It's like I'm the target audience or something, weird

Listen, I don't yell very much about nu:carnival, because friends don't lure friends into gacha games, but I need to yell about nu:carnival for a minute.

(nu: carnival is the smutty BL gacha game of my heart. Show up for the sex-toy designer who gets isekai-ed, stay for the surprisingly thoughtful relationships and world building.)

• One of the romantic partners is Blade. He is a happy sunshine airhead who used to be a hypercompetent murderbot! One of the other romantic partners is Yakumo, who is a sweetheart and sometimes gets angry enough to forget that he has anxiety and remember that he has kaiju-level snake yokai powers! Funnily enough, the thing that makes them both go into berserk mode is Eiden, the protagonist, being endangered.


• It canonically takes at least two of the strongest party members to hold them back, but that discovery happened off-screen. D:


• Last month the game had a storyline that involved Blade going full murderbot on-screen. There's a point where he breaks his own arms to get a tactical advantage and doesn't even flinch.
  
  


• This month there is a storyline that involves Yakumo finally unleashing his True Power and I am so fucking hype. Yes, thank you, more of this please!!

... I forgot that Saiyuki was a formative influence on me, okay, I never expect characters taking their limiters off to hit me as hard as it does. And if characters take off their limiters on purpose to fight other party members? WELL.
