This definitely sounds disappointing. I would go back to playing if there was a way to romance someone else for the rest of the story and maybe even switch sides to get away from those stupid vampires.

I just came across this.. and idk what to say. The more i see that blog, the more it infuriates me. Romance asks would be the last in my mind with a story premise like this. I'd expect asks to be in the variety of how MC could torture and destroy the King and his allies but no. It seems i overestimate people.
I've read the premise of that game and LOL, I can't understand why someone would want to play it. Some people just like drama at superhuman levels (mostly women, from what I've seen) so these asks are made by the same people who don't care about logic and only want angst in their stories. The more, the merrierReblog by @coeluvr · 1 image

I'Ve never picked that route, but does the cuckold route get triggered when the MC asks her to cheat on them or something

When you meet your childhood friend (who you can choose to be your ex-girlfriend), you can also choose the reason you broke up with her, one option is that you were double cucked.
Does anyone else ever feel annoyed when a story keeps introducing a new character or NPC in almost every chapter?
I recently read Love After Death. At first, I was interested in the premise—like, oh, a story about overcoming grief after losing a loved one, etc., etc.
But then most of the conflict isn’t even about that. It comes from all these other characters who keep getting introduced for seemingly no reason.
Like, the first conflict is with your dead lover’s mother. That one I kind of get—she's controlling and wants the house your dead lover apparently always paid for. But then that conflict becomes meaningless because, conveniently, the house was actually a gift from your parental figure all along.
Then there’s a new conflict involving the MC’s sibling, who gets introduced in a later chapter. Suddenly, there’s a whole new problem with the MC’s abusive family, drama with the dad, and a bunch of other siblings.
My main point is: I don’t know what the focus of the story really is. There are too many new characters bringing their own problems, which ends up overshadowing the original story about the MC and their dead lover.

Lol. I meant the War for the west chick
I think the chick from War of the West is named Herya, if you neglect her and act like an ******* she'll cheat on you (with your guards if I remember correctly) and leave.
The major problem with these characters introduced in the middle of the story is that they barely get any development and join the cast without any good reason provided by the writer. Some writers really do be fleshing out their characters, and before fully developing them, they just introduce a whole new NPC and forget about the older ones.
Magium (RIP to the writer) did a good job with this, characters who were introduced were well-written and had meaningful connections to existing ones, like Daren's knight mentor and Barry's aunt in the latest chapters.
I'm a new reader and only started getting into HG/CoG a few months ago. I was looking for some Wips to dive into and came across "A Tale of Heroes" the synopsis sounded interesting, the ros looked promising, so I thought “why not? let’s go on an adventure”
biggest regret of my CoG journey so far...
first of all, the Mc isn't really a main character. no, scratch that calling them a side character would be too generous. they're basically a glorified NPC. and not even a helpful one. I mean in most IFs or CoGs, side characters at least do something. but our Mc? nope.
the real protagonist of this story is none other than the brilliant, wonderful, ever-so-shiny: The Seeker! let’s give it up for, folks.
and to make things even worse, I decided to romance Ignis she was the ro that stood out to me the most. turns out, she’s not really a ro... she's more like the Seeker’s wife. I thought I had made a mistake or missed some choice that would unlock her route. spoiler: nope, you just get replaced by the seeker no matter what you do.
the whole thing was so frustrating and miserable, I honestly wish the adventure had just shipwrecked in the prologue.
(english isn’t my first language, so sorry in advance for any mistakes)

You literally spoke everything I wanted to say...
Would you like to share any ifs you recommend?
Features that were clearly added at the last second by the author are so funny to me. In the WIP Thicker Than you can choose your age, but it doesn't matter at all what you pick. What I find weird is that if you pick to play as an old man, you'll still be treated as a teenager and your MC will act and talk like a teenager as well. It shows what type of MC the writer had in mind.
I like Barbara Truelove's writing but the two MCs she's written somehow felt juvenile. It's not as bad on the first book but on her recent one since as you've stated we can pick the age it doesn't make sense for the older MC
This is the only cheating RO I could forgive - because it's so ambiguous, you don't even know if Barlow ever did it, you don't get some detailed scene how you caught them making out more with someone else, nothing about the people they apparently cheated with.
There's another RO in her book, in that Spice of Chef (or whatever it's called) who cheated and you get much more details how it went, which already makes me that ex ad undesirable RO.
It's not going to ever happen in any of these books but only way to forgive cheating Ro? Cheat on them back and make them watch MC with others - that's my way
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing more cheating ROs if you had the ability to cheat on them too, but that's obviously never going to happen because the people making these kind of ROs make MC a doormat, y'know, just so you can never make the assholes leave you alone because all you can do is cower.It's not going to ever happen in any of these books but only way to forgive cheating Ro? Cheat on them back and make them watch MC with others - that's my way
I think what pisses me off especially is that these ROs do not even giving a **** that they cheated and they belittle MC even when they get forgiven.
With Barlow it's a bit different because you DON'T have to pick that they cheated and they're also just very groveling to you?? been a while since i read wgyl so i dont know if that's the perfect description, but they clearly want you back despite everything.
still would never pick the option that they cheated but yeah wgyl is the only one with this trope that i can tolerate
To me, the issue is not that the ROs don’t care about hurting MC, that may be part of their personalities to be assholes (even if it's becoming an annoyingly overused trope in IFs). But the main issue is that as you said, the MC can't do anything other than cry/sob/whimper/lacrimate/weep/wail/snivel/howl/screech/yelp/yowl/yammer/whine. Not just when it comes to cheating ROs, but to ******* ROs in general. If writers made the MC be an ******* back, or beat the **** out of them, or teach them a lesson, even without violence, my complaints would be gone.
I hate the enemies-to-lovers trope so much because most ROs in this trope are Tumblr-coded assholes. ROs can be enemies without being comically annoying, quirky/stoic pieces of crap. My perfect enemies-to-lovers would be one where they might hate each other, but still respect each other and don’t resort to name-calling. A good example is Sauron x Galadriel from Rings of Power (even though this would make Tolkien roll in his grave, and that the show is the worst thing I’ve ever laid eyes on), they actually did well in that part.
I dont want revenge or some type of reverse-cheating, i Just want these pathetic motherfuckerss out of my sight, If theres something that turns me from a loyal rideordie into a emotionless block of ice is cheating/cheaters.
its one of the reassons i find ifs that reverse the roles even worse, being forced into the role of a cheater simply dont sit well with me, i already didnt had a good opinion of love and leases and the-in-betweens but that was the iceberg that sinked the ship.
