Stories that left you disappointed for a reason

[f8butterfly]

I just finished beyond the mist and holy **** this was one of the worst ifs ive ever read so far.

I find it misleading that it's tagged as a VN because of the commissioned artwork. IFs can have artwork and it does not make them VNs. The same way some of these authors will release a IF with 2 to 3 player choices and or many choices but with no game play differences and label their game as an IF. That's not an IF, that's your story that people can click to continue to the next page.

C.C Hill is you????

Hey I'm different. C.C Hill doesn't finish their WIPs. I barely even start them.

Now post your demo (tba) on tumblr, start a patreon and, after a year and once you've raised some money, announce a hiatus

Here's your diploma

I wonder how many people here are lurking IF writers *stares*

Honestly, I haven't heard truer words than these in a long time

With the power of friendship, we'll make that IF!!!!

Nooo, there's no need to announce any hiatus. Just dip, never to return again

As I said, exposed in 4k Though I'm also pretty sure that kb26 or what their name was, was someone. Now, writer or just a fan, I wouldn't know
We need to form a dog search team

All the writers are here and are using the same profile pic as on their tumblr. Some have post in the leaks thread, putting on the same show as the author of Dao Ascension. But we never stopped, and they just keep writing lol

no one else remember it?

Daaaaaamn, I didn't know this little bit of info. I mean, it's not like it matters to me in the slightest, but still!

Bastard of Camelot reminds me of those mediocre manga you discover in the middle of the night. Even though they have over 200 chapters and are straight-up bad, you just keep reading out of pure curiosity and maybe a hint of masochism.

Also, I find the whole thing about being able to romance a dragon weird.

Not just romance, you can bang them too (eventually) according to the author. Why? I have no idea.

As a representative of a monster-f*cker community, I appreciate dragon ro. But by the time this story will be finished(if ever) - ill probably be long gone.

...how big are dragons supposed to be in-universe, again?
Way to devolve a potentially great retelling of a dramatic and tragic story into... whatever that power-of-friendship dragon-banging slice-of-life supposed to be.

Cuz *** sells baby!

Nono, this is the retelling
Though yeah, it's one thing to have an idea, and a whoooooole other thing to be able to make do on the said idea. That's the problem, those "authors" will have a good idea most often than not, but then the whole story will **** it up. It's truly amazing how they do that

 

[noahh]

i don't have many thoughts on BOC, i just think it will never be finished so i don't bother with it. but i am surprised the same people who hate the game being too cute and nice also hate the dragon f*cking. i think it's the most hardcore medieval part of it and should be celebrated. more ifs should take wild swings imo

I don't know, I don't think BoC does anything wild or interesting with it. I mean, if the author does, that's great. But I don't think that's going to happen.

I mean... What exactly does the dragon f-ing add to the plot lmao. And how does it make it less cute? The dragon friend is not exactly an edgy character...
also why is it the most hardcore medieval part, what did I miss in my history lessons TT

Imagine someone describing something as slop in medieval Europe. I already cringe when I see corset hate (it's just a ***).

Edit: why is b r a censored? Does women's underwear upset sensibilities in here?

I myself am very sensitive and very triggered by the object in question, so I would ask everyone to please refrain from mentioning the b-word, its synonyms and derivatives in my presence. I also ask that women refrain from utilizing such pieces when I'm in the vicinity, in respect of my situation and the boundaries I've established for my own comfort.
