1.) Popular route you dislike
My go to for this is Asstray (Astraeus) y’all already KNOW. This creepy asshole who’s!! Not!! Even!! Sorry!! He kidnapped MC!! And kiss her against her will!! He’s gross!! (oh but it’s fine because he’s hot) And like I just really don’t like how MC tears apart everything her mother built, everything that was so like a part of her. MC exudes Hera Agent energy, she loves it, it drives her. Its unsatisfactory for her to literally just kill that part of her.
2.) A less popular route you enjoy:
TK probably? I really loved his route, I adored the fuckin dorky bickering and the Crocodile Hinjinks Scene. (Tho I have some. Issues w the supernatural part of it tbh)
3.) A popular series you can’t get into:
I’ve read a lot of it at this point but Starship tbh.
Like in most cases the action flows alongside the romance and it’s like integral and shit but starship’s action feels like. It interrupts the romance. Especially since there’s a million scenes where they’re romancing and they’re literally interrupted by the action.
Like I cannot care about the Union and Empire at all. Also my suspension of disbelief can only go so far. Like ?? If you’re fighting against two Huge Ass enemies ?? How are you gonna fight that with your FedEx Truck that has guns taped to it? Why can’t we get armies, rebels or some shit? I mean that’s not my big beef it’s just all occurring to me now. My big beef is it’s overuse of tropes, conflict that can be so easily avoided (I’m looking at u Nova’s Route) , and goddamn heart options. (Also lacy if u wanna TALK SHIT abt progress how are THEY making progress when a new villain keeps popping up eating up their plans)
4.) a popular side character (non-LI) that you don’t like:
Gwen. Get the hell away from my sister. She was literally an assassin, a murderer. She didn’t even get a redemption arc! She was!! Physically!! Forced!!! To ally with Havenfall’s Finest™!! She doesn’t deserve Grace! And like. Other routes where she roommates with Grace, that’s Okay but tbh it only happens to fit the Status Quo and Lovestruck is starting to a find status quo’s and I don’t like it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Grace and Qwen aren’t a good couple!
5.) A plotline you’re sick of:
Jealousy(Cyprin’s and Altea’s were good tho), break ups (but like Specifically the “If MC and LI actually talked it could be avoided” type of break ups) and uhhh Kidnapping. I’m real fuckin sick of kidnapping.
6.) A route you have zero interest in reading:
Renzei and Antonio because I’m predictable. It’s just blah blah I get it , they’re edgy and only Kind Of have morals. I don’t care. I’m real salty abt Renzei specifically bc he could’ve been Cool but he’s not. Like yeah he’s hot and 🍑 and he’s funny but like 😴 What happened to the good old days of seeing the soft and sensitive side to emo boys instead of just a different side of his edgy knife.
Uhhh I’m tagging @generied and uhhhhh whoever else wants to do it
