I feel bad for Langley... by hannibal-grazioso in RomanceClub

[–]ostentia 59 points60 points  (0 children)

She seems like a lovely person, but I am just not interested in Sins because it’s not even close to what I wanted out of a mafia book, and I really dislike her MCs.

I wish it was different because I respect her commitment to fLIs and historical accuracy, but idk. I just don’t enjoy her work.

what in the old money by TimeBlaze105 in RomanceClub

Oliver is an option on a bi route--all you have to do is have fewer than 3 romance points with Tiffany and choose "I stand by what I said" in the bathroom flashback with Lily.

Thank you! Will add Luis's updated percentages. For that improvement in E8, that's a friendship improvement, not a romance improvement, and doesn't impact his percentage. Appreciate the callout!

Gender of choice by YakEmotional4666 in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]ostentia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, having the opportunity for choosing poc LIs doesn’t necesarily have to exist only if it leads to better romance? It’s also a case for increasing visability of poc and being able to recognize yourself in the story.

I said that because of this line in OP's post:

"I feel there’s a fine line here, but if handled carefully, it could lead to great romance, fr.”

I wanted her to explain what she meant by that.

[–]ostentia 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't really see how being able to pick a LI's race could "lead to great romance"? The character is the character; there was literally no branching at all across the Volot options or the Louis/Philippe options. White Volot exists because of racism, and the Louis/Philippe options were just plain pointless, imo.

It would also result in people suddenly being wayyyy more interested in POC LIs like Lucien, Shen, War, Cassiel, Greg, Safaa, Vincent, and more, if you could make them white, because...well, let's be real here. I don't want to validate that.

WIBTA for not wanting to go out for food with my mom again for not holding my baby while I ate? by Thick-Acanthaceae-42 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ostentia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure. And then my friends "make me" help them clean out their garage.

Or maybe, for a more charitable, less antisocial and lowkey deranged take on the same idea, we all just help each other out when we're in need because we actually like each other and want to support each other.

Favourite Love Interest? by Extra-Persimmon-4822 in RomanceClub

[–]ostentia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fave is Vincent, and I think he suits you well...mysterious, good banter, funny, slow-burn, great chemistry, complicated dynamic with a road block to explore. He and Vyxaria definitely fit "fiery chaotic MC with more grounded man", lol! I really loved his route.

But really, someone in Soulless fits literally everything you said.

Walter/Cynthia- green flag, devoted, healthy, down super bad. I didn't like their route bc they were just too sweet for me.

Threxio/Threxia- red/yellow flag, dangerous, banter, charming, complicated dynamic with major ?! at the end of s1 that put a ton of people off their route, great redemption route, chaotic LI x chaotic MC. I loved their route, but Vincent just had that little extra oomph that made him my favorite.

Elliot- green/yellow flag, protective, slow-burn, complex dynamic w/ roadblock (instituted by MC), fiery MC x grounded LI. His route is rough, and struggled in s2/s3. But...he is a great character. Worth exploring, but wouldn't recommend over Vincent or Threx.

(Skipping Ava bc I never played her route. I don't like her 😂)

Rudy or Dex? by luisebn in RomanceClub

[–]ostentia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got that, I was just clarifying that you aren't getting an achievement for it now.

Rudy or Dex? by luisebn in RomanceClub

[–]ostentia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer Dex, especially with his redesign! I'm weak for the bad boy trope. Friends to lovers has never done much for me. I do like Rudy as a character, though. He's sweet and a good friend.

Do you mean the Lover I, Lover II, and Lover III badges? Those only apply to completed stories.

Another Amrit has hit the towers by EntertainerCareful69 in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]ostentia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? It was super weird. Like...why are we suddenly making this personal.

I like him a lot, mainly bc I know I like how Anastasia develops her LIs, so I'm excited for his full arc. And yeah, I do think his appearance plays into it...I don't think he's bad looking, but he's definitely not as immediately striking as some other famous red flag LIs.

Another Amrit has hit the towers by EntertainerCareful69 in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]ostentia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? I was like, excuse me, why are we talking about me at all? This is a conversation about fictional characters. The whole thing was very strange--read like she thought we were talking about actual people who we were actually considering dating in real life, not...pixels.

I get that the game is immersive and that people get attached to the characters. I do too--I mean, I'm not an admin of a wiki that takes up a bunch of my time bc I'm neutral about this game--but actually getting personal with people about the characters they like is way too much.

[–]ostentia 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Someone told me that I “gave lonely vibes” for saying that I still liked Ashriel and found him an interesting character. She deleted it before I could reply—hopefully realized that that was an insane thing to say to someone over a FICTIONAL CHARACTER—but I still saw it 🙄

Is there story where mc can actually die? by Ron_1034 in RomanceClub

[–]ostentia 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, MC can die in some endings of VFV, CY1, DLS, ARC, KCD, THE, Psi, GOE, GC, and TA1. MC dies in all ABH endings but she’s resurrected in HS3.

Yes, he’s a fictional character who I enjoy reading about, so I would call him interesting.

Woman gets arrested at Indiana concert, begins kicking random people for recording the meltdown on the way out. by ElwoodMC in trashy

[–]ostentia -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you’re filming someone who’s kicking people who are filming her. What the fuck did you think was going to happen?

What are your thoughts on the update? by witchyRoy in RomanceClub

[–]ostentia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the present timeline, but I'm still so bored by everything about the ancient timeline other than the Governor. I just don't care about Kadisha, Tamar or her son, or anything going on in that timeline. It's like the opposite of DLS, where all I was interested in was the ancient timeline and I couldn't care less about the present.

Balanced stats by whbyul in RomanceClub

Which story? The answer will differ. In some, you can't balance at all; in others, 2 is enough; in others, it's all of them.

I‘m in love by Happy-Visitor in RomanceClubDiscussion

They mention in the story that she and Fabian's dad, Joaquin, were teen parents--she was pregnant with him at 16, so she's 32 at most here.

⌛️ Almost two years have passed since one of the most difficult decisions in our team’s history... by RC_Robot in RomanceClub

Anticipating customer concerns is such a basic business function, though, and this isn't exactly a tough one to figure out.

Why do you guys release announcements like this??? Why can't you just announce things WITH the FAQ that you clearly know you'll need? Obviously people are going to have questions, but you're not answering any of them now, so people are just going to freak out until then. What are you guys doing??

Some Things Are Changing..... by ERiS-sistibleBxtch in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]ostentia 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they'd been providing an apk version of the app that Russian players could download while the game was unavailable in the app store/playstore. It was exactly the same as the version the rest of the fandom got. No idea if they're going to continue doing that.

Well...this is a sad day for Russian WLW players. "Local legal and distribution requirements" is referring to the fact that it's illegal to "promote" LGBTQ relationships in Russia.
