My Bully is My Lover
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Overview:
In this emotionally charged narrative-driven game, you step into the shoes of a protagonist who has endured the scars of high school bullying. Haunted by memories of a girl who made life unbearable, you've journeyed through both literal and metaphorical realms of heaven and hell, reshaping your identity and vowing for retribution. Yet, as adulthood dawns, you realize the futility of clinging to past grudges and choose a path of moving forward.
But fate has a twist in store. Your tranquil life is upended when the same high-school bully, along with her friends become your housemates, thanks to your landlady's new rental arrangements. Unprepared and unnerved, you brace for a resurgence of old conflicts. However, what unfolds is a journey far more profound and unexpected.
"My Bully is My Lover" is more than a game; it's a journey of healing, understanding, and the unexpected ways of life intertwine. Prepare to embark on a path where past pain paves the way for growth and unlikely bonds.

How do I get the 7th sky scen
GUYS HOW CAN I UNLOCK THE LATEST SCENES WITH AINE PLEEEEEEEEEES!
It's simple. You have to be on route with her with a lot of points. That means you both need to agree to be official together. This is by far the best scen with her so try to do this. :)
Oh my GOD! This is... Dev, this is an incredible game. I'm in shock at what you've done. After every twist I start laughing hysterically. This game makes you nervous, sad and really happy. I've played a lot of similar projects, but I can say with certainty that what you've done is incredible. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the second chapter. Thank you so much for what you are doing!
Im ...... Shocked and heartwarmed in the same time i cant even say how touched i am ..... ITS a beautiful Game i am in Love with it and i am sad such Love does Not exist in the real world... Not the harem thing i mean what all they Love about MC i hope u dont have the idea to Break all this it would be really sad i almost cried by the fact that moon * DANGER SPOILER WHOEVER READ IT* didn't had anyone and i am the lost piece SHE was looking for and SHE breaked down in tears was so emotional that i almost cried too and its hard for me to cry.
What i want to say is that you did make good Games and really great Storys keep up ur good Work but dont Overwork yourself
MY GOD! this is so amazing I went down the Emy/Emma path and now my heart hurts at the ending of the story SO GOOD! I love these games and this is right next to the best novels in history! Please play

dude your not the only one stuck
How did you get the sport looking one?
Master NiiChan ,i can't unlock the 4 remaining gallery no matter what I do even though I followed the official walkthrough, hope you can notice this it's tormenting me i really want to know
This is a one-of-a-kind game.
As a Chinese person, what I can say is that Chinese students lack three kinds of education: love, sex, and death.
First is love, I think that most parents provide very little education in this area of love, and as the academic load increases, children become more distant from their parents. Parents only give money and ask their children to study well. What is love is a very confusing thing, especially for Chinese students. Of course, I'm not saying that the harem in the game and real love are the same, I just learned something, and I feel that my mental exhaustion has improved. Maternal love is truly great.
Secondary education and death, especially, are lacking in education. I won't say much about sex education, as many people don't have the youth they should have. Most people are in a fast-paced environment. I don't want to talk about it much.
In summary, when these three aspects arise, I become confused and lose confidence. Except for this aspect, it seems that life, study, and work don't matter much to me and I can handle them calmly. However, once these three aspects appear, it's like a wall that is difficult to understand and grasp. It's not that I don't want to understand it. It's not that simply reading some books and watching videos will be helpful.
I learned something about these three aspects while playing the game. I even sent a voice message to my mother to remind her to stay healthy (it was just a short audio recording, but I was crying before and after recording, but I still had to force myself to sound like a normal person with no emotions in the message). You will find that this is like the lovers in the game, where there are many non-realistic factors driving the plot, but in real life, there may not be.
I absolutely love this game, and if I ever get the chance, I will definitely pay for it. As a student, I don't have much money, and I don't have an international payment method at the moment. I will look into how to support the author again. Thank you very much for your work. If anyone is reading this, I really hope someone can tell me some books or something to learn about these three aspects, but preferably not videos. Videos are far less powerful than text, and they also have the bias of the actor's appearance. I think one of the great things about SLG is that there is no voice, only text. The level of appearance is what drives you to play, and text is the most powerful weapon. Voice is actually unnecessary, no matter how well it matches or fits, it is not as powerful as the impact of text.
