/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Been playing choudoku for the first time and got Shiba's two bad ends, about to go for his good end. I would normally absolutely hate this sort of misunderstanding-centric plot but for some reason I didn't. Maybe because it seemed perfectly reasonable for Yuriko to assume the worst, the fact that he was genuinely madly in love with her to the point he'd overlook her obvious intent to poison him just to have a chance to larp at married life is pretty bizarre.
Yuriko being kind of a bitch is a good touch, I think. Something of a tangent but I get sick of stories where the heroine's only flaws are 'she's too pure and naive' or 'she's too selfless' or other things that are either very superficial or '(virtue) gone too far'. Especially when the guys are all batshit insane psychos and then you get a scene where the heroine is like 'I understand your guilt LI-kun, I still blame myself for the death of my little brother (that is obviously not my fault at all in any way), we're the same...'
