MCL New Gen ep 4 spoliers !

alright alright ! the new episode is out for VIPs, and just like the previous one I got to play Roy's route early, I'll play Thomas' once the ep releases for everyone !

without further ado, click on "keep reading" to see my full opinion !

so first we got to go to the Cosy Bear for potentially meet Castiel serving, but sadly we've arrived late and didn't get to actually meet him, we did get to see Lynn however, tho I understand how Castiel's fans must be disappointed, like I would have loved o see how mister rockstar deals with serving customers, it could be really funny !

then Lynn and Thomas have a small discussion and Thomas just casually told her he was in love with her in he past (I will not go into details about him because, again, I'll make another post about his route later) which led to the topic of romantic relationships. now there was a quick scene with Brune before going to the cafe about her relationship with Roy and the bet the night before, and honestly I was kinda worried about it with the way she approached us but it turns out she's not mad about the kiss, so that was a relief.

to go back at the cafe discussion we got to know each characters' relationship statues and, surely, we got to Roy and Brune's, and while I did expect them to not have an actual serious relationship, I was surprised by how honest they were about their true feelings, and I was ESPECIALLY surprised by the fact that THEY DID NOT EVEN KISS. so anyway they ended up breaking up in a calm and mature way, which I did no expect but honestly ? as uncomfortable as the whole thing was I'm glad it turned that way instead of being messy, however it seemed like both Thomas and Devon were pretty disappointed with the lack of drama which is hilarious.

now we get to Candy's relationship with her ex and we've got the choice to got into details or not, I've chosen the first option which raised my LOM with Roy and as much as I should have expected this I did NOT expect how nice our coworkers were, especially Roy and Devon ! first Roy saying that he hopes karma will get to our ex is the sweetest thing, I'm even more in love with him ! then Devon who says they will not make business with our ex-workplace which is so awesome from him, couldn't ask for a better boss than him !

then we see Jason and the topic of why he's our enemy is brought up and honestly ? I hate him even more... basically his company is just to spite the fact he was disqualified to the contest because... he cheated... and took the opportunity of working with the city hall so he could copy Devon's project... good job, dickhead, you've played yourself ! now I want even more to mess with his plans and drive him to ruin ! *insert maniacal laugh*. now about his past relationships is none of my business, he can have many conquests I don't care, I'm definitely not into him anyway. (anyway sorry for those who do like him, nothing against you, I just don' like him at all)

and FINALLY we get to the illus scene which in the case of Roy happens in the bus and wow, I do wish I was in the place of Candy there ! the way he holds us close to him so we wouldn't fall while potentially not thinking much about it just because he might think it's just normal I just... aaaaaahhhh I love him ! then we discuss more about our expectations in a relationship and it's clear he would be such a good partner, I wish I had one like him...

and here you go, many people may think nothing much happened but remember that we're still in an introduction state, this episode was clearly about learning the LIs' view on relationship, and from what I see on the preview it seems like the next episode might make things more serious in terms of story, so hold on, be patient, it could still be great !

anyway, that's all for me, have a nice day !

thoughts on ep4

im gonna try to be as positive & optimistic as possible here cause i already have a rant in this post lol

spoilers for episode 4 ahead + thomas' illustration !!

i need to start off by saying that i actually enjoyed this episode waaaay more than i was expecting so honestly kudos to the team for that. was it cringey? absolutely. did it give me horrible second hand embarassment? absolutely x2. did it also give me ideas to theorize and make headcanons? absolutely x3. the whole roy and brune thing was... something, i guess. it was weird and honestly kinda childish and more like a teenager attempt at a relationship than two functioning adults but hey it was kinda funny and it make me feel a lot more interested in brune ngl, i really hope we get to actually befriend her and see more of her (and same with elanda, she was very funny in this episode and although the nosyness bothered me at times i still love her sm). i went for thomas' route in this episode so ill focus on him, although i saw a bit of devon's too. thomas' scenes were honestly so cute and sweet??? i looooooved the bike ride and every interaction with him feels, meaningful? idk his dialogue is interesting and it just makes me more and more curious about him. i get the feeling that it's gonna be a very adorable and sentimental route and honestly im soooo down for it (got my second acount readyyy for him) the snippets i saw of devon's scene were honestly not my vibe but i think it's mostly cause the "dating your boss" thing creeps me out a lil so i don't enjoy the flirting lmao

HOWEVER i do have to complain about something and that is the spanish translation, i need someone to go check up on the translation team cause this episode had one too many bad translations. i have already accepted that the dialogues are gonna be cringey and sound completely unnatural, but some of these dialogues are embarassing man: "no es ducho" (*ik that this is a real expression but who tf under the age of 70 uses this outside of academia) "Esta podria ser una foto robada" "en la persona de (player name)" "soy mas bien tocón" can we stop translating things literally? can we have someone that actually speaks the language to revise these things? beemoov please pay your transaltors better (or hire natives for the love of fuck)

(and last thing i want to complain about, the amount of filler dialogue to waste APs is actually insane, most of the last lines of dialogue of the episode were completely unnecesary. i promise there are better ways to get money from the players)

leaving thomas' illustration here cause its my favorite in the episode and my man looks so hot in his biker fit