I originally wanted to play the author's other game, but I couldn't get out of it. I kept clicking on MBML, and every time I opened it, I felt a new emotion. The other characters were all excellent, but in my heart, I only had Amy.
I feel like I'm rambling on and on, and I could probably go on for another 10 times as much, but never mind.
Oh my gosh, I hope you enjoy the game!
I have been constantly reincarnating in any possible place where MBML appears. Reciting the story of Amy.
Oh, and Claire's look reminds me a lot of Aespa - Karina lol...wonder if there was any inspiration there...
Still working through the prologue, but man the story esp with Emy/Emma is amazing. Just noticed a small detail that made me want to comment here...the wine that Gwen is holding at Emma's birthday surprise is Cakebread Cellars - one of my favourite wineries of all time! Nice little touch to use an actual higher end winery in the game - makes me think the writer has a special affinity for it too :) It's little details like this that help separate this story from the many others. Even if the Cab Sauv is my favourite varietal from there :)

Remind me
In order to open some scenes, I need specific options?
I remember you said that all options lead to the same result.
I see that it is difficult to choose between the characters then go back and change the options,bro the game is a little long and develops and it is hard to update it on Android
I'm absolute doomed
Wait a minute, chapter.
I mean, I can't download the whole game? Download chapters only?
I think I can download the whole game, right?
Oh my god (ಥ﹏ಥ)
you can download the content of the game up to chapter 1 episode 4 / the latest whole package of the game
Is there any actual list of all the soundtracks used in this game? i loved all of them.
*Spoiler*
Broooo I was NOT expecting to find alexandra from eternum in this game. Such a nice surprise!
Once again, thank you Nii chan! I'm satisfied that coach from Eternum got beaten up :>
Our MVP!(Moon's Valuable Player) in this latest update! But she has the saddest backstory until present while Emma still the best backstory yet. Moon, Emma, Kei and Shu still the best character followed by Gwen.
Moon > Claire
非常棒的游戏！！！想知道什么时候更新呢？
I praise to you, the GOAT, Nii-Chan!
I just finished Emma’s solo path ending in My Bully is My Lover, and I’m emotionally drained. I never expected to feel this way or to actually cry while playing something that I initially saw as an interesting alternative to Porn. But wow, what a game and what a story. It was intense, deep, and so, so beautiful. I’ll definitely need a long break before I can start any of the other paths because… damn, that was powerful.
I just felt like I needed to share my thoughts right after playing—it’s been a long time since I was this emotional. If you haven’t played it yet, I highly recommend it.
I am the same with you
真特么牛逼兄弟们，强推嗷，作者技术力和剧情编绎能力非常出色，非常推荐试一试
How can I make the gallery have none of the scenes unlocked? I played this game like 2 years ago, forgot everything and want to start again but the gallery is alsomt completely unlocked.
I tried deleting the games AppData folder as well as the savedata inside the game folder, even went as far as to delete the "gallery" files in the game folder. Nothing worked.
First of all, my English isn't very good, so I need to rely on a translator, which might make what I say sound a bit strange. Secondly, I discovered this game during a low point in my life, and I must say, the vibrant characters, the nuanced emotions, the well-placed text, and the story really encouraged me. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I hadn't encountered this game. Lastly, I love all the characters in this work (except for a few villains), I love the story, and I love all the music in it. Thank you very much, NiiChan. I appreciate you creating such an amazing work.
Where do u get all your copyright free music from
Some BGM are bangers (the cuphead x undertale one)
I absolutely enjoy this game, the writing and humor is well thought out and the reasoning behind WHY you were bullied is surprisingly understandable. It takes a few odd turns, but most often those plot twists help progress the story in a good direction. That being said, I have only three real criticisms, all of which are related to Sky / Klara.
Note these are personal preferences and not a criticism of people who enjoy those genres.
(Potential Spoilers, OBVIOUSLY, so continue reading at your own risk)
1. How you define the relationship for Klara and Sky. With no real contectual dialog changes, it can break emersion when people are 'shocked' you are having sex with your roomate. All of the consequences / reactions to continuing down the 'roommate' and 'landlord' route are very ovbiously written as though you are related to Klara and Sky. This annoyed me and I personally just gave up and set them as Sister / Mother considering everyone treated them as relatives regardless.
