Hi!

I didn't check but there weren't a lot of missing MORE stories last time I did.

If we are missing some, then only 1 or 2 since we got most of them.

This has become a conundrum 🤣

Hi nonny!

Zack's hair color is greyish/white. I would believe he used to have brown hair in the past, or black based on his grey strands.

Zack is old, it's not known how old exactly, but he's definitely sitting between 50 and maybe early 60s like you said. I would personally say early 60s, and yes, people that age usually have grey or white hair by then 😊

Hair doesn't turn fully white when you become old depending on people's original hair color. It depends on whether you where a blondie or a dark haired person as well as other things I probably don't know about. You can also start having white or grey strands very early on in your life, when you're still young, depending on the person. White hair isn't only linked to age.

Hopefully it is ok to ask you even though it is not related to MK/Ikemen/HLITF.

How does the leading man awards work? based on past years, is it useful to help determine new releases or just a popularity contest? Helpful if you could provide some insights if you have any. I am quite clueless about how it works.

I started reading last yr when the vote ended so i only saw the ranking. But the top 5 last yr Karno, Zyglavis, Eisuke, Minoru, Kasumi, don't seem to have any updates for 2 years plus or their story ended alr.

I read your previous replies about localisation being slow so I don't know if those people stories are still updating or not because i am unsure which is the main app? i only know Love 365? 🥶

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions.

Hi nonny!

I'm very very sorry for such a late answer. I haven't been doing well lately and have to take some time off, but I at least want to answer this since it's been sitting in my asks for so long. Again, I'm so sorry!

First of all you can definitely ask about literally anything, I really don't mind. It's just that I have more knowledge in these specific games but I love to chat or help out with other things as much as I can.

If I had to be truthful, the elections are simply "popularity" contests where the winners get different prizes. It often leads to the big winners getting some special stories, but it doesn't mean they will have a new route especially if the winning character has a route that's already concluded.

I find that elections are not worth anyone's money or time because a lot of people will pour an indecent amount of money into their favorite character (and they have every right to do so), but the prizes are not worth the cost nor the risk of someone bidding higher on someone else last minute.

Sadly, elections don't really represent well who is more popular anymore when whales (people who spend a lot of money) participate because a lot of times, actual popular characters fall behind in the ranking, or brand new characters are on top simply because they're new. Popularity isn't well represented when money is involved.

There's also a JP player who spends for Karno in the English app (Love365) so he can win over there, so it doesn't represent actual international players' taste. The main app is the Japanese one, btw!

Anyway, no the elections' prizes don't lead to these characters getting more BIG content like an actual route and so on. It only means maybe a special story or art of some sort, which is honestly very cool, but not worth the amount of money people pour into them, in all honesty 😅

That's only my opinion, and people are free to spend their money however they decide of course! But elections really are just a good way for Voltage to make money while people think they can get their character to be recognised through a lot of effort 😅

I have to take time to rest and do things I enjoy on my own. And sleep. I need a lot of sleep 😅

Hi nonny

I imagined a scenario like that as well in the past. Or it could be a pregnancy scare like what happened in Ayato Hidaka's (MLFK) route.

I think it would scare them both because of the lifestyle they have and Kazuomi's own past with his family, but eventually it could be the one thing that settles them down to a more comfortable dynamic as well ❤️

Ps: I hope ur doing well 💗💗

Hello!

No, Kazuomi's route isn't over yet!

I have to update the stories/chronology guide with the recent releases but so far, Kazuomi doesn't have many new updates, if at all.

I don't have the dates of release in mind but there is always a tiny bit of content here and there for MK even when it's so slow lately.

There hasn't been any announcement about Kazuomi's route ending and so far the storyline actually reached a new arc so, in case they decide to stop the route abruptly, there shouldn't be any trouble with continuing it!

And I'm doing very well, thank you very much!! I hope you are too! ❤️

I wanted to ask for a description of the KBTBB MC’s personality

Hi! Sorry for the very late reply! ❤️

I'm doing very good! I hope you are too 🥰

What is the KBTBB MC's personality?

The KBTBB MC is pretty much an innocent sweetheart and a very disciplined and devoted lady. She has a kind, warm heart and a naive personality. She can be a push-over, and it's often due to her "not having a choice in the matter" 😅

She's very hardworking and patient, and sacrifices herself a lot for the sake of her LI, which is something she chooses to do herself. She would give her all if others and her LI didn't tell her to refrain from doing that sometimes.

In her passionate moments, she can be very dangerous to herself and risks her life very often by doing the one thing she shouldn't do to help her LI. That's because she always strives to not sit tight and wait for others to take care of things. She likes to lend a hand, even if it often doesn't work out well for her in the end.

She's very forgiving to people who wronged her. She doesn't hold a grudge and always tries to see the good side of people.

In the PARTY version of KBTBB, she has a similar fundation to her personality where she is still very kind, but she's very different. She has way more sass and is very funny. She gets to show off more badass moments and manages to help the LIs out more since she's braver in her actions.

I hope that answered it!

Stepping into summer ❤️‍🔥

Throwing this colored sketch here after finishing it 2 minutes ago. As usual, my coloring sucks but it's better than doing nothing at least?

I'm at a point in my life where I'm finally reconciling with vibrant colors so trying to experiment with them in my art as well.

Don't mind me if I've been posting less lately. It's a mix between wanting to do other things than my hobbies and being tired. I still enjoy the games but need some time for myself I guess? That, and my room has been a pretty mess for a while, so sitting at my desk to post from my computer is more challenging 🤣

I have a question... How do you think the 3S + Boss's voices sound like? I remember that in the early days, Voltage used to do this thing with their trendy games like KBTBB & IM (back then) where they had seiyuus voice the characters on a 2-3 minute video or something like that. I loved that! But I don't think they have done it with MK or their newest games. So I wanted to ask the Queen of MK herself lolol.

Hi there!! That's so kind of you to say, thank you so much 🥹❤️

I'm sorry for the late reply!

Voltage made multiple voiced stories back then, even for HLITF which was awesome! They also have voiced stories for Tsugaru and Ayumu and maybe more on their Otkoi (otona/MORE stories) JP website.

I wish they did it for MK and more titles as well, but maybe it's not possible for now. So indeed, MK doesn't have voiced stories 🥲

I know that in a special Voltage program, there were seiyuus that played a game where they had to say a line in the character's voice and it could last a whole hour. I had searched a lot for it and had found a video where Kazuomi and Kei were voiced by two seiyuus.

I don't think they were meant to be their "official" seiyuus, but it was nice. That's the closest we got to them being voiced.

It'd be hard to describe what I'd have in mind for their voices. Before I used to search for seiyuus that could match the 4 of them, but it's hard because finding the perfect voice is tricky. In my opinion, their voices should be deep without being "too much".

Seiichi's voice should have a subtle sensuality to it and deeper than the rest. He'd probably speak slowly and in a low tone when talking to the MC, as a way to woo her and also manipulate at first. But when they become a couple, it'd also be his way of being intimate, and living in secrecy.

Kazuomi's should also have sensuality, as well as a playful side. He'd probably be the trickiest to cast because his energy and classy attitude is hard to embody. He has a special charm you wouldn't want to ruin with a bad voice?
