otome_gamesMy Vow To My Liege is a Chinese m/f romance game set in the 5th Century BC Kingdom of Ng/Wu about various real and mythical people.
Content notes: suicide, violence, incest, rape (not from LI), age gap ships, slavery, fatphobia (in the game), hurtful gender reveal, master-slave relationship, major character death, violence between love interests
I really enjoyed this game! Here's my full review. It's well made, with good art, UI, music, and (Mandarin) voice acting. The writing is pretty good, too, a little repetitive in parts and with some pacing issues but made with a lot of heart. The English translation was done by one of the writers and is a little clunky and in need of proof-reading but has some moments of real poetry. And the game is LONG, you get a ridiculous amount of story for the low price.
Here's a masterlist of my reaction posts and a character/place guide.
A fun game to celebrate Lunar New Year, it's currently on sale and even has a magic tiger in it :)
