Yep the mc is boring and R is very childish, I'm wondering how the stupid mc thought it was a good idea to run off and be completely dependent on fcking R was a good idea or would end well for them and the author talks about the music business like she got insider informationI agree. The author said that she didn't want a “boring” MC but so far this MC is pretty boring to me, didn't even finish the demo. Its their story, but I prefer nuance and variation and that character comes off as one note to me.

A personal pet peeve that I have is when a if I'm playing is obviously catered to specific gender or personality otherwise its extremely jarring. For examples games like tainted souls or love and leases are made for Fem Mc and if you play through the game with any other gender it just feels bizzare. Another example would be Pre Rewrite Sword of Rhivenia in which unless you're a tyrant who lops of orphans hands for stealing food with out hearing them out and being a brutal warmonger with no empathy your citizen's hate you. Rewrites awesome though props for the author for improving its vastly better then pre rewrite

As much as I enjoy POMA, this is my biggest issue with Nicky's writing. Both POMA and Jinlai are super tailored towards a male MC with a specific type of personality to the point I couldn't even get into the latter. Sad, because a lot of content is locked behind playing in that one specific way.
Uh, just in case, it's not from any game lol. It's something I wrote in like 5 min as a prompt/parody of sorts
Personally, I'm glad I get the choice, even if it's not perfect in terms of content distribution.
wasnt talking about them speaking like a nonbinary barista
just meant that for me, something like how golden rose does it is the best way. i doubt they would speak with those long *** words anyways, having in mind they barely knew how to read. or were medieval peasants just built different?tbh i guess i do prefer not understanding what they're saying rather than having people speaking like that. At least when i dont understand **** i just assume the author knows what theyre doing and wrote a good story. When they start acting like therapists, however...
Nah, medieval peasants do know how to read and write in their own language. As far as I know (I have not known far), the myth of they're all illiterate was because they don't know Latin (⌐□_□)wasnt talking about them speaking like a nonbinary barista

The biggest contender of characters acting like therapists would be The King's Hound, it is somehow worse than The Soul Stone War... there's just something so degrading about the way the MC is treated in that IF “(ノ _ <,, ) Don't get me started on the constant use of "love" and "dear"
This is the opposite side of those edgy IFs where the author straight-up does not care for the MC the way Marvel writers don't care for Spiderman (justice for my boy (╥__╥) Even a baby is not coddled as much as this. It's weird
Uh... Fields of Asphodel? It's like you came down to the Underworld for a therapy session.
Man The King's Hound is just not for me. Tbh I cant imagine most men playing that game and its perfectly fine ig. But thats not the only problem I have with the game. Like you said, the therapy sessions and how the characters keep coddling the MC.
Im like "bro stfu youre making this even worse, I feel like the new kid at a foreign school in my 5th grade". And also the forced circumstance with no autonomy. MC felt so female coded when i first played it and i played it long ago, dunno how it is now. Forcing a straight male MC into a gay marriage is not really angsty, i tried to give it a chance despite that but the game just felt so uncaring about it which made it even worse.
Maybe there has been a lot of changes since then but idk if ill try it again.
One would think being forced to fondle hairy bits of another man when your body desires only women could give a bit of anxiety,no? Oh, the things we do for
Why fondle him when you can fondle his sister
. Too bad Morgana isn't a RO. The author already took so much liberty in Arthurian legends, might as well have made Morgana an RO and arrange marriage MCs into women to her. I just checked the Tumblr and I'm wondering why I even played the game in the first place. So many things in the Tumblr screams this game is not for you yet I played it anyway. I'm genuinely wondering tho, how is it a political alliance with marriage if the marriage is between two men or two women? They can't have children and join families, the only assurance is that one or the other will be a prisoner in a foreign kingdom. This will last for only a generation after which there are no common ground. Is that enough for a political alliance?
Have to consummate the marriage to seal the alliance? She isn't a crown princess, so kids won't inherit unless Arty kicks the bucket without his children.Why fondle him when you can fondle his sister

