On another note I started playing Too Hot To Handle and at first I hated it but I can’t stop playing and I think it’s growing on me.

Me, preparing to have a conversation with Henri and Candace after their date:

Well, did I just bing-play the Too Hot To Handle visual novel? 👁️👁️

Perhaps 👁️👁️

But was is worth solely because of Henri's existence?

Absolutely.

I really really enjoyed it, especially because you can just play it without any diamonds or other in-game currency when you have a normal Netflix account & since I was sick the last few days and had to stay in bed anyways I just went all the way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My MC was created after my fave sim I had been playing as lately and she fit the whole vibe so well!!

I just wish some love interests pursued each other more but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I actually wanted to go apeshit at the end and sleep with Henri in the private suite but I cone-blocked myself by telling Jada to follow her heart and then the prize fund was *so* low that the game didn't allow that lmaooo

Other than that I really was a naughty little possum (Harry 👀) as often as possible because Henri was just a little too perfect so how could I not go for it 😂

(also - as soon as I see a gorgeous man with a man bun I am practically sold immediately)

From my side a solid 9.5 / 10 and I am already so excited for the last few bonus scenes and the second season!!!

“Oh no someone already fell asleep in my spot next to my li and for some plot-convenient reason I can’t wake up my li and make them switch places with someone else so now we must suffer! Oh no what shall we do now!”

[salem-xx]

the producers while watching/staging the double ultimatum between our old li and the newcomers:

Does anyone else feel like the lady characters in THTH don’t have as much interiority as the men so far? 

Jada is the most fleshed (post to follow about that because I have thoughts), but to me the romanceable women feel flat when compared to how the romanceable men are written. 

Marisa is probably the girl we have the most details about- her yoga stuff, that she spends most of her time doing outdoor stuff like biking/hiking/camping- but as for personality we just get that she's overly romantic, hot headed, and jealous. But not a lot of her thoughts on the events of the game, she doesn’t really form friendships with the other cast members outside of her and Theo being united in the no-rule break committee. Even Theo gets some exploration into his mixed feelings about rule-breaking with the player, whereas Marisa kinda just says ‘oh well I really like you’. 

Dakota is the most quirky of all the girls, but literally has no personality outside of 'lol I'm confident! I like food! Touch my butt and feed me pizza!!' We only get personal details about her incidentally (grew up by the ocean) or when other people are revealing things (she’s a workaholic per the conversation with Liam). We get that she revels in having gossip to share, but only when it moves the plot forward. 

I won’t count this against Priya because she’s only been here for a day, but I know nothing about her other than Girlboss (™). 

And Sarah just… I did a loyal route with her and I feel like I know nothing about her. She knows she’s hot, she’s competitive, she likes to have a good time, she hates being told what to do. But she doesn’t have any of the breadcrumbs about her life outside the show, or a backstory on why she’s here/why she’s like this/who she is. Even the intimate suite scene that has the chance to ask other LIs questions is like… Just her flirting with you. Which like, I know some people irl aren’t comfortable sharing about themselves, but she just seems so shallow without the little bits that make her more rounded. 

And like, it’s fine. It’s the same characterization that you’d get in like Episode or Lovelink, but it feels off to me because the men are written in a similar way to characters in LITG- fleshed out, multifaceted, distinct characters.

Like.

We see Theo reckoning with insecurities about his music and wanting to be the most wanted person in the room (but very much not being). He struggles with obviously wanting money and also being a massive whore. 

We see Henri trying to self modulate between these intense emotions but wanting to not appear too forward, and being out of his element. We see how open and earnest he is as he talks about his life and values. 

Liam is just Liam 🥰. (FR Liam’s my favorite boy because his character is v nuanced TO ME) He’s here for a good time and is unattached but also gets jealous quickly and makes rash decisions because of it. He’s goofy with the other guys but also stands his ground to get what he wants. He's direct about what he wants but doesn't take it too far or make it anyone else's problem. He's genuinely friends with the other cast members. He’s clearly very smart and successful but doesn’t talk about it/have a lot of bravado.

But none of the girls outside of Jada have similar storyline. I just. I want more from the women. Sarah and Alex’s one-sided rivalry is fun and Henri/Dakota’s one-off gaff about stealing food was amusing, but they’re the few times the girls interact with other cast members who aren’t MC. 

I want to see Sarah and Theo’s ‘OMG we’re NOT interested in each other NO WAY’ partners in crime schtick grow into a friends to lovers arc. I want to see Dakota either finally getting into the core group of friends (Jada, MC, Alex) or getting upset that she’s usually excluded. I want to see Marisa floundering because if MC isn’t with her she literally has nothing going on. 

I just want to see character setups and arcs similar to what it seems like all the guys have gotten.

This candle bitch did not just kiss my man I will fuck the both of them up I swear to God bruh I'm about to explode 🙄😭

Is it only me or THTH was so promising in the beginning but such a let down in the last 3 episode. Or I have too high expetations.

Bestie it wasn’t only you!! I rage deleted the app as soon as I finished this season. It started off SO WELL! I had such high hopes for the game and I was excited to have something right after a tumultuous LITG season. I think for me the first red flag was when we immediately got two dates back to back with our LIs. That was the start of the end for me. Look I get that LITG doesn’t follow the Love Island script that closely either (especially not last season) but for seasons 1-4 I felt that they kept it as close as they could, especially season 2. Then with the Candace drama, I was so extremely disappointed in the way they handled that. It was a perfect opportunity for your LI to stand up and basically say they only wanted you or that they at least didn’t want Candace, and all we got was she was flicking sand off their hair. BYE!!

I also hated how we completely lost the other cast members. I was romancing Theo, but from the other episodes I really enjoyed Sarah and Alex’s banter and loved both of them (personally I would’ve rather have had the choice of bestie and I would’ve picked one of them instead of Jada) unless you were romancing Marisa, Dakota, Henri, Liam, Sarah and Alex they pretty much disappear after ep 5. I wish we had more opportunities to chat with them or do other activities in addition to romancing our LI. The episodes felt SUPER short after the first three so I feel like they would’ve benefited adding in more content with friends. Speaking of the other cast, outside of Jada and Carter and then a super last minute coupling of Sarah and Dakota, I wish more people would’ve found “love” or at least been coupley/coupled up. It just felt unrealistic to me that my MC who had been with Theo since the beginning, when Diego came in and made moves on MC that THAT was when Liam thought he didn’t have a chance with MC anymore (he was my second highest love bar) I will say this.. as much as I was disappointed with the end and rage deleted the app, I think I’ll redownload if they decide to do a season 2 and I’ll give it another shot. I just hope they fix some of the issues of this season and keep the good stuff they had in the first (inclusivity, male MCs, non binary cast and mc, etc)
