lover boy mania!

这场比赛让我感觉很棒，我想对NICO好，但我发现我想对他好的方式就是我的想法，我认为对他不好的方式对他帮助更大，我不知道该如何面对

I am gonna die. I absolutely adore Nico. When he first popped up and started a convo my mind instantly grabbed the collar of my shirt and dragged me so close to it and whispered, "You better fucking cherish this boy or else you WILL have consequences" and that is what I did. I cherished the boy. I cherish Nico a lot and I absolutely adore and worry for him~! This is why I'm getting the obsession ending... I just... I just CAN'T NOT SPOIL HIM. (Nico is a mastermind, I'll happily be his pampering slave)

I also like how real Nico's issues and coping skills are. The blatant sexualization he goes through due to the past relationships he went through, the fact that he wasn't given a safe and healthy environment to process his feelings which results him to become erratic when he feels too many emotions, and the fact that even though MC cares for him (MY MC CARES FOR HIM, I DON'T WANT MY BOI TO SUFFER ANYMORE GODDAMMIT) he still has troubles accepting the reality of the situation because his reality and MC's reality are so different. But I adore how we still are able to reach a balance... somewhat, given the, well, premise of the story.

I also just wanna say that the visual novel really reminded me about Needy Streamer Overload! and because of that, I was dreading so much about the existence between MC, Nico's situation, and the entirety of things. I'm sure I'd uncover a lot of things if I explored the ending and maybe make it so that Nico won't be too obsessed with the MC... BUT NICO DESERVES NICE THINGS OKAY ;^; !!!

Aside from that, I did encounter some parts of the visual novel that did make it a bit difficult to continue on. Such as when transitioning to Day 2. Nico and the frame stays on the screen. It then fades quickly. It happens only once so I can see how you can ignore it. And then there's the text for the different options to do with Nico are very faint and blend in with the background. I actually had trouble navigating where they were on the first time, maybe putting a solid block of white could help differentiate it and maybe putting it closer to Nico since it was at the very far right. And here's just one nitpick I have, it's nothing that major but something I thought might be nice to rework? There are some moments where you can't click things and I know it suppose to tell the passage of time but it feels a bit disorrienting for nothing to happen. Maybe if there was some indication of movement during the waiting period or maybe some text stating "We ended up waiting X amount of time for X to come", just something to indicate that the story is still moving.

But aside from that, I genuinely enjoyed the visual novel! Adore how Nico looks and I just wanna scoop the cutie boi into my hands and cherish him~!

EDIT: After getting multiple, and I mean MULTIPLE Obsession Endings (seriously, wth) I finally got an ending that wasn't making me stare through the defeated eyes of the BAD END. But instead, I got the Epiphany Ending... Good Lord I gotta experiment more...

i love Nico so much omg this is such an amazing game! Totally appreciate how much work had gone into this! the comfy vibes, the whole streamer management system and of course- the lore behind MC and nico itself. I guess the only complaint that I have is that maybe there should be a background behind the "management" options or to make it a different color entirely? I guess the color it has right now just makes it a bit difficult to see
