I feel like this version is being a little unfairly judged. I know the name changes are a little odd (they dont even resemble the original ones) but I got used to it fairly quickly. The English voices aren't half bad either. They got actual professionals from what I've seen. Of course, I wouldn't blame you for switching to the Japanese. There are a few errors in the translations here and there but overall I understood everything perfectly fine. I've been waiting for an English version for a long time and I was not disappointed. Not to mention the beautiful art! I really urge you to try it out. :)
as someone who hasn't played the Chinese version I'm going to give my opinion on what it's like for the English version. there's an option to switch to the Japanese dub which is good because I wouldn't bother with the game otherwise. The 4 Japanese voice actors are fantastic as always (I could do a 40 page review on how great each of them are but no one wants that) which is why it's the only thing that I've given 5 stars.
the story is one of the two major issues I have with the game. it's a typical storyline for otome games that I don't find appealing. I will say however that the main heroine isn't as much of an idiot as a lot of these other otome games. she can tell someone off if they are being rude. the story can be a bit cheesy at times and there are a few grammatical errors but that's expected with these translations.
my other big issue is the gacha. 1800 gems for a guaranteed Sr but the problem is that getting to 1800 is difficult.

Original
Been on Chinese server since day one. Played this out of curiosity. What's with the English names? Japanese dubbed doesn't pronounce as Lucien, Victor, Gavin, Kiro. Some of the translation are terrible, they twisted the meaning of the original script, some words are mispelt too.
The game comes in Japanese and English dubs, so pick your poison. The gameplay itself is a bit confusing and can't change names easily once you've set it, unless you wanna use real money, then by all means. Overall enjoying it so far. Haven't played the Chinese server so can't vouch how "bad" the translations are, as others have claimed, but reading the story, grammar is pretty good. If anything, I'd like a volume to lower the bg music. Haven't purchased anything (yet) but we shall see.
This game is sooo addicting! The artstyle and music are out of this world! The story is excellent but it gets dark and emotional on some parts which is great and a nice twist, especially compared to your average, happy-go-lucky otomes. Believe it or not, the English dub is better the Japanese sub! When it comes to cards, it has your standard gacha game mechanics which is fine with me since I live in Gacha Hell anyways. LMAO~ It even has drama/otome CDs which are basically ASMRs that can make your heart melt in an instant~♡
In conclusion, I love this game and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new otome to get into~!
(P.S: Lucien is a KING~!♡)
I'm not a girl who really into otome or girly games. Previously, I just tried this one on the day it was released. Well I'm surprised by the storyline that is presented here, the storyline here is not determined by our choices, because this one uses the first POV.
The storyline given is extraordinary, sad, tense, or made curious.
And I have to say you won't find a romance in the story mode, but you can find it in the Date feature, you can date all of the male lead as long as you have Karma (card).
The thing that keeps me from giving the full rate is the event, freebies event is veeerrryyy rare here. \("▔□▔)/
I will admit I got the game to take the p*ss of it but was pleasantly surprised. (´◔ ₃ ◔`) The idea is rather clever, it takes an idea normally used in thriller and such and turns it into a romance game. I did have trouble staying with the story after Chapter 6 and gave up paying attention somewhere around 8ish. Not the best for those who are easily distracted.
Another thing is that the 'Right Beside You' is WAY to expensive. This is coming from someone who Buys and Translates Otome CDs as a part time job/hobby. You can get 1 hours worth for ¥2,000 (Less than £20 and $20 roughly) but here it's nearly a $/£ per minute.
This is all my opinion. The game does have many redeeming qualities. People should find out for themselves if they like it or not. It's what I'm doing.
P.S. Lucien doesn't deserve the hate, lol.
Edit: Came back to this game much later. Boy, STAY UNTIL CHAPTER 10 BEFORE MAKING A JUDGEMENT! It's brilliant, the story hooked me. The story is incredibly well written. And I can't wait for the later chaps.
Lucien still doesn't deserve the hate.
Update from 4 years later. Holy shit, story fell apart, company ended up scummy as hell.
Well, I'll just be honest with this gacha game, recommend for some people who'll paid the gems or if you have EX+ Luck. Not quite recommend for people who tend to play for free for gacha unless your main purpose to play is read the story. I'm an active player (lv. 65) and free to play too and so far I have 4 SSRs (all aren't limited), but I consider myself quite lucky since I've seen other's are quite bad to the moment they saved up all their wish coupons to roll the gacha event. Anyone can relate with me here?😂
i give sound on 3 bcs the jp dub is not finished yet to be implemented sadly, i really love hearing on jp dub, but the eng dub is quite good too so bare with it for now you jp dub lover~. Storyline is great and i love each of character personality. Gameplay, you need to focus on your karma card first before engaging to story, or else you will just fail miserably and waste ur stamina..... remember, wasting stamina is not good! XD . Graphics is absolutely gorgeous! the art is lovely haha i really love my husbo ❤️ 10/10 recommended for all gurls out there, and also, Daddy Victor is the best
Gavin is life. And the plot is so dang good! I'd never expect something like that from a game like this honestly. The pace for events is fast and it's hard to get the limited event karma if you don't spend money or have a lot of gems saved up. The English voices aren't bad, if I wasn't so used to Japanese voices I'd just leave it be, but there's option to change to Japanese dubbing and honestly it makes it better. No hate on the English voice actors, I love them but the Japanese dubbing just makes it feel better. I've seen spoilers from the Chinese version and let's just say I can't WAIT for future updates!
