That c*cking from the sidekick (author's favorite) reminds me a lot of the conclusion of the Lorien Legacies book series.
At least I have the movie of the first book to keep me company in the eternal darkness...
What?
These kinds of authors have to be projecting. That's multiple times ive seen RO's cheating, MC being a bum and the author's self insert character in IF's. No way its a coincidence. The unhinged ones are slowly showing themselves. Why not a harem story or something like WLGYL lmao, id pay for a good harem story. (I'm looking at you AC, make it happen.)
I searched, and the character who cucks you for no reason other than being the OC's favorite romance option (and past lover) is named Ignis, I think. It's so random, why make her cuck you? Why can't the author just have Ignis and the OC be past lovers, but she moves on with the MC?What?
It's a wonder that WIP still has people following it. My main gripe even before I knew your character would get cucked, is that you can't choose your powers. Come on, even Unsupervised lets you customize your power, and it's a half-baked game. Maybe it's just my personal opinion, but I find superstrength/flight so generic and I had hoped I'd get to choose something else.
Also, probably an unpopular opinion, but I prefer overpowered MCs, or at least ones that start weak and become the strongest. Bum/average MCs just aren't my type. Especially A Tale of Heroes where you're condemned to be a bum... and a cuck. At least it's only for one RO, but I wouldn't be surprised if the author makes their OC have a harem of all the ROs in the game, and you end up being cucked no matter who you choose.
There aren't even that many IFs with overpowered MC. This is generally seen as something cliché... And when you're pathetically weak compared to NPCs, oh what an original trope, how refreshing it is.
Duh.
And then if we want a powerful MC we get made fun of because how dare we want a power fantasy where we're capable and not constantly dragged down by the NPCs!
Like this for example: https://www.tumblr.com/god-syndicat...wers-are-very-annoying-i-hope-we?source=share
Though surprisingly the people in the comments actually call out the author and not filled with boot lickers. Now that's new.
Also, for being a side character that's not even an RO and is only there to be cucked by Dame and MC, why does he gets more asks answered than Ares??? Take a look at this. Seriously.
Also, also, considering he's the God of victory, the narrative will be flipped around instead so MC's the one being cucked. Dame sucks. Sigourney all the way.
Holy molly, that's a defensive, hostile response. Where did that come from lol? Anon finding Johnny annoying doesn't necessarily correlate with them wanting MC to be OP for a 'power fantasy.' It doesn't even mean they can't 'engage with the story.' If anything, it's the opposite, since a character emotionally resonates with anon enough for there to be a reaction. An emotional response. An opinion. (Worse than readers finding your character 'annoying' is your readers having nothing to say about your story at all whatsoever.) Annoying isn't even that negative a word, it's not as if they said 'Johnny and his powers are very annoying, you're a bad writer, and I'm not reading your IF anymore,' they only hoped there won't bee too much interaction. (Which...being, you know, an interactive fiction, players should have some choices over which characters they wish to engage with regardless.)
There's even a passive aggressive vauge-rebloggingg after this ask was published too ?!
'Don't insult the reader's intelligence' is writing 101. Good lord, I'm gonna be staying far away from this IF.
Actually a lot of Authors and even players think just because you don’t like something that happens in a story they just think you want a “power fantasy” and try to put you down that way. “ this isn’t your typical power fantasy” which is hilarious to me tbh because in the IF community that’s not a valid excuse because I think I can count on both hands the amount of active “power fantasy” games there’s way less than people realize. There’s like 10x more angst and drama IFs compared. Just because I don’t like when plot makes the MC do something dumb doesn’t mean I want them to be perfect.
You've seen irl musicians right? Probably think it's cool when they do it, but the thing is it's the farthest thing from cool even if someone famous does it.Out of topic but what's up with all music IF writers being so obnoxious? Does the fame get to them or what?
Holly cow, why does this reply sound so conceited? "Until you learn the basics of narrative" dude... Are you a famous author or what? Critically acclaimed? Lots of awards under your belt??? And even if you were, there are like x100 ways to word that same thought without coming off as an a-hole.
Also, if you want there to be conflict, why won't you be happy someone finds the character annoying lol... Or is the current zeitgeist that every single character needs to be cherished and loved or whatever
And here I realized I don't follow a single music IF author. Did something happen?
Out of topic but what's up with all music IF writers being so obnoxious? Does the fame get to them or what?
This is a safe space, you can just say Amy /j
There are three music IF authors with Tumblr as of now. Amy (Infamous), Liza (Press Play), and last but not least, Mara (Can't Save Your Love From Dying also REMEBER, YOU WILL DIE). And all of them are obnoxious c8nts in their own right. Although Mara has been obnoxious before Can't Save Your Love (why the f8ck are her titles always so extra and long), and so does Liza just not as much. I think I've posted some of the Tumblr dramas involving Liza and Mara over here somewhere, if you go back a bit you're bound to find them. Amy is... Amy, no more need to be said.
I know Amy is probably the worst of them because she's the most well known, but what'd she actually say/do? Don't feel like scrolling through that trash fic's tumblr, no offense to it's readers
I'd like someone to ELI5 for me, as well. As I said above, my impression was that the general consensus is that Infamous is the best thing to ever grace the Earth since beer, and that Amy is
What the heck do y'all mean? Of course Infamous is one the best things ever happened to us humans on Earth especially IF readers! Don't you feel that doki-doki feeling when Seven stares at you with contempt?
Someone even actually made a (permanent) tattoo just like the MC in the game just to show how much they love that masterpiece.
sarcasm aside, I automatically assume you're an idiot if you do things like this.

Yeah, I was flabbergasted when I saw this. Ultimately none of my business, but I seriously don't get what sets this game apart from others so much that people even get tattoos of itWhat the heck do y'all mean? Of course Infamous is one the best things ever happened to us humans on Earth especially IF readers! Don't you feel that doki-doki feeling when Seven stares at you with contempt?

. I like it well enough, but dang.Omg I remember seeing that tooWhat the heck do y'all mean? Of course Infamous is one the best things ever happened to us humans on Earth especially IF readers! Don't you feel that doki-doki feeling when Seven stares at you with contempt?

and how do people not call THIS weirdly possesive? I feel like this is genuinely more concerning than anyone who hates avina. People always jump at those who hate avina because it's unhealthy to be that obsessed with a character but WHAT ABOUT THIS YO. YOU SHOULDN'T BE THAT ATTACHED TO A FICTIONAL CHARACTER. but ig as @ADB446 said none of my business 
(still side eyeing hard tho)
When I saw this, my first thought was "well, at least that one is easy to cover up". The supidity of tattoing any fictional characters or media references on ones' person aside (because, duh, tastes change), if they were THAT into it, they could've at least waited until the game is finished? Like... what if your beloved as of chapter 3 out of 15 character becomes beloathed by ch 6? What if the game never gets finished like so many IFs and indies? Zero foresight.Someone even actually made a (permanent) tattoo just like the MC in the game just to show how much they love that masterpiece.
Also idk about Amy, but I would've been very weirded out by seeing this tattoo stint.
