My Vow to My Liege

​[quote]"The upstream current is treacherous, While the way goes on forever. Swimming upstream is dangerous, As I beg to see who lies in the center."[/quote] ​In short, if you're an otome fan who's also familiar with ancient Chinese history or the classic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and you don't mind depictions of gruesome scenes [spoiler]blood, flesh, bones, etc...[/spoiler], then this game is definitely worth playing. Otherwise, I'd recommend skipping it [spoiler]after all, there's no point in buying a game if you know you won't end up playing it. Right? :)[/spoiler] ​My Vow to My Liege is set against the historical conflict between the kingdoms of Wu and Yue, so it's no surprise that many of its characters are inspired by real historical figures, with a touch of fantasy woven into their stories. ​ Just a heads-up: the common route is quite long, spanning up to 10 chapters, and the romance is very minimal even after you finally get into a specific route. [spoiler]It's definitely a plot-heavy game rather than a fluffy romance[/spoiler] ​The English translation can be a little confusing at times, but if you're already familiar with Chinese fantasy stories set in ancien…

TL;DR: If you are a fan of historical fantasy, action, and adventure, you will like this. However, if you are looking for a heavy romance-focused visual novel, this might not be for you. The female lead is a strong-willed protagonist who puts her duty and the weight of her kingdom far ahead of any romance—though she can still be a bit naive at times as she navigates it all. Disclaimer: I played this game in Chinese, so I can't comment on the quality of the English translation, which definitely impacts the overall experience. [b]Pros:[/b] [list] [*]Fully Voiced: Highly immersive and adds a lot to the depth of the characters. [*]Refreshing Story: The plot is genuinely interesting and unpredictable. It brilliantly blends a historical setting (春秋戰國時期 aka The Spring and Autumn period) with Chinese mythology (i.e. Ancient beasts). [*]Interesting Character Interpretations: The characters based on real history feel incredibly grounded. Experience Goujian’s ruthless ambition and Wu Zixu’s tragic, blind loyalty brought history to life. [*]Atmospheric Writing: The dialogue and text have a distinct, semi-classical prose style that fits the historical setting perfectly. [*]Excellent Slow-Burn…

So, I played this in 2021, so all I have is confusing memories about it, but that's not new. I WAS confused at the time, too. I don't know if it's because some translations from chinese are a bit wonky sometimes, but there were really important pieces of info that were confusing and I feel like I missed on so much :') Also, there was a lot of indirect communication in certain routes or parts of the story and I'm not very good at picking that up ^^U Anyway, I really liked it. It's medium length, and it's definitely different from regular otoge. The art is also really good. But oh so much drama queens here ffs, if that's your cup of tea you'll love it.

我喜欢小施！“孤阴不长，独阳不生。”华服厚重，你却非凡世之人。夷光最终还是为了阿玉回朝做巫祝呜呜呜，年少的承诺是最牢固的枷锁，也是心上最重的痕迹。相国爹咪线的“倘若世事逆转，我仍是伍家少年郎”也特别好味啊。这个勾践能否不再背刺，恨海情天代言人说是，但是吴越同舟渡的结局也是佳话嗯。

Game khá hay, bản thân mình ko phải một người thích chơi hay đọc những game liên quan tới chiến tranh mà lại chơi hết được game và cảm nhận được ý nghĩa với nội dung của game.
