MC is awkward and a bit of a loner. This leads her to being bullied and feeling insecure. Suddenly she finds herself being pestered by two guys who want to make her into a supermodel. One is cruel and in relenting, the other strange and obsessive. A premise that felt odd, I admit - and I hated how they initially do not take no for an answer. The characters were very intense and approach her with utterly ridiculous, overpowering determination. However, I began to appreciate this game for the fact that the two guys were not perfect in every way, as most otome guys end up being portrayed. They were broken, flawed characters, not for the MC to fix, but to accept as they are. Somehow, underneath it began to feel they needed to push her to that extreme level or she would have never left her comfort zone. Along the way, they made their own sacrifices, which kinda made up for the rough beginning, and all three of them grew on me. Also, shenanigans ensued, and I love shenanigans!
There were some sadistic/masochistic undertones, for those who are interested in that aspect. No real complaints, I enjoyed finishing each guy’s storyline. The threesome option was a bit over the top in my opinion, so that was kinda rough. But it didn’t take away from the surprisingly interesting and pleasant feel I got from the general game.