2. Sex scenes that you have no agency to decide whether or not you will participate. Even if these mandatory sex scenes are contained within flashbacks, not having the power to choose slightly annoyed me. In both cases they dramatically change the relationship dynamic, so I do understand to some extent. I suppose stems from one of the mandatory sex scenes being incest related. Though the removal of agency for in the other still irked me.
3. Speaking of a mandatory sex scenes, having a second incest sex scene be required if you wish to FULLY explore a different character's route seems odd to me. Anyone who wishes to fully explore Gwen's route must have sex on the beach with their sister. This feels bad for those who wish to experience Gwen's story but are not fond of incest. I would much rather Sky's beach date to be allowed the choice between platonic / sexual to allow Gwen's route to not force incest, if desired.
I understand that all three of the above criticisms are nitpicking, with the first one being nearly impossible to fix (requiring developing large amounts of additional dialog to differentiate between sister / roommate). The game is well thought out and I am thoroughly looking forward to Chapter 2!
i'm sure you have caught on to this but just to be sure cause you seem to think there is suppose to be a distinction between roommate/landlady and sister/mother. but it's basically code in adult visual novels cause if they try and sell a game with incest things like itchi and patreon will remove their content. it's basically just the universal work around and if seen should just been assumed it's incest.
kinda in the same way an anime might have characters to go to "wacdonalds" for burger and fries. we all know what it really is but it makes it legal distinct enough to get around the drama that comes with it.
i get that's not everyone's cup tea but if you go into it not expecting that your setting your self up for unrealistic expectations.
i understand your not trying to tear this game down over it or anything and i actually haven't played this yet but i plan to soon. but it seems a bit odd that if something looks like a duck and quacks like a duck to be annoyed when it turned out to be a duck.
I appreciate the reply and I do see you point as incest is a taboo that can turn many potential customers off from purchasing. That is why I only word my criticism as an 'annoyance'. I personally enjoy My Bully is my Lover, it is one of my favorite AVNs. For me, like with everything I enjoy I (personally) have things with it I would think would make it better and merely voiced them in that comment.
Truth is, I believe the main reason roommate / landlady are coded identically as sister / mother is because of the added development time and has nothing to do with Patreon / itchi removing content. The reason I say this is just 'search' the term incest on itchi and you will find a lot of games with explicit incest content.
Having different dialog / renders for sister / mother and roommate / landlady could dramatically increase the word count, which would increase development / testing time. The realistic solution is how MBML (and most other AVNs) implements it and just has a relationship option with identical dialog / renders and calls it a day. For me this observation / criticism isn't exclusive to MBM as I am annoyed, but understanding when it is in any AVN (not just MBML) with this functionality.
yeah i got the feeling it wasn't a deal breaker or anything and you are right that if they could they would have dialogue for both but it's too much work. but i have been around the block enough times to know it is a whole legal thing about putting incest in.
granted i don't know why itchi and patreon don't use an equal hand for all things like that but i have seen a fair share of them either be deleted from the platform or have to edit the game in such a way that their is enough ambiguity. a lot even do it just to not take any risks at all cause it's an easy addition at the start and cuts off any drama.
most that have issues like that will tend to use an "unofficial" patch that weirdly lines up perfectly since they already have attention on them.
kind of in the same way you might see react channels on youtube using the legal 10 minutes of a show but still fighting strikes all the time but only for certain properties.
i even took a quick peek on their rules and guidelines for adult content just to be sure yes depicting incest is one of them at least for patreon anyway.
i'm sure the author has no issue if you would rather them not be incest and being able to pick that but that being one of the fetishes they are going for it has to be pretty explicit in the dialog and they can't have it both ways.
all i'm saying is i have yet to see a game where where they use the set your roommate's and landlady's role and not have the dialog be clear it's incest. so going in without those expectations is wishful thinking on your part.
i feel like i'm going a bit overboard with this cause at the end of the day i don't think anyone is truly upset here. just thought it was odd that you would think that meant other wise and wanted to clear that up.
It's all good and perhaps in my original post I came on too strong and made it appear I was diametrically opposed to the game, that is definitely not the case.
The only game I can think of that has dialog toggle is Genex Love, where it lets you change your relationship status and clarify whether or not you are blood related (and dialog changes based on blood relation toggle). But you are correct that is the exception, almost all AVN use Roommate / Landlady as a mere legal work around.
