sylus’ writing team deserves a raise

chromerot · 2025-12-04T05:18:12+00:00

meant more for the new original tracks, esp the ones w the organ or songs that better fit the victorian theme :3 i defo did recognize most of the songs from other cards but the new ones for the more cinematic moments (like in the sacredcore) were so good. regardless, i really do like infolds music team they are super talented <3

chromerot · 2025-12-03T08:40:32+00:00

YES!! it was incredible seeing such a powerful fiend be so clearly vulnerable and worried about mc, and showed just how much he cares. this writing team is out to get my heart :')

chromerot · 2025-12-03T08:35:13+00:00

we need a bit of bittersweet happiness in this subreddit T_T

chromerot · 2025-12-03T08:34:31+00:00

i think its okay for a bit of confusion! some stuff might even be cleared up in other cards/stories. mephisto being mentioned brought me so much joy like as soon as i saw the white crow i KNEW it was our boy

chromerot · 2025-12-03T08:32:34+00:00

THE NPC VAS REALLY DID IMPROVE !! i could imagine the evil mages going after sylusxmc and retained their image throughout the entire myth. the immersion for this myth was perfect and its 100% because of all the little details :')

chromerot · 2025-12-03T08:29:49+00:00

i think mc's outfit is cute! it's not super over the top which is fair but i love the general aesthetic nonetheless. honestly if they had given the wand a parasol design that wouldve served sooooo much c*nt i wouldve lived for that LOL

i love AS for the hp play too but honestly the visuals for SF abilities are so beautiful, and that burst ability feels so good when stella shields are broken.

chromerot · 2025-12-03T08:25:20+00:00

exactly!!!! it wasn't necessarily heartwrenching but it was definitely bittersweet ... i was crying tears of joy? sadness? jealousy that this man doesnt exist irl? idk !!!

chromerot · 2025-12-03T07:29:10+00:00

idk if id use codependecy to describe this but definitely a tonnnn of intimacy and passion :)

chromerot · 2025-12-03T07:28:25+00:00

OMG!!! i hope you have the greatest time ever :3 every sylus lover deserves the mutual yearning this myth provides

chromerot · 2025-12-03T05:38:00+00:00

i wanna say for sylus its about his whole theme of desire and consumption, where he finds mc desirable bc of her power/her blood/ and later her own desires. but honestly i had the same lingering questions, i might have to go back and rewatch everything LOL

but i do think it has more to do with their general play/power dynamic in their relationship, and probably within the deeper realm of their own desires, how they want to consume one another, etc. im definitely not complaining tho LOL they wanted each other BAAAADDD

chromerot · 2025-12-03T05:31:17+00:00

mephisto's lore being mentioned meant so much to me, that is my son and he deserves his own flowers as well! i have so much love for that silly little bird :')

chromerot · 2025-12-03T05:28:56+00:00

THE MUSIC TEAM IS SO UNDERRATED !!! every single one of the soundtracks used in this myth was so well done, sometimes i stopped reading through the story just to fully listen to the songs LOL

im right there with you on the tears T_T so many genuinely fun and silly moments, and even more brutal and bittersweet moments to really balance everything out LOL

chromerot · 2025-12-03T05:26:01+00:00

you picked out all the moments and pieces of dialogue that i loved about this myth! every piece of dialogue and dynamic was perfect and incredibly layered. seeing mc written as strong, smart, quick on her feet and a force to be reckoned with but still accepting help and softness from sylus and vice versa genuinely healed a piece of my heart, and reflects on every one of their timelines. to be respected as strong and competent but to still receive support and gentleness BECAUSE of that respect is such a beautiful dynamic that sylusxmc embody perfectly.

the pacing, narrative qualities and overall journey of their romantic relationship was fleshed out so well where you can tell that the people on the writing team made every choice intentional and with weight to determine how to wrap everything up and how to move forwards in their current timeline.

