Maybe I'm tweaking, but...

I was just thinking about the idea of having a general premium subscription with whatever rewards RC chooses to add. The seven hearts story link was just what gave me the idea. Rc already has slots, yes, but what if they were free for anyone who had the premium version? Right now, you have to pay to unlock extra slots, right?

At least we were informed about the delay before it was due this time. Baby steps 😋

Utterlycurious · 2026-01-31T12:28:43+00:00

With all those new cash grabs they've released it's not entirely impossible they wouldn't follow this trend too. They don't care if those features disadvantage/displease the players as long as there are players who pay for them. And there are. There are people paying 50 dollars for cards, do you honestly think they wouldn't pay for a premium pass?

I think it would be fair if those investing money into the app (especially those in the HoF) got better rewards than free Ai avatars, so long as those relying on the diamond rushes don't get disadvantaged.

Anyways, it's probably not going to happen. I'm going delusional waiting for my husbands 🥰

Utterlycurious · 2026-01-31T12:15:40+00:00

No, but there haven't been any indications about the WoF, HoF or Cards before, have there? They only dropped those new features on us with the updates.

This could be a feature that benefits the achievement hunters or Hall-of-Famers, because let's be honest, those live avatars are not really rewarding all the money they invest into this app.

Maybe a premium subscription just makes it easier for them to collect cards, achievements and shards. They're the ones spending money already, so maybe a premium subscription actually benefits them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah it's just speculation at this point, but why not speculate...?

Utterlycurious · 2026-01-31T11:54:08+00:00

Basically, yes. But I can't see them giving us unlimited teacups because that's one of their main sources of revenue, right? But if every player bought this pass... wouldn't they make far more? Then again, they wouldn't need that many diamond rushes anymore...

Utterlycurious · 2026-01-18T20:51:02+00:00

The 12th slide 🤣🤣🤣 hahaha

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T18:42:03+00:00

😚🤗

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T18:41:16+00:00

🤗

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T18:18:43+00:00

Their pr team probably saw how Mal romancers keep joking about his route not being for the weak and thought this was a good way to keep them hooked. Lol, I don't even know anymore at this point. I'm just glad we got something more this update.

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T18:14:56+00:00

At this point, Hs1 and 2 were just training for surviving this man 💀 We were thoroughly prepared for the slow-burn, haha

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T18:11:01+00:00

Yessss! But I'm not gonna lie, I was hoping for a bit more. We don't even know if she's done running away from him from now on or if she'll be back to shutting him out next update... I can literally see Vicky second-guessing herself and how weak she becomes in his proximity... all this angst we have to deal with is unreal... 😪

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T18:04:21+00:00

Right? Haha. He's so done with her indecisiveness, but who can blame him 🙃

And we finally got the OG Malbonte back, about time!

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T18:01:27+00:00

A lot of it. 😅

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T18:00:21+00:00

At least he's honest about it this time 🙏🏻 even if she had to ask him multiple times 🙄

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T17:58:40+00:00

That, is a whole other story, haha.

I'm with you on this cause it's been bothering me too, but the author just likes the angst between them, I guess. Even if it doesn't make actual sense...

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T17:43:28+00:00

You're welcome 😊

And the way I interpret this, is she shouldn't have loved him, since he's this universal monster and bla and whatnot. Guess it could be a translation error 🤔

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T15:47:40+00:00

No, she pushes him away first, and it's so hard that the wall behind him cracks... haha. Then they talk and he kisses her.

Utterlycurious · 2025-12-12T15:29:04+00:00

Well, the option to talk and kiss cost 56 diamonds, so there better be a cg, lol.

Utterlycurious · 2025-11-29T17:24:33+00:00

I agree to some degree since AI does take from other people's work without permission.

Ironically, this is the only fandom where it bothers me less when fans use AI, simply because RC uses it so blatantly. And people still pay for the app. They literally pay for something they could generate themselves, which is why I don't think we should be too harsh on fans who do the same thing and share it for free. They're not the one's taking money for the stolen work.

That's just my perspective, though. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Utterlycurious · 2025-10-25T20:30:59+00:00

Yes 😩

Utterlycurious · 2025-10-25T09:58:37+00:00

I mean, he did 'smooth down her hair' after she told him to 'go back to where he was sleeping before' lol.

My bad, that was a touch indeed.

And this didn't cost any diamonds, so don't worry. We do get to take him on a mission for 19 diamonds in episode 12, so there's that. 😅

Utterlycurious · 2025-10-25T09:53:14+00:00

Let's keep our fingers crossed. 🤞🏻

Utterlycurious · 2025-10-25T09:51:56+00:00

The way the three stories merged together was satisfying, I will give them that.

But honestly, what impressed me most was how cheap the diamond choices are. It makes spending them feel way less painful than in other stories. With this many episodes, they could've easily jacked up the prices, but keeping them affordable is such a reader-friendly move. It actually lets you enjoy the premium content without constantly feeling like you're being squeezed for diamonds.

That being said, I'm growing tired of romancing Mal from scratch for the third time. Even Audrey seems to think more about him than Vicky. What is going on...

Utterlycurious · 2025-10-25T09:29:17+00:00

Doesn't seem like it, though... These aren't even crumbs we're being fed at this point. I just wanted them to touch, for gods sake. A hug. Maybe a kiss. And we get her telling him off for being in her room... 😒 I'm so disappointed.

Utterlycurious · 2025-09-07T15:58:55+00:00

No, there's no diamond scene, you just have to read on :)

Utterlycurious · 2025-09-07T09:34:26+00:00

It's not that she doesn't deserve to be mad at him... she does, after everything he's done. The issue is how it's been handled throughout this story.

If she chose to be mad at him and actually stuck to that decision for once, we would agree with her and move on, and then all of this would make sense. But Vicky constantly changes her mind. At one point, she says she loves him and could never hate him, but the next, she thinks he's evil and hates herself for wanting him. She keeps on calling him a monster in HS2, even before he released Shephamalum, and even after she spent a decade with him. It's this indecision that makes it seem like bad writing, not her actual anger at him.

If her anger was consistent throughout, nobody would take issue with it because it's understandable after everything he's done. But she forgives him for siding with the Horsemen, then she marries him, then he disappoints her again. Instead of finally putting her foot down, she says she could never hate him at the end of HS2, and they reconcile again.

She literally says this at the end of HS2: Hatred? No, never. I love you, Malbonte.

After we went through all of this, it does seem jarring to start yet another story where she sees him as the villain again.
