Haha what if I made a thread about me replaying through mystic messenger...

SPOILERS obviously but here's the warning anyway:

I've been replaying yoosung's route and so far it's such a mixed bag. The beginning of his route sucks ASS because he keeps comparing you to Rika. But then RIGHT after he finally gets the message, boom: Bomb in the apartment

I'm looking at a guide to make sure I get the most hearts I can (I'm replaying to get enough hourglasses for all the dlc/V and Saeran's route) and some of these options are so unfair lol. In the middle of yoosung's route you're supposed to calm him down when he's mad at V -

But yoosung has EVERY RIGHT to be mad at him at that point??? Everyone is like "trust V, we're sure he had a good reason to put a bomb in the apartment". Yoosung quickly goes from the most annoying to the most reasonable person in his own route it's so funny.

My first time playing through yoosung's route at 17: I don't know much about V but he seems nice so I will give him the benefit of the doubt :>

Me, 21, replaying Yoosung's route: V YOU MOTHERFUCKER

Don't get me wrong I am very sympathetic of him BUT Yoosung had EVERY right to be mad at him lol

I forgot how many people in the RFA are religious

I missed a call from Yoosung while he was at the mint eye headquarters I can never forgive myself

Holy shit I had my suspicions that 7's sad piano music was just his theme but slowed down but like. Fuck bro that's really sad

I mean all the sad piano themes are just each respective RFA members' themes but slowed down. All these fuckers are so sad can we please get some love in the chat

This dumb bitch MC can't hear the sad 707 piano music playing in this chat she's just so happy everyone's alive but I KNOW THE TRUTH
7 I'M SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR BROTHER

Hee hee gonna finish Yoosung's route today :3 idk who's route I should go through next. Zen no doubt will get me a lot of hearts and hourglasses lol. But also I'm missing a picture from Jumin's route...

The music is so fucking loud I can barely hear any of the RFA talking and I can't go back and change the settings kdmxkdmmf

7 is trying to vent about how it's his fault how he couldn't protect yoosung but my mom just got me this plate of ribs so. Sorry 7 you'll have to wait!!

Why are they playing Zen's music for the party? Did they just not have other music to play and Zen's sounded the classiest? They're even using Zen's sentimental music

Yoosung's speech was very touching and really shows how much he's matured. It's great.

But the VERY last line of his route is such a gut punch dkdndkdmdmkx

6/10

OKAY so it looks like the Deep route won!! I'm doing Jumin's route because it looks like I missed one of his photos djnfjfnfn

WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE ANOTHER STORY COSTS 550 HOURGLASSES????? I'm gonna have to date these guys like 5 times at this rate!!!

Who wants to fund me for my RFA calling card

"You can skip the common days and go straight to 7 or Jumin's route for 100 hourglasses!" FUCK YOU I DON'T EVEN HAVE 200 HOURGLASSES

Mr. Han is very untrusting but little does he know I'm about to fuck his shit up with my unconditional love.

Won't even know what hit him...

Yoosung: I'm so glad you joined it was a hopeless sausage fest until now lol

Bro Jaehee is right there

Calling Jumin on the first night like a dumbass

Me: I need to save hourglasses for Another story
Also me: calls Jumin on the first day TWICE

Okay so as of now I have 160 hourglasses let's see if I actually manage to get more by the end of this run

I try to avoid breaking hearts as much as possible but everytime yoosung calls women creatures of empathy I HAVE to correct him. I do not care if Cheritz wants me to kiss his ass to get that heart I WON'T

SUCK SHIT YOOSUNG

He's learning at least

Bullying Yoosung hours

I don't think anyone in the RFA knows what "androgynous" means

Zen what does this mean

So I did the math and if I were to get the secret endings AND buy Another Story route, I'll need 766 hourglasses, and I only have 169 () hourglasses

597 more to go...

Yoosung I swear to God I'm gonna

Moon Fortune didn't consider ME

This is so unlike 7 djncjcmdkfm it sounds like he's jealous

I'm laughing for real right now

How many names do you think he hames?

Someone has made this joke before I'm sure

I can't stop

OKAY LAST ONE

p

7 just gave me 2 hour glasses in this one chatroom alone I'm gonna kiss his ass now. Watch me accidentally get into his route

Need this kind of attitude

Me on any given route:

LOL

WHY WAS HIS FIRST INSTINCT TO CALL THE GIRL HE'S ONLY KNOWN FOR 4 DAYS

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Why does Zen participate in chatrooms that Jumin is already in if he hates him so much? Jumin doesn't really care if Zen is in a chatroom, but Zen HATES his guts.

