Voltage games, historically, are very common but do not usually impress me in any way. This one was just more fun in the sense that I enjoyed having my own butler. MC finds out she’s the daughter of a wealthy theme parn entrepreneur, and the butlers are sent to help her get ready to take on this new position as an heiress. The patronizing beginning kind of aside, it was cool to have this secret other life in high society, and have these men be helpful - more or less. I especially liked that in one of the storylines, Itsuki and Tomoki actively competed to win MC’s affection, it was adorable - even though I did not approve of her final choice. Plotwise, however, these stories were average at best.

However, I must say, I was not a huge fan of the constant heckling that was going on. It seemed really rude, to come into MC’s life and criticise her body, her job, her wardrobe and everything else in the name of building her into some pretty puppet. I guess you could say there were two very different aspects to this game, and you kinda take the good with the bad.
