[OTOME] Once Upon a Fairy Love Tale Leonhardt Review ARTIHMETIC

Once Upon a Fairy Love Tale 
Invite Code : eLL2dZ 

I can't contain my excitement when his route finally released and after playing it, it was worth the grinding on being consistent on his route. Sadly of course it takes me a long time to sit down to write a review since I was busy with life/other things.  (`・ω・´)

When I first played Once Upon a Fairy Love Tale I saw his character and of course was disappointed his route wasn't open LIKE every other game. All the ones I look at aren't the main routes that are first out... ever.

Of course I played through all the teasers and saw how Leonhardt is... He's a really hot intimidating guy but with a kind heart and would do anything to help/protect the heroine... He's also a big KITTY- Well a Lion to be exact hahaha...



My feelings when going through all the teaser short stories. Why aren't you out yet?  (;~;)

And then...
ヽ(;▽;)ノ

I've been hoarding items since I started just for him. And when he released I went down to 0 on mostly everything hahaha. So yes I got his outfit pretty fast~ Anyways onto the review below.


::START OF REVIEW::


Leonhardt is a big kind man with a hard heart from a past he can't forget. Because of this he is one who refuses to wanting the heroine to choose him. I have to say out of all the interactions the heronie is less annoying in Leonhardt's route but maybe because Leonhardt is such a overpowering impressive character to me I easily ignored the heroine. 

I mean seriously the heroine was only brought to this world to restore it... She's nothing special because she seem unwillingly to do anything until later...


Kabedon lol

In the beginning after the heroine was saved by Leonhardt, she tries to approach him but he rejects her by telling her you do not want to choose me. (implying he is dangerous and will hurt her)
And he walks away. Of course obviously from the guys I choose they all run away at some point. ;;


Later she finds him playing with animals. How bad could he be she thinks because he's swarmed with fluffy animals. He will noticed she was there and question on why she was spying on him. She then lets him know that she only saw that he was kind and meant no harm. She also tells him that she only wants to learn more about who he really is. 

As time progresses where she kept approaching Leonhardt even though he personally wishes she doesn't because he is afraid he'll harm her. But he can't refuse the queen's words... So assists her if it is her command. 
One night she was attacked by a tranced out Leonhardt. 


She thought it was all a dream but it felt too real especially when he caused small pains on her. 

When she woke up Leonhardt was no where to be found. Of course she meets him the next day and nothing seemed to have happened. Through the different times where the Queen needed to learn how to use her power to restore life to the Fairy Tale world, Leonhardt eventually started to open up to her even though he still implies he's dangerous or try to avoid her.

To the beginning of the real plot, finally he revealed he killed his best friend who betrayed him in the past. He tore him up with his fangs. So whenever it's a full moon he would get more angry and easily triggered to do something he didn't mean to. (And confirmed that the night she was attacked wasn't just a dream, it was indeed Leonhardt.) 
With this of course the heroine wasn't scared of him but felt bad that he carried such weight over his shoulders. 

With that knowledge she was wondering if she could ever cure Leonhardt's dark past of blame over himself. 
 Which caused the conflict of the story when Leonhardt's friend "appeared" showing himself to the heroine. He explained how he regretted that Leonhardt carries such a dark past because of him and wished he could so something for him so he can move on. gullible Heroine agreed to help him even though she was only thinking of Leonhardt. He gave her a stone to place into the water for the ceremony and the next morning of course that doesn't happen. It drops beforehand when Leonhardt found her that night and a black mist appears. Leonhardt is shocked at the scene because he felt the Heroine is trying to pull a betrayal like his friend.


She tells him to trust her because she only wanted to help him not harm him... And with that Leonhardt actually calmed down. This of course foiled Leonhardt's ex-friend plans, which he wanted Leonhardt to tear up the one he loved. Showing his true form which he was a phantom all along that was still jealous and angry at Leonhardt for all the things he has. 

Working together they defeat the phantom and placing him to rest. Leonhardt learned that it wasn't all his fault and that he can finally stop being so uptight about killing his friend who planned things against him since the beginning. Also he can start being honest with himself and stop holding himself back from the heroine. (Cause he really had the hots for her but resisted even though she kept following him.) 


