Yeah the “Love triangle” Isn’t even really a love triangle, nor is it a V-poly (which I generally don’t like)… The “love triangle” in Wayhaven is two people interested in the Detective and constantly yearning for them and vise versa. However, you cannot shut either of them down clearly and you also eventually have to choose which one you will be with because… You know… Frick you if you wanted to be poly.
Like, you can begin dating but you will still constantly be ‘conflicted’ and feel your character constantly being pulled any which way.
I am still annoyed that A is a better romance in the love triangle route than they are when they are romanced on their own but that is another thing.
(I myself only really like poly when it feels like it’s actually building relationships between the characters along with you romancing them, just spuriously slicing romance scenes with solo routes along with jealousy or envy feels… bad. In the normal romance route for A they are the ass but in the love triangle route you are the ass because you can’t just choose. You have to toy with both of their emotions while you constantly shift your whimsy because of “how much you care” about both of them.)
Anyway that tangent probbbbably belongs in another thread but no matter. Relating to this one, honestly I have mentioned in passing before but man am I a sucker for Manerkol. I know he is evil, and he literally turns you into a ‘pampered doll’ of sorts if you run back to him. Still, I find something about him being ‘torn and distraught’ over your ‘betrayal’ compelling. I want to see how that all ends up.

Maximum emotional damage is choosing the love triangle purely to romance N.
For all my criticism, I do enjoy N’s content.

My husband had a MC to do that (he has two LT MC’s, and one was for A and the other for N), but she’s decided that N is a yandere and it frightens her. It’s kind of hilarious.
Oddly, that made me enjoy that MC of his. The one that went after Ava from the get-go is a sociopath, lol. But it’s fun watching him torment her.

The RO’s I like the most :
1- Junko from SOH .
I just like how much she is obsessed with the MC .
2- Maria From Relics .
I really hated her at book 1 but when we actually got to know her more in book 2 I just had to go do her route and I loved it .
3- Morgan from TWC .
Aside from being a jerk at the beginning , what I like the most about M is her honesty both in romance and friendship routes , she doesn’t sugarcoat things and is a very direct person .
4- Ava from TWC .
… Why do I love her angst so much ?

I guess I’ll throw my hat in the ring. There’s so much going around about how A sucks because they play too much into tropes and acts like a child at some parts in TWC, unable to truly get involved emotionally. I also assume that many of these tropes are around YA novels and whatnot, stuff that everyone here has probably read countless times.
I have not read any of these things, therefore I am not angsting about A’s angst.
This is pretty much my first exposure to all of these tropes, TWC is the first romanced-focused piece of literature I’ve ever willingly read and I ate up most of what it gave. So I guess I understand on a logical level that A is a terrible romance for some people, but I don’t feel it. I hope that makes some sense…
