lol well IMO if it's a DEVELOPMENT BLOG then posting authors' political stuff is definitely over the line. And I won't call it idolizing the author but simply professional. At least this author is honest to tell the readers that's what they gonna keep doing. So yeah, credit to that :ROFLMAO:

yup, i agree. doesn't matter whether it's indie developer/triple A one, it's only right to separate personal and development blog.

it's not about putting authors on pedestal, but people who follow the development blog expect updates about the game/if, not the author's personal rant/rambling.

and readers also have the right to stop following/supporting the authors who can't be bohered to create different blog for that.

NEW GOLDEN ROMANCE OPTION
(this author needs to stop adding new ROs and post the new chap OR the twine rewrite alrdy… stg)
New year, a new RO! I'm mostly revealing this because I'm super duper excited and can't shut up.

Background of this decision is that a human RO was always supposed to be introduced in book two, a bit to balance out the MC in a group of supernaturals. Though including this new RO would still do that, I feel like it'll be nice for the MC to have both a human on this adventure with them and someone who's their best friend (at The Everbrook, at least).

The MC will have known them for three years, and due to their similarities in lifestyle (both being rich and well-known due to their family, and working for the same organisation), they became good friends. If you're to romance them, there's are additional options to have told them in the past that you had a crush on them (which they politely rejected), or you can currently have a crush on them.

Without further ado, I introduce you to Ireland Monroe.

Random facts about Ireland:

  • Got the name 'Ireland' because their parents are celebrities and celebs are usually known for interesting name choices.
  • They were born and grew up in Nashville, Tennessee.
  • Has an iced latte obsession.
  • Monroe isn't their real surname.
  • Their mother's a model, their father's a famous CEO. So, like the MC, they're rich and well known.
  • Ireland's a huge perfectionist.
  • Still has Nashville in their heart, so don't be surprised if cowboy boots and a hat make an appearance every so often.
  • They got into criminal investigating because of their father...and some shady business. Also, because of a love for psychology and anatomy. They understand the movement of the human body exceptionally well.
  • Does not get along with K de la Renta (the found family trope will be epic)
  • Finds love and relationships difficult...
