You're right about Joy being a hypocrite, but I feel like her main problem has to be her obvious savior complex. She really believes she's the one to revive humanity, and it's always made her bitter that she didn't have the power in her hands to do it without having to rely on Elvis. To her Adam is a huge opportunity because he's someone other humans already agree is a threat. She's been planning for a long time to do what Adam did to Ari, to him, but more cruel. What she wants isn't to create a new personality, but to kill his consciousness, put a mental leash around his mind, and create a puppet that answers only to her. That way she can feel more secure with her own power, while at the same time garnering praise from everyone for solving the Adam problem. Also, Joy doesn't get Aurora's help to stop Adam. She instead tries to cover some of his crimes from her, because she knows that if Aurora get's involved, she'll never let Joy do something she considers incredibly inhumane to Adam's body. And she'll instead suggest imprisoning Adam and making him reflect on his actions.
Someone as powerful as GM mc appearing out of nowhere one day with a valid vendetta against Adam puts a wrench in all she's been planning for months. She's currently in a desperate state, and willing to do anything to stop you from destroying Adam's body. Joy called Elvis in after watching GM mc fight 2 consecutive fights that she felt should've drained them, the problem is that she hasn't been able to fully grasp what exactly GM mc is capable of, and she's still judging their strength and growth by God class standard.

These are the real reasons she keeps getting in your way and giving her talks about humanity.
Also, I could give you that option, but it might be pretty disappointing to you, cause as long as Joy finally recognizes your overwhelming abilities, and sees no other way to make it out alive from targeting you, she's willing to let go off Elvis even if you kill him, and she'll try to get on your good side after convincing herself Elvis dying instead of her was going to benefit their network and humanity in the long run.

As for the inconsistencies, I'm trying to get them sorted when I can. I feel the next time I focus solely on God mode I might be able to sort them.
Brother I frankly am looking forward to god mode's completion, for that alone I will buy it.
I frankly only care about eldritch and god mode but those 2 seem well written so far, keep it up bro.

Apparently being told ROs d*ck size isn't enough anymore for these "people" (pretty sure they're not, no, not with how they act). Why whywhywhywhy??? Like why? Seriously why?? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Anyway, who wants some free bleach? 🙂

At least the author is as freaky as their fans.

Now on stories that left you di**appointed for a reason:

.- I did not empty Patreon's returns on ROs arousals, author claims, after foot-long commissioned arousals flood their Tumblr posts.
.- Cyberpunk 2077 successor, IF will have pivotal scene changes based on prologue's genitalia customization.
.- They were sending a message, author claims, after waking up with arousals tatted all over back.

Not sure if I'm disappointed or excited at this point, all those arousals hanging around, and I still can't get the one with the pronounced fractal-like pattern of veins my OC would require to overcome his repressed trauma, at this pace I'll have to cryogenize myself :cry:

Ah, what a good, wholesome, responsible use of money and free-will ☺️
99% of the time it’s endless talk about poly s*x and the ROs’ d*cks, and 1% actually writing something for the IF. If we can even call a couple of vague half-sentences an “update.”
And of course, let’s not forget the paid Patreon, which is basically just an extension of the never-ending, universal discussion about the ROs’ anatomy, which, naturally, is extremely vital to the lore of the story!

They’re nothing more and nothing less than the natural apprentice of our legendary Abyssal author, who recently rose from their decades-old sarcophagus to bless us with a two-page “update,” plus some paid Patreon posts about characters you’ve never even seen. Oh, and Sneak Peeks of future chapters you’ll probably only get to read in the next decade!

The truth is, the real fools are us. Making money has never been this easy. All we need to do is write a prologue and a couple of half-chapters, launch a Patreon, and then turn Tumblr into a deep philosophical discussion about the ROs’ genitals. And, to top it all off, disappear for the next five years without posting a single update.