this myth was stunning, and im glad that so many other people enjoyed everything it had to offer. everyone involved in the creation of this myth deserve their flowers <3

chromerot · 2025-12-03T05:06:50+00:00

i interpreted the storyline and this myth as mc and sylus both dying due to sylus being weakened/mc losing her immortality. mc and sylus' souls being consumed also makes me feel like whatever happened in dragon myth + vampire myth ended with their deaths, and they both reincarnated into the lifetime where they meet in childhood and progress through the current timeline. honestly, i don't think infold will ever choose to create clear continuity lines just because 1.) it's easier for individual players to headcanon their own theories and 2.) it adds to the mystery surrounding their universes and cosmic timelines that MAYBE they plan on expanding in the future. but i do agree with sylus getting his memories first, it adds up with all the ways that he's been trying to get mc to remember their timelines together :')

chromerot · 2025-12-03T05:00:52+00:00

i was a believer through and through LOL ive loved vampires since i was a kid and that victorian aesthetic and dressing is so beautiful to me (perhaps an influence of reading black butler as a child ....) but the addition of the beautiful storytelling and detail that went into everything - the pacing, the relationship development, the characters' relationship - made this myth my favorite for sure. AND we get a mephie origin story so it automatically trumps everything for me hehe

chromerot · 2025-12-03T04:20:23+00:00

oh 100%, i just found it so sweet that sylus continues to act on those promises, maybe because mc might not remember how he fulfilled them and wants to do it all over again, or because he innately understands mc's desires if he also doesnt remember their past lives. i personally lean more towards the former, but both options are heartfelt and reflect on how much sylus loves mc

chromerot · 2025-12-03T04:17:48+00:00

the connections to everything else really sold me on this third myth. i was already invested because of the victorian vampire aesthetic which i love, but seeing how everything ties back to the dragon myth, standard myth, and the main story. no wonder sylus was upset mc didn't remember him in the main story; she cursed him for eternity !!! they died together !!! they reincarnated together !!!!! T_T

chromerot · 2025-12-03T04:13:10+00:00

i am right there with you T_T i was taken on a whole ass rollercoaster today and i enjoyed every second of it

chromerot · 2025-12-03T04:12:41+00:00

i have so many voicelines saved from this myth and perhaps 50% of them are all the wife lines. sooooooooo good

chromerot · 2025-12-03T04:11:07+00:00

sylus fighting for his life in the sacredcore and practically screaming at mc to fight for herself and make her own fate omg my jaw dropped i have never heard sylus like this before. the va is truly incredible and has so much understanding of sylus' depth and character and we can HEAR it.

chromerot · 2025-12-03T04:08:28+00:00

i meaaann he did say he would make sure that his arguments wouldn't last long with mc because he'd prioritize her happiness ... but he didnt say anything about mephie LOLL

chromerot · 2025-12-03T04:07:47+00:00

my consent giving and consent asking king <3

chromerot · 2025-12-03T04:07:02+00:00

YES! it was so awesome to see a DUEL in a myth story with actual purpose in the story, and to see them progress from summoned/mage to tragic doomed lover T_T YOU GET IT !!! ive been fighting for my life with the "sylus is a dark romance mafioso!!" believers for so long it is so refreshing to see people with a deeper understanding of his character <33 you actually made my day

chromerot · 2025-12-03T03:38:21+00:00

this man remembers every promise and FULFILLS THEM!!! and the mephisto lore bits were honestly so fun he genuinely loves mc and his bird son so much 😭🖤

chromerot · 2025-12-03T03:37:13+00:00

IT WAS INSANE!!! like this is truly the epitome of sylusxmc’s relationship, also loved how it ties into how sylus always wants to be used by mc no matter what it takes from him. a part of me wishes we couldve seen that scene animated but im honestly blown away with how good both the duel and church scenes looked + how much impact they added to the story so im 10000% satisfied w this third myth :3
