oh no, most definitely not!! i'm sorry if my comment about Charlie being an angel misled you. there's no official word about what the light and night stands for, but IMO just think of them as yin yang and a gradient scale. neither can exist without the other, and we're all a mixture of these things.

light = yang, idealism, selflessness

night = yin, realism, selfishness

putting aside sariel for now (because he's true neutral), you can see that Charlie and Osborn are much more frank about themselves and live according to their principles, even if that goes against others. it's not that they don't have trauma in their pasts, but they've mostly confronted it and don't place that baggage between them and the MC. they look towards the future.

on the other hand, Evan and Jesse are shackled by family stuff. i've already mentioned that Evan is on a path of revenge and he's super nihilistic lmao. Jesse has been implied to have a dark past too, especially after he moved to Europe and his father died, and had a rude wake up call about how, in order to protect the people he cares about, he has to bear certain responsibilities and do certain things. HMM. not to mention, Jesse has a literal connection with death because of his abilities and that's yin energy. both characters are focused on the past.

(one day, when i stop being lazy, i’ll write an essay about Jesse and the greek mythology symbolism with him because the implications of these stories + his knight symbolism is Troubling like how i saw Evan's unsettling signs. it's why the two of them being night doesn't surprise me at all.)

going back to sariel, you can see that he's much more depressed and haunted by the past compared to Osborn and Charlie (so night). however, in contrast to Evan, Sariel is much more accepting of what's happened to him and he's more free than someone like Jesse who has to succeed his family (so light).

If you have time can you please a analysis of the game of each the ML are falling for the heroine like how slow build their relationship is going in, and what type romantic love the heroine has with them.

i'll try my best but please keep in mind that the game is barely 3.5 months old, so there's still a lot to learn about the characters. i'm also still missing one SSR for all the characters except Osborn.

i'm going to talk about the characters below in the order of fastest relationship development to slowest. warning for spoilers up to Chapter 10 of the game and its released cards!

Osborn (Xiao Yi)

he's known as a pro racer for a reason LOL (the joke is that "driving a car" in chinese means making dirty jokes or flirting). he's the first of the guys to get an explicit kiss card and he constantly makes the heroine blush. sexual tension is always present in their interactions!

Now I know that the game Light and Night is barely a year old,but so far what's your opinion of the mc is she likeable and relatable.

haha, calling it barely a year old is a stretch when it's not even half a year old! it's a really, really young game still.

i don't think i can answer this question well though because it's very subjective. she shares the traits of all the other CN mobile otome game heroines, like Love and Producer and Themis, they are all hardworking, compassionate and understanding with second chances, and uphold justice and the importance of a life.

this is just the way mobile otome game heroines are written so they can capture the largest audience possible (you run the risk of alienating audiences if your heroine is too idiosyncratic).

rather than commenting on the heroine, i guess i can say i like the pace and setup of the story in Light and Night? everything escalates and happens quickly so it avoids Love and Producer's problems at the beginning where it felt like everyone knew things except for the heroine and that made people feel like she was dumb (you need to separate audience omniscience from character perspective).

but Light and Night's heroine gets involved fast, told about what's going on, and even learns to use her powers quickly. currently, the things the heroine doesn't know are things the men themselves aren't 100% sure on and/or it doesn't directly involve her and so she doesn't need to know (putting aside Evan's, uh, complicated circumstances of revenge).

going back to the power bit, actually, everyone in the game abuses their powers LOL they use it all the time in their daily life. but i really think it's genius how well-matched the heroine's powers are with each guy and how it plays significantly different roles.