Regardless I appreciate your clarification on Itch / Patreon's legal terms regarding incest. That was something I was not aware of.
this is gonna be a bit off topic but i thought your profile pick was an owl till i clicked the notification and saw it up close lol.
and nah you were not coming off too strong or anything it was just me being ocd when i saw something that seemed odd to me.
also slightly off topic genex love is a game i had my eye on but wasn't sure if i should try, do you recommend that? i can't remember from where but i got the impression you can miss content if your not on the ball about it and i hate having to be on the ball or do homework to make sure i don't miss anything but the page it had did looks interesting.
I have just finished playing the game . I really enjoyed the story and character developments 90% of the time up to the final episode where i did not like the idea of Deities resurrection. The final episode looks like a sci-fi game rather than Slice Of Life.
The game is still amazing though. My favourite girls are Aine and Gwen. Since the title of the game involve Aine, Gwen and Emma so i hope both Aine and Gwen also get their own solo ending like Emma's.
Can't wait for next chapter. Donation has been made to support NiiChan and the game
When I open the game I just get a white screen and the game is not responding
Originally, I played adult games because I had sexual desire, but this game made me feel love. it was full of love, and the sex scene was just a better embellishment. after playing this game, I became more restrained because I saw the meaning of life. Thank you to the author. I was very touched during the playing. When I have the financial ability after graduation, I will certainly sponsor the author.
is this diddy?
Who sicae characters appears in mbml?
Why don't you play it yourself instead of fishing out for spoliers?
Dear author, may I ask when the next version of this game will be updated?
The author will focus on the sicae first
Ok honest opinion here but story is kinda bad. I remember playing this game a year ago but couldn't remember why I dropped it. It took me about 10 minuets of playing to remind me why. The choices you make are irrelevant. It's not a choice based game, it's a story that, regardless of how you want it to go, forces you to take one path.
*slight spoilers ahead*
WHY I HATE THIS GAME
-Forces you to forgive your bully
-Forces you to accept your characters privacy being stepped on by Emma
-Choices don't really matter
To top it off, the MC just accepts everything he is told...like he is a robot rather than a human with emotions. Like who just forgives and forgets this crap.
Anyways, this is a story (or more specifically MC) you will either hate or love and I'm, unfortunately, am on the hating side.
p.s. -never finished the game so don't know if it actually gets good (which is why first impressions are EVERYTHING)
Nonsense opinion
It doesn't force you to forgive her, you can literally not be with the girl but that way you don't get any scenes with her and it doesn't make sense to forgive her either, if she didn't bully the MC then her mother who is a mafia would have hurt her friend and the MC himself in a worse way.
“Choices don't matter” You can literally even have an ending with Emma and decide which girl to keep, what did you expect DnD?
I understand that it is your opinion as you put it but it still seems too over the top to me to get to the point of “hate”.
If you want freedom of decisions play DnD, pathfinder or Baldurs Gate, if you want visual novel I only know Superhuman which has like 60 endings.
I probably should have been a bit more specific when I said "Choices don't really matter". What I mean was that the choices solely revolved around the potential relationships rather then the story (from what I played). Based on the comments the MC was making when he first reunited with the bully, it seemed like he wasn't really upset with her which confused and irritated me. I didn't want to forgive her but it felt like the game was telling and kind of forcing you to do so. Also, Emma invading you privacy by investigating you behind your back and then convincing the "Landlady" for them to live there for her own selfish reasons made me mad, not because of what she did, but how the MC reacted to it. It was like he was alright with her doing that. The game just kept throwing irritating scenario after irritating scenario at me, and considering I was playing to have fun and not just spend the entire playthrough angry, I decided to drop it. Like I mentioned before, I never beat the game or got too far to begin with so maybe it got better, but first impressions are everything and I got irritated enough to not care for what the future had.
Usually I play Adult games for horny and sexy moments, and yes there is A LOT in this one. But all I feel is love, pure love, which I have been seeking for and wonder if I may be lucky enough to have one of these angles in my arms. What I read from this stroy is saving and forgiveness, my friend you shuld write some novels, these game making things are slowing you down LOL. For a moment I felt like reading a masterpiece, you are incredable. However, too many information especially at the beginning could be a little bit sleepy, so maybe some jump scares or funny moments when it happens again? Oh and this is the first time I have seen taking harem as a noticeable topic and focus on how the girls would feel and react to this, you made a perfect solution for them to accept it, impressive.
