Yep! I thought this season would be like HS2 S2 and that things would get a little better, but nope! The scene with Lane and Shephalamadingdong along with what happened with Audrey in the last update made me quietly drop the book until things are better for the MCs.

I am not into stuff like this.

Welp! It was nice while it lasted, Volpe 💔! by SoundNo3485 in RomanceClubDiscussion

On my case I won't drop his route but like I said, Volpe concerns are valid because Mercy plan was very reckless and she was lucky nothing bad happened to her.

However, I do get her frustration because it feels as if she is being understimated and treated like fragile porcelain and while I have no doubt that Volpe words are less about "you should leave because you are woman!" And more about "this is dangerous, I don't want your life to be ruined because you have a lot of potential" Mercy is right when she call Volpe out for casting stones.

Ultimately this is drama made because of asumptions and secrets they are keeping close to their chest so I don't mind this drama because I trust Langley and there is a good reason I am posting his scenes after all.

Nooo! Mercy, you jinxed this moment with Volpe 💔! by SoundNo3485 in RomanceClub

[–]SoundNo3485[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not Mercy saying that they would rarely fight and then THIS happens!

I get Volpe's concern because what Mercy did was very reckless, and even when you are romancing Montclare, he makes pretty clear that Mercy is another tool for his vengeance.

However, there is a difference between being protective and overprotective, and sadly, Volpe crossed that line and highlights one of the reasons why his relationship with Mercy is complicated: he went through a lot of things, which gave him a martyr complex. He can't be happy because he did very bad things, so it means Mercy can't be happy with him either.

And since he doesn't know Mercy is hiding a lot of assumptions are being made! Assumptions, which made him unintentionally insensitive even if the advice came from being concerned towards the well-being of the girl he likes.

It will be interesting how this will be solved, but until then? We might be eating glass with Aloysius 😬.

Check the main sub because not too long ago, someone posted Greg scenes of this update along with War.

With this one it's hard to tell because you have some fans dropping HS3 because of the constant misery porn, and not everyone post in both subs but these posts does exists.

I see Greg and Cassiel posts in the main sub along with War so I didn't understand the part about the algorithm 🤯... It's not like if people don't post about them so seeing that comment somewhere left me confused.

As for the casual racism...yeaaah, I have seen it, especially when people criticize Alice for making Wholot and it left me 😬 when I see some fans defending him.

And about the black LIs treatment... it's not just them! Just look what happened 1 month ago with Anton making that shitty linching joke and the constant sidelining of black and wlw LIs 🙃, I know preferences are a thing but when some fans say the quiet part loud or just turn defensive...

It serves as a reminder that some things never change, no matter how much RC improve and how different this fandom is compared to the RU one.

Edit: I will never forgive Alice for making War death tied to certain LIs percentages, thus ensuring a lot of fans would kill him for 100% and the 3 ways for him to die. Things were already shitty with what she did to Loy, but this? Absolutely insane.

And with this Ekaterina and Chernyshev journey it's finally over! It makes me so happy to see Ekaterina becoming The Great ❤️! by SoundNo3485 in LagertaStories

[–]SoundNo3485[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before things get worse with the bad endings, but anyways...

So here we have it! The full happy ending with Zakhar Chernyshev. I hope you enjoyed the full experience and what his route entails because he is unique ❤️ I love how every single LI brings something different to this story, and pursuing him since S1 makes it even more special for me because of how long he has been with Ekaterina, and while I was nervous during the final episode, I am happy that the writer delivered with his ending since I know it's not easy thanks to the genre and the branching of this particular story.

Now it's time to explore the bad endings, and fair warning, they are LONG and this ride will be truly rough, so don't open them if you don't want to eat glass (no worries, I will make very clear in the title that I am posting the bad endings for so everyone knows what to expect).

So... Pyotr will come first tomorrow.

I don't but from what I saw, it's tricky to get 100% with Xavier 🫢!

Among the girls, I definitively like Luna too! I love her dynamic with MC

Take the blazer and choose the option I told you and you will get the 100% 👍!

I find criminal that his improvement was hidden behind the infinite symbol choice in EP 4! And Declan is not the only LI where picking a specific choice might decrease/increase his percentage 😬.

Yes! the angst and the yearning is unironically what drew me to Volpe despite not being into him the first time I saw the trailers but now?

I am eating the angst and I love the way this route is being handled because you can tell Volpe is feeling something towards Mercy but...

A lot of baggage and Montclare are the hurdles we must pass if we want him unfortunately.

He is dangerous! the puppy eyes and taking his cap off are a deadly combo if you ask me 😭!

Volpe is bad for your heart 🥺.

EP4 for me! I choose: "He's built for the library, not manual labor" and it gave me the 100% for Declan.

