I pretty much agree with everything you said, you do be be spitting facts fr and I don't have much more to add
I love how this thread turned into a space to vent. I havenāt touched Superstition since high school. I remember looking forward to Tuesdays for the episodic updates, but I dropped off around Season 2. I just couldnāt get into Chris's romanceāhe always felt so immature. He'd get possessive if you hooked up with someone else (even when you're not together or even heading that way), but then turn around and do the same thing himself and act like you should just deal with it.
Rahim always rubbed me the wrong wayāarrogant uptight, and constantly pushing Roe away. But weirdly, I remember the author saying that if you donāt romance them, you can push Rahim and Chris into a relationship with each other? Like, are we talking about the same stuck-up Rahim and gay-panic Chris? Then thereās Zilah. I think he wasnāt even corporealājust a voice in your head? Naggy as hell, sure, but at least he was consistently there for Roe in his own way. Sometimes he was funny, sometimes flirty, and he genuinely seemed into the MC, which gave him some points.
Now, about LorcanāI wonāt let you slander him like that! But seriously, I used to feel the same way until I found out Crowny outed his momās affair. I mean, that led to her death and his dadās imprisonmentāof course he'd be furious. Still, he canāt blame it all on them, especially since his dad was abusive. But you canāt reason with a kid processing trauma like that. I originally planned to romance Imre since he seemed into the MC, even though Nia warned us his attention might not be a good thing. I chose to ignore it, but after the latest update, I lost all interest in himāyeah, she was right. Lorcan, on the other hand, really grew on me. If youāre kind to him, he becomes this mushy tsundere mess.
As for The Night Market, I donāt remember Milo ever explicitly saying he was polyamorous or that he wouldnāt romance the MC unless they also romanced Mal. I just recall him mentioning Mal as his ex and alluding to their falling outs. Maybe I missed something since I havenāt replayed it after its full releaseāI only found out about the poly aspect through comments on Itch.
In Book 1, I actually liked Mal because he was the only one who genuinely asked the MC what they wanted to do, stood up for them, and consistently took their side. And after Milo betrayed us, I figuredāwhy not go for Mal instead? When I later found out they basically come as a package deal, it didnāt bother me much since I was already considering romancing one of them anyway.
That said, romancing only one of them while theyāre still in a relationship with each other feels awkward. And not being upfront from the start that they come as a duo? Yeahā¦ thatās a problem. Honestly, it feels like it wasnāt planned from the beginning and the author decided to go that route while wrapping up Book 1.
Personally, Iām not a big fan of poly relationships when the two ROs already have a shared past. It tends to make the MC feel like a third wheelāespecially when they start reminiscing about things the MC wasnāt there for or sharing inside jokes. But I decided to give it a try, because in Book 2, their relationship clearly still has unresolved issues, and both of them seem to care about the Night Market and you have got Mal to back you up when facing Milo again.
Milo is clearly still angsty over what he did to NM, and Malāif Iām remembering rightāhad a crush on NM back when he was still a gatekeeper. So now youāve got two fools who were in love, had a messy fallout, and fell for the same person. They get jealous of each other (especially Milo, when NM shows interest in Mal), and itās a whole thing. But yeah, if you're planning to romance just one of them, there's a good chance the NM will end up feeling sidelined and forced to play couple therapist between their boyfriend and boyfriend's boyfriend.
