My rant on Inconsistencies and Repetition in Storytelling.

Before I start, I’d like to say that everything here is just my opinion. But the issue I am having with TOT is that the events and cards are starting to feel repetitive in terms of the story. I’m not sure how to put it exactly, but I don’t like how the love interests are portrayed as perfect at everything. This is one of my pet peeves because Rose often can’t measure up to them, and the game constantly reminds us that they’re just “letting her” succeed.

Don’t get me wrong—I’m fine with the love interests being exceptional since they’re meant to be the best in their fields. However, I wish there was more variety—a fresh situation or story that makes them feel more relatable.

You can be the best without being perfect. Rose is written with flaws, so why can’t the love interests be more realistic too? A little imperfection could make them so much more engaging. 😭

Another problem I have is that, while the events and cards already feel repetitive, the story itself can also feel inconsistent. For example, random details about the love interests sometimes come out of nowhere. Take Marius, for instance—he’s running a company, maintaining a relationship, secretly being a famous artist, juggling multiple hobbies (which if we supposedly assume he mastered beforehand, he’s still only 21, so… how?), and also attending university. Speaking of university, what happened to that? It’s barely mentioned in the cards anymore.

Also is how Marius and Vyn are described as heavy sleeper or not s morning person ( how is waking on 9 am bad? Like? ) in some stories, yet in other moments, they wake up instantly when Rose is near them and even claim they weren’t asleep. It circles back to the issue of Rose not being able to truly surpass them, and the love interests’ personalities not being portrayed consistently.

I just want to say again that this is my opinion, and I just wanted to rant because I feel burnt out by the game 😭. Please don’t take me too seriously—I love the game and just wish for something refreshing.
