Samurai of Hyuga Book 3 12+

My all time favorite series to come out of either Choice of Games or Hosted Games. It deals with some heavy themes, but it deals with them well. The characters are unique and very different from each other, the plot is exciting, and the main character has a strong influence and personality while still being completely unique and customizable by the player, if that makes sense.

As someone with Chinese heritage it’s so refreshing to see a game set in East Asia. All too often, other games subconsciously write for western characters and settings in mind (not a bad thing by all means) but it feels so incredibly good to have a game set in Japan that references Asian things, culture, and customs.

The series itself is also amazingly well written. Very replayable, and it leaves me longing for each new book every time. Can’t wait for the next!!

I am of Japanese heritage, so I get annoyed at certain cultural ignorance and the glorification of the samurai beyond what they were... That being said, this is an excellent series that got better with every book! I like that there are permanent consequences and effects that your decisions cause, and even for someone who has a decent understanding of the samurai of this era, I like the way the choices are not obvious, and after three times through the series, I’m quite happy with the different outcomes.
This is a book that is probably best for people who enjoy samurai culture and for people who are not overly squeamish! There are some mature themes - not just sexually speaking but also ethically and politically speaking! When these books are made well like this series (and Choice of Robots), it’s both engrossing and educational!
Great work! I’m ready for Book 4!!

I’ve read all 3 books and have become hooked on this story and can’t wait to see what happens as you go through all the books you can’t help but become this filthy robin hired by a powerful family as a body guard then dragged into a demon hunt by the emperor himself and finding out about junko the demons and the possible lovers of the ronin so all in all I give this book and story’s a huge 5 stars and encourage everyone to give it a read