If I were Zen I'd probably just stay out of those chats when possible, but I suppose Zen's ego is too big for that.

You KNOW that Jumin's in the chat. The chatroom shows you who's in it before entering.

The meganes are FIGHTIIIIING

My life is on the line and all you can think about is FUCKING???

Logical?

I am so sorry to disappoint but I have quite the outdoor voice lol

Honestly MC that's rude as hell, but also Zen is showing off on his looks as always so

Yoosung stop breaking the 4th wall!!!

Where is the no drinking option...

SEVEN STOP THIS ISN'T YOUR ROUTE

The women are unionizing

Seven stop flirting I'm in another route

I MISSED A CALL FROM JUMIN SOMEONE END ME

TW: sexual harassment/assault, CSA

Just got through a visual novel segment which showed a bad dream Jumin was having, but it seemed like a flashback where one of his step moms was coming onto him while he was just a teen. I can get why an experience like that would (1/2)

Turn him way from dating and any interest in sex, but I still don't think it's an excuse for his "women are the same" mentality. Ultimately, it's hard not to feel awful for Jumin after reading that though :< (2/2)

NSFW:

ZEN YOUR PRINGUS

Seven reset theory real???

To all my followers:

I'm gonna fuck your shit up bitch!!!

MOOD

ZEN WHAT THE HELL

At this rate Jumin and Jaehee are the only ones that won't get their asses kicked

Ah...mood... :{

Not that you ever had a chance since she was always with V, but I'm just saying maybe you dodged a bullet, Jumin...

YOOSUNG MEGA MOOD OF THE DAY

I have to eat breakfast right now or I'll disappoint Zen!!!

Do you want me to get your route or not >:/

707 says: Go oustide!!!!!!!

Catboy lovers come get your man

Terminatrix...

The photo he's using for his icon is literally the photo I'm missing from his gallery god DAMMIT

I only really know how to make eggs jsmdjdmdm and I didn't even know Jumin knew how to cook.

But also if someone made me pancakes that'd be an easy way to win my heart :3

Uh oh. Yoosung route 2.0

"Young lady"?

Jaehee is so considerate I love her :3

Boom, boom, boom, boom
I want you in my room
Let's spend the night together
From now on and forever

All these options SUCK

Taking everything in my power to not call Jumin RIGHT NOW

I ONLY NEED 10 MORE HOURGLASSES BUT IF I CALL HIM NOW I'LL BE OUT 5 HOURGLASSES

Getting the tradwife end

Zen, wrong ending!!!

HHWFJNFKDK

I don't mind getting dolled up but I don't even like tea

All my loved ones when I said I was redownloading mystic messenger

Oh? Is this a real song? Time to do some research.

DISNEY'S "UP"???

JSNFKCJDMNF SHUT UUUUP AAAAAAAA

Wait that's not fair YOUR ears aren't revealed

JAEHEE FUCKED UP MOMENTS

She's so funny ejfncjmdm

The app store is trying to recommend me all these other otome games

YOU WILL NEVER BE MYSTIC MESSENGER

SAEYOOOUNG

Harvest period...?

M*RDER IN THE CHAT

RIKA FUCKED UP HOURS

HEY RIKA THAT WAS A FUCKED UP JOKE

YOOSUNG YOU HAD YOUR ROUTE

Zen was being kind of a jerk earlier in this route but he's making major points here.

JUMIN THIS IS THE GOOD ROUTE STOP IT

Jrnfjdnkdjmfkejdm

Ultimate wife guy Jumin Han

JUMIN IT'S BEEN 10 DAYS SLOW DOOOOWN

But also uwu

Why is the creepy music box mint eye music playing???????

Considering that Jumin had feelings for Rika and wanted to give Elizabeth up after he fell in love with MC, I wonder if this means he wanted to give up Elizabeth to let go of Rika? Am I overthinking it?

Never mind I was totally right

Lol aw :>

HHHHHHHHHHHHH

Okay guys I was gonna go for the normal end to get the photo for that but I don't know...

My honey bunny =:3

I GOT AN HOURGLASS FOR SAYING THAT DJFNJFMFNCM

YOOSUNG I am TAKEN

I'll make you change your mind when I get your good route again

(Hang in there Saeyoung I love you )

I was gonna call Saeyoung a manlet but I remembered he's 5'9"

Why the hell is everyone so fucking TALL

The people have SPOKEN

(I already did the normal route just a while ago to get the photo djnfjfkd BUT I will go back and do his good end for you, my followers...) https://twitter.com/TrashicalGirl/status/1377498178417786880?s=19

Haha guess who's paying 5 hourglasses to go through an ending she has seen before even though I'm trying to save up for all the dlc I want :]

YOOSUUUUUNG STOP IIIIIT

Everyone needs to hop off my cooch I'M TAKEN

So this plays a bit differently in the good end...

