I'd prefer them not to be genderlocked for pretty much the same reason it's fine for something like Wayhaven to not be genderlocked: bias or no bias, having an option is better than having no option.
True. Though I think the Aura Clash reason is more so that the author probably doesn't know how to write other types of romances that aren't straight, and even then I feel like Aura Clash kinda lacks on that as well, even the supposed "Explicit" scenes aren't that explicit lol.
Man, I'm not asking for anything LGBTQ, I just want the female route to be treated the same as the male. Getting less content because you picked the wrong choice always sucks.
I never played the female route. How bad is it? Do you at least get different reactions/lines?
Depends on the story. For Aura Clash, while you do get different reactions/lines (honestly much much better than POMA in that regard) it's still very obviously tailored to a straight male audience and assumes that the reader is male with a lot of it's jokes/fan service. Some parts just feel empty playing as a female vs playing as a male eg. Character relationships especially with female characters.
POMA had some opportunity to deepen some stuff when it comes to a female protag. Xianxia in general has great potential usually for female protags. The fact that people dont expect you to be the clan leader (or in the future) now since your dad was/is such a womanizer and was THE guy apparently, so the relationship between father and daughter on that aspect could have some very cool angles. Like Maka and Spirit from Soul Eater sort of dynamic lol
I feel you, this happens to both sides, I’ve played a few games like Fields of Asphodel where there shouldn’t have been a male option to begin with.
Played it too. Also, is it just me or Fields of Asphodel is just too cramped with the texts? I literally couldn't remember character names or how they looked like after like two pages from just sheer, huge lines and convoluted stuff.
People should stop trying to retell Persephone and Demeter's story. I personally don't mind having a male option in mythology games based off of stories with goddesses but a lot of these retellings shouldn't even exist. Typically retellings of Persephone's story just make their relationship look aspirational and make Hades look sympathetic while making Demeter at fault for everything just so that they can spin the story into being smutty and full of love. I think Fields of Asphodel is devoid of the most egregious examples of this but...it's Persephone. Did we really need to retell this particular story again?
I have to admit that I’d avoided AC since it was kicked from the forums—not necessarily for the drama, but because the fem!MC felt like an afterthought and there was no interesting male romance, or moments where my MC felt like the world recognised her as a woman. However, with the latest version of AC I decided to give it a go and romanced all the men I could. Guiren was actually a surprisingly fleshed out romance I liked! And there were plenty of characters who reacted to my MC as a woman—especially with her bovine-build—and she passed a lot of checks just for being hot. The OP mean guy was more interested in my MC to the point of offering a marriage alliance, Jack stopped being flustered after enough flirting options and instead called my MC a ***** lol, and I even managed to have a little rivalry with Sakura because my MC felt like a hot girl
That's just it. idgaf if someone had more content, I had fun
I'm on the one knight stand authors patreon and I'm actually pretty hopeful I'm pretty sure the reasons the updates were taking so long is because of computer and coding problems but things have been going pretty smooth now maybe im too optimistic though
Thissss! It shouldn't have existed in the first damn place, the whole story felt it fitted female option better. I am a dude and I played as a girl, because playing as a dude felt too damn weird in the story.
You think AC is bad with how low the romance is for female MC is , at least I could recommend it to my sister... I would never recommend POMA to her because POMA is far worse than AC. At least in, AC.... The author thought of female MC to some level but in Poma, zero, I mean zero romance option for female MC unless you are counting the prince and that isn't going anywhere.I have to admit that I’d avoided AC since it was kicked from the forums—not necessarily for the drama, but because the fem!MC felt like an afterthought and there was no interesting male romance, or moments where my MC felt like the world recognised her as a woman.

It’s honestly come a long way, and while I can’t compare it to a male!MC, it was genuinely fun.
Can’t say the same for DA or PoMA though. Those both should absolutely be male-locked.
- Having less than 100k words
- Not having achievements section
- Not having RO information in stats page
- Hearts choice except 2-3 titles
- If I dislike first page I generally dislike whole game
- RO which I like most of times is not available in that gender
- Not having proper epilogue
- Not having good romance
Out of curiousity, did the author remove fMC romance options from the game? I remember there being more, but it's been a looong time since I played POMA
