I want to get the second volume of Obsessions of an Otome Gamer but I don't know where.

I'd rather avoid Amazon as much as I can for digital goods. I'm not sure Barnes & Noble is even an option for me and honestly I'm not interested in looking more into it. I think the book is cheaper on Book Walker but "eBooks purchased on BOOK☆WALKER cannot be downloaded in an ePub nor PDF format to apps other than the BOOK☆WALKER app" and Yikes.

My first choice was Google Play but it's so expensive there? It costs 12€ there when the official site says it should be around 9 USD. It's cheaper literally everywhere else, I don't understand... Like, even if you add VAT and all that crap, the price shouldn't be 12€? What the fuck happened here.

And there is Kobo, the price is almost 10€ there which still makes me :/ but considering the exchange rate and the VAT, it makes more sense I guess. The page says the ebook is DRM free too. But for some reason using Kobo makes me feel uneasy, I feel they're lying to me when they say it's DRM free (?) I appreciate the option to see how much it costs in other countries even though it's making me feel bitter af lol.

That's it, those are my options. I wish CIW had its own store or something. They used to sell on Gumroad a few years ago but they stopped for some reason, some titles are still available there but not this one.

I wanted to be more active here but I've been way busier this month than I expected, and when I had free time I was too tired to do much or just... think lol.

I'm also frustrated because I wanted to play some stuff this summer and so far I haven't touched any of the games I was considering either orz It's not the end of the world or anything, but I wish I was better at managing my time.

Today I read this manga, I bought it because anything that's somehow related to otome games catches my attention. I was curious and it was just 2 volumes so why not. I didn't have any expectations (no particular reason for that, I just try to approach things this way if possible) and I actually really liked it? I'm a bit surprised at how much I enjoyed reading this tbh lol. It was pretty entertaining and some parts were so funny, I had to stop a few times because I couldn't stop laughing.


And you know, reading this story, and seeing how passionate the heroine is about otome games, and everyone working on them... Somehow it got me fired up. It brought back my motivation to play otome and now I just can't wait to do that.

I still haven't played anything since Hakuoki.. I've been feeling incredibly demotivated since spring, and finding something that got that reaction out of me just made me very happy 💖

Actually my main motivation to start posting today was that I wanted to whine about this somewhere lol.

I mentioned this once on twitter but I haven't really talked much about it. I've been working on a Gossip Girl Party fansite since january. It's basically a place to share the content from the game I managed to save before it died.

The site is mostly done at this point, in fact I'd say it's been this way for a while now. But I still can't bring myself to ~release it to the public~.


One of the reasons was that I didn't have any decent buttons for the site. I tried to make a few but I'm not good at this and I didn't like them much. They look ridiculous compared to other people's.

Today I spent a few hours making more and finally I managed to create some that don't make me want to die when I look at them. They're still not as great as other people's but I like them way more. So that's one problem less.


I think another of the reasons is that... I just kind of hate all the stuff I wrote for the site? It's mostly information so I'm not like, Super pressed either. But I still can't shake the feeling that it's awkward to read and I don't know if I'm just feeling self-conscious about my english or if it's actually That Bad.


Also I'm not super happy with the home page but I don't even know why, it just looks wrong? It might be that I'm sick of looking at it at this point though.


I don't know, I guess I'm just nervous because I've never done anything like this before? I try to remind myself that it's not a professional website and that I can always change things. But still.

Like, for real. I created my account almost 2 months ago and I keep thinking about things I could talk about here and all, but I've been so lazy. Or maybe demotivated. Or both, I don't know. I guess Hakuoki really killed the little will to live I had left lol

At least the layout is done. And I'm pretty pleased with it. A couple of weeks ago I decided to get that over with and spent the morning looking for one and customizing it. You can't easily change the colors like you can on tumblr, so it was very tedious and time-consuming. But I lived, bitch. Punch me in the face if I ever feel like changing the damn colors again though.

And well, the idea is using this as some kind of diary where I talk about games and stuff. Nothing too serious, kinda like twitter but longer, I guess?

I just don't feel very comfortable using social media lately. I feel like everything I say is too in the open. While none of my accounts have a big following, I still feel uneasy sometimes. I'm not going to stop using them, but I want to spend more time here on dreamwidth. Plus I think I'd feel more comfortable talking about games here, without worrying about spoiling people.

So yeah... Let's see how long I last.