Final thoughts on Jumin's route:

It's good I like it a lot :>

Although Jumin DOES compare you to Rika a few times, it's way more annoying in Yoosung's route. Especially since Rika is his cousin and not Jumin's so it feels less uncomfortable.

Also Jumin calls me a princess :3

I think I may have a weakness for cold characters who learn to warm up after finding love.

Anyway, ultimate wife guy Jumin Han, 10/10

Spent 5 hourglasses to load my file for the good ending, so I'm a bit short for buying the last secret endings.

So new plan! In celebration of Zen's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZENNY), I'm gonna buy the April Fool's dlc! I'll be able to farm hourglasses while enjoying new content

I survived the April Fools dlc https://twitter.com/TrashicalGirl/status/1377851630482243586?s=19

Well that was the end of that. I'm missing 4 photos but I feel empty and super fucking sad now lmao I'm gonna start a casual route...for Zenny...

Thinking about how Seven doesn't get to be recognized for his talents as a secret agent and how he lives an invisible life because he had to abandon his old life to live in secrecy just to survive

God DAMMIT Seven I KNOW you're suffering

Jumin PSA:

You know, despite Yoosung being the most gullible, he is the least susceptible to V's lies. I forgot at this point 7 said he was locked in at work (despite making the time to prank Yoosung).

V did you account for the fact that I might fucking suck at this

Oh YOU can't replace Rika but I can. Alright cool I gUeSs

Another thing worth pointing out is V never denies Yoosung's accusations

7 fans even though 7 was the one to install the bomb in Rika's apartment and never tells you when you start living there:

Nice Sonic reference, Yoosung. A true gamer

Reading this right before graduating college is a whole different level of anxiety inducing haha

I do, Zen, as you can see RIGHT THERE

Jaehee: yes I will openly oogle one of the RFA members in the chat

MC: it would be nice to hang out with him ...

Jaehee: you silly little bitch

I find this part of Jaehee's character so fascinating. She mentions in the casual route days as well as her own route that she's had to bury her feelings to become a successful career woman so she probably thinks she's helping Zen by enforcing this more cynical perspective. (1/2)

Unfortunately for her, Zen cares more about his emotional needs than his career, which is saying something since he really cares about his acting career. (2/2)

You'll be singing a different tune when I get on your route, miss

Jdnxidnkrjfmfkdnmd Jaehee is so rude

SAEYOUNG QUIT IT THIS ISN'T YOUR ROUTE

Jumin should be a hitman

Another Jumin PSA:

Whoa Gamer Yoosung at it again Nice Cheritz reference

"I'm a guy but" shut the fuck up we all know you're bisexual

How fucking dare you make the good zen option the most obnoxious when prime 7 flirting is RIGHT there

Fuck it one bad option won't ruin my run

So in JUMIN'S route, Zen complains about Jumin getting too personal and tmi in the chatroom and says he should write in his diary

In ZEN'S route, Jumin gets fed up with Zen's constant obsession with his looks and says he should write it in his diary.

Oh how the turn tables...

Look who's talking, Mr. heavy drinker...

Jdnxkdndknd

I DID IT I GOT THE PHOTO

welp looks like I can quit Zen's route now-

Wow! Congratulation!

Yoosung pro-polyamory

Jumin you bitch he has an allergy

Jumin's hair is so hard to draw

Sure Zen you didn't get Jumin's help then, but 7 was the one that made the promo video and then spread it like malware djnfjcn

I appreciate that I can have a "stop teasing him" option but I can still laugh at the teasing itself.

You know, when you're having a really shitty day, sometimes all you need is a pretty anime man to tell you to cheer up.

Drag him to filth, Jaehee

Ma'am I said IF I can't go

Okay so Jaehee is concerned about a woman going to his apartment and the papparazzi making a fuss about that, but SHE is also a woman??? They don't care if she has noble intentions, they will see what they want. MA'AM.

ULTIMATE WING MAN JUMIN HAN

Okay so
1. Does this mean if Zen WEREN'T a celebrity, Jaehee would consider pursuing a relationship with him?

2. :< Jaehee needs some friends or new hobbies... JAEHEE I WILL BE YOUR FRIEND PLEASE

SEVEN STOP FLIRTING THIS ISN'T YOUR ROOOOUTE

King we have known each other for 6 days...

