why did book 3 obliterate ms characterisation?
i promise this isn't me copping out but i haven't played book 3 since it dropped in april '23, so i couldn't give you a 100% accurate answer even if i tried
i spent multiple days analyzing issues with characterization when it dropped and then my life started falling apart – if i could remember + repeat what i remember from those conversations i would
what i will say of what i remember, is that a lot of my issues stem from being led to believe that the romance would develop a certain way and it going in a completely different direction – obviously, i know and respect an author's vision, but the dip in quality from the demo to the actual finished product made me step back and view b3 differently. instead of a fully realized story that i could see building on itself and leading to something much bigger, it was painfully obvious that this is a game with stats that had to satisfy requirements.
i only played one full route (m's of course) and after a while the scene/mood changes were so disjointed it took me out of it – lighthearted to heavy with no time to unpack or discuss, i.e. big relationship moments sandwiched between research/combat scenes and conversations with random side characters.
ultimately, just felt like a checklist of scenes being ticked off as the story progressed rather than a natural buildup with a solid plot progression like b1 and b2 imo.
i know i haven't gotten to specific instances of m's characterization being obliterated, which i said as an exaggeration, bc m is still m at timesin b3, but other times is an actual stranger in text – i don't think i can give you specific examples, but i can at the very least say that the above issues were what led to the issues of m feeling ooc.

Not true at all. You don’t fit into a category, because you are in a category all on your own. You don’t have to be petite to be cute. You are lovely inside and out.
Don’t let the notes fool you Madame.
i'm not a category I'm just built in a weird and off-putting way. I hate my body I hate how it's so small and yet so big and no matter what you or anyone might say notes will prove me right. I've seen it countless times, I know what Tumblr (and people in general) like and it's CLEARLY not my face lmao

I like to cry myself to sleep while imaging Dustin carrying Eddie's lifeless body to his trailer in the upside down, laying him gently on the bed and sitting next to it for a few minutes before dry his tears and leaving.
