Taking one for the team. God bless.
Ok yāall. I caught up with the last episode since Iām pretty sure thereās a new one tomorrow aaaannnddd I spent gems!
Also, Iāve been having a glitch with this story only where sometimes characters just stay idle. So they talk or think, but thereās no animation to go with it. It hasnāt bothered me enough to submit a ticket, but did it affect me when I spent gems? OF COURSE!
I didnāt spend gems to help Viper propose (lol). Instead I spent a cool 20 to go up and watch the fireworks. Liam gave me a necklace and we kissā¦ Wait, sorry no. We donāt kissā¦ We awkwardly stare at each other because of the glitch. Then we talk, and the glitch has gone, so we attempt another kiss and take things further Except, guess again! The glitch is back. We stare into each otherās eyes for a total of 2.5 seconds, the camera pans to the fireworks, I assume we rip each otherās clothes off with our eyes because let me tell you, our hands were firmly by our sidesā¦ And this brings my bonus scene to an end. I donāt think it was longer than a minute in total haha.
Side note: omg all the dresses at the ball!
Another side note: I swear there are more female tattoos on the way.
Another one: I really love how theyāve been using that overlay of a crowd. I remember reading somewhere that episode never has more than I think 8 characters in the one scene because it might cause the app to crash, and this was a really clever way around that
In hindsight, I just remembered this exact animation was used in Instant Princess as well, when Leona was underdressed one episode.
Plus the lady Kendall to question
Wow, Iām lucky I didnāt;t that glitch myself.
Straight from the woodworks is what I call the Redemption Ep this chapter.
Whatchu You Gonna Do?
Straight after David āRichardā Davis swooped in, MC finds Liam outside who quickly focused on getting the party back on track. Surprisingly, Sydney was listening in the conversation and wanted to help. This is way too good to be true that Sydney has an incriminating video of her and Daniel pre-coitus. Iām 60% sure she was doing illegal stuff recording without Danielās permission assumedly for blackmail, but I didnāt care for the moment: sheās being the good gal I suspected her to be (kinda).
The suspicious part about it is I didnāt need gems for this (Maybe because earlier I chose both gem choices last episode). No, Sydney got to mass-text the entire party the vid. As it turns out, it was pretty embarrassing on Danielās part obviously.
Itās pretty much him suggesting role-play with him being Gatsby, getting real jealous of the dude, the ācoolest party-boyā in the city (yes, he said that). Seriously, my summary donāt do him and it justice. Other than some weird implications, everyone is laughing at him. Plus Claudia Wolf straight-up fires the guy in front of the crowd. Ellen would be boss, I mean Yes, finally!!! Weird though, Claudia praises me for my journalism, which in context doesnāt make sense since I made Sydney release the video.
But, celebrating and all that jazz MC finds out she has her job back, which is going to be weird later now thinking about it. Flash forward a week, and MC is getting all sorts of deals and emails especially from an anonymous fan. Iām supposed to get a dress, but itās stuck in the dry cleaners. So MC ran out ā to find goddamn Austin back (GODDAMNIT) on a motorcycle. I spent 20 gems last chapter to get a romantic bit with Liam, and you CAME?
Of course, Austin is impressed with the article. And now heās willing to even work under me. Sureā¦ However, MC herself has a lot of job offers so sheās unsure. Austin doesnāt mind, he even offers to give me a ride and get a dress quickly for the affair, which MC is sure would make Isa want her to get bridesmaid dresses. But like a poor fool, I couldnāt afford the next gem choice (Iām being tight on my iTunes credit) and Isa turned into a snob.
Now I think about it, if I donāt spend gems, Isa almost always becomes a snob. In-story yeah sure Iām late, but sheās really teed off. Not sure I like this directionā¦ At least she thanked my speech.
So in the next scene, Zoe, Isa and MC are talking about Ethanās āsoul-searching questā and his absence. And then suddenly he comes in suave like James Bond, and confessed he wants me, and then Liam comes with a bouquet of rosesā¦
But hey, Zoe was flirting with Sydney and she blushed.
