Otome Daoshi - Ending...
Just finished the >!secret route!< for otome daoshi, and I just felt the need to vent/share my thoughts on it since it was honestly kind of baffling. Spoilers for the whole route.
Like, okay, >!Uro is Yoki's twin, they literally have the same face and the same very distinctive eye color/style, and yet NO ONE comments on that? Even Longli/Seisetsu reacting but not saying anything is treated moreso as them actually knowing who Uro is, not just seeing that they look the same. But Shunlin and all the other main cast at one point or another see Yoki and Uro standing next to each other and NO ONE even off-handedly comments how they look exactly the same and how weird that is?!<
It's only made worse by the scene where >!Uro half-remembers being pushed off the cliff by 'himself' while Yoki is RIGHT in front of him and no one figures it out. Hell, Shunlin even later remarks that 'maybe it was someone who resembled you.' while STILL not making any connection to Yoki, the only person they've seen who looks like him.!<
Also in regards to Shiyu, I don't really get why he was continuing to help >!Yoki or being involved at all after Luojin died. He made it pretty clear in this/other routes that his only real goal was Luojin's death, and anything outside of that wasn't his problem, so why help kill more random innocent people, or continue to keep people enslaved by the shadow arts? He has no need of them any more, so why not just let them go? Plus why help Yoki to the degree he did?!<
You'd figure given Shiyu's backstory that he'd be AGAINST >!encouraging royal brothers to kill each other. He even spares Uro at the beginning presumably out of fondness for his nephew, but he's apparently more than happy to see him slaughtered by his brother at the end even though he'd been the one who was unjustly attacked.!<
