Stories that left you disappointed for a reason

Im pretty sure she said Sebastian is going to play a bigger role but isn't he an accountant or something idk i don't mind him or his daughter from afar but him as a RO hes a bit squirrel-y for me and out of all the other options hes like last on the list Blake should have a been a main RO regardless if he has a set story or whatever it was she said about the side ROs and then there's L who's just there but not really since hes only showed up twice so far

I think he is in IT...I remember technology of some variety and works from home (sorry if I'm misremembering horribly). You also forgot E who is very forgettable. L is apparently going to have a bigger role once the cast gets to California. Also, Blake having a set story that is by default going to probably end badly is so unappealing when I think of it for too long. I'm sticking with O and Dakota for now.

Funny enough, Seb is actually the only RO that really works for me, the only one who doesn’t feel problematic. Last time I played, Vic and G still keep dragging us into their miserable marriage drama, while thinking about each other when they’re with us. O still keeps the MC at arm’s length and doesn’t seem over their ex. August kind of fades into the background, whether they’re an RO or not barely changes anything. And honestly, I’m convinced if Seb were a milf instead of a dilf, people wouldn’t dismiss him nearly as much.

Weren’t the three chapters of Love After Death supposed to be getting a rewrite ? Has that happened yet or was it abandoned ? Anyone still keeping up with Ouroboros ?

While I get what you mean, I've never had the feeling of wanting to romance Maya so I don't feel the same. Maya is also someone that MC doesn't need to know being that she just graduated from high school and is a fan of theirs and without him she'd have no reason to be there either since it is a family trip that he arranged, is paying for, and is maintaining. He's meant to fill the single dad trope among a few others and he has a set gender so I get why some wouldn't want to be with him. Blake should've been more than just a side romance and the side romance slot Blake took up should've went to Cory or someone else. I do think a character like Sebastian can fit in the game and does have a place but she just hasn't implemented him well.

I'm specifically talking about it from a technical standpoint on how their role in the story could be done better. I'm not saying that I want Maya as an RO or even that I want to romance her. Just that as a character within the confines of the plot as it's been laid out (a reality tv show competition) she has the better motivations, desires, and willingness to be involved that Sebastian (up to chapter 4 mind since I have not and probably will not read chapter 5 anytime soon) as a character does not. And would have been a more interesting choice for RO than her dad as a result.

The twist in this really peeved me off honestly the name is meaning less at this point it a stupid thing to do and just doesn't make sence with the story

The first time I played the game,

Spoiler

I knew E wasn’t actually dead. Their mother hates our guts, wouldn’t let us see them or even attend the funeral, so it didn’t seem too far fetched that she would hide their survival. I think the title is fitting since E did technically “die,” but that kind of twist is so common that I saw it coming.

Though I’ll admit, a lot of things don’t really seem to make sense. Everything feels a bit jumbled, which is why I asked if there was going to be a rewrite. I still haven’t read it, though.

See I didn't see if coming, I believe there was anothe IF or a VN around the time is was released or a couple of years before (honestly I remember seeing it but never read it). It was all about coming to terms with the lost of your partner and moving on, and I thought what a great premise for a story. So when I started reading this I was like was what a breath of fresh air the same of stuff I see on tumblr. Then when I read that that was happening, I was put off. I just don't get why we have to complicate a good story by add such a convoluted idea to it. I was confused cause, I kept thinking why? Just why?. It feels like their trying to avoid hurting anyone when the whole point is about being hurt accepting that and moving on.
