Stories that left you disappointed for a reason

Yes, I agree with you on that. That's one of the things Seven did that makes me angry. Seven should have tried talking to MC first (at least the MCs who didn't vote against Seven), instead of disappearing

I am blaming it on the fact that their frontal cortex wasn't fully developed back then (tho lbr I am unsure if it is developed NOW) — I did some ish in my teens–21-ish that now make me cringe HARD.

It's Amy's job to make us suspicious of the band's intentions, but she doesn't do it.

Idk if she means to write them as nice but delulu, but I read them as creepy cult-like co-dependent bunch anyway. Imo, ppl on the set side-eyeing them for being a bit too close are kinda right.

Above all this, What i cant accept is the fact that 23-24 year olds were this immature and unprofessional. Tbh, they still are and one of them is a mother now and fortunately left. Orion\a and MC are the only thing holding this band together.

ok i could be wrong as i have read infamous and tumblr info properly long time ago but i remember mc checking up on seven after the voting, maybe multiple times, and seven internalizing what they felt. sure mc was naive to think anyone can be ok with such demotion but knowing how crazy and codependent these two were about each other in lovers route, if seven opened up about what they felt, i think the mc would have left the band along with seven (my mc would have, can't be sure about the default one). i do believe mc should have at least called out the voting and those "friends", it was very spineless behaviour. but i would like to give the benefit of the doubt because canon mc considered the band her family and knowing her biological family issues, i think it was a critical situation for the mc to be in but still it was spineless and passive. this is my personal opinion, i am glad seven internalized what they felt because i don't want mc making sacrifices like potentially leaving the band for such an immature *** (i said what i said) but yeah i don't like the band, i want her to leave the band for her sake. i don't want mc making life altering decisions for a partner internalizing issues, then exploding and saying the worst things possible (i could remember wrong about this tumblr info), ghosting for a significant time and finally, sleeping with their mutuals, which for me is the final and permanent nail in the coffin. seven breaking up with the mc is possibly the kindest thing they have done in this entire mess

Unfortunately, that's the most realistic part for me. A lot of adults still act like they're in High School and those behaviors don't change. Especially when you've been together since you're in HS and dynamics have gotten time to solidify.

I just wish Amy had already revealed the past scene where the band demotes Seven so that we can finally see wtf happened, because at this point my drunk, slutty and chill MC who didn't vote Seven out and still treats them with casual kindness, doesn't at all align with whatever they did before, and it's just disorientating.

Honestly, I reckon Amy should have just made it a linear choice that we voted for ourselves to be the lead singer alone so there wasn't so much annoying drama for MC's that didn't vote them out--and then gave us choices as to why we did it. Yes, you can say "well your MC was a people pleaser and would do anything for the band, and maybe now they don't" but that's just jumping through hoops at this point. Especially since Seven ghosted us without sitting down to discuss what happened if MC really was known to be so weak willed and let the band walk all over them (and Seven would be aware of MC's lack of spine since the two were basically suckling off of one another for sustenance). If I felt like my doormat best friend since childhood (and possible lover) was being bullied by my so called friends into trying to separate me from them, but my bf still didn't vote me out, I wouldn't let that just happen and **** our mutuals. I'd get mad and try to give them a wake up call at the very least!

To be honest, I hate this hardcoded people-pleaser personality aspect. The storyline would make just as much sense or even more with an MC who is ambitious and fame-driven and voted to demote Seven because a) they thought it was best for the band or b) they just wanted to be the lead singer. Not to mention, ambitious and fame-driven are literally already stats in the game! But no, apparently the band either didn't discuss demoting Seven at all in advance before deciding to do so on the spot, or they did discuss it but the MC somehow was the only one not aware of it. So the MC comes off as completely spineless on the one hand but also extremely stupid and ignorant.

The vote flashback was just disappointing and frankly poorly written in my opinion.
