What Readers Say

Finally, a blog that treats dating sims like the narrative art they are — no cringe, no gatekeeping, just sharp writing and genuine enthusiasm.

Maya T., Longtime Visual Novel Fan

Their guide to *Hakuoki* routes helped me finally get the Yukimura ending I’d been chasing for years. Worth every bookmark.

Derek L., Route Completionist

I’ve recommended SimRomance to three friends who ‘don’t get’ dating sims — now they’re all writing fanfic and debating love triangle ethics.

Sam R., Newbie to the Genre
