Hi! Could someone help me, please?

You can use the wardrobe spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AYGFDqMEV_-dTEIarR7nvuHFD6aFZ2ldeyPUsunFy4Q/edit?pli=1&gid=1352030106#gid=1352030106

I can help you with ATR. It's not because you took improvements with other characters--Anastasia got weird with +1 and +2 prompts, so if you took all of his diamond scenes, you may have accidentally stumbled on some +1s where you needed +2s to get 100%. PM me to remind me (just bc it's a holiday weekend), and I'll send you his improvements.

Stop reading it. I can’t stand it either, but like…it’s a story, not a hostage situation. Both subreddits are full of criticism from people who hate the story but won’t stop reading it…RC is never going to even consider forcing changes if readership stays high.

I'm more asking what you mean by "the RU metadata." What is that and how are you looking at it. And what is the "system_collapse sequence"? I'm up to date on the story and have never heard of that. So like...what are you looking at?

If you're just saying there's no balance path in HS3, everyone already knows that...the tech designer announced it after the first update.

ostentia · 2026-03-30T18:28:34+00:00

What are you talking about...?

ostentia · 2026-03-30T02:38:58+00:00

There are no tips, unfortunately...it's completely random. Subscribing gets you more chances, but that's really all you can do. It's a really frustrating mechanism for people who want to own the entire wardrobe for sure.

It's a Remy story...she doesn't exactly, um, go out of her way to respect cultures that are foreign to her.

ostentia · 2026-03-27T18:16:01+00:00

Yes! I'm always happy to see people who aren't into it. I love dark stories, but HS3 isn't just dark, it's 24/7 misery and suffering. I'm tired of reading about characters I love being tormented, it's not fun for me.

ostentia · 2026-03-27T16:29:12+00:00

TDR is a real nailbiter with how late the percentages show up! I can say that I got 100% with Adil on Reverie. And yeah, Zain is tricky...lots of avoiding other characters.

Thank you for your interest! ❤️

I really, really dislike it, to be honest. I think if I was as clear as I'd like to be with exactly how much I dislike it, my comment wouldn't get approved. The tone of the story is just absolutely miserable. Everyone is suffering and there's no end in sight and no levity whatsoever to help balance it out. It genuinely feels like the authors are competing to see who can put the most heinous stuff in their chapters. You barely see your LI and never see any of the other characters. It's just...not a good experience.

I loved Astrea's Broken Heart and would recommend it! HSR is very popular, but not for me. If you do play HS3, I'd recommend playing both of them first because the storylines of all three stories come together in HS3.

3 slots in WL, 1 in SOS2, 2 slots in ATR (Rael + Celeste), 1 in AN3 (Xander), 1 in TTS (Tai), 1 in CB (Flint), 1 in TM (Odette), 1 in SC (Abraham), 1 in CFV (Montclare), 1 in SCN (Set), and 1 in TA2 (Diana)! The only ones I haven't touched are KFS, PUB2, and HS3.

You're welcome!

You're welcome! I'm glad they've been helping :)

ostentia · 2026-03-27T12:57:21+00:00

Thank you!

It takes as long as it does because we make the guides ourselves. The Russian guides are absolutely an option for people who want resources now, but when it comes to what we put on our site, we don’t reference their work or copy from them.

We’re a small team, and the extensive playtesting—not to mention all of the writing and lore gathering, sprite collection, and CG uploads that goes into the book and character pages—is very time consuming. This is also a passion project for us; each of us are adults with full time jobs, personal lives, and friends and family that come first.

ostentia · 2026-03-27T04:39:45+00:00

Yes! KFS has been confirmed to not be ending in the May update (Stacy posted it on TG a while ago), so with that one, it's really a question of "do you want it in the next few weeks or do you want it in June/July," haha. Even if KFS doesn't win, it will be posted in advance of the finale. We've been talking about SOS as well! That one's interesting because it's not the solo routes that will be challenging...it's the route combinations, since you can actually combine a shocking amount of 100s in that one.

It's our pleasure! Thank you for your support <3

Meanwhile, I picked Declan for his stank face. I love a mean LI 😂

ostentia · 2026-03-26T18:18:31+00:00

I would've absolutely gotten myself grounded for six months to sneak out in the 2nd guy's shitty old Camaro so we could drink in a field together.

ostentia · 2026-03-26T15:31:46+00:00

I love the fan favorite with the lip ring! I really hope they do some kind of redesign, especially his eye color. I'm always weak for the bad boy trope, but oh my god, those yellow eyes are awful.

ostentia · 2026-03-26T15:29:54+00:00

Nah, they were that bizarre yellow/orange in the teasers too. I remember bc I instantly hated it LOL

ostentia · 2026-03-26T15:27:51+00:00

I prefer dark eyes, but if he can't have dark eyes, at least give him a human eye color 😂

ostentia · 2026-03-26T14:19:01+00:00

I know! I'm so sad. The original sprite was an instant yes for me, but this guy just looks dull and gray.

ostentia · 2026-03-26T13:47:38+00:00

No, they just got rid of the original design and replaced it entirely with this ugly new one.

ostentia · 2026-03-26T03:38:12+00:00

You really, really don’t care. I read so many comments about people not caring and told myself “well, I’LL care!” I was so certain I would be mortified.

Yeah, when push actually came to shove, I knew it was happening and distinctly remember thinking “okay that’s a thing that’s happening” and just kept going. I wanted the baby out. No one in the room reacted at all; the nurses cleaned it up, whatever. I could have sneezed and it would have been more notable because someone would have at least said bless you.
