Jimi-Kare : My Quiet Boyfriend 9+

Not only is the game’s story charming, but the male love interest is genuinely interesting. He has personality traits outside of just being the generic love interest that would do anything for the protagonist, at least as far I’ve gotten in the game, which really adds to experience of the story because it feels like a more grounded romance, that is, as grounded as an anime dating game is going to get.

The other major plus is that the game is free, like REALLY free. You’ll get harmless ads but they really don’t over impose themselves, and the game never asks you to make any kind of in-app purchases.

I would strongly recommend this game and I wish there were more like it. If there’s any comment I could make for improvement though, there’s a small bit of noticeable mistranslated Engrish that shows up in the story sometimes, and for a game that’s like 50% reading it’s kind of noticeable. It’s a nitpick but I thought it was worth mentioning.

This game is absolutely adorable and love it to bits, it’s just my only concern is there is way too much tapping involved in between story sequences. The XP requirements are very high when you take into consideration how much EXP you get for tapping. Muttering only gets you 1 EXP while encouraging only gets you 2EXP. When you have to make requirements to numbers of hundreds (and maybe thousands later on) it takes far too long. Have to tap 15 times to get 1 encouraging 2XP. That is a lot of tapping per time. While you do get the occasional ad in between encouraging bubbles for 30EXP, it still takes a good few minutes of repetitive tapping to reach the next story sequence. I’m on “story 4 “ which is basically “part 4” and my wrist is already killing me after 45 minutes of playing. My only suggestion is that you’d increase the amount of EXP we get per mutter and encouragement. Overall though, I love the style of the game and love the story so far.

I’ve been playing otome apps for a long time, and I think this app is so cute, creative, and customer friendly! First off, you don’t have to pay a lot or wait really long for the story to be played properly. Second, the little mini game is sooo adorable and addicting, it could be a game on its own! I really like how it gives you the option of watching ads if you don’t want to play the mini game or you get bored of it. I personally am obsessed with it though (probably because I’m the type that agresivly loves my friends and family, so I can get kind of too invested in it 😅). The one and only criticism I have for this near perfect game, is that there were choices! I love the game, but the developers made it seem like there were tons of choices and decisions that the play could make. There really are none as far as I’ve gone. I wish it was like other otome games in that sense... overall though, I think this game is cute, creative, and totally worth a download!
