Another reason I hate that infamous blew up and seven is so popular. We get a lot of people hoping on the trend trying to one up it now. I like to Roleplay on every IF I make a MC and play them a certain way, sorry but I’m not going to have an adult MC going after someone so petty and childish like they’re teenagers. I just can’t get into it I just question things too much. Not going to play an MC chasing someone playing childish games, a reason I stopped playing Wayhaven got so tired of A nonsense. Haven’t even played infamous since before the rewrites just not for me, I just like reading people fighting and complaints
I hear you. The only reason I'm playing infamous is for the choice that we can leave the band and become an independent artist, away from all the drama. It's been hinted here and there and if built up properly, it can be satisfying af towards the end of the game. It baffles me that the band and ROs are all full blown adults but act like immature kids. I guess it reflects the perception of music artists to the public eye.

I understand you, tumblr loves to gobble this tropes whole, rainn is the ex who still not over you and L is the detached "i will never get in a relationship" who falls in love, this stuff is all about being so desirable that you bend the unbendable people.
this is the trope for all ROs in this game

C is in a relationship and you can homewreck
L only does casual but you can turn them committed
A hates love but theyre soft for you
The other A is your best friend who doesnt get into relationships because their job makes them travel so no time to settle down but you can get with them
M hates your guts but you can make them love you
Rainn is Rainn

It's like the author had no idea what tropes to do so she just decided to throw in "mc is so irresistable they can seduce people that arent even interested!" in 6 different fonts lmfao. at least shes consistent

🖕 these "ROs".

Is there even an option to be uninterested in new relationships, or the author did not bother?

Rainn I understand since it was an immediate breakup, but I can't with infamous at all. It's been 3 years I believe since the breakup and you're saying MC can't have moved on? Especially after the **** Seven pulls while ghosting the MC. You have to get goosebumps and pitiying looks when Seven enters the room or if her name is uttered cuz more drama.

I can't bring myself to play gender-locked female IFs. It doesn't help that most of them focus on romance. I don't mind playing women in other games, but when it comes to rpgs and ifs, I always choose a male character

There is more variety anyway. Not to mention the number of released and WIPs compared to IFs with male MC.

Almost all gender locked male stories are focus on stereotypically masculine themes - war, city management, martial arts, combat sports. I hate it.

The only gender-locked male IFs I liked were the Infinity series and Magium (even though I hate Magium's lack of customization). Aside from those and A Study in Steampunk, most gender-locked male IFs are exactly what you mentioned, and gender locked female WIPs are mostly focused on romance or slice-of-life. Honestly gender-locking shouldn't exist. I could argue that even historically accurate WIPs about war shouldn't be gender-locked to male, there are countless female warriors throughout history (Jeanne d'Arc, Boudica). Authors should make playing as a male or female a different experience, like in I the Forgotten One where the experience is very different depending on the gender you choose. That said, if given the choice, I'll always play as a male character.

Gender locked and turn based grid combat tells me all i need to know, the concept of regency sword and sorcery is amazing but It fumbles hard on delivery
I was talking about the dialogue and the way it's written but yeah. The forced isekai plot didn't help the delivery one bit, you could toss it out and the story would actually improve a little. I understand why it's gender locked considering it's obvious inspiration but if a native English speaker like myself struggle to understand what's being communicated in the dialogue (and choices but at least you can turn that off), I pity non native speakers.
