A couple days ago, Wincy released a message regarding the state of her mental health. I don’t follow any of the writers on social media, so I don’t know all the details. The gist I’ve gotten is she’s been the subject of toxic comments on certain social media platforms. She’s taking a step back due to severe anxiety and panic attacks.

I have a lot to say about this. First of all, I cannot fathom what sort of complaints or demands players could possibly be throwing at her. Soulless is one of the best written stories on RC. It’s the one I have zero complaints about. IMO, Wincy is one of the best, if not the best writer in RC.

I’m gonna break down why Soulless and Wincy are so great.

Originality. The concept is fun and creative. A succubus comes to modern day earth and lives among humans. I don’t even know how she came up with an idea like that.

Depth. Soulless could have been sex, sex, sex. But it isn’t. It’s so much more. It’s about finding your identity when you are so different. It’s about how to trust, how to develop real relationships with people. About learning how to be vulnerable and how to both give and receive love.

An amazing MC. Imo, Vyxaria is the best MC in all of RC. She has a distinct, vibrant, unique personality. She’s strong and confident, yet still has insecurities. She’s unafraid to go for what she wants, but isn’t always sure of what she wants. She longs for companionship despite her demonic nature. She’s supposed to be evil, yet has a good heart. And she’s funny!

Wonderful LIs. Each LI has their own personality, their own backstory, their own arc. They are all physically attractive. They each get a decent amount screen time to develop their relationships with Vyxaria. And they have…

Real relationships. Each relationship is handled with respect. Each is beautiful. Even Threxio/a’s. We know Wincy’s going somewhere with this one, but we’re not there yet. They each have something to offer Vyxaria, and she grows from them. Through them she learns about vulnerability, self-acceptance, trust, morality, and support.

Female characters. For those who romance women, they get three options. I don’t romance women, but just by romancing Walter and being friends with Ava, I can tell that they are good. Ava’s relationship with Vyxaria is especially beautiful. Maybe one of the most beautiful in RC.

Humor. Soulless is the only book in RC that has me consistently laughing my butt off. Vyxaria is hilarious! The banter between the characters is funny, and they have different types of humor. Vincent is dry. Walter/Cynthia is a lovable golden retriever. Elliot’s reactions to Vyxaria are our reactions to Vyxaria. Having that mirror is great, because we know Wincy is laughing along with us.

Juicy sex scenes. I feel like I don’t need to explain this one. Even the encounter with Kang was 🥵. We also get CGs for each one.

This is a little thing, but I love that each sprite comes with a different color demon form. It makes rereading so much fun.

Unpredictability. The twists are really bold. You won’t see them coming. Wincy really knows how to hook you and keep you wanting more.

Anyways, that’s my love letter to Soulless and Wincy. Selfishly, I want more episodes of Soulless, but Wincy’s health is more important. I hope she’s able to get the rest and recovery she needs. Also, bullies suck. We need Vyxaria to make them go unf unf unf down a staircase. 😂

He’s come such a long way.

Confession:

Vyxaria could be doing the most mundane shit and then boom, the fuckass incubus channels his inner Kevin Gates. IT’S ENOUGH.

Why does the book force me to be overly sexual with this man whore??? He’s the least desirable too. Even looking at his ahh gives me the ick 💀

Is it even the same thing with Threxia? Is she better or just as bad as him because I CANNOT deal.