Bb apologizes and of course it's understandable. He always felt he did something wrong and didn't want the heroine to be victim number 2. ;; He's a really sweet kind guy who didn't want to see another person he cared about hurt. But now that's resolved...

(゜◇゜)
And so they are napping with each other. Of course how beautiful Leonhardt is when he is peacefully sleeping. It made the Heroine want to touch him hahaha. AND of course he isn't really asleep yet. 
     (*/∇\*)

Of course everything after that since they are "together" now. It's just Leonhardt just constantly teasing her... because he's so honest with her now and not hiding his feelings lol.
That's not all of course. Even heroine wonder wow where did the really good manner and kind Leonhardt went..?




Uh oh the true beast is out. (*///*) (idontmind)


So they finally had their bonding times lol. Well I was too into Leonhardt so I did get the Royal Ending and that really was the icing on top of the cake. 

So am I bb vvv

The wedding picture was so beautiful and I strongly felt Leonhardt deserved true happiness since he was holding so many things back in the past because of his people. (Such a sad prince but he still was so nice to help and do things for others...) 

Ahahaha he ends it on that note... so ero when you let the beast on the loose. (/ω\)


END OF REVIEW


(Beauty and Beast much?... haha~)

Oh man, I tried not to gush too much on Leonhardt's route because haha I could go on forever... I really really enjoyed it but I didn't really list all the little details because I suggest people to try his story out yourself if you like this type of character. 

I really enjoyed this one and was worth the wait for his character to appear. I can see they took elements from Beauty and the Beast except Leonhardt was always a good person but ended becoming weary/untrusting because of his past. Unlike how Beast wasn't a good person to begin with but learned through his mistakes. 

I would suggest people to try out the game but be prepared the heroine isn't the worst but isn't the best either. So if you play be warned she could get on your nerves depending on route haha. She was more toned down in Leonhardt's route because apparently she's a stalker for him lolol so she was more set on him than being indecisive. 

I will hopefully catch up on writing more reviews later as time permits! Thanks for reading as always!

[OTOME] Voltage Mobile Games Overview FREE TO PLAY + Current Updates

Voltage goes a long way back with me. It was one of the earlier games I played on mobile when they had service with GREE. My Sweet Bodyguard (One of my most favorite Voltage games.), Be My Princess and Celebrity Darling (Which I wished they redid in their current new system..) ;;;;

Back then it was really difficult to play with the Gree system but the overall service is pretty dead for these games despite still being available to download/play.



Shortly after the years, they have done their own free to play games. Let's get with the basics first.

Overall How the Games run : 
-Log in Bonus : You can be consistent and if you survive logging in for a set number times (like My Forged Wedding Party) you will get special bonuses by the end of 100 or 200 log in etc. If you miss a day it will reset the counter back to 1. They also have a special log in bonus if you haven't played for a long time, they will give you a welcome back bonus on their game. I had it happen twice to me, it's nice... but they totally have the characters guilt trip you on not playing haha. 
-Bonus Sheet Item : It's like achievements in a game but they have a daily one and a sheet to be completed for more items for the game. If you complete the tasks they ask they will reward you with items. Very simple to do if you want to get more items for the game.
-Mini Games : All of their games have some battle off to raise some type of needed element be it "Wife Points" or "Trust Factor" etc. Where you will use daily energy to try to raise in game cash + the needed element. The energy recovers with as certain time passes during the day.
-Story Passes : These are your passes everyday you can read 5 parts a day. They will recover in about a day time like the other games. You can always use the story pass refills if you get them. 
-Checkpoints : You can't just read the story as leisure. In order to pass checkpoints to continue the story it's either x amount of items or a certain "stat" level. Sometimes you have to hoard items over time or even wait another day to pass the checkpoint. However it is doable if you do not want to pay, you just need patience. I noticed how this applies to most games that are free to play. But I have to be honest, Voltage's free to play games are probably the toughest checkpoints since their required points is quite high numbers especially near the endings. ;;
-Dress Checkpoints / CG : This is critical for free to play voltage players to understand. YOU WILL NOT GET the CG if you do not PAY real money/or earn them from app installing etc. It's a real downer for their games since I do think Voltage has very nice CGs and CGs make a game for me personally. To pay for each CG the price increases every time they have one or just read the story without CG/Sweet Scenarios.
-Bonus : There are extra stories and time limited events in the game. Although like again, I think Voltage limited time events are as tough as their checkpoints. They have short time limit (wished it was more like 14 days vs 7) and a more easier checkpoint or visa versa. But I believe they follow how Japanese play because they can "pay" and put a lot of time into a mobile game. It's hard for international players to follow that same mindset sadly. Just my opinion on it. 


