be a story that stays with you forever, not every tale needs to be. Lingua Fleur is one of those sweet, comforting reads - perfect for unwinding before bed and starting the next day with a smile. It's definitely worth giving a try. [b]Story[/b] Let me introduce the characters first: Yile is the classic sporty type - full of energy - while Yuyi is your typical quiet introvert. Both are college students, and the story mainly centers around their growing friendship and the subtle, developing feelings on Yuyi's side. It's a slow burn, so don’t expect much action. But the interactions between the two are charming enough to keep you invested, always hoping for something more. Surprisingly, as the story progresses, it takes on a more bittersweet tone. Without giving too much away, the game does a great job portraying how difficult it can be for some people to come out and live openly - and how that struggle can affect their happiness. Ending spoiler ahead! If you're curious whether the story leans fully into yuri or stays more on the platonic side, read on: [spoiler]In the end, Yile and Yuyi become (just) roommates. This might be a bit disappointing for those hoping for a more romantic payoff, but to be fair, the game never really hinted at deeper feelings from Yile’s side.[/spoiler] [b]Diary1[/b] This DLC features two short side stories that take place after the events of the main game. Note that the content is not voiced. While the stories are cute and enjoyable, they’re not "must see" (unless you really LOVED the main story). [b]Visuals[/b] Visually, the game looks decent. The backgrounds and CGs are well-done - some are impressively detailed - but they tend to be reused quite a bit. It’s not a major issue, but it does become noticeable over time. The character sprites were probably my least favorite aspect. While the designs themselves are solid, they feel slightly out of place stylistically when compared to the rest of the game's visuals. [b]Audio[/b] The music isn’t particularly memorable, but it suits the scenes well. The sound effects are used too sparingly (I would love to hear more). As for the Chinese voice acting, it’s decent. The quality could be a bit better, but at least the game includes voiceover, which is a plus. [b]Technicalities[/b] After quitting the game, the language unexpectedly switched from English to Chinese - though strangely, this only happened once. I don’t know Chinese, so I can’t compare the original text, but the translation seemed well done. Everything was understandable, with most text errors limited to the DLC, such as typos and missing spaces between words.

This short visual novel is very cute, very gay, and very good.

Lingua Fleur a is very sweet visual novel, with relatable characters and a realistic, yet romantic story. It's very sad watching Yuyi beat themselves down over their own insecurities. OOPH. But that sets the premise for an interesting story, as Yuyi's best friend, Lily, tries to cheer her up. Will she succeed?.. I wrote down some translated lines in the 3 available languages when I was reading it some years ago, so I'll just post that here, so you get a feel for the novel. And also because there are some interesting differences. 好像从世界上消失。 I want to just disappear from the world. Ich möchte am liebsten verschwinden. Klappe auf, rein, Klappe zu, und weg. 把门上锁后顿时觉得全身无力，只想一辈子在这里面都不要出去了。 I feel weak both internally and externally after locking the door. I want to stay in here and never go out for the rest of my life. Nach dem Abschließen der Tür fühle ich mich sowohl innerlich als auch äußerlich schwach. ich will einfach nur hier drin bleiben und nie wieder raus - für den Rest meines Lebens nicht. 看她这么拼命，也很难继续生气下去。 It's hard for me to stay angry at her, seeing her so worried about me. Jetzt, wo ich sie so besorgt um mich sehe, fällt es mir verdammt schwer, weiterhin wütend auf sie zu sein. 雨点落在地上，激起无数个圆圆的水花。 The raindrops on the ground raise thousands of small ripples. Die Regentropfen erzeugen in den bereits entstandenen Wasserlacken Wellen. 真拿这种人没办法。 I have no idea how to be tough to this kind of person. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie man auf einen solchen Menschen wütend sein kann. I also just wanted to say, this visual novel has my favorite emoji of all time :LFLily1: Lily's laugh is so funny it actually AMPLIFIES my laughter every time I use it. idk any other emoji that can do that wow!

这样，就结束了吗？不要啊！我怎么感觉才刚刚开始啊！

9.5/10 比较少见的没有将恋爱作为剧情核心，而是以朋友作为切入点描写性少数在现实中面临的种种问题与苦涩的作品，拥有许多真实的细节描写，以及作者拥有非常不错的文笔和氛围描写能力，是非常具备文学性的一部视觉小说 就是游戏流程太短了，结束得太突然，以至于我差点儿以为是游戏闪退了（
