What Did You Think Of Lover Pretend?? I Kind Of Wanna Pick It Up But I'm Scared I'm Not Gonna Like It
What did you think of lover pretend?? I kind of wanna pick it up but I'm scared I'm not gonna like it lol (゜゜;)
I haven't completely finished Lover Pretend, but I enjoy it every time I pick it up! For me it's a good game for when I need a break from the more dramatic or violent plots I play most of the time, but it's sometimes harder to stay invested in it if I have another game I'm more interested in because there's not a ton of action to it. I tend to categorize otomes based on the movie genres I feel they emulate (ie: Cupid Parasite is like a RomCom, Bustafellows is more like an action movie, etc), so I would describe Lover Pretend as a typical romance drama with a film-making theme. I think that whether you like it or not mainly depends on whether you like that sort of romance drama and whether the guys interest you or not.
I picked it out because the fake-dating gimmick is one of my favorite tropes, and in the two routes I've played it's been a fun addition. There's little gameplay segments where you have to pick the right answers in time to lie to people about your relationship, so that's fun.
As for the boys, Kazuma's route is one of the only childhood friend routes I've enjoyed in all the otomes I've played, and Makino was my immediate favorite because he's a really sweet and super adorable weirdo lol. I'm planning on playing Sena's route next, but I'm not 100% sold on Nishijima or the not-so-secret route character yet.
Overall it's a pretty sweet game for what it is, and it's a nice feel-good game for when I want to enjoy a cute romance, but it's not the kind of game that 100% demands your attention with crazy plot-twists and action.
I hope this helps! It can be kinda irritating to buy a game and end up not liking it. I tend to only get games I'm not sure of when they're on sale so that I at least didn't pay full price if I don't like it, y'know? If you do end up playing it, I'd love to hear your thoughts! :)

i'm playing persona 5 with the fem!joker mod because i am weird about games where the protag is a guy (would be a LONG rant to explain) but romancing ryuji is reminding me of how much i love ryuji lmao.
side note: i'm not in the fandom but i'm still aware that akechi/joker is the most popular ship but it's really funny to me because. my only experiences with persona 5 are this streamer's playthrough (he called ryuji best girl and always declared his love for ryuji but didn't even notice akechi was gay) and my own playthrough (romanced ryuji before even meeting akechi). as far as i'm concerned akechi is always pining for a protag who is Not Interested and Already Dating Ryuji
omg ok SO! I love Ryuji, that is my favorite guy <3 -- P5 is a game where I chose my fave early and it just never changed for the whole game. Love him lol <3
I played royal on switch, so no mods for me, but the fem joker one definitely looks cool! I would have loved to romance Ryuji as part of the game lol. I chose not to have Joker date anyone in my playthrough just bc it didn't feel natural to me.
Joker/Akechi is a great ship narratively, just because character foils are like that sometimes lmao, and I do really like it, but!! I definitely love Pegoryu too <3 -- The two ships kinda serve different purposes imo -- Ryuji is the cute boyfriend that Joker gets to have a sweet and happy relationship with, and Akechi is the guy he's undeniably intertwined with in an obsessive, dramatic, and kinda tragic way, which is a dynamic that I honestly can't get enough of lol. So I love both for different reasons.
Also I highly recommend playing the FemC route in P3 Portable if you haven't already! It's a great way to experience the story, and she has some great social links (Saori, my beloved 😭💖).
