the wheel of "fortune" has got to be the worst thing RC has ever implemented. the odds are garbage, you have the highest chance at winning something completely worthless (38% chance of winning Sun Sparks or Heart Flames, which have ZERO function at the moment) or nearly worthless (29% chance at winning 1-10 diamonds, with 1 being by far the most likely), and it's tied to entering the Hall of Fame.

i actually had a decent chance at getting into the hall of fame. i have all of the vol1 cards, all black mirror wardrobe trophies, 311/312 achievements (just need one bugged HHW achievement to be fixed), and 58 LIs from completed stories at 100%. i have the time and ability to get the remaining LIs i need to 100%. it's literally just the fucking ONE vol2 card i still need (Cain) that's holding me back, because i am DONE spending money on this garbage ass feature until RC does the following:

GIVE THE SUN SPARKS AND HEART FLAMES A PURPOSE. it's completely unacceptable that a PAID FEATURE on this app does NOTHING. i'm actually shocked that this got through app store verification. we're buying something that doesn't do anything!

add some kind of pity feature to the wheel: allow us to craft, trade, or buy cards that we're missing. let me turn the EIGHT vlad cards i've won from this stupid wheel into Cain's card. let me turn the OVER TWO THOUSAND Sun Sparks and/or Heart Flames i've won into Cain's card. something. anything.

i'm so upset about this, and i would strongly suggest to everyone NOT to spend money on this feature until it's fixed.

yeah. the description says "Reach 100% Top Match with at least one love interest in all completed stories."

Weird that i have 2 characters with 100% stat in the finished ranking session but neither triggered the achievements. I thought they fixed that? How did any of you unlocked them? By ending with the LI? Aaron is 100% but I ultimately went for John in the second playthrough :/ I do have RJ but I figured HHW was too recent so the system didn't consider the 100%.

[nepthys-merenset]

you need to have 100% with a LI from EVERY completed story to trigger the lover I badge (29 LIs, one from each completed story), two LIs from every completed story to trigger lover II (58 LIs, two from every completed story), and 3 LIs from every completed story (87 LIs, three from every completed story) to trigger lover III.

a haiku by me

i am slowly going nuts

without any news

RC headquarters right now

Ok seriously what the hell is going on 🫠

[nepthys-merenset]

getting my bet in now so i can either lord being right over people forever or delete this in shame by the end of the week: i think the new feature is going to be a paid VIP program.

(and tbh i hope i'm right, because i would buy the hell out of that!)

[nepthys-merenset]

idk if this is me being a pessimist or me having a bad imagination, but I just can’t really imagine a new feature that’s cool enough to justify the update being a week late. I genuinely can’t think of anything I want really badly that’s also complex enough to require an extra week of testing…everything I want is either flat out impossible, unprofitable for RC, or just a simple QOL update.

Um...don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting a happy ending with Casper (or any of the LIs) on the path of the beast, but are you fucking kidding me? This is it? I just kill my LI without even an option not to?

We've been getting warnings that we can "make Casper worse" on the path of the beast. I thought that meant, like, torment him mentally, not kill him. I was expecting angst, not murder + suddenly having no LI four chapters before the end of the story.

I still like this story a lot and I'm still really curious to see where the path of the beast takes me, but I'm so disappointed in how this LI route played out.

Mercy vs Cruelty path differences in HSR: Part 5

The hidden path also impacts Lane's thoughts on Agape's sermon. On the mercy path, she's more receptive to his sermon, and on the cruelty path, she harshly judges the parishioners and considers religion an instrument of control.

Mercy vs Cruelty path differences in HSR: Part 4

I found a small path difference in Dmitry's overnight diamond scene, during the part where Lane tries to get Dmitry to change out of his wet clothes. On the mercy path, Lane is more concerned about Dmitry's comfort, vs on the cruelty path, Lane's priority is his utility to her.

reading Remy stories makes me feel like my sense of smell is seriously underdeveloped. all of her MCs are running around like "oh this person smells like grapefruit and vetiver, this person smells like powdery blueberries, this person smells like tart pomegranates!" and meanwhile i'm over here like "this person smells good. this person smells bad."

[nepthys-merenset]

Thanks Remy, would've never figured out such complex implications on my own.

Uh oh...so apparently if Eva and Ramesses aren't close, he gets sliced across the stomach by the hunters while he's fleeing and he's probably got the dark curse disease. Things aren't looking good for him.

[nepthys-merenset]

Calling it: Hemset is under Anubis's protection. He's wearing a mask that Eva points out "isn't like ours", and it looks an awful lot like the "plain" Anubis mask Eva finds in the ibu.

Eva and the other shesmus' masks are modeled after Set, their protector, so if Hemset's mask is modeled after Anubis, he must be under his protection.

I found another endless loop of negative renown in season 2 of SCN! My Eva is going to be an unstoppable force of incompetence.

maybe the real romance club was the heaven's secret universe we made all along
