My Nemesis and Hero Review

My Nemesis and Hero is a BL visual novel by ChaniMK.  It can be found on Steam and Itch.io.  It's about a boy named Kai and his two childhood friends, Percy and Gavin, who fight over him constantly.  Kai is kind of a dumbass and doesn't realize they're fighting over him or why until they confess their feelings.  But each option expresses their love differently, so who should Kai choose?

I'm not poly IRL, by I love a good harem ending in a VN, so I played through the game 3 times, once for Percy's ending, once for Gavin's ending, and last for the coveted threesome.

The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns

For years, I've been enticed by the girls love visual novels of an indie writer who goes by Ebi-hime.  However, before today, I have never been able to finish one!  Finally, I corrected that issue today, by completing The Sad Story of Emmeline Burns.  Now, I'd tried to read this one before, but I was much more emotionally fragile in 2019 and couldn't finish it, and stopped halfway.  Today, with a more secure heart, I read it the entire way though!  I'm not gonna lie, it got hella wordy some times, and I was frustrated that it told in words, rather than show the scenes with images, but all in all, it is a pretty good VN.

Plans for 2025

My overarching goal for next year, across all my hobbies, is to work on my massive backlog.  I have a backlog of games I'd like to play, books I'd like to read, visual novels I'd like to experience, and unfinished art to complete.  Since this blog is where I post my reviews of games, visual novels, and manga; I'm going to post reviews of books here too.  This is where I'll hold myself accountable for working on my media backlog over the course of next year.  I have hundreds of these things to experience, and I'm only setting my goals for one year, so I thought I'd narrow it down.

My Steam Replay 2024

I am mostly a PC gamer, and most of my games are on Steam, so my Steam Replay is almost an accurate representation of how much gaming I did over the course of the year.  Aura Kingdom is no longer included on Steam, and my Sims 4 activity is not recorded on Steam, but most of the rest of my gameplay is recorded by Steam.
