What a useful ability to have in a battle
-_- heck no. And I donât plan to. Itâs the one thing I will NEVER do.
I loathe triangles. More power to those who can handle all that drama though XD
You are not alone in this one, I think we have a club about ânope, not playing that monstrosityâ
A common opinion regardless the love triangle is, a lot of us will play it once all the books are out, so we can make it quick (and very painful, lol)
For someone whoâs is not American, I shall plead the fifth.
Ah, you are a N addict as well? Canât play the different routes without flirting with them at least once XD.
Good choice, if you feel you arenât emotionally ready then⌠Yeah its probably best and- Oh do you hear that? I think itâs people heading off to play the LT route
Summary
So I just saw this adorable article, and I can so see our Felix doing this too Police Video Shows Kind Motorist Saving A Squirrel's Life - The Dodo
good thing vampires canât get rabiesâŚ
That is so precious.
Felix got so excited. (Pretty sure our Felix would get like that too).
Basically my detective was trying to live her normal everyday life then they showed up oozing typical vampire arrogance. Like if they were evil theyâd be the guys from the Donor WIP. They treat the MC like a child disrespecting them and the one/s that are âfriendlyâ seem patronizing. Then to add onto this problem thereâs the additional resentment that comes from being local police and the âfedsâ come to town to over rule you" and THEN theyâre assigned as your babysitter which is condescending in and of itself.
N and F? How so?
A is definitely an asshole to begin with (and my MC tells him so to his face every chance she gets until she finally learns the truth), and M is just rude (but, somehow, it doesnât bother me, because I totally get him), but I disagree about F and N being patronizing.
Well, I disagree about F being patronizingâheâs about as far from patronizing as you can get. He may be a bit shallow about some things (seriously, F, stick your opinions of my dark apartment up your butt, though I do share your opinion of that piece of shit car), but he gives the MC more credit than any of them and assumes the detective is just as competent as any of them. My main MC (M path) ends up looking at him like a kid brother, because heâs very much a big (and old) kid.
N⌠I donât think N means to be patronizing. Yes, they are somewhat patronizing, but I think that stems from them being the team âmomâ and both looking out for everyone and keeping them in line. N is no more patronizing to the MC than they are to F and M (constantly reprimanding them for behavior and language). By the same token, N is protective of both F and M, and starts showing that protectiveness toward the MC (romanced or not, though in different ways) early on. Itâs a mom thing.
I agree with this. My main MC wanted to tell Rebecca to shove her team and her attitude up her ass as soon as she came in with the âyou have to use my resourcesâ blah blah blah. Fuck you, lady. I blame the whole babysitting attitude on her, too. Had she approached the situation differently, UB might not have been as condescending as they were from the start. Even after Murphy is caught (or not, if thatâs how your MC rolled), Rebecca has a shitty attitude and a controlling superiority complex. At the beginning of book 2, my MC couldâve happily smashed Rebeccaâs skull in with a brick after she rubbed it in that the team (which you were supposed to already be a part of at the end of book 1, but somehow got cut out for two months) is there to protect and âwatchâ you. Sheâs demeaning, rude, and, to put it bluntly, a control-freak bitch, so itâs hard to blame UB for having a shitty attitude toward the MC when theyâre so used to following her lead and thatâs how she treats her own daughter. My hope is that the team will gain respect for the MC through the MCâs actions and the hell with Rebecca. God, I hope she dies in book 5âŚ
Edited to add:
Comparing mothering techniques between Rebecca and N, N is a way better mom than Rebecca could ever hope to be. After all, N was the first one who wanted to be honest with the MC and saw the danger of keeping the MC in the dark. Had it not been for Rebeccaâs dumbass orders, and Aâs determination to follow orders no matter the cost, the MC wouldâve learned the truth much earlier. Furthermore, the MC wouldâve known who Murphy was as soon as they laid eyes on him and the whole damned situation couldâve been avoided. But no, Rebecca believes in lying and hiding shit because she thinks she knows all. N recognized the danger in it all, and was proven correct. Too bad they arenât the type to shove Rebeccaâs nose in it, lol.
Itâs a nine book series anyone who imagines Rebecca is going to be making it to the end is Kidding themselves
I canât remember which game it was âŚwait I think fallout 3. When paladin cross asks you about your father. One of the options which Iâd use to speak about Rebecca is âHe died as he lived a selfish assholeâ
Hopefully, youâre right. I want her dead and out of the MCâs life. Sheâs a horrible excuse for a mother. Her attitude puts the MC in a great deal of danger⌠repeatedly, and she never learns from her own stupidity and refuses to treat the MC like a competent adult.
But I think itâs only a seven-book series, not nine.
