Corazón de melón en el Conalep

Hi anon! Did you stop playing after High School Life?

So many years have passed, and so much has happened…

I still remember how excited I was when they teased that a college arc (or “University Life”) was coming.

And then I remember how I felt when they confirmed that three routes wouldn’t return: Armin, Lysander, and Kentin.

My heart broke — and honestly, so did the fandom.

Everything seemed to move on, except for our feelings…

The feelings of the girls who had chosen those routes.

We waited. We cried. We tried to be patient. We got desperate.

Some of us tried to play MCL:UL. I even created a new OC because I couldn’t bring myself to use my original one — the one I made for Kentin. It felt like cheating on him, somehow.

Some players were happy. Their routes continued. Some even fell in love with the new characters and found joy in the story.

But some of us… we never could. It never felt the same.

I finished University Life with an emptiness in my chest.

Then the next arc came — I think it was called “Adult Life”, “Love life”? — but only with Castiel, Nathaniel and the new love interests from college life. I chose not to play. I just couldn’t force myself anymore.

Years passed, and then they released some spin-offs for the original boys: Kentin, Lys, and Armin.

I played. I felt so nostalgic… and strangely warm.

It wasn’t enough. But it was something.

I don’t remember everything clearly now, but I think the college love interests got a proper happy ending in that newer arc — with weddings and all.

Those of us who had been left behind felt so, so sad.

We wanted that happiness, too.

Eventually, MCL: Alternate Life was announced.

A reunion. A second chance. A happy ending.

And yet… the fact that it was called “alternate life” hurt.

Like it wasn’t canon. Like it could have happened… but didn’t.

But again, it was something.

And something was better than nothing.

I only played Kentin’s.

And I truly loved it.

It made my chest ache in the best way. It brought me back to my 16-year-old self…

The memories, the feelings — they were all still there.

We had asked for closure for so many years.

And finally… they gave it to us.

I won’t lie — I felt at peace after that. Like maybe I could finally move on.

Still… it felt unfair.

We waited so long, and in the end, we only got a few chapters.

We deserved a full story. A real, developed arc. Just like the others.

(Am I asking too much? Haha…)

I thought I was fine.

But lately, I’ve been thinking about those days again.

Playing HSL, being part of a lively fandom, writing fanfics, drawing, creating theories, getting to know everyone’s OCs…

The friendships.

Those were such good times.

The way I felt about Kentin…

How could I feel so much for a 2D character who doesn’t even exist?

It’s kind of embarrassing. But it’s the truth.

Oh, and yes — there’s a new game now. MCL: New Gen.

New MC, new story, new characters.

I wanted to try it… but in the end, I didn’t.

I just created an account and left it at that.

Sorry, anon.

You only asked about what happened to the game — and I ended up pouring out my feelings.
