<h3>summary </h3><br>
August was all about the new house. So many appointments! At least the bulk of planned appointments ended this week. Once the final checklist for moving out of the old apartment is 100% complete (and that deadline is closing in), I'll switch to cleaning and unpacking the house. Moving is exhausting. <br>
<br>
To entertain myself for the long stretches of time without internet access, I grabbed the first Japanese language visual novel I saw without sexual content. (I'm kind of a prude lol.) It's so risky to have a random VN as your only game for a whole month. I didn't even read the <a href="https://vndb.org/">VNDB's</a> synopsis, but I guess it wouldn't have tipped me off to how strange and uncomfortable 月華繚乱ROMANCE is anyway. Gekka Ryouran is basically a reverse harem game set in a prestigious school, full of incest vibes and obsessive stalkers. <br>

It's so risky to play roulette with a random old VN for a whole month. I didn't even read the <a href="https://vndb.org/v7716">VNDB's</a> synopsis beforehand, but I guess the tags wouldn't have tipped me off to how strange and uncomfortable 月華繚乱ROMANCE is anyway. Gekka Ryouran Romance is basically a reverse harem game set in a prestigious school, full of rich important kids who can get away with anything. The whole thing gives me Hunter Biden vibes, and the brother guy gives me uncomfortable incest vibes. No one said it was going to be scary. ;-; <br>

Honestly, the writing is pretty good, even if it was scary. The vocabulary level is higher than anything I've read so far, barring technical or political news reports. I'm getting to the point with Japanese that I don't need a dictionary for most manga, so needing a dictionary multiple times per sentence made me feel like a beginner again. The contrast does highlight the ironically low vocabulary level of other series featuring honor students, bookworms, etc, though. I suppose they aren't as smart as they claim! <br>

Honestly, the writing is pretty good, though, even if the vocabulary is challenging and the characters are scary. I'd recommend it for the engrossing art and atmosphere alone, so long as you're not bothered by creepy clingy weird guys and a super creepy clingy weird girl. <br>
