MCL NG ep 7 (edit)

Well, I keep changing my idea for the headcanon so I'll just combine them. Also, I couldn't find the pattern for the top so I used a random one.

HC time:

So I will follow the whole moving out thing as well. Elizabeth's reason for looking for a new place despite having one that's mostly empty is that... she just wants a place of her own that she doesn't have to share with anyone, plus, the place where she currently lives is a bit far from where she works.

She appreciated everyone trying to help her but turned it all down because she wanted to do this herself.

Elizabeth questioned a bit the real estate agent about why he is accepting only couples and that sort of clause thing shouldn't exist since it's a bit discriminatory. But nevertheless, she wanted that apartment so she tagged Jason along.

The way he acted all corky and stuff made Elizabeth very angry. She felt looked down on by "some guy" who despite his looks had a pretty ugly personality.

Because of that, she couldn't control herself and told the truth and started crying a very...very ugly cry I must add. She started saying that all men are the same and they only see women as assets and she thought Jason was different and recalled some times she felt the same. And this made Jason's heart hurt a bit. He felt bad for making her feel like shit and *insert Jason's special scene here*. Honestly, if you cut all the specifics about Ioan, the scene fit perfectly.

Elizabeth was quite taken aback by Jason suddenly trying to comfort her and thought that maybe he was just like her dad, a show-off.

After that, Elizabeth talked with the real estate agent and told him that what he doing was probably illegal that her father is a lawyer, and that he should call his client to talk this over. And they did talk and lucky solved this.

Jason was impressed by Elizabeth and wondered what other tricks she had in her sleeve and she answered "You have no idea". And so, she got the apartment and left for work.

Here's the outfit/s:

Yeah, I have 2. I like both with the white and black shirt.

Jason 🐈‍⬛ alternative choice: he will only sleep here three nights a week, but he will pay the rent for the other four (NEGATIVE)

[mclalegria]

Woah! I hadn't seen the others, but based only on the description I was also inclined towards Devon's and from the pictures yup, definitely that one!

~Apartments of episode 7~

Each LIs, offers us a different apartment in episode 7, I was curious and went to look for them to see the difference~!

My favorites honestly are the Devon one, to my great surprise because I don't like the industrial style and the Thomas one, I love how everything is automatic and controlled by voice commands even in my real home I use this type of technology * ^ * Unfortunately I couldn't find Thomas' apartment, I had already finished the episode when I remembered I had to save the background if someone have the Thomas’ one feel free to reblog and post it here

When I get it I'll update the post~!

Devon's apartment

MCL NG Halloween Event 2024 - Jason Scene

thoughts on the jason scene from the halloween episode and my personal opinion under the cut (beware of spoilers <3):

(just me yapping, as usual)

i mean, disappointed but not surprised.

as a general overview: it was overall very boring, unoriginal following the same theme of ep 6 (is this gonna be a common thing? is this gonna be "their thing"?), and just weird and creepy?

along with episode 7, this is the second instance where ysaline tries to physically harm jason (which is a type of plot point that baffles me in contemporary romance) and this time she actually does? she wounds him (he is described as bleeding and being aa mildly serious cut, somehow a boxcutter managed to tear through clothing and make a considerable gash but thats whatever i guess)? im sorry? this is not the kind of romantic plot that i expected or wanted, i know i joke a lot about these things but i really find it creepy that, again, physically harming the guy im supposed to like is another common theme?

and that brings me to my other issue with the episode, whats the point????? in what moment you decide that it would be a wonderful idea to dress like a serial killer and chase around a woman that is genuinely, actually scared of you right now? maybe im the sensitive mf here but where is the fun in frightening like that (frightening to the point of wanting to stab you ????) someone you allegedly like? (and also reminder that these two *barely*, *hardly* know each other at this point, they're not friends, they're hardly acquaitances) and then just dropping the "haha it was a joke i like that you have courage like that ;) i want you by my side in my company" ? hey just as a little heads up BV, throwing in a cool quote or a fun flirty dialogue and illustration that people will like, right after a questionable scene, doesnt automatically cancel it out yknow

maybe its me that im too critical, maybe its me that i like doing deep dives, maybe its me that im too autistically hooked onto this game to consume it surface level, i dont know

oh yeah, also, i found the episode unbareably boring despite all of this and we have very little actual time with him, which at this point im used to i guess

to end this, and repeatinng points i mentioned before, this is far from what i expected from jason's route when i started this game, i would rather, i would *love* if his route was based around a lot of sexual attraction and mutual hornyness that eventually and slowly develops into a real romance and "oh no i actually have feelings for her/him and its no longer fooling around", than whatever creepy "cat and mouse" game they have now, but anyway

the illustration was nice:

i need to say that the closeness and that hand on the shoulder is doing things to me, wish it had a different context but ill just write my own scenario for it, hopefully before the year 3000 because i still have that episode 7 inspired scene half done swimming in the drafts

[i-donot-forget]

New Gen, ep 1 y 2

Finally I had time for a "little" review! I'm late but better late than never. Like many, I had my expectations and I can say that, apart from 1 point that concerns me and that I will mention later. I am pleasantly surprised with the final product.

