I mean, they are rewriting it now. Plus, there were changes. Writing a book, let alone a game, is not easy and much less is it something fast.
Oh I was more referring to the generalization of this problem, since pompompurrin (NOT the wholesome Pompompurrin why's this user gotta drag my boy's name like THAT? T_T) seems to be quite convinced that only male genderlocked games are like this when in reality it's just not like that, ya know? Like.... uuugh, sorry, thinking is hard I just gotta hope I got my point across
Just as there are games that are written with a female MC in mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not a big deal imo. Some men still enjoyed Wayhaven, no?
Still beats not having that option at all.
/j By not taking it too seriously (since it doesn't take itself seriously either), and focusing on stat-building to go ballistic during fights
Nah only Poma had the Russia problem and had to change it, Anon wasn’t comfortable writing non straight relationships and that’s fine, dude hardly can write a female MC route. Let Anon rock.
Probably my female friends dislike both Poma and AC only because she thinks the Female ROs are better. Well Poma they get nothing lol.
For me it's simple: If you write something, do it more or less well and listen to criticism.
Ruo? Xiwen? Sure, they don't get much romantic content, still not nothing.
What about authors who do the opposite with female-coded MCs and "dominating" male(-coded) ROs?
It's the same, I haven't said at any point that there is a difference, but we were talking about POMA, and not, for example, Wayhaven or other games of that type that also make the same mistake.
Fair enough. Tbf you did write "for male MCs", not "for certain gender MCs"
I guess that's where we disagree. I don't think that getting less romance content in a game not centered around romance is necessarily that bad, but fine, it's not the hill I want to die on.
I don't disagree with some of your points.For me it's simple: If you write something, do it more or less well and listen to criticism.
There's nothing wrong with games where you can only be a man or a woman, but if you give me the option to be one or the other, both have to be treated fairly.
It means that you don't just focus on romances for the Male MC, and don't write with him in mind alone.
Psychologically and biologically, women and men function differently, and we treat the same gender and the opposite gender differently; it's something unconscious.
No one forced the author to make it possible to play as a girl, let alone have male romances, but if they did include them, they should at least treat them fairly.
Obviously, these are things that can be fixed if the players simply tell the author and they listen and decide to do something about it.
Obviously I didn't talk about extreme changes, but that make playing enjoyable. For example, I don't like how in some revenge stories, you are not allowed to be angry or vengeful. I almost never take the more violent path of revenge, but I understand the frustration of many of not being able to do it even if it makes sense with the character you are playing.
No I get you, and I know the one your talking about Crown of Ashes and Flames. That one was a but of a disappointment nowadays cause it just felt like what I did wasn't really vengeful. It's like you said authors don't really understand about how people deal with revenge and for something like that such a deep as your whole family dying due to one person. Like you'd go full anger/revengeful like old boy or lady vengence (great movies by the way), but now they don't seem to really care and it's fallen flat, like your a passive NPC in a story about "you"
Dude he literally dropped multiple updates that were for Mei and Ai focused, do you know what that means? Female Wu Heir couldn’t play the update at all, imagine being a Patreon and being like oh yeah these next few updates aren’t for you thanks for the money tho. Hope these authors are paying you guy’s the way you’re ignoring faults and glazing like this.
Nope. That's why Aura Clash > POMA on the female MC department. Got no problem with having no/bad romance options in this genre as a female MC, but limiting content is a big annoyance. Which is 98% of the problem with playing female Wu Heir. Hell, even Dao Ascension is somehow better than POMA when it comes to female MCs and that game is riddled with pronoun errors. Ruo/MC banter is why I'm still playing, dude's as funny as Jack sometimes.
Ruo has romance content? I have the dude's relationship bar at 98% and has played every scene with him, outside a couple scenes you can read as both romantic or platonic, one of which is a POV scene, Ruo has nothing. Xiwen has more content on Ai's route than his own, and his sole date is still bugged. The only 'romance' you get as a female Wu heir is one guy who tries to marry you during side content with your cousin, and that's just a hookup scene. It's pretty much nothing.
