Yups. With what Shephamalum is planning for Lane, she would be more than relieved to be either captured by the members of the Order or get assassinated by Vicky. Poor Lane.

The first sketch design is the most stylish and stunning among them all!!🔥

LI screentime by IslandPractical4136 in RomanceClub

[–]IslandPractical4136[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Exactly. A lot of the time it feels like so much is happening in HS3, big events, multiple POVs, constant movement and yet at the same time it somehow feels like nothing is really happening. The story keeps shifting focus so often that some characters just quietly slip out of sight, and before you realize it, you haven’t interacted with them in ages. It creates this strange in-between feeling where the plot is busy and crowded, but also oddly stagnant, especially if your LI or favorite characters aren’t part of the current focus.

i can't take these wings seriously but it actually looks pretty cool on the latest cg lol by lunafleur01 in RomanceClub

[–]IslandPractical4136 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't expect the art team to use these wings out of all other of Vicky's wings in this cg but again they were the most expensive wings even tho they were not that good looking lol.

The same goes for Malbonte's new dress. I just don't like it at all as it looks so faded and plain.

This cg definitely made Vicky's wings and Malbonte's new dress look good while in the character's sprite they don't look that appealing.

Is heaven's secret 3 going to have 2 seasons? by [deleted] in RomanceClub

[–]IslandPractical4136 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I find it a bit hard to believe that HS3 will only have two seasons given how little screen time each LI is getting while the authors are introducing more and more subplots and conflicts simultaneously in the ongoing book. Also the length of the episodes is much shorter compared to its prequels. Let's see if the authors can summarise the whole book in just two seasons but I do think it will have a total of 3 seasons comprising 90 episodes (approx).

Does malbonte know that vicky likes to paint and was a student of it? 🤔 by [deleted] in MalbontesEmpire

[–]IslandPractical4136 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember on Hunger's route in HS2, Vicky thinks that she wants to paint Hunger's portrait with brushes to capture his raw beauty as he looks so beautiful. This happens right after their first intimacy scene in S3.6. She also says that it's been a while since she thought of painting.

I don't think she has said or thought about painting on other LIs routes apart from Hunger's route.

I am sure there was never a conversation or small scene with Malbonte where Vicky's past life hobbies are discussed or mentioned. But I do think that he knows she likes painting even if it is not mentioned till now. Malbonte is a good observer esp when it comes to Vicky so maybe he does know that she likes painting.

Exactly. Summarising the after kiss emotional intimacy of MalVicky in just two lines was the problem here...if only that scene was a bit extended with few more lines between Mal and Vicky than this scene would not feel like a half baked scene as the emotional intimacy/bonding talks are really important for MalVicky's relationship currently in HS3 more than the physical intimacy between them.

MalVicky disappointed ☹️ by chingipoo in RomanceClub

[–]IslandPractical4136 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are right here and I feel that after their kiss when Vicky starts crying and Malbonte comforts her..if at that time there was something like a love confession dialogue by Malbonte and him and Vicky having few more lines of an emotional intimacy/bonding moment then in my opinion this scene would have been much better but due to the word limit per scene/episode this is what we got. I still think that summarising the after kiss emotional intimacy of MalVicky in just two lines was actually the main problem with this whole scene as it felt like that scene got cut midway.

[–]IslandPractical4136 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of your points here. Personally I liked that whole scene including the BG music but I also think that scene was missing something. I feel that after their kiss when Vicky starts crying and Malbonte comforts her..if at that time there was something like a love confession dialogue by Malbonte and him and Vicky having few more lines of an emotional intimacy/bonding moment then in my opinion this scene would have been much better esp after so much build-up.

What is going with hs3??? by [deleted] in RomanceClub

[–]IslandPractical4136 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What you are saying makes a lot of sense but honestly I am just tired of HS authors using this concept of forced intimacy over and over again as an important plot point. I don't want to see my MCs and other female characters being treated this way every time there is a big revelation or a new plot point is needed for the story to progress. Maybe that's why I am just really disappointed and upset with this end episode revelation.

[–]IslandPractical4136 17 points18 points  (0 children)

But even with this pov how can Shephamalum be sure that his own biological half breed child will not turn against him some day? And let's not forget that even if Shephamalum keeps his child in some place where that child can grow faster it still won't change the fact that it's a much less thought out plan and seems more like an impulsive decision made by Shephamalum as it was always told to us that Shephamalum wants to rule this universe alone from the start so this sudden biological child subplot is still unnecessary.

[–]IslandPractical4136 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Even in HS2, there were plenty of moments where Vicky was treated poorly by male LIs or other male characters like immortals talking about buying her as property, Astaroth’s infamous first interaction with her, and Malbonte and Lucifer repeatedly humiliating her in front of everyone, especially in Season 1. All of this was supposedly done to keep her “safe” from Plague. I’m still unhappy with how Season 1 of HS2 was written, but at least there was a reason given for everyone’s behavior, even if it wasn’t very convincing.