Let's start at the beginning and I want to say that I really like that they give us a full context about Ysaline's life and her family from the very first moment, it helps me to connect with her, unlike Candy who in ep 20 I think we just meet her parents. And like Ysaline, I'm ready to make the same mistakes again and even worse (Why go for 1 boss? if you can go for 2 😏)

The animations, I don't want to leave out the animations, from the changes of expression of our character in each dialogue, to the, at first weird but then not so weird, "camera close-ups", I loved them. Thomas peeking out from the side of the screen or when a route approaches us in the moments of the dates, are an extra touch that helped me to get more into the story.

Regarding the routes and characters in general I want to say that I find them nice, it is a varied group in personalities which is what interests me the most and I want to discover who have their own groups and who are besties (the scene where they all run into Devon's office is awesome). Now with the routes, from second 1 I declared myself Jason and Thomas route, which I tried to follow but to my surprise, just following my instinct I ended up on Devon and Jason's routes…. (by the way the new Cassy/Nath) The personalities of the routes are well defined and, at least in my experience with Devon and Jason I felt "chemistry" that with the others I didn't (and that's ok, I'm not looking to fall in love with everyone).

Now talking about plots, I feel they have a lot to draw from, and although I know that showing the Cosy Bear Cafe event would be very difficult due to the personalization of each player, I don't deny that I would like to see it in NG. I don't mind that some arcs may be cliche, as long as they take risks as they have been doing in MCLLL, I want to see controversial and/or sensitive topics!

And finally… my ONLY complaint, and more than a complaint is a concern, is the issue of the points and not the PA's, no, not at all, I made a very quick calculation and it's fine. But the gems is another thing, 2 per day + 7 on the last day of the month gives us between 65 and 67, if they release 1 episode every 2 months, well that's perfect, you have 130-134 gems for the episode. What's the "but" then? I'm a sl@t and I like to have special moments with more than one route… in this case 2, if it is 1 additional scene per route and each one costs 120 gems, in an episode I would have 240… so I would have to wait DOUBLE to play an episode my way, to my taste… Is it unforgivable? Not at all, it's a detail in fact, but if someone would read this, they could lower it a little… just a little, maybe to 100 and I wouldn't feel so devastated ☹️

Other than that, and to close. New Gen was a positive surprise, you can see the love that is in the game, in terms of gameplay, graphics, animations, etc, etc. 100/10 nothing to say, excellent work. I TRUST that this quality that reflects the growth of Beemoov as a company and MCL as a franchise, will be seen in the plot, in the arcs and in the development of the routes, which after all, is the most important thing for the players.

So thanks for reading ❤️ and see you early tomorrow morning at the office…

I finally have enough to play ep 8 and also get Jason's special scene (I thought it costed 180 gems but I can't remember anything apparently) so I'll try to play the episode later today!! (I'm working til 5pm and I got some errands to do as well before I can get home so Idk if I'll have the energy to but I really want to see what the hell happens in this apparently horrific episode myself 💀🙏🏻)

If I can't get to play it I'll try to finish writing my reviews of ep 6 and 7!! I'm late but better late than never 😭🙏🏻

Also, for those who played the episodes through the app... How has it been for you?? Does it work correctly or not? Because I've been playing the regular MCL HSL on my ipad on the app and sometimes it gets buggy... So I'm scared it'll be the same for NG,, Please let me know!!

MCL NG EP 7 Amanda Guide!!

Sorry for the delay, but anyone who played the episode already knows that finding out the right answers was living hell. Anyway, let's get to it.

First of all, when Su is telling Elenda how her morning went, right after you talk with your mom (before you pick your outfit), go to the garden to meet uncle Archie. To get Takis outfit, say that you don't like fighting with Tasha.

When Thomas asks if finding an apartment for you was a competition, say "Of course it is!". Gives you a +5 with Amanda, but also -5 with Thomas.

When it's time to pick which apartment you like the most, of course go with the one that Amanda picked.

Before you step into the apartment, when talking to Amanda, say "Actually no! I'll be feeling more a ease with you!". Gives you a +5.

Now, for the answers during the talk with real estate agent (they're the ones for the illustration):

"It's not so bad... What do you think Amanda?"

"It's funny, I didn't think you would like it so much!"

"And if we don't have kids it shouldn't be a problem either..."

"Do you remember how many digits are there?" (Rebellious option, also gives you a +5)

"Me too! We fight for the bathroom all the time!"

As always, my answers are translated, so they might not be the exact same in the game. I still hope that they will help you not loose your precious APs to replays!

finished mcl ng ep 4 and. what a strange experience. while i ofc love that we get a photo w/ thomas on his bike, it's very strange to me to see the experience be described the way it was when i've been riding motorcycles since i was like, what, 7? much, much possibly earlier?

like, i get it, romance and all (kinda. i AM arospec and ace, but i am also a writer so i do get the point), but it's just a bit of a tonal whiplash when i, the player, consider tightly holding onto the person actually "driving" it to be very normal and non-romantic (my period of being weird about it was when i was 10 and super duper anxious about any way i could be perceived), and the character, who has never ridden a bike and at first even refuses to hold properly onto thomas and then. on the special scene, starts to wax poetic about his scent and wanting to talk to him and wishing they could do this with their helmets off lol

anyway overall. cool chapter i guess.