I can't with this sh*t, like why would anyone want to have multiple intercourse(s?) and romantic ties with multiple people? That sounds gross and mentally damaging, sorry not sorry 😭

Oh right there's this recent IF called Bloodline, it's pretty good except the part where we can have a bloody-f*cking-affair (the bloody is not literal, the f*cking though? Not much of an affair without it 😬) with the MC's boss who's married btw. And of course readers are thirsting over this predatory, ick personified boss very much not real but real character because everything is fine as long as it's fictional 💀 (and with good looking characters)

Part of me believes (No, I'm pretty sure) that most of these people asking about poly routes and poly s*x aren’t actually polyamorous. They just like reading about the MC hooking up with every possible RO and dating them all. Since they don’t want to choose one, and they’ve got this big fetish about seeing the ROs with each other, they go for the poly route. And when there isn’t one, they keep asking all the time if it’s possible to shove one in somehow.

I don’t really have huge problems with poly routes, as long as I can avoid anything related to them and still play a monogamous romance route without issues. The problem is that even if you go strictly for monogamy and avoid every single hint of a poly route, the ROs still act like they’re about to jump each other in front of you. It ends up feeling like they’re basically undressing each other with their eyes, and the only reason they don’t go further is because the MC is there. And to make things worse, when you check the author’s Tumblr, every single ask is about the poly route, which at that point feels like the most canon one for the ROs.

Honestly, I avoid any IF that has too many poly routes, and I always look for the ones with none or maybe just one. Which is getting really difficult, because apparently poly routes and ROs crushing on each other are everywhere right now.

I read Bloodline recently and I actually thought it was interesting, it got me curious. I’ll be keeping up with it for now, I just really hope it doesn’t fall into the same problem I mentioned above. Because if there’s one thing this IF doesn’t lack, it’s poly routes.

I don’t know, I actually like when our MC’s are given the option to make flawed choices. I always pick the affair options if given because I like being messy. It’s even better if there’s an option to be conflicted about it.

The Nightmarket. God this one is sooo disappointing because I really like the world, the concept, and the possible storyline but it's spoiled by the ROs, especially Bella (the obvious protagonist) and Milo (do I even have to explain?) 😠 Even Hazel can't save this one. And everyone in The Nightmarket is polyamorous (f*cking hose I swear to G)

I still think the update of the abyssal is shorter than some older version i read. So double disappointed.
At least community college is back, so that’s good. I don’t even remember the story, it was one of the first I read.
You just didn’t understand the whole strategic complexity behind this update and its 2 pages of words. Don’t worry, you’ll get it all in the next update and its 300 flashbacks.

Mark your calendar for a decade from now ✍️

The thing that I dislike the most about the Night Market tbh is that it is very clear that the author dgaf about the MC. Also somehow the author managed to make every single RO offputting to me, and I usually can stomach at least one per IF.
I can't with this sh*t, like why would anyone want to have multiple intercourse(s?) and romantic ties with multiple people?
I actually don't mind polys when it's clear that everyone is into everyone and it's not just MC intruding on two people who have history with each other. And, idk, for some settings that actually would make sense, e.g. historical settings with harems and such. As long as it's optional, I don't really care. I guess it depends on whether you play your MC as self-insert\someone you relate to, or if you RP your MC as someone who might not always share your attitude or strengths\weaknesses'.

Hmm... I've just read the update for Press Play and I have to say this here because somewhere else I feel like I'm gonna be judged lol I love Press Play, I love the story, the writing, the characters but.... I hate this obsession the author has with Stevie! She and Angel are our best friends but it's as if Angel doesn't exist most of the time for the other characters. Playing as a gay guy trying to romance Lincoln and he's always praising her (why not praise Angel too? He's nice and cute), even in our alone time he just had the need to say something like "why don't you text Stevie you're with me, she's so beautiful and nice" Ok, I get it, she's nice and beautiful and perfect and whatever, but can everyone stop talking about her or praising her for five seconds? I just want some alone time with my chosen RO! I get she's the writers favorite but OMG it gets tiring! I actually like her character but sometimes I wish I could be mean to her just because of this favoritism!

Also I think the problem is the poly routes the author is making, they said they're working on the Lin/Stevie/MC right now so I guess this obsession of Lincoln with her is because of that, which is annoying for someone who's playing a MC very much interested in him like me (a very much gay MC to make it even more unconfortable) or someone who's only into monogamy (also like me) but whatever. I guess I have to try Angel's and Zima's routes next to see if they're obsessed with her too lol

Talking about polyamory, I'm totally ok with people who's into it, it makes me unconfortable (for personal reasons) but to each their own, so I'm happy if they're happy but I guess this IF is gonna have too much of it too, there's even a poly route with every RO involved, all four of them plus MC, and I just don't get that, but whatever. Not to mention all the other poly variations too! Too many poly routes in my opinion and if I'm being honest.

