Be My Loyal Subject - Historical Boys Love (BL) Visual Novel

It's going to be a neutral review. As all other ChaniMK's games I've played before [I] Be My Loyal Subject [/i] was a nice, relaxing, lighthearted novel. I mean there were bad/death endings, of course. And despite having a couple of sentences for them I still felt touched. But anyway there was nothing too exciting. Everything in the game felt so familiar and typical for this dev's story. And btw I don't think it's a bad thing. It feels safe and comforting when you know what to expect. The reasons for a thumb up: +save slots \o/ still not enough xD I remember it was my biggest complaint all the time in these games. And here when the first (and usually the only) page of save slots was full and I was about to rewrite, I noticed there're more!!!The game had THREE pages of save slots xD That's such a huge progress. I'm grateful :) Though with many choices the game offers it's not sufficient to save before each choice what I usually do. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?i...

This game is a lot of fun. The dialouge, music and characters are so befitting of the era; and King Ulric's arrogant yet intelligent personality is such a gem to read (he is such a great character)! I like the main love interests, they're awesome (the steward is adorable as heck) and the storyline is very engaging and fun, with amusing little events and interactions! I also really like the art and character designs. They are simple and effective. I'm a bit biased in terms of the morale system, because I'm obsessed with the rights of the people. Have a feeling Ulric's demise may be at my own hands. I also like the base soundtrack. Though the songs are few, they are both catchy and nice bops to listen to. The town exploration theme is my personal favorite! The UI is pretty decent, with multiple saves and nice options. I like how fast the text moves, and the design of the interface is simple and easy to use. My only feedback regarding the UI is that it buffers and lags sometimes, and ...

Of all the things to happen in this game... So uh... I maybe didn't want other Love Interests to be left out, sooooo... The King was in love with all of them... And they were in love with him............ --> I MADE A HAREM! That isn't an option... It is in my head though... Heh heh. Right well... I noticed that every game I play from Chani, I get to have different things to tinker with. This one has a MORALITY system. IT ISN'T as scary as it sounds... You'll see. So basically you read as per usual: Make your choices. The choices are instinctual... (Just like in the other games by this Developer... THANKFULLY!) Then the King has to oversee "Requests" from people and you can only pick one. You have to have MORALITY at Mid-level to High... To not get a bad end. BUT IF YOU DO! Just restart the Chapter. Chani offered us a handicap... Especially for us who keep CONSTANTLY failing the Merchant's Morality haha... (You got it... It's me!) There is also a tricky Moral...

It was very fun to see the story unfold through Ulric's smug eyes.

this one reminds me a little of "your royal gayness" even if it's different some mechanics to keep everyone happy (or not) in your reign are similar didnt like the main protagoinst at first but then story was ok and I ended going for all routes and endings with no stress

Will recommend this game. Still a bit stunned how much they were able to put depth into such a short game. I think the only thing this game misses is a harem ending of sorts. But other than that? Each route got it's own interesting story to tell and the general story as well as the events are nicely written too. Again, it's short. But that's not necessarily a bad thing in this case. Go try it.

Petition to let us give the Duke a red flower in return because I think that would be really funny

"The people do not have enough *mead*" are you kidding me?! They do not have enough ALCOHOL?? And that is a reason why I should increse the TAXES?! Game had me until this point.
