YMMV / Enchanted in the Moonlight

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Magama. It's implied that he knows his clan's one-hit-kill skill, since he taught it to Chikage. But he never uses it, and in fact relies a lot more on lower end skills even when powered up from the protagonist's hair and/or blood, and spends a lot more time provoking Chikage than trying to kill him. Magama's interest in the protagonist is also purely because Chikage is after her - he's not interested in her power boosting abilities, or her ability to have super powered ayakashi children (which is the reason most ayakashi are after her). Combine that with Magama feeling abandoned/betrayed by Chikage, and comments from Chikage implying that this has been going on for a while... For Magama, it's all about Chikage, possibly in some variation of Suicide by Cop or a platonic version of If I Can't Have You… combined with Mutual Kill / Together in Death.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Most of the men the protagonist PC met in her life were lying to her: Samon was there specifically to spy on her, the 'normal' human men in her life are ayakashi in disguise who mean her harm, and even the love interests will keep her in the dark 'for her own good.' One wonders whether the protagonist is deliberately not thinking about how much of her life is potentially just a lie. No wonder she often feels insecure regarding her love interest.
  • It's been a bit of a rough day: the protagonist has had a few near death experiences and is understandably skittish (such occurances are unusual) and just wants to go home where it's safe. Except waiting for her at home are a bunch of strange men, who she's seen throughout the day, and who had shown up to 'save' her from her problems. What's a normal woman likely to think: that these men are her heroes, or that they're stalkers, or some other kind of dangerous lunatic that she doesn't understand? What's worse, Samon has let them in. He's in on the whole thing. Someone very close to you is not who he appears to be, and in short order more people are trying to kill you. Your options are to become a brood mother for one of the weirdos Samon let in, get killed, or be captured and become a brood mother and THEN die at the hands of one of the less magnanimous ayakashi who've been after you all day. Top that off that, your choices are largely cosmetic, and mostly to keep you complacent and from attempting to run off. Your life is not your own, and the best you can hope for is Happiness in Slavery.
  • For a particularly private person, everyone always knowing when you last had sex is not going to be a comfortable experience.
  • Shinra's sequel contains a healthy dose of worries for both himself and the protagonist. As Shinra becomes more violent and aggressive, neither he nor the protagonist understand the cause or the cure. Shinra is aware that his behavior is changing, that he's behaving irrationally and abusively, but can't control himself and seems to be suffering an oni-specific variation of mental illness that coincides with his recent power boost. The protagonist on the other hand, behaves very much like the real-life equivalent of a woman on the fast track to being a Domestic Abuse statistic, rationalizing that Shinra used to be very sweet and that his changing behavior wasn't his fault. Only the fact that the protagonist pulls off a combination Deus ex Machina / Get A Hold Of Yourself Man keeps it from ending in a tragedy.
• Take That!: Possibly a subtle version, and really only comes into play if you've read both Miyabi's and Chikage's sequels and can do the comparison - especially if you read Miyabi's route first. Miyabi bows under political pressure and leaves the protagonist when she loses her powers in his sequel (although not without raising enough ruckus about it in the Mononoke village that he gets imprisoned for it later). Chikage however, explicitly states that he'd stick by the protagonist even if she ever lost her powers, a possible jibe against Miyabi's route. Chikage then follows through on those words, willing to step down as clan head to live with the protagonist.
• Values Dissonance: The first sexual encounter of Miyabi and the protagonist is definitely non-consensual, and would be much, much worse if this wasn't a romance game. It's jarring, however, to see the protagonist reasoning that she only has herself to blame for not fighting off the (explicitly more powerful) ayakashi more resolutely.
  • Not to mention the times when the game treats the sexual assault as funny. Voltage often uses the music to indicate the emotion a scene is supposed to be portraying, and there are times when the game pairs the this-is-funny music with the protagonist protesting, in all seriousness, against the ayakashi love interest trying to feel her up. It feels almost like poorly done Black Comedy Sexual Assault.