Seriously, thank the sky that the Daniel arc is indefinitely over, but really bringing back two LI back tooā¦?
Righto, Iām about to do that gem choice so Isa doesnāt become a witch Thanks for the tip lol
To be fair, if I didnāt help Viper with his proposal in the first place, Isa would have been fineĀ®? I guess
Yeahā¦ Their relationship was fixed pretty quicklyā¦ I mean, I love Isaās hair, but having good hair is no excuse to reject someoneās proposal when you can always just go to the jewellers and swap the ring for one you like. And while weāre discussing it, I did pay gems to get a good dress and become maid of honor, though I find it incredibly stupid that she picked me, when sheās been bestieās with Zoe for a lot longer.
Itās 0.5% better than positively princess thatās somethingā¦right?
Episode you deserve a trophy for the WORST story EVER
NEVER in my life have I red such a boring and cliche storyā¦itās just terrible. I donāt even know where to beginā¦
ITāS TERRIBLE I canāt evenā¦-
Stop trying episode because when you publish a story that you āthinkā is good itās painful to watchā¦painful!
The worst story ever ā¦
But hey! At least you won a trophy for creating such trash, eh?
This is my first story in using this app, so Iām curious how these kinds of stories work, can yaāll enlighten me?
So, I start off using no gems. Thatās boring I start using Gems. I hate Ethan off the bat and never do anything with him. I get fired from my job (at the time I thought it was from choices I made, but I guess that happened to everyone?), I choose to work with Daniel (again, would people have ended up working for him even if they said no?), I go to the Gatsby party and meet Liam and all that stuff.
I go on dates and have sex with Noah, Austin, and Liam. Noah disappears then Austin disappears then thereās a wedding pre-party and everyone is there and Ethan tells me heās in love with me and always has been. Super weird because, again, I barley know Ethan. I tell Isabel I want to pick Noah and she says āHeās not here so pick someone elseā so then I pick Liam, we go on the farris wheel and talk about marriage.
Can someone explain to me how these stories work? How much do your choices impact your end-result? It seems like they donāt, really. Do gem choices make a difference? I was hoping that if you did your choices right, you could end up with Brandon (bartender) or something, but it doesnāt seem that way.
Thanks! This will help me in future decisions to spend gems or not.

Iām going to be honest, as much as the app will push you to start with their Episode Original stories, they really arenāt the best examples of what the app has to offer.
Nevertheless, hereās a bit of a rundown:
- Using gems doesnāt affect the storyline too much. You usually get bonus scenes for spending gems, but it only adds a few extra lines or you get to wear a special dress.
- Not using gems will at times make the characters in the story tease or mock you because youāre wearing basic clothes or you chose an activity that is free. It kinda makes you feel guilty for not spending gems, but they get over it so donāt play into their guilting tactics.
- End result during these kind of stories is usually a case of āwhich love interest do you want to end up with?ā so choices donāt usually matter until the last episode.
- Brandon the bar tender probably isnāt a love interest (though tbh I thought he was going to become one at one point), so no matter what choice you pick, if the author hasnāt intended for him to be a love interest, you wonāt be able to end up with him
Lol!
Thanks! This is helpful.
Iāve started some user stories, I will probably finish iridescent. Any other you all recommend?
Check out these threads for some user story suggestions:
(The last thread is about stories that have choices that matter, so if that was what you wanted when reading Love Life, youāll find those types of stories there)
Thank you! This helps a lot. Yes, choices actually mattering makes a difference! although it has been fun reading now and knowing the choices DONāT matterā¦I get to be a huge b**** and it doesnāt make a difference haha
Hahahaha, the one time in life you can pursue multiple love interests and not be held accountable or have to deal with jealousy is in an Episode featured story
Speaking of multiple love interests:
Summary
Starting straight away to the cliffhanger from last chapter, Ethan LOVES me and it was barely a week until Liam came back, and there is a new bouquet prop , nice! So of course I choose between talking with either of them or break the awkward tension. Choosing the latter of course makes both guys a little disappointed but I charmed Liam back. Liam so wants MC to come to Belize with him, and this life altering decision is made. But then Ethan clarifies how he loves me, and is VERY aware how conveniently he realized this after all the other LIs are introduced, but now Ethan is Now All In. I made the choice of telling him that he strung MC and Sydney along, which honestly in real life I never thought about since he was the least priority. He is really pushing that MC is what his heart tells him, despite keeping the secret of the affair from him initially. Is he pulling the I might love you more than you me card? (Honestly this is my guilty pleasure of a trope but itās kinda used disingenuously here). Point is he is 100% in love! Oh boy, kinda hard to say yes when Iām technically committed to another guyās long term plan, I really donāt know they are both rich guys with hearts of gold. I ended up using the I need more time card, gah!