Anyway, sorry for my big rant, I just shared more than I wish at first lol, I just want to say again, I really love this IF but the Stevie favoritism... Nope, I hate it!

Yeah, same here. I’m playing a gay MC too, but luckily (or maybe not) my interest is in Angel, not Lincoln. It’s been a while since I played, but I don’t remember Angel talking about Stevie that much. Maybe once or twice, but definitely not constantly. Or maybe they did and I just blocked it out of my memory so I wouldn’t get annoyed lol. But considering the last time I checked the author’s Tumblr she (I'm assuming it's her) mentioned planning a Stevie/Angel/MC poly route, I’m not sure how long that’s gonna stay true. Wouldn’t be surprised if in the next updates Angel just turns into Stevie’s second hype man. If one wasn’t enough, now there’ll be two.

The author always says she doesn’t like answering too many RO questions because she doesn’t want the IF to just be about romance, and fair enough, the story has bigger themes. But when you look at the actual romance questions, it’s always about Stevie. Sometimes Zima, but mostly Stevie. So yeah, the favoritism is impossible to ignore. She says it’s not there, but come on, it’s pretty obvious.

As for poly routes, I've said everything I think before, but I'll say it again: authors try to do both monogamous and poly options for the same RO, but when it comes to the poly they don’t really know how to make it work. So what happens? The RO basically becomes a cheerleader for the other RO, the MC turns into a third wheel, and it ends up hurting the monogamous route too. Because even if you’re just going for monogamy, you can still feel that “worship the other RO” vibe hanging around. Makes you wanna drop the RO entirely just so they can hook up already. And honestly, multiple poly routes is just overkill.

I forgot to mention Stevie is also the first RO you can have a nsfw scene and you can also already begin a relashionship with her too. 😮‍💨 You can even skip Lin's party and be alone with just her! And of course she's the one to interrupt our kiss scene with Lin! 🙄 Not to mention all the times we can praise her looks! We can even match costumes with her at the Halloween party!
Also, I forgot about that amazing song she wrote for the band. You can even be jealous because she was the one writing such amazing lyrics! :rolleyes: Did you know she's amazing and everything she does is amazing and perfect and! Ugh! Enough!! I'm pretty sure I'll start hating her deeper into the story if the author keeps with this.

Oh, I remember the whole tumblr drama about the RO's asks, it was when I stopped following her. But yeah, all the asks she answers are about the ROs (mostly Stevie) but yeah. Which is a shame since the story is very interesting and deep. I remember I asked something about the plot once but I never got an answer tho.

Yeah, that's why I almost always avoid RO with a poly route, but in this game is impossible. And also, I hate that in the New Year's countdown if you don't go after Lincoln, and don't want to kiss Angel or Stevie you have to watch the two kiss, your two bffs who've never shown interest in eachother, it's awkward and yeah, not for me. But you're right about everything, that's why Ortega from Fallen Hero is one of my favorite RO, at least he's too into MC to pay attention to the other RO (even tho you can enter a poly with him and one of the others), it's also nice he always choses you over the puppet when you confront him about it.

Anyway, maybe I'll just switch RO and go for Zima (he's really interesting to me) or Angel next update, it seems they're not into Stevie (at least for now), but I wonder until when. Maybe when the author starts writing their poly routes they will all be "worshiping" her too! But once again, this Stevie favoritism is such a shame because this IF is one the best being worked on right now, specially because of the deeper themes.

Reading these posts I'm actually glad I went with asexual, aromantic MC lol (there was Leland, but he's not RO so). The story is so far enjoyable for me without any romantic nonsense. We'll see what kind of dramas come later... after all the band broke up for some reasons 🥲 Stevie doesn't annoy me, but her Mary Sue vibe makes her a little bland and boring character, imo.

By the way, what do you all think about the interview format? The characters talking about what's already happened. On the one hand, it's fun to read, but on the other, I have some concerns that it will negatively impact the overall 'interactivity', I mean that we will only have insignificant choices in the game.
