Still playing My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom -Pirates of the Disturbance- very slowly. On Alan’s route, finished Nicol, Keith, and Geordo.

I find it pretty interesting that the guys are said to like her at least partially for her not acting like a traditional noble, but a lot of the affection-gaining answers are choosing to have her act a little more dependent on them and like a traditional noble. This is partially explained by cultural differences between Japan and America, differences in what is seen as attractive in a woman, but it is still actively contradicting what the game said earlier about the LI’s attractions to her… at least in every route Katarina can get involved in her own rescue in a conflict—less so than the LIs (which makes complete sense as they are more magically capable than her) but she does take action and that choice will give you affection.

Also, Alan’s route has Liliana, a capable woman! She is also quite cute. I’m glad I was right about guessing her identity—although I got it immediately because of what I know from one of the routes I played before Alan’s.

I find it funny that when Alan and her are fighting over each others’ safety basically at the route start, it is the one time she is being reasonable and having normal thoughts and Alan is being the dummy.

The Alan route is the hardest for me to figure out the affection-giving answer without a walkthrough far. Every other guy I could get their GOOD END or HAPPY END with max affection without any help. I have not been using a walkthrough so far for Alan but I did hit the wrong answer sometimes.

I feel Silva does the most bad person pirate things on Alan’s route so far.

Made it up to chapter 5 so far. Alan’s route wins the award for most typo-ridden. Found 26 mistakes total across Geordo, Nicol, and Keith; did chapter 3 and 4 of Alan (stopped when I hit 5) and we are up to 48 text errors. That is 22 to just Alan’s first and second chapter, nearly half the typos. sad.jpeg
