Me when Leo brings up JW to my seemingly very oblivious mc. Like bro he doesn't give a shit about the teashop 😭😭😭😭😭

My mc is kinda funny af tho ngl. I love how you portray them. My mc is very extra and i love how that comes through even where choices aren't made. Ughhh idk how ima choose an RO tho at this point I'm romancing everyone 😭😭

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MC is swimming in the longest river in egypt with that conclusion! What else does a man need to do (Leo thinks, probably)

But don't worry, Leo is planning on bringing in the big gun against an old tree 🤭

Thanks! I love writing different MC's attitude, inner thought and responses based on their personalities, it's fun! Both personalities will react differently toward one thing. Like how triggerhappy MC can appreciate the extravagant gala decor (for dystopian world standard) while evenkeeled MC just thinks 'tacky'.

The fact that you and other players notice it makes it worth writing all the flavor text 🥰

And enjoy the messiness, it'll only get messier.

Learning about the suspicious route with Simon has unshackled me!!! No longer do I have to pretend to know what risk mitigation entails!

Simon: So what do you do for a living?

MC: Risk mitigator.

Simon: Oh, so interesting! What are your duties?

MC: Mitigating. Risks. Y'know, the usual. Risk here, mitigation there. Aha.

Simon: Uh huh .... *squints eyes*

"You know, there's a risk and I... kill it." MC says proudly.

hi! I'm the anon from 3 days ago back to share my thoughts on tmatm. so... can I just say Leo has me absolutely smitten? Like... I want to take this man on a date and kiss him so badly AHHHH. I love how MC recognizes it though, like, the attraction my MC has to Leo but wouldn't make a move on him (yet) because he's a part of MC's essential support system. I now feel like a mom trying to get these two together XD. Im also slightly interested in Simon/e, though. Might just make another save to play their route, despite me not liking angst. Overall, I really liked TMATM. Reading it, to me, has taught me a different perspective. I usually play as how I would in real life (so it's usually modeled by how I interact, talk, etc), but in this IF (in my opinion), it's kind of limited, because the MC's past life and personality is already set and ingrained for the story to work. So I got to see how a personality like MC's (which is pretty different from mine, I'd say.) interact and go along with the story. Okay, I think I've ranted too much now 😅 I can't wait to see more of your work, and more LeoxMC crumbs for me to munch on XD. Have a great day, Lynn!

p.s. could I be known as 🛹 anon? I might pop in once in a while here hehe.

Hi 🛹 anon!

Thank you for your kind words and I’m happy you enjoy TMATM!

And Leo is your best option for non angsty romance because he’s just who he is without any baggage. Not to say there won’t be any hiccups on his route, but it’s lesser compare to the others.

You’re right the MC’s personality is limited and locked into two styles. I hope despite the limitations, you enjoy playing with different perspectives.

And there will be more LeoxMC in the future, especially if you danced with him at the gala.

Have a great day to you too and yes, you are 🛹 anon from now on!

Jinwoo is a menace

"I'm with you." He pauses, his smile turning playful. "Or is this a subtle way of asking if I'm single?" "What? No! That's not what I meant," you immediately retort. "I was asking about your favorite activity here." Grinning, he says, "So far? This one. Right now." You avert your gaze, hoping he won't notice how flustered you are.

You shift your focus to the task at hand. It's getting harder now—he moves to your hand, adjusting your grip on the trigger. "Breathe out slowly," his voice is low in your ear. "Squeeze it, don't jerk it." You hold your breath without meaning to, going completely still. His proximity makes it nearly impossible to focus on the target. "Breathe," he reminds you, his hand steady on your shoulder. You're certain he's aware of his effect on you.

I feel like he has won me over 😭like my poor shy flirt mc cant handle him she got flustered so much. I also love how he called it a "date". Also love his point of view like omg he down for us. Also at the end yikes... i was like eh like i felt/heard it in my soul.

lol so i think right now he going to be my first romance option. 😅

I'm happy you enjoy his route!

Jinwoo is definitely going to have a blast with shy flirt MC. He likes seeing their reaction, so expect more shenanigans from him in the future. He'll tease them so much, it's a miracle MC can still function.

He's being wholesome at the festival with the community. I need to remind people who he is in his POV, lol.

Funny story: normally, Leo would be 100% my type as a RO! However, I have a nephew named Leo so I can't romance your Leo 🙈

Lol, I’m so sorry for this Anon 😅

I should’ve picked less common name 😂 Maybe I should mention his full government name, if that helps (he’s not a fan of it though)

So I did this bc it really how i feel with my Mc lol

😂😂😂

He’s happily derailing all of your plans with other ROs.

Initially, I was worried that he (and Padma) would get less attention because he showed up later in the story compared to the others, and everyone has been attached to the three previously introduced ROs. Nice to see that he’s making quite an impression on everyone.

I really really love your if! It's definitely become one of my favorite.

I'm really captivated by the way you write each one of your character. It's amazing how you make them alive. And this is the first time i've really liked my own mc. Like, it's not just a simple self insert character with shallow characterization. Because the more i read, the more i cared about them. And that picnic scene is adorable!!! My heart can't take it. The way mc reacts and gets confused to how this picnic works makes my heart ache for them. And the training scene with finn just the cherry on top. Everything is soo perfect in the way you describe their dynamic with each other. I can't help but see them as a disfunctional but happy family lol (if something happens to them, i will go on a rampage) . Also each one of the RO is so interesting. Jinwoo is so sexy, and his charm is starting to get to me. And potential angst with Simon just... chef's kiss😘 I think both of them are my favorites so far.

And a little bit scenario ask for you

What if, after finishing their job, MC ends up critically injured? Their legs carry them—almost on instinct—to RO’s front door. Because in that moment, RO is the only thing on their mind. Before MC can even have a second guessing themself, they passed out. What would RO’s reaction be when they find MC collapsed in front of their door, barely conscious and badly injured?

Hi @peribiru

Thank you so much for sending me this. You have no idea how much your message makes me happy 🥰

Each character has their own motivation, agenda, personality and I'm glad it gets across. There are stories with blank MC, but I don't think I can ever write it that way because I always believe MC should be the most interesting character in a story, that's why they're the Main Character.

The picnic scene became the highlight of Chapter 3 for many players. When I wrote it, I wanted to show the dynamic between them, and the scene itself serves as a breathing moment in between more fast-paced or high-stake scenes. I'm so glad you and other players like it.

Thank you for liking Jinwoo and Simon! Expect more sexy menace behavior from Jinwoo and some angst with Simon in next chapter 🤭

Unfortunately, I cannot write the scenario you asked for because something similar will happen in the story in a much later chapter, and I want the players to experience it in the story. But feel free to send me other scenarios you'd like to see!

Once again thank you so much. This message is the highlight of my day!
