Yep 
without going into specifics, same old same old insane seven thoughts. like they honestly should have seen a therapist years ago. I was hoping, praying, for any other RO’s pov to win the poll…hell I’d have even took Blake’s at this point- just to get away from the monotony of seven f*cking lawless and their rollercoaster of a mind.
Edit: I sound like such a hater lmao but I’m tired okay I want another RO to shine!
lol I’m glad it’s not just me suffering from Seven Lawless fatigue. Infamous may be one of the few IFs where the popular RO isn’t of much interest to me. Brightside though, banger POVs coming up soon. We’re so spoiled for content with this WIP.
yea I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom. Bad stuff’s been going down, but plenty of good too. It’s an uphill battle. I can’t wait for the moment when my MC gets to feel the satisfaction of finally winning after trekking through both the good and the bad (even if I may have to cheat to get to that point ha).
Idk if this has been cleared up already but is Dakota’s appearance near the end supposed to be abrupt? Is there a proper introduction scene that’s gonna be implemented in the rewrite or something?
There’s also “Not to sound like a broken record or anything, but…”
Having read the update three times now, I’m starting to think G may be even more difficult/ angsty than seven. So many red flags, I’m getting nervous lol. Notwithstanding the fact that he’s married (usually a non-starter for me, but for some reason this WIP allows me to get over that), but I lowkey feel like G and Blake used to be a thing? That Blake is singing those terrible but sexy lyrics to G? And the emotion between them… obvs some unresolved feelings there. ALSO, I defo feel like something is going on between G and Dakota. The clingy, limbs entangled scene, ugh. And V saying something along the lines of, “Dakota isn’t seen with us much because of the optics”. The optics? I mean… wtf? Then there is the social mediapost of G in a bed talking about the stamina of fans in Belgium? Not subtle… cringe. I just feel like Amy is throwing us red flag after red flag. Chekhov’s gun and all that. In spite of how much I adore him (and will absolutely do a G play-through), I am scared for future me/mc on this RO path. Seb is looking better and better 
.
You meet him at the party in the beginning (can even have sexy times with him), but there are a few ways to NOT meet him at the party, which I agree would make his later intro feel abrupt.
G used to have a lot of flings in the past, before he married V. So it could have been? Dakota doesn’t sound very happy to be dragged by G. And Blake is so, so bitter if MC plays with G on stage, saying G never did that with him. It wouldn’t be that surprising tbh if they had a past together, and Blake was used by G and dropped for the next guy /girl.
Totally agree, maybe it’s all in the past but with all the unresolved feelings that seem to be there with both Dakota and Blake, my red flag radar is pinging like crazy (I hypocritically say as my unresolved seven feelings are doing the same lol).
Plus, I’m slowly starting to vibe with Seb’s BDE. (Big Dad Energy… for you pervs that thought otherwise).
Agree. A whole parade of red flags. Yes, G is amazing and people will sell their organs to be near him, but I am not getting into his messy marriage. People already hate MC, I don’t need Viktor on the list. Besides 7 throwing lasers out of his eyes every time MC is nearby. Is enough.
Seb is fine… He is a dad. Likes classical music. Wears beige. Yay?
Lol I hear you, (and he does wear a blue shirt… once) but he is kind of adorkable and easy to make blush and will probably do anything for people he loves (hence taking maya on a national tour following bands he doesn’t even like). The worse the MC dad gets in the narrative, the more I want a Seb on MC’s side (but Orion will also do nicely in that regard, even though he feels a bit incapable of comfort in those really tough moments).
Am I the only one who enjoyed that POV? I even teared up a bit reading the first practice response. I’m not Seven’s biggest fan but that POV cemented some of my suspicions about their behavior and I’m liking them a bit more now.
About the story being all doom and gloom, I don’t agree. There are tons of rays of light, that really depends on what the reader chooses to focus on. Personally, I’m tired of the cheating allegations because they’re repeated at nauseam but we’re only on ch.2 so it is to be expected. The rest, it’s pretty okay and enjoyable. But I’m someone who likes dark stuff so yymv.
OMG, noooo! Killing my illusions and twisting the knife to boot .
Eeehhh, we have different expectations. 
For example I think there will be mutual support with the ROs. I don’t even have any complaints for the band as friends like some people here have expressed and I love them so far. Not that they’re perfect, they have their shortcomings but they feel to me like they have the MC’s back. The MC doesn’t feel to me like they’re going through this alone.
I DID. And I teared up at that same paragraph 
It became my second favorite. (Party pov is still my favorite for them) Honestly while their POVs can be draining because Seven is doing bad and I understand the “Seven fatigue” some are talking about lmao, I still enjoy them a lot.
Same, I perfectly understand the fatigue because Seven is omnipresent and I’d like more of other characters too but that pov broke me.
How can you not teared up to this:
I had to take a moment to compose myself, and when you pick the love songs option 
. I was so unwell after that pov, which is now my favourite of them.
Easy. Everytime they open their mouth and snap at my mc for just existing. 
idc what their thoughts are internally. Don’t take out all your hurt on mc as seven was also in the wrong. And quit letting your band mates enable you lmao.
Agree 100%, but it’s not that simple. I know the MC is not privy to Seven’s thought but even without that POV I still enjoyed that scene in the demo. As I said before, maybe it was because Seven’s response to the options I picked made sense to me. And yes, they’re abrasive and emotionally abusive but I’ve seen some progress in that route and I’m okay with the little we got because it’s only ch.2, even if the word count is 200k+ words.
They might not be my favourite RO but I like to understand them as a character and analyse their behaviour. They’re hurt, broken and easily ‘manipulated’ (looking at you Avina) and I want to see how they’ll evolve with and without the MC.
Ah, the durian raccoon is indeed a tsundere of the highest calibre! I knew I had a radar for those.
As they say, kino. Really helps to sell Seven as incredibly clingy and unable to let go… he really only has good moments when Avina isn’t there, doesn’t he?
And the stalking, amazing! Go ahead, Seven, become Jun! Maybe then you’ll be less of a durian raccoon.
That whole POV is so insane (positive), I CANNOT get over the fact that they listened to all of MC’s songs after they left, or how they said they wrote their songs like they were talking to THEM and wondering if they would answer. I can’t do this
I can’t resist ROs with a past history with the MC also they’re just an interesting character to me. So for now they’re my favorite together with Orion and August. Yeah, I have three favorites I can’t choose 
I learned a new word today so thank you
Well, that’s gonna be what their character arc is for, they gotta overcome the unhealthy attachment issues
