The Charming Empire

what i was expecting very excellent

História boa e bem desenvolvida.

I've completed Toki, Kagemitsu and Soshi's route. Reading some of the comments here, I have to agree that the story really takes a long time to get moving and the first time playing (Kagemitsu's route) I got incredibly bored and found myself clicking and clicking away to make the dialogue move faster. The overarching plot is mediocre but I do enjoy Toki's character quite a bit. The soundtrack is ok. The heroine is plain and I cannot relate to her at all, I'd say that's the biggest weakness of this game. That said, the art is beautiful, the characters are [i]charming[/i] (pun intended) and the voice acting is pretty good! It's a good game to play before bed.

I'm tentatively recommending this for the voice actors alone and the English is pretty good. I didn't like the MC - the naive, not understanding the ways of "romance" MC is overdone a lot in romance VNs and in this one is not really well done at all to get away with it. I found little to no character development in the MC and the story wasn't engaging enough nor the other characters to compensate. Some of the routes weren't as bad as others. I just found it hard to engage in the story and didn't feel a lot of connection to any of the LIs. I've finished all the good endings and will go back and finish the others just for completion sake but I would have been disappointed if I had purchased this at full price and not on sale. There are by far, much better VNs than this one out there. I did expect a fair bit more from the story for this VN but Soshi's voice acting did help a bit!

It's not a bad visual novel / otoges but it's not really a good one either. The stories and sprites are alright but quite basic and everything felt a little rushed or forced, outside of a couple story lines. The CG felt quite disappointing, they're not even pretty or special. Translation is alright, UI is clunky as hell, you can tell they didn't put much care in this port. The voice cast though is really good with classic voices from beloved VN/otoges. Overall, the heroine was quite annoying; if you enjoy the classical demure and clueless maiden it's fine I guess. The Soshi story really started well and then the heroine does something out of the blue that makes no sense outside of a narrative need for it, then spends her days sobbing about the consequences of her stupid actions. The game is originally a PS Vita game it seems, I was surprised to see that it came out in 2017 and had so little to offer. If you truly insist on playing it, get it heavily discounted.

Hi guys, I am very sorry to tell you that but in 2025 the route of Shoshi is not it. It's 3 am and I finished his route in one go and I am so enraged. The story is a bit all over the place and you don't have that many choices. There is a lot of emotional manipulation going on with people acting differently as the next sentence comes. Literally. You casually just go from ups and down as I'f your drinking water. And I just can not agree at all with how anything was solved regarding the political aspect and its just weird in my brain to turn a brother in a lover. I thought I could look over that but a fes sentences in the 'Happy End' Chapter made it very weird for me again. If you are fine with that, you might like it a lot. Just be warned. 5 Years ago I may have liked it. It's just not a story you would write like that in 2025 anymore. I feel like I wasted my money right now but I'm writing this just as I finished this one route. Maybe the other routes will have a better story, I will give them a chance at least.
