#chineseversion

So, now that we’ve covered why I hate the English MC here and here, you can imagine after Part 3, that I promptly closed the game and wanted to quit for good. After Chapter 8, she really pushed me over the edge, and I don’t know if I could continue the story without feeling attacked or triggered again (anyone who has completed Kenshin’s route know? If she transforms from a totally rude and selfish b with American slang, to a considerate human being with standard English?).

On one hand, I feel like I should finish it, especially after spending USD$70 already (even though I have heard, and am estimating from ‘rankings,’ that people are likely spending hundreds or thousands on it, so my money is just spare change to Cybird). And I kinda wanna know Kenshin’s ending. 

On the other hand, I’m really not keen on feeling like shit. I feel like I’ve given the English MC several chances for redemption, and this was the final straw that I am not accepting. I’ve definitely left money behind in previous apps or professional situations, when I prioritized my mental health over the money I was owed, so it might turn out the same way for Ikemen Sengoku.

It’s been a tumultous week of barely sleeping and not eating. My mind went from:

I’m in love and married to Uesugi Kenshin

I’m unlovable and can’t even get a 2D boyfriend, fml

This is about cultural relativism, isn’t it?

Someone mentioned the English version is ‘occidentalized,’ which means there has to be a Chinese or Japanese version available somewhere

*searches Tumblr and Google*, finds this blessing

Installs Ikemen Sengoku Chinese version via QooApp (let me know if you need help with this, seems like it’s Android only)

I’ll post about the Chinese differences shortly (with what little info I have so far, since I started it yesterday). But I also wanted to say that I’m seriously considering writing Isehime x Kenshin fanfics, and erotica for a different MC x Kenshin pairing. I have many ideas, but I don’t know how well it would be received here (especially since I’m new to Tumblr). So they’ll likely be saved on my private blog until someone asks for it. 

View a few screenshots on the Chinese version (and last post about it) here.
