I know that feeling well.
If your confidence stat is low but humor is high and accepting, can this still plays out?
Cause that would be amazing

Thatās my goal! Confidence and accepting are unrelated stats, and affect different dialogues. The end result is that Humorous Accepting MC more appreciates the irony of being a zero in a family of Pollard 10s, and finds the joke hilarious despite being the butt of it. Whereas Confident Accepting MC is more āOh, you thought my lack of mind powers would actually bother me?? Pffft.ā

Yeah, that would actually be more interesting than confident and accepting. Like looking at the bright and side of your unfortunate condition and making jokes about rather than just accepting it confidently.
But that raised another question. What would a morbid accepting MC do?
Sorry for the barrage of questions.

Never apologize for asking questions! You guys have NO idea how excited I get over people being invested in my story. It gives me fuel to write, like spiritual caffeine.
Morbid Accepting MC will be very much āI am darkness. I can make YOU feel darkness. You think my mind is weak? Well, welcome inside, jerkā and then bombards the intruding Ment with the bleakness and/or depravity of their thoughts.
There will also be mixed profiles, that display two of the personality traits (but in a lesser extent). Chapter 1 is to establish a foundation character profile for the rest of the book which will color flavor dialogue/text (I think the first difference between Accepting vs Resentful occurs in the cookie flashback, over how MC responds to Gray having telekinesis). Although your personality will be able to shift if you consistently begin to pick different types answers.

Thank you for taking your time answering the questions, Iām glad that the questions donāt disturb you.
That sounds amazing. Canāt wait to do just that balanced with some humor.
Iām gonna be spewing dark jokes right and left.

Ooooh. Thatās actually kind of badass. Iām reminded of a bit in one of the old Doctor Who novels where supporting character #3 comes across the Doctor and an unconscious telepath. āShe wanted to know what was on my mind. Iām rather afraid I let her.ā

Donāt know if this had been reported or not, but I noticed one of the code seems weird.
There is a stats check āif Grayhate > 89ā, and if I didnāt misunderstand how the codes work, there should be no way to get it. The closest we could get 80, setted by a previous choice

Whoops! You were right. One of Grayās responses was a set 80 instead of +80. Should be fixed now, and your cookie-denied rage can now escalate to trembles.

This is such a great start! Iām very into your writing style, itās so breezy and descriptive at the same time, and has exciting hooks for all the characters already presented. I can never get enough of the superhero stories, and the character-driven ones? Yes, please!
As a fan of more established MCs, I found it a delight. I love me some upbeat characterization even in the face of such overwhelming drawback (puberty must have been merciless), so Iām very happy role-playing as one is possible here. Plus, a brother? A doting brother? Youāre spoiling me!
Just a random thought: any particular reason MC and K donāt exchange names on the ride to the school?
āHave a tissueā slayed me
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I will be eagerly looking forward to each and every upcoming update and patiently waiting to see if any of my theories stands the test of time and story development!

So,what would the opposites be?Like confident resentful,or humorous resentful,and would morbid resentful be an āI want to dieā sort of thing?
3 Likes
So, the extreme versions of each Resentful personality:
Morbid Resentful = āLife is cruel and unyeilding. Let me write a darkly tormented poem about my emotions that I then rip to shreds because itās not good enough, nothing I do is ever good enough.ā
Humorous Resentful = āLet me joke about my depression and buried resentment to hide my tears. Oh, Iām sorry, did my joke hurt your feelings? Well, my feelings are dead.ā
Confident Resentful = āTHIS IS FREAKING UNFAIR. F*** you, you, and your little dog too.ā
(unless CR MC likes animals, in which case: āF*** you and you, and neither of you deserves dogs.ā)
Yes! Thereās a very good reason for a later plot twist. Hopefully it didnāt come across as too unnatural. I know that Iāve personally been in situations where Iāve been connecting with someone only to realize we hadnāt exchanged names and then I have to awkwardly stick out my hand and say āOh, by the way, Iām Jo.ā I was trying to create that atmosphere between K and MC, only both forgot the belated introductions.

I love Grayson (though not quite more than K)! I canāt wait to romance him with a one brain celled MC who is constantly in flirt mode, even in dangerous situations. Itās gonna be adorable. Is the age gap between them gonna be a discussion/thing? Like my MC immediately confessed and got rejected and I was like I totally forgot she was only 16 in this flashback lmao so Iām glad he said no.
I tried to piece together the family drama thing from the flashbacks, but to no real avail (bc I too have just the one brain cell)? Just wondering how tense the parental situation is since MC is still meeting with their father apparently?
Anyway, great work on the update!

Well no surprise, you have made it very difficult to not totally fall for Grayson. But I still love K too. What have you done!?

Iām already in love with this story and K and canāt wait to learn more about the parents!
Does it have to do with K being the Mayorās kid?

Considering that it only occurred to me on myā¦ fourth? playthrough, Iād say it didnāt! Especially if it gets more awkward afterwards, there is so much potential there!

Iāve replayed the demo idk how many times and I too came to no conclusion. @wildelight may u drop one small hint for ur one braincell fans . we are struggling

I loved the update, and I really really enjoyed seeing more of the MCās backstory and how their personality is being developed. Also Grayson? A whole snack. Also 2.0. your writing and humor? On point as always.
So my theory for this is that the MCās parents kicked them out, since I found it curious that one of the choices during the flashback was: āYouāre kicking me out, tooā Or something like that. That ātooā was what made me think that, but I could be wrong and missed something in the conversation that promoted that ātoo.ā

Ok. So a hint for those who want to try and figure out the āincidentā:
How is one member of MCās family different from the other two?
A second hint:
Read the descriptions of what itās like for Ments when MC is nearby.
Close, but itās a little more complicated! Youāre on the right track, though.
Given you a reason for multiple playthroughs.

Iām gonna throw this on to my favorites list. Love the idea and the characters. MC is super well written imo.

Nick and MC inherited their motherās eyes. Did the dad think weāre the result of an affair mom had? Or was it the mother that overheard that stray thought and didnāt like that? Hmmmā¦
Anyway, I can already see myself replaying this a million times, seeing as I already replayed the demo a good number of times. The humor is top notch and the angst is too! Canāt wait for the full beauty of this story
