More than ever I am sorry for his true fans because his stans who like him for the B2 are literally the people who hurt Jumin's all his life

There's a real irony with it

I think it's really the otome game that made me feel the closest to the characters

For real nostalgia hahaha

I think Ray's AE really emphasized Another Story Saeran is nothing like CS/DS Saeran. As for Jumin's DLC... it was so forgetable.

Has it only been 3 years? I think it's been more than that nonny, tbr.

I never actually played Jumin's DLC! My friend did, the person who played Saeyoung in the blogs, and at the time when they were going through it they fed me information, and I remember none of that information really compelling me to play it (nor the art really) because it sounded similar to how they did the Rika DLC: pile on as much terrible drama and abuse as possible for the sake of it. Jumin's past was bad enough when I thought his mother had basically abandoned him and he wasn't yet willing to accept that fact and his most present step-mother flirted with him. His real mother being a crazy woman that puts him in a cage? Like, come the fuck on.

I did play Saeran's AE though, and yeah, he's a completely different character than OG Saeran. I found it kind of sweet, the DLC, but honestly Saeran was kind of unrecognizable to me throughout it, even if I thrived off of Jumin and Saeran talking directly for a single scene lmao. iirc Saeran and Saeyoung's relationship doesn't really get repaired either, and that's tragic, because I'd much rather the brothers be happy again than MC get to be with Saeran on a private resort island that Jumin just...gives them.

how do you feel about this new information concerning yourself?

V was a villain from Day 1, anon. Cheritz was notably confused when people begged them for a route to date him in because, not only is he clearly hung up on Rika and thus extremely emotionally unavailable, he’s a bad guy. Motivations are cool and all but mean literally nothing if a character’s actions hurt everyone around them, which V’s do, over and over and over again and, in the Saeran AE, he doesn’t really feel sorry about it.

I don’t unfortunately, but I definitely remember seeing people talking about it, and I feel like I recall seeing screenshotted email correspondence of someone asking for the route or asking for clarification regarding Cheritz creating it. I don’t have any of those things saved though.

V and Saeran’s AS routes are both very weird, because Cheritz had to fundamentally change them to make them emotionally available to the player, because neither of them were really written to be interested in her romantically. Even in Saeyoung’s bad end where Saeran tortures MC and sends him pictures of it to torment him, or when he recruits her in the Day 1 Bad End to be his assistant, he never really expresses romantic interest whatsoever. And V is hung up on Rika utterly and completely, so Cheritz had to bend and twist a lot of things to make them able to be romanced at all. V I think they changed way less since they had a lot less of him established, and they had to change Saeran a lot because they had much much more of him established thanks to the Secret Ending.

Thanks! I’m glad I’m not on a completely isolated island with it!

I actually wanted to ship them from the character trailer release of Maruki, as insane as that sounds. I knew he’d be the final bad guy, and whether his derpy kind persona at the time was just a ruse, I knew the writers would do something good with it, as long as they didn’t just clone Adachi. Luckily, they didn’t do that even slightly.

BTW I JUST NOTICED I MISTYPED THAT FNDKDNSKD i hope u know what i mean though uhh im kinda illiterate