(But also )

:< nooooooo

Making a note of this for drawing ideas later...

MC: do I do something wrong :'<

Jaehee: Bitch I simply do not trust like that

Jaehee: Anyone can lie online. You would need to meet MC in person to make a thorough judgement.

Zen: So then MC can visit me.

Jaehee: No wait-

Let the man have a girlfriend, Jaehee :[

You know what best friends do? Kiss on the lips. Both of you, come here

In Jumin's route, Jumin says that he and his father are close. Aside from Mr. Chairman's womanizing, Jumin seemed rather fond of his father. But here, he says he dislikes his father! What's up with that?

I think Jumin can go a bit overboard with his teasing, but I get the impression that Jumin isn't the best at picking up social cues, since all the RFA thinks he's a bit weird. Jumin really does care, he just has his own way of showing it :>

He still has trouble considering others' perspectives though...... ;;;

I totally just got shot down :'{

I would buy a sippy cup if it looked cute so maybe I am the wrong person to ask

Seven shut the fuck UP this is a grown baby zone

Yoosung please keep telling me about your cute whale bowl

I'm actually really shocked how much 7 reveals about himself in this chat. It's not very detailed but I didn't know he would say he ran away and had (past tense :{...) a brother.
Saeyooooooung

Sir this is my predominantly catholic RFA server

Whoa it's the MC

:< remembering that Rika was the one who encouraged him to go to college, and that the reason he wanted to become a vet was because of Rika's dog.

It sucks when you enter another route and you see how the other RFA members are doing without your support

Mm-hmm, sure...

:)

Okay so I certainly can not be the first person saying this about Zen's route but uh. This shit is not good lol.

TW for sexual harassment/sexual assault

So I don't think the idea of Zen's career getting thrown into jeopardy because of a scandal itself was a bad idea, but

SERIOUSLY who's idea was it to make it be a FALSE SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATION. Jumin's also under scrutiny because a rumor broke out (by the same woman trying to ruin Zen) that he's gay, but as Jumin mentions in his own route iirc, this rumor circulates frequently and dies out fast

And because it dies down fast, Jumin's strategy is to ignore it and is surprised Zen can't do the same for his own smear campaign

I get it that Jumin struggles to understand perspectives beyond his own, but THESE 2 SCANDALS ARE SO DIFFERENT.

ZEN IS BEING ACCUSED OF A CRIME

A FUCKING CRIME, JUMIN!!! THIS ISN'T THE SAME THING HOLY SHIT

Zen himself is a mega sweetheart throughout the route. He isn't the problem so much as the scenario written for his route. Another scandal could have been written instead!!

Maybe Jaehee's fears come to life and the MC IS caught leaving Zen's house late at night. Or maybe some snoopy reporters write judge-y articles about Zen's lower class status and how that clashes with his sharing the stage with the famous Echo Girl. ANYTHING BUT THIS HOLY FUCK

One of my favorite things in mysmes is when Jaehee :)

He just shows he cares in his own special way

Element of surprise

I'm sorry to all my friends when I start incorporating -_- and >_< into my everyday lexicon now

I feel like no one gets nearly as pissed off as Zen does about the bomb in any other route. Also I do not like tea but I would drink it for you Zenny...

Imagine you were out doing whatever the whole day and come back into the group chat only to get THIS news dropped on you. Kdmxkdnmd poor Yoosung.

Alsjmfjfnekfnfk

Oh????? I mean as long as we're safe....

Jaehee I have 2 hands

Hee hee new profile pic :3c

SO MUCH happens in this route and Zen's is the recommended FIRST route. Good lord...

Really uh...laying in that foreshadowing really thick here...

Fucking RUDE

Don't you fucking worry V I'm saving up hourglasses for your route DON'T YOU FUCKING WORRY V

WAIT NEVER MIND NEW PROFILE PIC I LOVE YOU ZENNYYYYY

WHAT IS Y O U R ROUTE THEN, JUMIN???

Yoosung is supportive at least

HAHSBMDNFKDJMDKDJFKEK HE'S GONNA BE SICK

YO WAIT IS SHE WEARING HIS TURTLENECK SWEATER

I spent 50 hourglasses to buy a new save slot for Zenny~

Now I don't have enough to buy everyone's Valentine’s DLC ndndkndm

I have enough to buy the secret ending episodes, but I still gotta collect more hourglasses for, well, everything else

So, uh, which route next dudes

Those answers look wonky sorry there's a character limit djnfkcndm
