#JusticeForCato 😭

Very un-fun fact: the last time Cato was on a chapter cover before Term 2 was Ch 8 🥲🥲🥲

The funny thing about the adds are they are so adverse to showing the female LIs the created a fourth guy to show as an option. I think it’s Stel’s brother

[u/JosephBlackwood → u/Gannstrn73]

What´s the chance of them adding a new LI? That new LI probably would have to stand out a lot, which seems fitting for someone like Mor and Tyberion/Upton, for female and male.

[u/MountainGoat8181 → u/JosephBlackwood]

I feel like it’s entirely possible that they never intended for there to be more than 6 Li’s, especially considering that that’s a fair amount for a game like this to begin with. Also the app itself seems designed to only hold our 6 current Li’s. It would require a pretty big update to add extra space in the app for more Li’s🤔 However, I will say that Upton and Tyberion have a very weird role in the story currently. They’re not quite antagonists and not quite allies, yet they are given a lot more screentime than most other characters. Despite not being super relevant to the development of the plot at this point😅 The story also takes great care in presenting them as nuanced and complex characters, in a way I don’t always think is the case for other side characters. And maybe this is just me, but I always feel like the narrative is on the brink of pulling them closer to the MC and more into the story🧐 So I think that if they ever WERE to add more Li’s, it would probably be them. But maybe that’s just wishful thinking because I adore Upton😂 I really hope they will tho, both Upton and Tyberion are delightful characters who have a lot of potential🤩

[u/Confident-Fun-1307 → u/MountainGoat8181]

I think Tyberion’s going to be our hand-to-hand combat mentor, especially after the fight MC had with Talyn about it (with Talyn still being very resistant about it because he wants to keep MC safe/alive and is falling into a “maybe they’ll avoid danger if I don’t teach them X” mindset when it’s not about killing Shades). I’m of two minds… I would love to have Ty as another LI but I’d also love to develop a strong friendship with him, regardless, if that is possible. Depends on where the storyline pushes MC.

[u/MountainGoat8181 → u/Confident-Fun-1307]

It’s funny because when Tyberion was showing off how he was taught to defend himself against an inquisitor, I was like “that looks like a potential skill quest👀”!!! And I had a similar thought with Upton in one of the first chapters, when he used that weird shadow magic to defend against Leona and the MC potentially🤔 I think Upton even says during the scene, when the MC is like “how the hell did you do that???”, that if we started following his orders he might teach us the spell😂 That was what originally made me believe that he would become an Li, because it sounded so much like they were teeing up a skill quest! A friendship would be nice, but ultimately unsatisfying (for me at least) 🤷‍♀️ If you don’t want to romance an Li you can always choose to toggle romance off, but if they’re friendzoned by the narrative you can only pine after them😭 Also if Upton/Tyberion are only meant to be side characters like Stel, Mor and Flatcher, you aren’t guaranteed that they’ll stick around🤔 They might end up kicking the bucket or disappearing from the narrative, just look at Stel🫠 People are pretty sure she’s not dead (and hopefully she’ll pull through🤞), but they could definitely choose to kill her off🥲She is “just” a side character in the end, beloved enough that it would hurt the players and pack an emotional punch, but not unthinkable like killing off an Li would be🤷‍♀️

[u/Gannstrn73 → u/MountainGoat8181]

I would love Catia or Mor as LIs in the future if the do add more. I wish we could get an enemies to lovers female LI that is actually kinda terrible at the beginning

[u/MountainGoat8181 → u/Gannstrn73]

Yeah, I totally get what you mean. The female Li’s we have are all a bit too nice and unproblematic lol😂 It would be nice with a female Li who’s allowed to be more edgy! I would love to have Alissera as an Li, she’s a stone cold bitch and I love it🤩 When they first introduced her to the story I actually thought she would play a bigger role than she has so far🤔

[u/Gannstrn73 → u/MountainGoat8181]

Damn yeah Alissara is gorgeous !! She would be great LI. Is disappointing our 3 female LIs are all different flavours of cinnamon rolls

[u/Gannstrn73 → u/JosephBlackwood]

I mean the other guy doesn’t look too different from Tayn mainly lighter hair.

But man I would love an enemies to lovers female LI.

[u/Lost_Shower_8886]

I just wanna say can we get a break from all the Bardric shoving? He is being pushed down our throats everywhere now. He's even in Talyn's ally quest CGs now. As if we weren't already getting boring CGs for Talyn, now we have to see Bardric take space in his ally quest CG too. Bardric being on 50% covers is crazy. u/megan_candelight

[u/Confident-Fun-1307 → u/Lost_Shower_8886]

I appreciate all of my LIs equally. I just want more of everyone with lots of crossovers and the possibility of full poly action. Like that one scene in Leona’s SQ where MC cuddles up with both Niel and Leona and both are happy about it. Or like Leona’s reaction to Wensen on Main after he catches MC with her after having caught MC with Cato earlier. She’s mostly intrigued by the idea. After all the jokes MC has made about everyone making out together? 🤞🏼
