Maid For My Master

ROBOT MAIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

As a 'maid lover', this visual novel caught my attention. As a 'gynoid enthusiast', it made me curious. Having a cute gynoid maid as the heroine, I couldn't resist. The game demanded to be played. This is my first ebi-hime title, and I must say I enjoyed it very much. The story is cute, the characters are a delight, the soundtrack is fun, and the optional H scenes are tastefully done. 10 out of 10, would let Holly top me again! The visual novel was made with Ren'Py, so I, being visually impaired, used the self-voicing accessibility feature. I found some buttons without alternative text and reported it to the developer. Hopefully, that will be fixed soon. Also, although the game's info doesn't say so, using gamepads is supported. I played with a DualSense PS5 controller and everything worked as it should. I enjoyed the focus the plot gave Asahi's (the point-of-view character) conflict with stereotypical masculinity. At various points of the story, he tries (and mostly fails) to act i...

[i]Maid for my Master[/i] is on the shorter end for an ebi-hime VN, but no less sweet for it - the romance develops in conjunction with the individual growth of the two leads. I found Holly and Asahi's unlikely match with one another to be just absolutely adorable. Both of them bring out the best in each other through their genuine care and wish to make things easier for the other. I was drawn to Holly's character early on by the way that her boss and clients spoke disparagingly about her; it actually brought to mind the way that people speak about trans people (denying their gender and personhood) and autistic people (berating them for misunderstandings when they are doing their best). She resonated with me for both of these reasons, and might do the same for other readers who are autistic, trans, or both. Nazuna is also a fun side character - her abrasiveness hides a cute tsundere inside, hahaha. Asahi's interactions with her and her robot companion, Antoine, do a good job of widen...

As a lover of robot characters, I am happy to feed my interest.

This pulls on all my emotions, in only the first few minutes! Working a register with the public, seeing Japanese culture in technology and vending machines, icy cold night air, warm food, talking to robots, both loving and hating long interactions with people... ebi-hime is a great writer!

A cozy, calming story. My favorite robot maid story is Me & Roboco, but this is a different genre and stands on its own. Calling it second place would be misleading.

Ignore the playtime: I originally bought this on itch, then purchased it again on Steam to help out with the algo. The actual length is more like 4 hours. Speaking of, here's what I said over there: "This was really sweet, and I liked how capable Holly was despite what one might expect from the whole maid framing (not that I was surprised myself having read your other work, but still). Also the soundtrack was a nice treat, I was not expecting the 90s-style music but it was really good." Finally, just since the store page doesn't mention it, I really appreciated seeing a short guy in a VN, so if that's something you also like then do check this out.
