Teahouse of the Gods

This is another no for me, and I was shocked that for once me and another reviewer actually agree! (I dont think that has ever happened lol) Long story short, the World building and story setting are spot on, and thats about the only thing I can say as a positive. Stat building is pointless, as story events hose whatever type of character / build you were going for. Romance options are Fixed, gender wise, and honestly it wouldnt matter, because everyone in the story if fixated on an alternate version of you (either a dead version of you that doesnt exist anymore, or a fake version of you that has been running around pretending to be the old you... yeah its complicated) In no case do your opinions or actions with the LIs matter, because it's not "you" they are interested in. Finally the story itself cant figure out what it wants to be, or wants you to be. You go from applying as an apprentice for a job position overseas, to having tea with God... yeah its that out there. Anyways as always YMMV, but I really believe more people are going to be disappointed with this, than pleased.

I usually finish CoG games in a day or two depending on how many times I read them. It took me [i]two weeks[/i] to find the will to go through this one. It was my most laborious read so far. [h1]I'd give it a solid 2/10.[/h1] [b]Writing and story :[/b] The writing style is unremarkable, it's getting the job done. Some issues with pinyin editing and a couple of typos. I don't have much to say about it. Lots of lore and a whole plethora of settings, it can be hard to keep track of everything, especially the settings. Often we are presented with way too much informations at the same time. Names, places, mythology... all the time, which can turn it into a tiring read. But it's clear the author put a lot of heart and effort into it, which I respect. Now the pacing. The last few CoG and Hosted Games I've read struggled with pacing. Teahouse of the Gods isn't the exception I thought it'd be. It's too slow or too fast, events either drag on or just rush into each others. It's not rare for multiple events to happen at the same time, and with the massive amount of infos, it gets exhausting to follow. The story itself, I didn't care for. Some CoG aren't good but the story despite its…

So, I'm pretty rarely harsh about these stories. As a matter of fact, I've found few that I didn't outright love. This one, I got through a few pages of it and couldn't keep going. Not that I'm a multilingual genius or anything, but this story seems to have been clearly written by someone that doesn't have English as a first language. I found the pattern and flow of the wording to be confusing and unnatural. I found myself having to re-read each paragraph multiple times and then the entire page at least a second time before I was able to wrap my head around what was going on. Then from what I'm seeing from other reviews and the previews on the game's store page; it just looks like a mess that sin't very fun to play even whenever you do understand the story. This one is getting a 2/10.

I was absolutely not prepared for how completely and utterly off the chain this game is. If you like Choice Of games, give this one a shot.

tea house of the gods this story really good way but slightly odd it took some much time to finish so i played it only once since it's so long it has a lot more variations thoughts about the story it all stared with the fallout between the god of order and the goddess of disorder also why so far in the past would they bother with going through a human ritual such as marriage? at the time it didn't even exist between humans so it's not a human ritual but a borrowed ritual that gods used to make if so what is the purpose of such activity it has no effect between gods so who made it and who copied who also the two original gods are pure opposites meaning there needs to be no union between them or maybe because they are so different that the possibility of life was made? because a mixture of both gods gives a great amount of possibilities that gave room for such life diversity? still we never heard the goddess of chaos describe her POV of 'love' maybe it's devotion or loyalty or guilt is what drove her to revive MC she says it's love though did religion get created by the humans or was it gifted to them by the gods what are the specific interactions that were made bet…

A masterpiece. This game is like a book which hero you are, based on modern and fantasy rural China. You can choose very diverse playstyle, build up your own character and the book is weel written. I played one and half hour so far and I like this game! I don't understand the negative reviews. I highly recommand this game and I advice to playing it with a cup of tea, relaxed, not tired and with chinese music in the background. I recommand these tunes, from the series "The Untamed" which suits perfectly the game : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ciCko7iqEo ([s l o w e d] THE UNTAMED - INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) Edited: Just finished the game, and I found the ending disapointing. It was a nice experience, though.
