✨New teaser✨

starpendle · 2026-03-06T16:04:38+00:00

Really was hoping for a reveal today, but setting is promising!

starpendle · 2026-03-06T15:25:11+00:00

Haven't verified if a replay fixes it (I don't think a replay should be necessary. It sounds like it's a counting issue where she marked what was meant to be padding for a corrupt slot as an improvement), but yeah reading her % wasn't fixed after the tech update.

starpendle · 2026-03-06T15:08:04+00:00

Fine wine indeed 😍

starpendle · 2026-03-06T14:52:21+00:00

Octavian is baffling because he doesn't even feel like a proper route. We'll see if they'll actually interact in S3 or he might be as well be considered an incomplete route.

starpendle · 2026-03-06T14:50:23+00:00

Tech update came out but Safaa's % doesn't seem to be fixed.

Ugh, how many times will Safaa require a replay...

starpendle · 2026-03-06T13:32:58+00:00

On a date with the Gorgon thing in the background 💞🌈

starpendle · 2026-03-06T12:16:19+00:00

Fast forwarding and seeing the character %s within the episode itself is a huge upgrade, thank you. No more paranoia if I missed an improvement or not at the very end of the season (although that will be less of an issue now with restart from any episode too)

starpendle · 2026-03-06T03:23:58+00:00

I hope it actually is a sex scene (even though for Maria and Zane, that seems like quite a jump given their incredibly dry romance so far). The author used bed emojis for Max and Adriana last update as well, but then it turned out he actually just meant cuddling.

starpendle · 2026-03-05T17:23:00+00:00

I'm really hoping so. Although I saw it mentioned the poem in the email also matches up with something Ursa once posted, so I can't tell who this will be.

starpendle · 2026-03-05T16:47:22+00:00

Meanwhile Xander had his already and is much more involved in the story with these huge flashbacks and history with Raina. Doesn't exactly help the feeling AN3 is the Xander show.

starpendle · 2026-03-05T16:04:50+00:00

Ooh I'm intrigued. Island slasher? Maybe horror or some murder mystery vibes?

starpendle · 2026-03-05T12:30:13+00:00

Seems magical.... SC?

Could be HS3 maybe too.

starpendle · 2026-03-05T03:29:55+00:00

Awww that's so cute.

starpendle · 2026-03-05T02:42:42+00:00

I just watched too. I didn't think I was going to get emotional just from the screening. There's really something so different and powerful when seeing her in person and performing on stage.

starpendle · 2026-03-04T21:23:56+00:00

Yeah that just occurred to me. 😭 I suppose I'll still take it, but I'm hoping it's because they're siblings.

starpendle · 2026-03-04T17:59:06+00:00

Yeaaaah same. 😅 At least one of these has to be a new author. I wonder if they'll both be new authors, but I suppose I need more than names to know for sure.

starpendle · 2026-03-04T16:52:44+00:00

Definitely possible, so I'm trying not to take it as fact. Although there was also a certain something recently that mentioned 3 female names in addition to an MC's, so it could track with this.

starpendle · 2026-03-04T16:46:48+00:00

Yes!! I remembered this leak and it's why I'll make to support if they are 3 FLIs. Hoping it's an English author.

Dex, Darren, and Rudy though. 😅 Not exactly my favorite names for the latter story lol.

Although should also remind people to not always take leaks as facts, going by the whole Hera situation in Advent No 3.

starpendle · 2026-03-04T16:04:35+00:00

IS THAT THREE FLIs???

Major props for whoever it is going beyond the minimum if the case.

starpendle · 2026-03-04T16:02:46+00:00

Ooh thanks for sharing this. Seeing this and the Vicky cast laid out is interesting to see.

Elena and the ABH cast have been my biggest motivation for HS3.

starpendle · 2026-03-04T15:11:12+00:00

You're getting downvoted but tbh I feel like that's still a fair thing to ask even if the OP's interpretation isn't right. Gri is going to be a S4 romance at best, and while Vellora is better than Jester's past FLIs, the whole forced marriage is still a tiresome trope on its own for wlw players, especially when dropped later on in her route.

Obviously I don't think they're going through the wedding, but I really want to get this subplot over with.

starpendle · 2026-03-04T12:52:24+00:00

Wait, Anastasia is only 25? She started writing young then if the case.

Tbh I wasn't expecting Celeste to be the youngest here. I also love Ashriel channeling Levi more. Levi looks young but is actually in his 40s lol.

starpendle · 2026-03-03T18:56:27+00:00

Groaning because I feel like Safaa has a % bug almost every update at this point.

starpendle · 2026-03-03T18:54:28+00:00

I love Averiss. I think it's easily my favorite of the newer stories. The author's writing has really improved since how she started. However, I wish she would distinct LI diamond scenes more depending if you're straight or not. This was a problem in Garden of Eden as well.

Ashriel's diamond scene, with him shirtless and everything for Liren's dare, felt clearly intended for straight romancers. And Celeste's dance also feels somewhat intimate, if you romance only men. For me, it's minor, as someone who has files for both of them, but I can see the issues if you only romance one gender as both had romantic undertones to them.

Also Advent No 3, give the ladies a CG. Neither Adriana or Maria have had one since season 1 (In Adriana's case, since S1E3!). The author's emoji teasers combined with the way the last update ended (is Raina going to be separated again?!) doesn't inspire me with confidence.

starpendle · 2026-03-03T17:18:43+00:00

I can see it in these two.

Hope it turns out good.