Ok onto the games! 
I've listed my Player ID for you to add to get bonus items if you wish. You can also add me as friend. I always use the same name now Imari Yumiki for all the games I play.

The Heroine had a finance who dumped her before meeting her parents. She meets the group of friends (all guys) who knows her uncle. One of them steps it up and becomes her "fiance" because they also need a future wifey for whatever their reasons are in the story. (Each character is different.) So you act like you are Husband/Wife with your chosen one and of course falling in love with him by the end of it.

I have to be honest I did enjoy this one when it was out since I never played the original. I went after Takao Maruyama. Who is pretty nice character and seemed more of my type. Before I go to too many details, I just want to know why they keep shoving Saeki(the flirty dark hair one.) in my face not just this route but in other routes. I actually think he's pretty cool especially once you know him but they really should save him for his own route instead of having him trying to NTR. But I guess it's popular to always have someone trying to bother you in your own route in japan lol. I just feel bad for him because he is pretty likable except they keep shoving him in other routes for extra drama.

I am near the end for Takao's route, I was just dealing with the checkpoint for a while lol and lost interest in waiting to get to the needed points but I should be finished soon. I will do a proper review at the end of that.

The Heroine is someone who desires to become a famous designer someday. When she gets her job and head to the Royal Party. She finds herself being a replacement of a princess and you meet all these Princes. You choose which one you want after the long long long prologue.


I choose him. I started this game not too long ago so I can't put much input however... I did play this on GREE before Joshua became a choice. I did download the one in Japanese too for the seiyuu version... I never got far on either of them mostly because the story never really kept my interest. I will be trying a bit to see how the story goes again haha. I'm just not a fan of Princes even though I do like "foreign prince types" if it's the story isn't just all about Princes...

Heroine wants to become a famous Journalist. She finally lands the job when she went to Tokyo, Japan. However she ends up working for a bad reputation gossip magazine... She attends the Casino opening meeting all these famous handsome guys. Which are all friends and know the owner. Then she is the lucky girl who won the lottery for a VIP pass for the Casino where she gets to know them personally. Ryoichi gets her a heavy drink as a revenge for taking his photo earlier for Weekly Cinderella and she wakes up... to whoever you choose route for.

Out of all the games this one intrigues me most mostly because the main heroine is a megane girl with spice so far in the beginning. I like megane girls but I liked she actually stood up against Yuzuki when he was being angry boy. I never played the original so I am looking forward to see how this story unfolds. I choose Noel Aijima over the others since he seemed more of my type. I will see as I play. I was a bit interested in Yuzuki too since I thought their chemistry was pretty funny but for now I'll stick with Noel.

Because really, why not? ('3')/

My only thing about this game the set up is very similar with My Forged Wedding with the guy character situations and types. All of them are friends, there is a "woman" who helps you and the character types are pretty similar. It won't bother me though since at least the heroine seems a bit different than the one from MFW. We will see haha.

And that pretty much wraps up the current free to play Voltage games! I hope they plan on doing more and consider some of the feedback from the fans for any of their future releases.


Unrelated to Voltage Game Posts Below

Cybird has finally released their first English game. I've played a few other of their titles in Japanese so hopefully they make more so I can make a post about their games too.

I'll make a more detailed post about this one later. If you play add me as friend!

But already to no surprise the one I was eyeing isn't a route yet lol.

Most of my mobile gaming time has been taken over by Touken Ranbu, Boyfriend BETA and Tokimeki Restaurant as usual. But I have jumped back into the otome gaming. I do have other videogames I am playing not on mobile so let's hope I can get time to lay down reviews before I get really busy and start going to conventions again haha (Sakura Con!! I can't wait!)

Thank you for always reading and supporting!
