*thinking about the villains' tragic fates*

You know, their routes never really talk too much about their fates and how it effects them mentally. Or how the MC feels about it, and dealing with the fear and angst of it with the slight exception of William's route

*eyes widen*

... I think I know what the sequels are gonna be about

#I am scared both because it will be angsty and because they might not do this and mess up the sequels #from what I can tell Ikemen sequels can be pretty hard to do right #partly because the playerbase has over a year to imagine their own post-route and get attached to that #and because added onto an already finished story can be difficult without potentially accidentally undoing the efforts of the characters #I haven't read a lot of ikemen sequels so I could be wrong #but Ikevil doesn’t have this problem so much because it feels like there are some loose threads left with their relationship and character #not enough that it leaves you unsatisfied but enough that you could definitely expand upon it #I guess the tricky thing then would be expanding upon it in a way that people like #but for me I noticed some of the routes don't feel like one full finished story in terms of their relationship #it feels like the beginning of something #specifically I get that feeling for Liam's and Harrison's route #like the story ends with them getting together because we spent the whole story getting to know each other and learning their backstory #but it still feels like there's stuff to untangle and figure out in a relationship with them #I just hope that some of the sequels will be more slow paced #and whatever Crown mission going on is only meant to enhance the character journey like in Elbert's route #instead of being the main source of drama #but it could depend with the character and what type of story a sequel for them would be best for #like William's sequel being more action-packed and stakes while Liam's is more soft #I feel like that would fit them #thank you for coming to my ted talk #...in the tags #ikevil #ikemen villains #ikemen series