MxM will probably use magic to sire an offspring. Maybe alliance for a lifetime would be enough even without children. Too early to tell.
I always see it recommended, but never was interested because it was an arranged marriage to a king. Almost reminds me of that other one, but the king wasn’t a romance option just took MC to prove a point or something. Wait I’m noticing a patter Twine games pmo more.Why fondle him when you can fondle his sister

No, what you said is misleading. I said alliance would be sturdier for generations if they have kids. Having kids would mean that the kids has family on both sides. If there's no kids, the alliance would only stand until MC is alive, that is for one generation only.
MC's themself is the seventh born of their house, besides why does it matter if MC's kid gets to inherit the throne or not? As long as MC's kids represent both the houses, the alliance will stand. Is the MC's house so big that they have to marry the King to establish alliance? I dont remember much so you'll have to clarify.
I just saw one of the last asks in the tumblr. The author said that Arthur would be gender selectable between a man and trans woman. This says a lot and makes it clear i would not enjoy the game. Magic is fine. I didnt know something like that was introduced. And i fail to see how alliance for one lifetime is feasible. Makes it all the more stupid to decide to marry from a rebelling house to not establish a long term alliance. Might as well have saved the political marriage card when its useful.
Its clear the game is majorly made for queer people. The author had to bend so many stuff to write the story they wanted which is not a bad thing whatsoever, but it essentially reduces the roleplayablity of the game to a selective crowd. I've read a bunch of stories which also appeals to certain crowd so im not gonna complain that the game is very queer. I dont even know why im typing all this despite knowing this lmao.
Yeah at first I read nothing about it hopped into it blind, and it was enjoyable until one of my pet peeves in IFs happened, I hate being forced and helpless in situations for a long time. Everyone acted like it was no big deal, first off it’s a weird thing to do tbh, second the mentor figure or whatever romancing him lol, after a certain point I just started skipping and selecting the most rude options like burning the room and such. Such a weird structured story how people expect MC to be happy and all that. I’ll never return to it. If I’m going to be forced into a situation I want to at least have some agency.
I hated it because the whole story basically refused to allow both the MC and myself s the reader to move on and adapt to the situation. You're just left in an endless pity party in which the story goes on like you chose all the rude and angry options. You're basically forced into 'I hate everyone and everything' like the MC is still a child and not an adult who could understand nuance. Or that there's more ways to deal with grief and anger than lashing out and being destructive.
There's little to no difference. Your time is too precious to be spent on this IF, no to mention it updates at a snail's pace ε-(ｰдｰ)
There's been a discussion for Crown of Ashes and Flames here about how the King massacred MC's entire family because he's so sad his wife (whom he looooved sosososomuch) allegedly died at the hands of MC's older sister, but then it basically became meaningless because not long after, the King began a romance with his b*tch-knight anyway (the one that was also there massacring MC's family but he's a good guy you see cause he pitied the MC ( ꐦ𝅒_𝅒) and the dead queen is forgotten just like that. It's so f*cking frustrating to read, like we have to watch this r*tarded-homicidal-bast*rd getting all smitten and lovey-dovey with another homicidal-b*stard because the author wants to insert a gay romance into the story (ꐦ○_○)
Also, MC's family is innocent. I mean, the King has killed their two sons before laying waste to the entire bloodline and stupid Mommy and Daddy did nothing! There's enough reason for MC's family to rebel and start an uprising at that point but noooooooooo
wish the King could be an RO, that would be very interesting but that's just my demon speaking, not like the author have the balls for it (¬⤙¬ )
Fair. I sort of forgot that IF exists. (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
Another annoying as hell thing that The King's Hound and Fields of Asphodel shares is the absolute butchering of mythology. I'm a fan of both Arthurian Legend and Greek mythology (and any legends/myths honestly) and I'm so disappointed in how the authors treat those myths, completely twisting them until nothing remains except for some similar names and background. When I play IFs that is made after certain mythology, I want to feel like the MC is in that mythology. I want King Arthur to be King Arthur and not some Instagram mental-health guru, and I want the Greek deities to be Greek deities ( ≖‿ ≖ ) ✧
