What's with ITFO reader being an incest enjoyer? Legit cannot find the reason.

No... he created a Tumblr... uh-oh

Seriously, he got it right by not interacting at all. Minimal presence but maximal effort and result is the way to go. Now that he's on Tumblr (and why is it always Tumblr?) I just can't help but worry a little for a lot of things 😕

It's only time until he creates a Patreon page too (or is it already there?). Nothing wrong if he makes one tho. But I'm seeing a pattern with authors who have patreon

It’s something I noticed on Reddit and discord when I frequented there. Some IFs fan bases has a crossover with Crusader Kings fans so you’ll get some readers like this every now and then. I remember seeing it with KaE readers. Most of it is “memes and jokes”, but some of them go overboard. You’ll mostly find them in Royalty/Medieval IFs with the keep it in the family/pure bloodline “jokes” that are brought up so often it gets weird and makes you raise an eye.

I hope its just a minority of the fanbase that has a loud voice. Y'all weird af.

He did make one, but I still have a slight of hope for him, since he is proven can commit to his writing. Just the fanbase is bunch of weirdos

Don't think it'll change much, his pfp tells me that zero effort is being put in this tumblr.

Checked it out a bit, and the replies seem very frequent but also short, not like the infamous author writing pharagraphs after pharagraphs for the sake of it
 
Dang y’all, I've been away from the IF community for a few months and haven’t really had the time to read or keep up with any IFs anddd I feel like nothing's really changed😂. Silly me for thinking I’d have a nice amount of content to read. Anyway, has anyone read To Crown a King? Cause I didn’t like that one.

The description sounds pretty awful and it looks like it's another gender-locked female.

It seemed right up my ally then I checked the writer's Tumblr and realized it's gonna be misery p*rn. I like trash collecting and red flags but all these stories have are assholes with no redeeming qualities.

Oh my, I opened this thread to complain about this game. It was recommended to me because I like red flags and morally ambiguous ROs. But as it turned out, all of this author's games are just pandering to a single fetish. The main character is always a childlike, naive girl who either loves what is happening to her without understanding it, or doesn't love it but can't do anything about it anyway.

Yup, that was one of my gripes. The MC was really infantilized and it made everything 10x creepier.
 
Eh. I can handle all the infantising of the MC since she's hardcoded to be shy and has been sheltered, and shoved away into a nunnery for most of her life before being plucked out of it days before she becomes of age. It makes sense, especially since the person who comes to "save" her is basically an uncle she looked up to. But what I can't stand is the illusion of choice. You can either be: anxious, scared or terrified. Are those all synonyms of one another? Absolutely. Because each choice is only picking from levels of fear, and if you do manage to find a choice where your character isn't entirely nervous... no you didn't! Because she'll be back to being wary again and absolutely NOTHING matters, except for which romance route you go down. At that point, the author should just write a book, or a fanfiction as a Targaryen insert.

I get that but I was more so talking about the characters speaking about the MC as if they’re a child. Makes me uncomfortable. Stories just not for me 😂. I’m not a big fan of genderlocked stories with minimal choices anyway so imma pass on this one.

At least the author is very open about it.
I mean, yeah, it's both misery p o r n, and misery p o r n. To Crown A King is outright labelled as erotic horror. I'm no stranger to dark content, but these stories are too bleak even for me lol

One of them is an actual groomer, and the king is just f-ed up ten ways to Sunday.

That's the point, I think. Once again, erotic horror.

These are clearly stories meant for a very specific audience with very specific tastes.
 
I wonder about the increased number of such games with female MC only... She is often some hapless princess (or noble or villager whatever) doomed to some form of oppression. Another example - the queen's pawn.

I bloody hate it. Topics like this don't encourage me to try games with FMC at all. If there are any with a strong MC they are usually those made by lesbians for lesbians.

Gender-locked male are no better given their pitifully small numbers and the fact that they are always about war or martial arts.

My problem with this type of game, as well as the "pathetic wet cat MC" games in general, is that I dislike games that give no other option but to wallow in trauma and... wait until someone comes and saves you, I guess.
It's a personal thing, but for me, it's the opposite of empowering. Empowering, to me, is when there is an option to toughen up and, eventually, fight back. To at least try to take control. I am especially tired of the "supposed badass actually falling apart and kinda pathetic" archetype (Remember You Will Die, looking at you).
