My Butler

I can't even... Just because the name is "My Butler" don't expect to be pampered, like, at all. Butler my a**. The story is shallow, LI's are di*ks, MC is a shambling mess. As a person who likes to write quiet long-ish and detailed reviews I feel tired even this much. Here on out is my complaints about the story and I'll try to express them without spoilers: MC is weak, one of the weakest I've ever seen. She sees dudes pushing him around & harassing him as an expression of love. She sees obsessive behaviour as love. She not only lacks eyes but also common sense, hell, a brain even. The LIs in this game are actually three very famous dudes who work for MC's aunt (agency) and they are ordered to serve MC as a butler for 3 months to "learn how to treat a woman appropriately" All of them are a**holes from the beginning. Dudes here literally compete with the Office Lover LI regarding being di*kwads. I mean, I wasn't expecting Alfred-type butlers obviously since the game being Otome and all but I wasn't expecting to get insulted, sexually harassed, played, obsessed over either. Shohei is literally an a**. Yosuke is similar, but if I had to choose someone among the three -and if my life depended on it- I could FEIGN interest towards him. I don't even want to talk about the hot pile of *hit called Makoto. I left him to the end, and throughout the routes of other LI's he was all shy and cute, but BOI is he an obsessive maniac. Let alone having him as a LI, or a friend, I wouldn't want to be around that dude even as an acquaintance. Like a good amount of Dogen games, LIs' character designs (faces) are the same, hair and clothes are different. The artwork was nice. I wouldn't recommend playing it even on a sale. - I played it just because it was in the bundle-

My Butler is not everyone's cup of tea. First of all, the love interests are not real butlers at all, but celebrities, and each man has his own, let’s say, eccentric personality that some may find upsetting. The story isn’t deep; one could even say it’s rather shallow and boring. However, it’s not very long, so I could tolerate it. (yay) These kinds of games remind me of the glorious era of the Shall We Date series I used to play on my phone. Not to compare of course, SWD was much better than this but it still gives off a mobile game vibe (which it probably was originally). I did, however, like the CGs and romantic moments. So, if you’re looking for a short and light otome (and like 'bad boys'), I recommend it.

Oh my god. How? How can a game be this bad? Premise is dumb, graphics are mediocre, music is just so meh. And characters! MC - so progressive! It's really rare for developers to give some exposure to people with speech disorder such as stuttering. So inclusive, really. Too bad that's the only character trait she has. As for the dudes: Yonekura - hate him; Kira - hate him more; Kamisaki - thought he'll be cute, but he turned out to be a scary creep. And what the ♥♥♥♥ with these games and sexual assault?? Anyway, I hate this game and I hate myself for wasting my time on reading such trash. 0/10 want to off myself.

Not my cup of tea.

岂是一个“烂”字了得！

I just couldn't bring myself to finish even the first route I chose. The guy is abusive AF and you're supposed to love it to get a good ending. No thanks. It's a shame because I really liked the artwork.

Ive only played 2 of 3 butlers (Shohei and Makoto)........ and I'm very disappointed. I didnt read any reviews before starting the game but, Im glad Im not the only way that feels like this game could have been better. First issue: When reading the prologue, the game forces you to pick 1 of the 3 guys to help train you to be a lady and in-turn you help them respect women. The game dialogue says that at the end of 3 months we grade them. How are we supposed to grade them when we can only focus on 1!!!! This is when the game has 3 not so different game story-lines when it should be 1 main story-line with options effectively taking you to your chosen guy. Granted, depending who you pick, the areas you go to can change. But that can still work that into a 1 main story-line game..... If youve played the game youll know what I mean. Second issue: As stated before, the butlers are meant to help you become a lady. This should have been a bigger part of the game! Makoto helps you ONCE with knowing the correct order of dinnerware. Thats all I got. The story was more about the love aspect of things which I will go into shortly. Since the love was all the story cared about, I didnt get to see the development of the guys becoming butlers (other-than being asked to sometimes do a chore), and I had no development of the main character becoming a lady. The event I was being 'trained' for (christmas party), ended being so short and almost useless and no feedback from other guests. Even lines like "look at that young lady, isnt she just so well mannered" would have ok. But we had none of that. Both dudes I picked were fixated on being stuck onto the main character like glue. If they werent near us for a second, then they would be told off. Im sorry if i am wrong, but a butlers job isnt to be glued to the master at all times and to help undress them or bathe them by getting into the bath as well when first meeting. Youd think the guys would have had a crash course. Third issue: All the guys have UNATTRACTIVE PERSONALITIES! So creepy and clingy and it doesnt flow well with the story line! Makoto starts off pretty cute, but then becomes possessive up to the point where he needs to know what you and another butler talked about, you need to thank just him and not anyone else for group efforts as he'll become a little ♥♥♥♥♥ if you dont. Shohei was a creep from the start. I did kinda like how he states at the end of the first chapter that he was just 'acting'..... but he doesnt get any better. Even after telling him off, he doesnt improve and consider what youve just said. The guys are more frustrating than anything. They also treat the main character like a piece of ♥♥♥♥ and as an object. I'd be more fine with it, if they understood over time with what they did was wrong. But nope. If i had the options, Id be failing all the guys and be telling them off constantly. Which brings me to... Fourth issue: THE PACE OF THE STORY IS GARBAGE. The butlers get feelings straight away. No reason other than "there was something about you" or "when i first saw you..blah blah blah". Even Makoto could have gotten to know the main character after being apart from each other for 10 years. The falling in love happens waaaaaaayyyyyy too soon. With what the prologue had set out to be, the love should have happened towards the end. Not in chapters 3 or 4. The main character gives in to them way too fast and you dont get any options to turn them down for any ridiculous behaviour. The main character states to other butlers that its ok because thats how they show their love. If you like being treated like ♥♥♥♥ by ♥♥♥♥♥♥ guys then this is your game. This game had so much more potential and I feel like the developers could have made a really good story if they hadnt stuffed the pacing or the intelligence of the characters. Rant over.