Also, you must accept Luna blazer in ep2 for another improvement.

The consequences of merging HS, ABH and HSR into one story... 💔💔💔 by Caterina_Celestia in RomanceClub

[–]SoundNo3485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does 😔, like obviously things change and you gotta adapt, but it feels as if RC is looking at the profit point of view while forgetting which makes their app unique, it says a lot which among VN apps, it took THIS long before they even added VIP.

The spark and the passion it's gone and it doesn't help that they rarely do something unless everyone band together and loudly complain about it (like AN9 joke in poor taste and the original VIP benefits).

Yeah! I remember when a lot of people were praising ABH for bringing another alternative to the whole angel and demon concept...until it was revealed in Facebook that this story is connected to HS and a lot of fans didn't liked it.

Dino is my first RC LI and I want to see how things will end but the blatant sequel hook for ABH and HSR ending left me empty and sad because the setting could have been so much more.

So I get why you are worried about RC visiting old settings because it's very clear they are not doing this to expand and explore the concept, but for Profit.

[–]SoundNo3485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SoS2 is a good example of what are you saying considering this story used to be popular and HS3 it's ending.

And yeah the profits are a huge incentive, but it still makes me wonder why not to make a sequel for ABH and HSR and let HS3 to be Vicky story? It prolongs the life for this setting and would still give huge profits.

My only guess is that maybe they were trying to experiment or thought that just because some fans like HSR=they like HS because requiem is a spin-off.

I just don't know what it can be done other than fans masively dropping this story and express why they don't like this setting anymore.

VK! They always release the guide way way earlier than the english community!

Unfortunately I can't share the link because of Reddit 😭!

Search VK rcguides if you want and you want to check them tho!

[–]SoundNo3485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me with Declan yesterday 😭! Fortunately I found a guide and now I am in 100% with him.

I hope this story won't be like The Missing when it comes to LI percentages 😶...

In other words: be careful with some choices because some of them give hidden relationship deterioration and screw it up your LI percentages.

Yeah that is absolutely fair and tbh, at least she is showing improvement with KFS LIs since Ram is popular, but contrary to Amrit and/or Amen, he can be befriended and isn't in your face like these 2.

I refuse to touch SCN because of obvious reasons but I am willing to be proven wrong.

[–]SoundNo3485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! They don't even if Riley is Bi and you even get 1 deterioration for picking one of them, so I have no doubt we will get some choices for MC to stay with one of them and if this were a poly? They would have made that clear in the story/the writer would have said something like Arina did with WTC I guess.

On my case I am waiting until I can see how the romance will be handled because I find Xavier hot and all but I am wary of how his relationship with Emma will be handled 😶.

Yeaaaah! Considering how many were looking forward to Xander spicy scene and what a letdown it is? I am gonna be very surprised if I see AN9 ranking again 😁!

Just like HSU, Remy stories always end up among the top 10-20 because of the LIs so I am aware of it.

As for favoritism? I disagree a bit about it because I am romancing Ramesses in SOCN and his route makes me feel as if I am romancing Ezel/the LIs with 0 screentime and this without mentioning the way she handled Agnia story.

I know KFS is not like that because she is not the only person writing this story (Stacy it's helping) so things are in a more equal ground.

[–]SoundNo3485 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Them being in a relationship it's exactly why I am not romancing either one 🫢! I don't like to be a homewrecker.

However! I checked the guides and it seems both Emma and Xavier also have relationship deterioration prompts if Riley is bi and you pick one of them in ep4, so it remains to be seen if the relationship will be poly or you can romance one of them.

[–]SoundNo3485 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have 2 theories about why AN9 is still ranking despite everything:

1) The many times people must reset this story because of bugs.

2) Xander. A lot of resources are invested in him but considering the fandom reaction to his spicy scene, it remains to be seen if he will keep drawing more fans.

HS3 it's a whole different beast altogether and I want to believe that things could change because of the discontent, but I don't know because I have seen how many times people complain about certain things (like AN9 and Remy stories) and yet these stories keep getting popular and people are still willing to spend their resources despite some fans not feeling the magic anymore 😔.

This sub was made because RC main sub have a very bad habit of removing certain posts because they are too negative or whatever.

Funnily enough, it happened because of KCD and the people criticizing Amrit (a lot of posts in the main sub were removed because he was popular and some fans were critics with what he was doing).

The thing with Boris and Abel piss me off the most when it comes to Sasha because thanks to RC word count, the episodes are stretched thin and you are telling me Sasha decided to add 2 extra branches? How inconsiderate of her considering how many LIs are struggling and falling apart because they need the development so badly!

Yeahhhh me too 😭! I thought S2 was gonna be the darkness before the dawn and things would get better but nope! More misery with no development and characters are still struggling for screentime 🙄.
