| Favorite scene | Bath scene in Yael's route for the group reaction to naked Tasuku. |
| OTP | 👑tasuyae👑 |
| Favorite OTP moment | Can I say Yael-san's entire route? No? But how can I pick between all the ways he reacts to being confessed to, up to his own hidden admission of a non-reply, or the way he riles Tasuku up as a form of flirting, or how rattled he was by Tasuku's (really bad but) very earnest and giving blowjob and never let him focus on making Yael feel good again, or how he's so hermetic and refuses to open up to anybody else but Tasuku pierced his armor of cynicism and it still took tremendous events for Yael-san to show a drop of vulnerability... Or I don't know, the entire route. I'm still too deep into this ship to pick one scene, sigh. |

| Landmines | 💥 Tasuku uke |
| Extra | I was never able to get into the BLVN genre because all games I found in fan translation circles and official licenses alike featured an uke protagonist. To be honest, I'm not interested in reading thirty hours or more of first-person prose about a guy getting seduced, molested, abused or romanced by "sexy" semes. I'm of the habit of talking about playable characters as myself regardless of how relatable they actually are or how much the game asks me to put myself in their shoes. I'm the one pushing the buttons, so it's inevitable. As such, I have next to no interest in seeing my avatar bottom, lol. That's why NO, THANK YOU!!! was such an exciting experience to me as a game with bottom-only love interests, a short king as a protagonist (size difference wahoo!), almost all routes being older uke (age gap wahoo!) (although my favorite is Hiroshi... Hiroshi I love you even though you're not old or taller than Haru), toggable body hair (?! hairy men wahoo!), and a plot that was much darker than I expected from the visuals and promotional material. Parade's following games continued the trend of seme protagonist and emotionally heavy themes, and I couldn't be happier. I really hope this company continues its trend of making uke love interests that the player can seduce, molest, abuse or romance, with storylines that put a lot of care into a sort of emotional depth and bonding that questions the limitations of the genre beyond standard romancing. Praying for a Lkyt. fan disc and art book. |