I remember that quote, and it was definitely a Fallout game. Itâs very fitting of Rebecca.
Itâs actually a 7 book series and its extremely unlikely Sera will kill off a main character like Rebecca. I personally love Rebecca as a mom. I can understand why some donât like her or really hate her but to me sheâs trying her best and my mc appreciates that and looks up to her hard working and self reliant part. I mean, she was already working for the agency when she had the mc which she wasnât expecting. And to be fair she was young. Also its pretty obvious she values the MCâs life more than her own and anything else really. I think part of the reason why I like her so much is because Iâm just a sucker for family love and good relationships.
Well⌠Not really this book focuses on relationships, be it friendships or romances. Its supposed to be an escape from reality not something dreary⌠But I guess to each their own. All I know is that sera isnât that kind of dark writer, so donât be surprised if no one dies or a horrible tragedy doesnât take place.
It seems like sheâs overcompensating with that. The woman was never around when the MC was growing up, so sheâs out to prove something. I donât buy the âloveâ from her. If she actually loved the MC, she wouldâve been up front about the danger the MC was inâlike N said, keeping the MC ignorant isnât keeping them safe. Rebecca is old enough by now to understand that, so the only explanation I can findâgiven her condescending and overly controlling attitudeâis that she doesnât give a damn about the MC at all, past a weird obsessive possessiveness. Itâs all about control and her deciding whatâs best. She comes off as a complete and utter bitch where the MC is concerned. The MC isnât ten years old, anymore, so she needs to stop treating her like it.
Thatâs the thingâI donât see family love and my MC definitely does not have a good relationship with Rebecca. Unless Rebecca changes her attitude and backs the hell off (and allows the MC to develop a close working relationship with the team where sheâs treated as an EQUAL instead of a child Rebecca has assigned them to babysit), then my MC will NEVER have a good relationship with her. She seems to be doing everything she can to make sure the MC never has a good relationship with the team, and thatâs just wrong. At this point, my MC honestly just wants Rebecca out of her damned life for good, because Rebecca is already getting worse in book 2, instead of better.
Well, we know the entirety of book 5 will be horrible and miserable, so that sounds pretty dark to me. Though, given Seraâs love of âangstâ, it probably just means the developed relationships will go to hell and the MC will be sad and miserable thanks to the ROs (even the three with whom the MC wonât yet have an actual relationship).
Personally, Iâd rather have Rebecca die. The team would be sad, and even if the MC doesnât really give a shit directly, theyâd feel for the team. Or, better yet, have the MC stuck in that horrible nightmare-inducing machine for most of the book, all because of Rebeccaâs know-it-all attitude. Thatâd be awesome, especially if she finally actually admitted the danger the MC is in and the pain theyâre going through is because of Rebeccaâs shit attitude.
So itâs Charlie Brown the series⌠No wait Charlie Brown had drama like when Charlie Brown nearly died and Marcie told peppermint Patty that she loved Charlie Brown and would marry him if she could.
Hmmm trying to think of a series with no drama, tragedy, or darkness⌠Maybe Barney the Dinosaur?
LOL.
Seriously, there is some darkness already. The torture the MC went through at Murphyâs hands was pretty dark, and the âchangeâ to the MCâs blood (all Rebeccaâs fault!). Also, a kid was murdered, which is pretty bad, even if the reader wasnât attached to him or whatever. Iâm sure there will be other similar things happening throughout the series, too.
Itâs just that Sera says sheâs a light writer. So, since this is a romance story, the major drama and misery will likely be coming in via the romances (neverending interruptions, refusal to admit feelings till the end, not having feelings till the end, and whatever other trope and plot device you can think of to keep couples apart and the MC unhappy).
Thereâll likely be more deaths, but probably a bunch of no-names we donât care about, anyway. So yeah, as much as Iâd love to see Rebecca die, @books4breakfast is probably rightâitâs not gonna happen.
I am sadly limited by game not scope of player capacity of lie thatâs my main criticism. CANâT LIE . Everyone lies my mc but we have to say truth each answers. I would love hate Rebecca while fake being sincere love her. It could havw bring so much sceneswith UB noticing via feromones that my character is lying to Rebecca.
Is this game is only with a very narrow vision when everyone is ponies and rainbows and P has to be super ponies and rainbows queen or king. Sadly i love game and story but will kill for a few moments of realism and less pink vision
Well, something that was stated very early on on the wip of book 1, is that the MC is, essentially, a good person. There are no going to be options to get out of that, you can be serious, stern, stoic, etc etc, but not actually bad.
I guess that if you donât know anything about the development when you start playing, you might come with another idea to the game, expecting it to be darker or something, but yes, the game is at its essence about good people dealing with what live throws at them the best way possible.