[candysweetposts]

Wtf is with Candy's mom? She's like I didn't make this house for a family. Like, bish, did you think you would live alone here or what? Why have kids then?!

MCL NG ep 7 edit (pt 2)

HC time:

So here Avery's reason for moving is sort of the same as Elizabeth's: they want to have their own space. For Avery, it's not so urgent to move because they enjoy their roommate's company but they just decide to try it out.

They were surprised when everyone offered to help them find a new place to stay. They liked Thomas' idea was good because Avery also likes modern stuff.

Their pretending to be a couple to get the apartment was a funny idea for Avery and also was a chance to get closer to Thomas. The way he acted a bit too much made Avery almost giggle in from of the real estate agent. And Thomas seemed to enjoy it as well earlier saying that he enjoyed lying like this and playing pretend. (psycho a bit)

Their interview went well and Avery really felt like they were dating. Avery insisted they're referred to as Miss and Mr. Bates because they liked Avery's name more. Thomas even said that he's very in love with Avery which made them blush and for a second actually believe him.

Also the whole "nothing is really functioning in the house yet" made both Thomas And everyone a bit annoyed and Avery started to reconsider.

Atlas, Thomas saying something like "We forgot to do our thing" and then going with a bold kiss really impressed Avery and they almost broke out their usual self for a moment.

After that, Avery didn't feel like taking this apartment and was like "Be more informed next time" to the real estate agent. Thomas saying that he was willing to do this again got avery a bit surprised. They don't really understand what is going up through Thomas's head.

And so, they just went back to work.

Here's the outfit:

MCL NG ep 7 edit (pt 3)

I guess I forgot to post this one. Sorry!

HC time:

Well, guess what? No moving out with this one. Exactly, Chloe has no reason to move out because she already lives alone in a nice apartment, close to work.

Because of that, in this episode, Chloe is mostly renovating her new apartment, a new coat of paint, some new furniture, and general inspection.

The catch is that she needed some help with this and some of her brothers offered to help... and Roy. She mentioned needing help at work and Roy volunteered.

About Chloe's apartment: It's more of a studio but it's very neat and cosy. Modern, but not too much and it's on the 3rd floor. It wasn't renovated in a while so she thought of doing that since she's like the place and wouldn't want to go to waste.

She gets a call. Chloe's brothers sort of thought that her living alone was a bit dangerous and that she shouldn't waste money and just move back home. So Chloe told them that her boyfriend would move in with her soon, that being Roy. He did accept to pretend to be her boyfriend and here's where I sort of go back to the episode.

They did talk about how should approach this and they just agreed to act normal but just a bit more affectionate. Roy also called her darling which made her heart skip a bit. However, Chloe knows her brother would bother Roy with questions.

At the apartment, the brothers rushed to them and asked them all sorts of stuff just to make sure. Roy seemed to handle the guys pretty well, while Chloe was a bit nervous. Roy was so sweet, showering Chloe with compliments and just being a great boyfriend generally. He mentioned cooking for Chloe and how would they spend their mornings. Then he lifts Chloe and puts her on the countertop and continues to talk about Chloe in a seductive tone. The brothers were shocked and embarrassed. Chloe too but she managed to play along well.

After that, things went to normal and Chloe said "See, I'm doing pretty well for myself". The next days Roy was there helping and even if he refused compensation Chloe thought of going out with him and her brothers.

Here's the outfit:

[candysweetposts]

Ok, I'm done with the episode. This time I decided to record it so I could look back at the footage in case I forgot things (which happens a lot).

Overall, it was short and concentrated and I like it this way. I don't really like Candy's family now. Idk, but the way her mom and sister acted in this episode was bad. I would move out too if I had to deal with an ignorant mother and a brat of a sister every day.

I'll talk about crushes more whenever I post the edits.

[mclalegria]

Jason 🐈‍⬛ alternative choice: that's true, especially when we make love (NEUTRAL)

[mclalegria]

Jason 🐈‍⬛ alternative choice: what can I do...? It excites me (NEUTRAL) pt. 2 ~ pt. 1

[mclalegria]

Jason 🐈‍⬛ alternative choice: what can I do...? It excites me (NEUTRAL) pt. 1 ~ pt. 2

This will lead to Jason telling the real estate agent that Ysaline and him are not together

First of all, candy’s expression when she says ‘like when my lover tells strangers about our sex life’ seems mischievous, but I read it in a sarcastic tone 😭 and that would fit Dove way more

Secondly, why does the idea of making him genuinely laugh make me feel so wholesome? Bro you’re an asshole most times but all I want to do is to make you smile and laugh and make you fall in love with me hard happy (I thought this before seeing how the rest of the convo would go lol)
