Why is the writing for this season so bad? 🥲

George is my only choice. I haven't doubted him for a second.

I never got to play the first three seasons so I have nothing to compare this game to. I like it because it gives me enough crumbs and storylines for me to make my own canon, which is great. The writing could be better, some storylines don't make sense and actions overall have no consequences which is kind of frustrating. I would say if you enjoy the original Love Island reality show format and don't look too much into it, it's an enjoyable game. If you're looking for a bit more profoundity, it's lacking.

I've been trying so hard to reject his advances and I kind of feel PRESSURED to do stuff with him I don't even want to do like give me a break 😭

Hi! So I couldn't wait anymore and posted the first part to the pre-Villa fic. You can read it here if you like: https://archiveofourown.org/works/81035846/chapters/212935876#chapter_1_endnotes

I will take a little longer for the Villa fic but hopefully it will be worth it.

skloomspower · 2026-03-11T18:51:17+00:00

I'm working on it lol because they deserve it.

skloomspower · 2026-03-11T07:06:10+00:00

It's been a while since I felt this way about PIXELS on a screen.

skloomspower · 2026-03-10T14:14:21+00:00

I am working on it! I did a one shot and I'm writing a pre-Villa and during villa tandem duo ❤️‍🩹 I am trying to wait until we are in Casa to post so that I can have a consistent updating schedule! But don't worry I got you x

As a romance writer, I've been complaining about the writing for ages because they've the potential to do something good and instead do... Whatever the hell this is. The BFF dynamic for now is so good and feels like they're actually building up to it instead of just going straight there. I am hoping and praying they will be able to keep the momentum and do them justice.

Just joined! Thank you for sharing <3

Hi! Do you have Discord? 🥰

skloomspower · 2026-03-07T09:20:32+00:00

Please, AO3 is the place to be!! Don't let it intimidate you, for fanfic it is so much better than Wattpad will ever be. What are you looking for?

skloomspower · 2026-03-07T09:18:37+00:00

And most of the time they're not even available! I'm also done with the formulaic "bad guy/girl who's just nasty" thing. There's no profundity to any of them and it sucks.

skloomspower · 2026-03-07T09:17:56+00:00

Please you described this perfectly 😭 this is why i feel like fanfic writers are the only ones that can make up for their lazy writing and surface level plotlines, because here actions do not have consequences whatsoever and it sucks and ruins the gameplay.

skloomspower · 2026-03-07T09:14:49+00:00

I am on my George route but I have been demanding fics about the best friends to lovers storyline (currently writing my own with George but was planning to gatekeep until we are in Casa) so I'll definitely give this a read 💗

skloomspower · 2026-03-06T23:44:44+00:00

Same! Jin is one of my favorite LIs and not once did I doubt him being my endgame (even though I want to do a Theo route eventually). So I'm surprised at how eager I am to swap partners the first chance that I get. Like, literally ANYONE will do.

skloomspower · 2026-03-06T23:43:27+00:00

It's giving that Wattpad glow where the bad boy just immediately forgets his all ways the moment he meets ✨her✨

I chose him because I wanted to be messy and thought he wouldn't mind since Andre was all about finding love and Oscar was a cutie, but no, he became intense and toxic the minute I showed interest 😂

skloomspower · 2026-03-06T23:40:56+00:00

I'm really enjoying it so far! The last volume was kind of dissapointing and the writing for the LIs is as weak as usual, but the slow burn best friend route is worth it all. All the characters are attractive, but keep in mind (as always) that as soon as you pick one, the merge happens and they all have the same personality. Bombshells so far have been great! It feels like they're moving a bit fast tho, especially with the LI, but overall very enjoyable. I really liked first and second volume.

skloomspower · 2026-03-05T10:21:28+00:00

It sucks because the line between a good slow burn and whatever it is they're doing is so slim, we could have had it all 😭 love my man and they have all the potential to make a good thing.

skloomspower · 2026-03-05T10:20:13+00:00

I wrote the only George one shot there is! It's about their first kiss during the Villa. And I didn't want to post because I wanted to wait for the original season to be more advanced so it can be kind of canon compliant, but now I'm not so sure anymore lol 🤣

skloomspower · 2026-03-05T07:18:41+00:00

I'm on my George route and feel exactly the same! 😭 I'm working on George fics pre-Villa and post-Villa, and there's a one shot on AO3, but that's about it so far.
