#im in the ace spectrum it's literally uncomfortable being forced in romantic situations with people you don't care about in that way

Rant Lesson 20 (Obey me Nightbringer under the cut) and NB in general.

Fair warning: I had a really bad day and I'm sleep deprived and overworked so I wasn't able to mince my words.

I had a really small hope that NB will learn from the OG's mistakes and grow past it and make a better game that caters to its audience but lesson 20 Normal was severely underwhelming. They went for the "safe" side again and made everyone fight for the MC's affections as a wrapup for this season.

They were doing so well on making the romantic scenes optional and the interactions with the characters a lot less forced but with the abrupt end of season 1, it the sudden transition to everyone just falling in love with MC again felt like a whiplash. What happened to the nuance? The character development? Why are the characters...so tropey? It didn't use to be like that in the earlier lessons.

They were doing so well on making a better paced game but the past daily texts as well had forced romantic options and an MC that is really hard to relate to especially if you Stan specific characters (say what you will about NB being Solomon-centric, but boy am I not feeling it in the latter lessons. Was Solomon even there? Most of his content were off-screen. It was so frustrating. I hate the fandom sometimes and how they treat him). The only opportunity you can get to interact with him is the medal scene.

Then they had this brilliant idea to hide the only interesting thing that happened in lesson 20 in hard mode!!

Hello??? Isn't it important for everyone to know that the Raphael who came to the Devildom was an impostor? (And likely Michael or another angel?)

I'm done. I'm so done with this game. It's literally going back to its old habits. The poorly paced events are even worse with the absence of the 150 DV sales and the higher pity requirement for cards and Skill Levels to unlock full bloom.

Wow! /s The side characters finally get to have an event of their own? But I find it a little unfair Lucifer gets an individual spotlight along with Mammon but they can't seem to do it for Solomon and even Simeon!! Remember that Smash Bros event in the OG where they said Barbatos was the star but it turned out to be Belphie instead? Wtf is wrong with this game?

I'm so glad I had plans not to continue playing this. I feel so bad for the fans that will choose to stay despite all that's happening.
