Ok so I’ve been burned so many time by (YA) novels and other media about romances that were portrayed extremely poorly that I’m a complete and utter pessimist when it comes to reading/watching/playing anything romantic, but The Wayhaven Chronicles exceeded all expectations completely.
What I expected from the A romance: A being a complete asshole and the Detective having to suffer through it silently (YA novels have ruined me cause they’re all written like that), a little pining, little to no feelings.
What my dumb ass GOT from the A romance: A being a dummy who can’t just talk to people like a normal person because?? How does one do that??? Even though they actually mean well. The Detective is a badass who puts them in their place when they act rudely, A constantly being cautious of not taking advantage of the Detective (y’all know the scene I’m talking about), a whole shit ton of feelings and pining, uhhhh 1000 blessings from God.
What I expected from the N romance: Sickly sweet conversations about N’s concern for the Detective borderlining on patronizing (I blame YA novels again), N being very…inexperienced.
What my dumb ass GOT from the N romance: N being one SMOOTH, SUAVE, SOPHISTICATED OPERATOR, 100% was NOT prepared for but LOVED, Uhhh, mutual respect and friendship and admiration and support, and 1000 more blessings from God.
What I expected from the F romance: F constantly quoting memes, never taking anything seriously, flirting with anything that moved even while flirting with the Detective, maybe being a tiny bit inconsiderate of the fact that the Detective might want more than flirtation (not maliciously intended).
What my dumb ass GOT from the F romance: F being a consistent source of camaraderie and honest friendship, not just flirtation though there was plenty of that good stuff, my good sir, F thinking critically about how to use their abilities to protect the Detective, F being SO CONSIDERATE of the Detective’s feelings, well-being, adjustment to the supernatural, and HOLY GOD how much they care about wanting to do right by the Detective, Venus the Roman goddess of love gave me a thumbs up.
What I expected from the M romance: M being a complete asshole who cares a ZERO amount for other people’s thoughts and feelings and is derisive towards the Detective (the typical YA ‘bad boy’), presses a sexual advantage over the Detective even if the Detective makes it clear they aren’t interested. (This happens all the time in media)
What my dumb ass GOT from the M romance: THEY CARE! They try to pretend they don’t, they really do, but every time you show concern for victims or softness for other people M scoffs out loud but they MELT inside! TOTAL MARSHMALLOW M. Heavily flirts with the Detective but isn’t creepy or over the top about it, honestly more feels than I was prepared for, OW, I got a high five from Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love after flirting with M ten times.
Uhhhhhh so yeah please play The Wayhaven Chronicles, this was my review of the game (I didn’t want to bring up any plot points because I CAN’T SPOIL IT IT’S TOO DAMN GOOD I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR HOW MUCH I WAS GONNA LOVE IT) so please buy the game and play it, you won’t regret it, I promise!
My Detective: Pushes Nate back onto the bed.
Nate (who is 6′4 of solid supernatural muscle): Obligingly lets himself be pushed — once he realizes that’s what she is trying to do.
Detective Sumaya Kyle. A bad ass softie.
