#imbriss was an asshole but it at least made him way more interesting

Dear Monster update thoughts

I saw that Dear Monster finished their Slagathor route finally and I decided to play it since it only takes an hour or two. Boy, I don't want to say I was disappointed exactly, but it was very... normal? Not much happens honestly? The conflict, if you can call it that, is all about Allen's magic being locked away and Slagathor helping him and potentially hurting himself. But there wasn't much flair or drama, they cared about each other just so much, and it was kind of a perfect relationship, so I felt a little disappointed. Slagathor is a down-to-earth character, so I imagine it's more difficult to work in conflict but cmon!! I'm not here for perfection!!! lol.

I feel the most interesting routes had the most conflict - Imbriss, Faeryn - and I would add Momo but some parts of his route just felt like an odd back and forth of returning to the same spot. I feel lots of potential wasn't reached because it was a pretty short game. Imbriss, Faeryn's and Hikmat's felt the longest, and therefore like they had more depth. Maybe it's because I'm playing it way after the fact but I wish there'd been more to it.
