Otome Plays: Dream Life, Picture Book, Theme Park & Obssession


First post of the year and I thought it'd be nice just to simply talk about the last few episodes of this series.
After the jump, they'll be spoilers ERYWHEEERE so you've been warned.



So with what you've might have already guessed.
Yeonho is a total ...

Yandere. 

RED ALERT. 

ABORT.

ABORT.

If you don't know what that means, he's like that insane ex-girlfriend type that can't stop stalking you. The difference is, he's cute shota. Those eyes were kind of a give away at a lot of points

I thought the foreshadowing was done just enough so you knew something was up:

Dream Life started it with Yeonho being attached to you like a baby chick.
Picture Book kind of planted that seed of Yeonho wanting be closer to the heroine.
Theme Park established that very much so, Yeonho was going overboard in trying to please her.

The latest episode, Obssession's title, is kind of self explanatory. The choices within the story, especially the first bad ending kind of threw me off. When did the heroine get so twisted? It really didn't show in her other routes from what I remembered. This reminds me of one of Lance's bad endings where the heroine just gets into an accident. I'd rather they leave bad endings to a minimum if they can't think of well written ones in the first place.

Otherwise, the Nameless series doesn't just focus on the vanilla side of relationships but depicts their struggles throughout the story, integrating it rather than sticking it in some odd chapter as a plot device. Cheritz did a really good job writing this overall.

Anywho, please leave your thoughts about Yeonho's route so far, I'd love to hear your reactions. I sadly wasn't all too fazed, I played his route 2nd last. Tei is a whole other story.
