#I actually like unconventionally attractive MCs the most for Cyrus lol

Hi! Will there be option to rise "romantic points" that aren't bold or shy flirting? Can the ROs fall for MC even if MC doesn't directly flirt with them? Sorry Idk how to explain better...

For example if you ever played/heard of "Bastard of Camelot" in this IF, MC can "cluelessy flirt" with the ROs. MC can be crushing on the ROs but be clueless about it, like the ROs smile at MC and their heart beats faster, they have butterflies in their stomach, but they don't realize why yet.

In "Shepherds of Haven" instead, the ROs can fall in love with MC, even if MC isn't romantically or sexually interested in them and doesn't directly flirt with them. MC can "gain romantic points" in two ways: 1 bold/shy flirting; 2 with non romantic but important actions/words etc for the ROs. For example if MC helps the ROs while they are having an hard time, or if MC listens/incourages/scolds/gives them a needed reality check etc (for one of them is teaching them to read, since no one before ever volunteered, nor actually spended that much time helping them instead of using that information against them to hurt or ridiculize them).

Hello!

Those are both IFs I adore!

There will be shy, bold, and oblivious options for your MC to intentionally get romance points with the ROs. As for how the ROs can feel about the MC… there’s definitely personalities and actions that will entice them more than others and that will have them feel a certain type of way about the MC.

Alek, Blaire, and Orion I can confirm can have feelings for the MC regardless of if the MC has feelings for them or does anything intentional based on your choices and actions.

Cyrus, if you don’t focus on him, he will more or less fade into the background. I may have said this before but it’s very all or nothing with his route. He will only love the MC in the scenario that he’s spent a lot of time with the MC. He’s also quite shallow when you meet him he can already be a fan of the MC if they’re conventionally attractive so that would be kind of as close as unintentional points go with him. Important to note that he’s not shallow for forever and that’s not to say he isn’t attracted to MCs that are not conventionally attractive. He goes through quite a bit of character growth in his route only

Irvine is aro but I won’t leave him out because this does apply to him as well. There are MCs and actions he is more inclined to like. This will present this with being genuine with the MC rather than masking to get what he wants. There’s definitely MCs that he’ll be happier with trying to persuade to marry him. There could be a point where he sees that MC could be the only real person he could ever see being a true partner to him depending on your MC and actions that is not tied to how your MC feels or acts to get points with him.
