Some of these authors lowkey be scamming. Which ironically makes it easier for people to come to places like this.
Mhmmm that's something I notice a lot. Some of these authors be gone for months at a time and only come back with a side story with 2k words. While in those months gone they still were taking patreon payments. Payments that were suppose to be for chapter updates, side content, commissions, etc.I was paying one creator +$15 for early access content for a few months and I stg every month the updates were maybe two or three pages worth, even less for the other project that was maybe like five lines of dialogue at most every update. No free extra side content either. I even checked out one of the projects recently, and even after months, all the content that had been added could be read in less than five minutes and the plot hasn't progressed at all.
Of course I understand that these authors have their own lives and I appreciate the work they put into their work. The output wasn't the problem for me. It was the price. I'm not wasting over 15 bucks for a five minute read when other authors are offering full chapters and side content every month on their patreons/kofis for less.
At least that author was actually putting out something though. Others just disappear with no warning while still taking their supporter's money and repeatedly make false promises.
About that, where is my stone cold, intimidating, war-crime loving, general with a not-so-hidden psychopathic streak for violence?The authors of medieval fantasy games have weakness to create a stories where MC is hated / a black sheep in the family / has trauma / mental problems etc. Think about these many wips where we play royal or noble...
I wish I could play MC that is "perfect princess" type and everyone loves them... And then they fall in love with sad depressive RO with trauma!
Because it's the most affordable way to make a character that is not overtly overpowered. And that is one of the very few ways to spin a digestible narrative of meaningful length and character development.The authors of medieval fantasy games have weakness to create a stories where MC is hated / a black sheep in the family / has trauma / mental problems etc. Think about these many wips where we play royal or noble...

But there are too many games where MC has trauma. This is boring already. Recently, several new WIP appeared and guess how they all start:Because it's the most affordable way to make a character that is not overtly overpowered.

Say, if you start with a character that is a 'lean, mean, fighting machine (tm)', what is there left to do? Other than for an author to keep coming up with ever increasing challenges that your MC will easily deal with? That would get boring very fast because it renders your choices weightless
And "I can fix him" trope will only carry you so far. Because the challenges for your perfect MC can be spawned easily - while there's only so much traumas one RO can carry, before you need others and that will turn your game into a psychiatric ward.
There used to be a time, when the books featuring detectives all had the same thing: no matter what case, no matter what obstacle - the MC will always overcome and not sweat a brow. For some time you are intrigued by what else an author can throw at you, but that novelty wears thin quite soon. Although it did last to a book #15 in some series, heh.But there are too many games where MC has trauma. This is boring already
IF scene is very reminiscent of fanfiction in that regard: as soon as a book is somewhat popular there will be a dozen copies written almost immediately to tag along on the wave.Recently, several new WIP appeared and guess how they all start:
MC is imprisoned..
They are tortured..
Great pain..
Blah, blah, blah...
Keyword being 'sometimes'. Have you ever watched isekai anime, where MC is so OP everything else in the new world is trivial in comparison to him?What is wrong with being overpowered? It's fun sometimes
Are they?But the authors are afraid

>muh crusader kings IFThat's why war for the west is the goat of the medievals ifs
Wait, what?? With who? I thought the only RO was that princess from the neighbouring kingdomeven has incest lmfao
Your spy master is your half sister and you can boink her, but I don't know how. If anyone knows please tell me, asking for a friendWait, what?? With who? I thought the only RO was that princess from the neighbouring kingdom
Uhm, excuse my butting in but, about the lean, mean, fighting machine™, have you ever heard of a tiny little short story, that couldn't even finish a season exactly because of those problems with power that are mentioned, because the characters were so powerful that the author couldn't think of anything to do with them, called Dragonball?Because it's the most affordable way to make a character that is not overtly overpowered.

Tell your friend, don't do any other romances, tell her that she must look at the MC while addressing him, and generally talk to her about everything and request many things. Also do remember that she's a part of the Triple Chalice.Your spy master is your half sister and you can boink her, but I don't know how. If anyone knows please tell me, asking for a friend
No the ROs are the duke's daughter, and then the three viking girls. But if you don't end up with anyone your spymaster who is also your half sister will bear you a childWait, what?? With who? I thought the only RO was that princess from the neighbouring kingdom
I couldn't get past that god awful painting style to even begin watching the trailer.Dragonball?
Funny story, you can kill and betray almost all of them, that's the only reason for me to like the series
Not a fan of “I, the Forgotten one”
You make me put up with the world’s most obnoxious set of side characters and then make me be heterosexual for some boring dude?
Unforgivable lol
But in seriousness I didn't like most of the cast they treat the Mc like complete garbage and the MC just has to deal with it and then go on a self hate inner monologue later in there room
The queen treats you like ****
Your brothers are annoying and also treat you like ****
The only family member who doesn’t is your sister but she it feels like you become her parent almost immediately after meeting her
Like I get it the MC’s entire family and life sucks please stop reminding me every 3 seconds
Game you want me to help these people making me dislike most of the characters right out the gate is not how you do it lol
Holy **** did someone ordered a long-neck beer? Look at the size of their neckshttps://honeybunny-of.itch.io/teacherslp
this game because 1. genderlocked 2. short 3. cliche 4. devs are not communicative. at all
they suddenly turned it into a paid game saying that they “deserve” the money after years of it being free. AND it was a game jam! first of all, you don’t deserve anything. that’s not how you ask for suppor… oh, and, they didn’t even change anything in the game when they made it paid. no expansion, no bonus scenes, no additional routes/endings, its still the same old, really short, genderlocked, game. and it’s so boring (no offense)
don’t pay for the game lol, you’ll be waisting your money.
I was talking in the sense that stories with powerful protagonists can have multiple episodes, videogames, or comic series without getting tedious.I couldn't get past that god awful painting style to even begin watching the trailer.
Back on topic: Keeper series.
Press 'click' to romance, little depth in RO interactions, and a pace like the author is trying to cram doughnuts with a gulp of bitter coffee running late for school.
Lot's of american trivia with little explanation for the non-american readers.
