well my problem with the corruption route is I don't like the way the MC acts in it. I do agree with the Love path not being as good as Elin's path at least. However I still prefer the Love path over Lia's path not sure about Cass I like her for the character but not so much for her path. For me Cass's path when it comes to romance and sex is just a little better than Lia's , any side girl or the mother's corruption path.
He pretty much acts the same way in the corruption route that he does normally which is one of the issues I have with the love route in the first place. Both Elis and Sera act out of character and then they pretty much have sex out of the blue despite Sera being super against it before that. I'd rather just not romance the queen at all on the love route imo. At least on the corruption route the queen at least seems into it
I kind of wish we had more Aurora content that wasn't just sex.
It's the non sex content I'm talking about that's bad. It's just Aurora getting shit on by everyone while failing to do anything impactful. Like there is literally no point in the character existing other than to give us an official heir. Say what you want about Isis, but at least she does stuff and tries to take an active role in the plot. Everything with Aurora just makes me wish the stupid arranged marriage was not a thing at all. We already have enough female characters that do not do anything besides wait around for the MC in these stories. Be defiant, help Elis, do something at least. Likewise, I think Cass's best path is the green path because again she also takes an active role and does stuff while still having moments of vulnerability and having a softer side.
I do not like the prisoner route for her except for the "I can fix her" type of people. Cass in the green path is a badass. Her in jail is just there so you can feel sorry for her and pat yourself on the back for trying to make her better. I cannot stand these types of female characters that do not do anything and just exist to be doted on and fuck the male lead. Especially something that is supposed to be "Game of Thrones" like palace intrigue. It would be somewhat ok if this was some sort of suburb slice of life type game and not something with an actual plot.
