friendly reminder that when you play things matters to RC from a metrics perspective! they keep track of what gets played before DR vs what gets held for DR & how many diamonds are being spent on each story. it's a major way that they determine how successful their stories are--multiple authors have said that the best way to help them is to spend on their stories outside of DR.
sooo if you love what a story is doing and want to see more of it, try to support that story before DR.
if you're pissed at a story and want RC to make changes or stop releasing content like it, wait for DR or just drop the story entirely.
it really does make a difference! RC isn't combing through social media to see what people think, they're looking at actual hard metrics in the app. as far as that goes, if stories are getting played before DR, it means people like them. if they're getting sat on until DR, it means people don't like them.
probably a controversial take but i think "plot should be the most important factor in a story and then follows the romance" and "we shouldn't have a first kiss with an li at the end of s2/beginning of s3" are two statements that can coexist at the same time. yeah sure the app is called romance club but what's the point of having full blown romance in a story where the plot is nonsensical and barely exists. the romance won't be satisfying.
now that wtc is ending in a couple days (😢) i thought it would be a good time to re-do this poll and see if things have changed in the past year (the other poll was made in june, 2024 iirc and we were just starting s2 i believe)

once again i apologise to players who chose to remain single as there's a limit of 12 options for these polls :)
ok I'm not done with today's volume yet but 2 things to highlight already. 1) that shower scene with eren????? omg So hot, i was Not expecting that!!! i like him more and more with each ep, and i wasn't that into him at the beginning so. interesting. 2) JOYA!!!!!! i fear she might be my fave female li in a whileeee if they keep this up. i love her! she doesn't have the usual bestie vibes and personality all the fem lis had in the past few seasons. she's bold and confident and so freaking fun!!!! she's my number one as of rn (sorry eren, just when i was starting to like u...)
my only hopes for the new season is that it's as good as the last one (which wasn't That good tbh, but it was the first season i was able to finish in a whileee... maybe bc of matt) and that they give me a proper friends to lovers
"Li in Te Amo wanting to adopt a child who she indirectly traumatized, who thinks she killed his parents and goes into hysteric every time he sees her is so stupid
What's even worse is that she can't survive and not to adopt him, like why😭"
7b is so frustrating to me because of how staunchly langley refuses to commit to the themes she brought up. the underage girl who nearly got sa'd getting an explosive reaction from the rosewood boys (james tracking him down and punching him, logan being horrified) being a tool to prop them up and show just how good they are, as compared to other men in the same demographic. meanwhile, the locker room talk they engage in, how they view women, james' entire existence and all he stands for are brushed off as... what? nothing?
giving up the integrity of your story and catering to lipless, white men fans is nothing new to be disappointed over but ignoring how locker room talk and microaggressions and stereotypes aren't harmless, but rather prop up rape culture and eventually land up there is almost a betrayal to the young girls whose stories she tried to voice through the character of jaynie
babying men old enough to know better (logan being upset about what happened and having an option to have jaynie comfort him? hello? you're 18 this isn't your intro to feminism), making jaynie bootlick them, giving them a poor baby backstory (jasper posting nonconsensual videos of girls online bc he wanted to be useful? are you fucking kidding me), putting their problems over the lives of women being ruined, the senseless demonization of the female characters, gender essentialism, and worst of all: acknowledging that same sex institutions are built on classism and racism and sustained on rape culture and still having jaynie defend it all to service rabid, mindless fans of anything male and white... fucking disgraceful