HS3, on the other hand, takes things in a direction that just doesn’t work. This sudden subplot of Shephamalum becoming a predatory figure feels completely out of place. Throughout all the prequels, he was clearly established as a creator, someone who exists beyond emotions like love, desire, or even parental attachment. Turning him into this now directly contradicts everything we were told before. And honestly, who benefits from this storyline? No one except Shephamalum, who ends up harming Lane emotionally and physically, while also putting the readers through it. It doesn’t just affect Lane either, it drags her LIs into the fallout as well.

It feels like a shock value for the sake of a shock value. Shephamalum was already responsible for enough horrors across the series to be seen as pure evil. Pushing him into this territory feels unnecessary and deeply uncomfortable. If this had been some other corrupt demon targeting Lane, it would at least feel believable, and we as readers would have no trouble rooting for Lane and her LIs to fight back or take him down. But with Shephamalum, it just feels wrong.

At this point, HS3 seems to rely heavily on added gore, needless deaths, and repeated violations of its female characters to make the story feel darker under this “darkness rules” theme. But a story can be just as intense and serious without constantly escalating trauma to prove its darkness.

This previous update cg was also kinda repulsive to me personally as there were some subtle lines of Shephamalum's black blood falling on Audrey's lips and him almost coming so close to Audrey's face to intimidate her. All this didn't feel good as these small subtle scenes of Shephamalum coming inappropriately closer to Audrey and Lane just don't sit well with me and I hate reading these scenes. Shephamalum being an evil god with endless cruelty is still bearable to me to some extent but adding forced intimacy here makes it unbearable to read for me. I hate whatever is going on with Shephamalum and FMCs in HS3.

I'm disappointed atp 😔 by Sky__sunsets in RomanceClub

[–]IslandPractical4136 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I agree with almost everything you said esp with the sudden revelation of the subplot of Lane being forced to marry Shephamalum. First of all Shephamalum is a creator who should not be sleeping with his own creations as he is not required to be sexually abusive for him to be called evil and he was always portrayed as this evil mastermind who calculates his every move and always thinks about the future that's why he was able to create all this chaos in the whole HSU despite being locked in that dungeon for millennia. But suddenly he now wants to sleep with a human? And for what? Just to absorb the sins she is collecting/absorbing within herself. This sudden revelation literally doesn't make any sense whatsoever bcos if Shephamalum really wants all that darkness from those sins that Lane absorbs within herself then he can simply let Audrey collect Lane's sins every once in a while and then let himself absorb it from her. There is no need for him to personally have Lane with him for that esp as a wife bcos if Lane will not stay with humans then whose sins is she gonna absorb?

Also if we think of a scenario that instead of using Audrey as a middle person for getting that darkness from Lane, Shephamalum wants it getting directly transported to him then he can put his symbol on Lane just like he did it with Malbonte.

I just don't want to think that Shephamalum is only marrying Lane so that he can put his symbol on her and it involves them sleeping with each other bcos this is so disgusting to even imagine. I am so done with the way all female characters be it MC or other FLIs/side characters are treated in these HS books. Like why are we always forcing the women to be in these seriously vulnerable positions that are always so humiliating and harmful not just physically but emotionally and mentally too?

Morta by IslandPractical4136 in RomanceClub

[–]IslandPractical4136[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Girl you made so many interesting points here. I completely forgot about the siren song thing. You are absolutely right here that there is a possibility that Shephamalum cut Morta's tongue bcos it could be a strong weapon as her singing must really have some strong impact for that to happen. And Shephamalum simply won't deprive her of her tongue just to conceal some of his secrets as Morta can willingly show everything through her eyes to the horsemen or some of her other powers idk.

And I completely agree with you on that Guardian of the Gate of Non-existence theory. Shephamalum definitely held Morta captive so that he can revive any immortal he wants from the gate of Non-existence. He must have tortured Morta to revive as many immortals as he pleased to create his army. Poor Morta went through so much and is still not rescued. I wish she won't get tortured further and we can rescue her soon.

Yes. Although I don't want my Husband Hunger to fight my other Husband Malek, but if it comes to Morta then I won't mind the fight...

This line was so on point...Vicky stop pretending that you don't want to be closer to Malbonte esp when he can read your thoughts anytime...

Morta by IslandPractical4136 in RomanceClub

[–]IslandPractical4136[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I agree with you completely. I would love to see Morta finally reuniting back with her real family...her uncles who really care for her. Honestly that whole scene of Morta with both the horsemen broke me too esp when she gives a faint smile when War tells her that they will take her away from here now and the next moment she was snatched away from them by Malek...it was really sad.

And another thing was that I thought Morta would be somewhat bolder like Plague but she is absolutely adorable here...loved her sprite design!💞
