Normally, I wouldn't say Love Live changed my life so much. It didn't have the impact other series had for me in the past, really. I started playing the game when I got my first smartphone, since I saw a couple of friends mentioning it. I'm really bad a rythm games, but I ended up becoming addicted to game after playing in my first event (a score match). Since then I've been playing non-stop! And since I got interested in seeing the songs performed, I ended up watching the anime (and crying A LOT, by the way). That was the moment I fell in love with the characters for real.

Now, all in all it's not as if Love Live changed my life or anything. But the game became actually important for me. This year was a really hard year for me, since I dropped out of college (after several years studying) and decided to start a different career. It was an incredibly hard choice for me to make, and I was really, really depressed because of it-- First, because studying something you hate is horrible in itself, and then because deciding to drop out has a lot of consequences. (Luckily, not so many economical consequences since college is free here, otherwise there's no way I would've dropped out). But LLSIF was something I could hold on to. I could have fun playing, I could focus on something by choosing to tier in several events and all that. It was a relief. The game became something like a little oasis for me, something happy I could look forward to in difficult times.

I'd say the game didn't have such an impact in my worldview or anything like that, honestly. But it helped through hard times, and because of this I'm really fond of this game. It holds a really special place for me, even though I'm probably not as devoted as other people might be!
