I get that drama and angst are sometimes necessary to drive the story, but when the entire IF is just nonstop drama and angst focused on the MC and everyone around them, it’s simply unbearable.
Too bad about what happened to it smh, only other reality show IF I liked was a twine one body count, was such an interesting premise with a twist I did not expect. Too bad pretty sure it was abandoned too.
POMA MC was always a jobber. They were the weakest person in the exploration team up. Stronger than regular folks but weaker than the other geniuses. As for them not being unique anymore
The getting your a55 beaten part is frustrating in and of itself, but remember it's because the MC has been stripped off of his power and still got people scared sh1tless. What really, really, makes my teeth grind and my veins pop is the two Queens. Both of them are so horrible in ways beyond what a sober mind can bear. At least in ItFO we can beat the disrespect out of Mira. Not only that, we can make her kill herself. In The Exile we can do nothing but seethe and glare at the Queens, we can't even win against the Queen Regnant in an argument! It's annoying.
Lol this is why I slightly prefer Aura Clash over POMA, even though I really liked POMA when I played it. Aura Clash's MC is way, way better and funnier. I like the fact that you can pull a Geralt and sleep with 99% of the cast.
This is why I stopped playing as a stoic MC(who, in my mind would be a badass, but in-game kept getting humiliated and beaten by everyone) and switched to a sarcastic and playful MC. Makes the scenes of him getting dogpilled less... annoying somehow. It's also weird that if you play as a certain type of MC (like stoic or rude), you can’t romance almost anyone I’m pretty sure.
Not really. I played a brutal and stoic MC and tried most of the romance and it worked. Syfyn, the fairy bard girl, the nobleman whose name I forgot, Vethna — just have to pick certain romantic choices, though I admit it takes some concentration and quicksaves to know which choices leads to romance points. A bit disappointed that the rewrite is on Twine, also the first Vethna romance scene is deleted which is tragic as it was a really fun scene with dominant MC. The scene is still in the CoG Demos version though but this one will not get an update
I'm not a fan of rewrites unless a game is REALLY bad, which, in The Exile's case it wasn't. My main objection to games being on Twine is that they're harder to cheat lol. InCOGDemos, the late Dashingdon and similar, there's console command that lets you modify stats. In Twine, there's one too, but it's a bit more annoying to deal with.
What band if? There's like 10 of them. And harrassment for what?
The new one people were discussing here, Septic Saints
Damn, just out of high school is crazy. I was fortunate enough to be mentally hardened by the time I left high school. Can't say the same for everyone. I know a lot of people who are proper adults and can't tune out the rubbish that comes out of people's mouths nowadays. Good on the author to know when somethings not up their alley. The asks would have been even more insane if the author has managed to get a few chaps in. I wonder whats the reason for such toxicity in IF space. I don't think it was this bad a few years back.
Total tinfoil hat here, but I think that an increased focus on romance and normalized inclusion of NSFW content have brought in an overlap with the NSFW games/AVNs audiences, and some of these can get... well... really really uncomfortable and toxic.
It's disappointing as hell ngl.
While no author deserves harassment, it's important to differentiate and separate the work from the author. The work can (and should) be subject to criticism, even harsh criticism, but unless the author is shady, I don’t think anyone should bash them. On the other hand, good works should be appreciated even if the author is a dick (I like Harry Potter but hate J.K. Rowling).
Author took away the one thing that kept this story interesting for me if I am being honest, mc feels like a nobody, your progress during story seems meaningless as you will get an asspull upgrade downgrade when author desires.