Anyways, back to girl things. Isabelle is back to normal, I think, teasing about the love drama. And she is super excited for the Perfect Bachelorette party MC would plan, and I assume rightly she wants it big and bold, quite literally as she wants it on Sunday Fun-day. She said it would be co-ed with Viper, kind of ruining the point of a bachelorette party but okay.
So next scene shows the gang and random people who know Viper and Isa planning said bash. Weāre going to Coney Island, babes, complete with couple-themed rides at night. And okay, the actual party starts in an hour. Wow, is MC actually taking initiative and not screw up because of me? But actually, Zoe gives the grim reminder that Isa expects a dress code. Girls with new hairstyles agree. Seriously it would have been nice to have this reminder in the first place Episode! Youāre admitting that one of the main characters is a party snob. Question, if she wanted to coordinate ideas for the party, why did she only tell Viper about her vision boards and not MC? So I guess the standard tiara and sash doesnāt apply?
Spoilers: theyāre rompers and romphims and MC in a freaking flower crown. And that moment when a choice costs 20 and you just have 19? Sucking it like the cheapskate and in-game bummer I am, MC calls it off. Everyone in the room is upset, even the albino guy in the tuxedo of all things.
But hey, new backgrounds of the theme park is awesome. Isa was a bit salty on her disappointment (at this point, Isa, you could plan your ownā¦), but she hopes highly of MC to coordinate the bridal party outfits. And like the Dating Game, three eligible bachelors stand quite beside MC including Austin for some reason. I guess through Ethan. Does anyone remember if Isa and Zoe have jobs? Anyways, make it four as Noah texts (or snaps?) MC thinking of her. Iāve actually almost choked, or whatever that gesture is. Quit reminding me of my convoluted pentagon!
Luckily, Isa pulled me aside of some much needed although short girl talk, and finally I get to see MCās thoughts about each guy, excluding Noah. Something I honestly needed actually, along with that āOh this is getting goodā animation. And surprisingly, MC had nothing bad enough to say about Austin, maybe because earlier I chose to mention how I was interested in Austin, but letās avoid that. Isa meanwhile is strangely stressed from wedding planning, but essentially she gives the push on making my decision soon, delightfully reminding me that I donāt need to think about the long-term. I thought this implied that the end of Love Life would come, but no she was talking about as a date later tonight. So then I choseā¦ Liam. I donāt know, Iām at a romance drought and I just want to find an oasis somewhere, even if it would be a mirage. Good thing thereās finally a nice subtle surprised emote.
Side-note, I was curious to know what happens if I chose Noah, would he actually be in the party, because either way choosing the others he would not be there!
Liam says sappy stuff about whatever I choose heāll still like MC, and the Carnival Barker is wearing the same tux top as the albino fellow. But seriously, I need gems to use Loverās Hour with Liam, I think itās kinda a given. But no, we return to find the gang after choosing no. You know was though, Isa and Viper talking about wedding plans. Point is, they are going to elope with the rest to Las Vegas.
Stay tuned for the periodic release of my rambles! This being weirdly my longest yet.
Anyone curious to know what a romphim is, be my guest:
Just realised from this screenshot doesnāt actually show the extent of cleavage in this thing.
Your summaries are the reason I keep coming back to this thread (post? topic?). Anyway, I was kinda surprised you picked Liam because in the previous summaries you kept mentioning Austin .
