`Puppet Boss is one of the new games that come out this year. I downloaded it when I saw it has a great ranking. But I have to say this, I am not going to talk very highly about Puppet Boss.
`Note!!!: I am going to try not to give you any spoilers about game, I just here to write about general of the story and game play experience.
`My experience:
`First, I was thinking that "If the all people like that much, it would be very enjoyable game." So i was hyped about it. Seeing a new otome released is always good to see obviously!! I tried a lot of Day7's games so i was sure it's going to be entertaining to play.
`I started game like couple of weeks ago. And i am literally can't play it!! I have to say, I am not spending any real money on games. At least for now. So i was trying my best to watch all adds we got a day but i just stuck at 9th episode obviously. Yes, I thought maybe if I tried I can get everyones points higher and get them all separately. (You can read all episodes even you dont have any affection points, but it isn't that much entertaining.)
`Then I started to focus on my main interest. But, you have to collect clothes and they gave you affection points, I couldn't get that much clothes.
`So, I said to myself "Just focus on story then, it can be still enjoyable huh?" but no.- I know this game is a little bit so far away from otome games. And it focuses physicality. Of course I know that from the start, but I don't know something didn't sit right. The "story i can't get because of my points" is just like whole thing so you cant really enjoy even you try to make normal ending i guess.
`All I can remember is I watched some bugged adds for get 10 money and try to get cards with them. It was frustrating and all I got is some cloth "pieces".
`What is so good about it?:
It is a different kind of visual novel. It has 20+ episodes of main story, side stories, phone chats, SNS posts and more.
The drawing style is average Day7 type of drawing style. Their musics are used in a otome app called "Story Pick" too. (It's Day7's game)
You can move the place a little bit in the main screen!!
`What are the flops?:
Buggy adds./Adds that doesn't allow you to watch for minutes.
Buy and get type of act from game.
Not giving any good experience for non-spender players.
So tight about clothes and special stories in the main story.
`Is it worth to give it a shot?:
`If you are really patient, but reeeaaaally patient, then yes. But I should say this again, this game is really not focus about a i-never-see-that-one story line. So you should be aware of that.
ashton really saw mc and went from "im gonna kill whoever is using my pic to pretend im their boyfriend" to "oh god oh fuck i wanna be her boyfriend" in approximately 10 seconds and i think thats hilarious.
almost as funny as mc pulling a random pic of an eboy off of google to use as her fake bf without realising he's the most popular guy at her school and is Literally in her homeroom class.
— since storypick's release is right around the corner, i present to you one of the stories that shares the same artists as wannabe challenge ♡
TEMPTATION OF TWO WOLVES
— title subject for confirmation
although i'm not quite sure with the plot, here's what i got from day7's posts:
mc's name is JUNG HAN-GYEONG (정한경) tho we might be able to change it to whatever name we want later on
(basing on the previews) unlike our strong-willed and sassy mc, she appears more mild-mannered and timid (and ig she kinda represents a rabit??)
the story will mainly take place in a school setting (most likely a highschool). mc transferred to seoul for her last year in highschool and she's both nervous and excited
the two main leads are gang leaders of their respective schools
and they're either pining over mc or might have their fates tied to her (or not)
MEET THE MALE LEADS
BAN HAEWON
age: 18 y/o
birthday: march 17
nickname: ice prince
height: 181 cm
weight: 59kg
special skill: singing ballads
really popular. you'd have to be living under a rock to not know him
JUNG TAESUNG
age: 18 y/o
birthday: august 23
nickname: killer smile
height: 182cm
weight: 58kg
special skill: riding bicycles
is so popular that people are lining up in front of the school just to see him
EXTRA INFO
mc might be customizable like in wanchal
the two male leads are at each other's necks
both male leads are a year younger than mc (she's 19)
taesung actively tries to convince mc to not hang out/like haewon
both male leads also have fake daum café accounts in the game where they have over 70k fans (daum café irl is like a blogging site for people/celebs/idols where they can interact with their fans)
there have been no mentions of any voice actors whatsoever so the game will most likely won't feature any voice acting
So, I went ahead and downloaded the game in Korean since my impatient behind absolutely cannot wait for the English release. Here's a sneak peek of what to expect!
On the main screen of the story, you'll be able to switch between the MC, Haewon, and Taesung. They're also customizable!
The first button among the buttons found on the lower left corner of the screen leads to your progress with the male leads
The second button leads to the MC's locker where it'll supposedly display items you've collected along the way + additional accessories/decorations for personalization!
The third button leads to the album which acts as an archive for CGs you've unlocked, and the characters' bio data.
The first button on the lower right is where you'll find dates, spin-off stories with the male lead of your choice, and their endings.
The button below starts the Chapter. You can also reread the chapters later on under the reset button. Beware, I haven't tried it myself so proceed woth caution.

the best part in the entire of king b's s1 is on ashton's pov pt1 when he gets concerned over mc not eating so he gives her money and tells her to go to the store and get whatever and she brings back food for him instead. and hes like Oh God Oh Fuck how do i convince her to take it instead so hes just like "actually i hate that stuff, im not eating it"
like all this boy's braincells that were dedicated to communication and politeness were gotten rid of to make room for his love for mc ;/
