I love this game overall, it has a good plot, good characters that grow and it's basically like the Cinderella story but at the same time nothing like the Cinderella story

But I have to say, Delora is arguably the worst character, what I mean by that is, she's really mean. first she has the audacity to say "you're heartless" despite knowing how neglected she felt and how justified her attitude is, she's mostly raised by her mother for god's sake! And her Mother wasn't really a god example for a child to follow either! She felt her mother was the only person that loved her and felt like even her own father didn't want her and treasured his step children more then he cared about his blood related daughter, DO YOU KNOW HOW BETRAYED SHE MUST'VE FELT? And I lost my mind the second she said "Cursing you was the only way" OR SOME BULL CRAP, YOU WERE A TALKING DOLL, YOU COULD'VE SAID SOMETHING LIKE "If you keep acting like this you don't know what bad things might happen" AND MAKE SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN AND TELL HER THIS EVERY NIGHT SO SHE FEELS PARANOID INTO DOING SOMETHING GOOD, LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FRICKING TAKE HER WHOLE LIFE AWAY, THAT'S FRICKING MESSED UP MAN, THOUGH NEITHER IS MAKING HER PARANOID BUT I'D DO AT LEAST SOMETHING ELSE

And saying Delora is the worst is just an opinion, I just don't...like her, she just makes me uncomfortable I guess

Excuse me, that's all

Edit: Did I actually say that? I do think Delora is rude and didn't need to take her whole life away but what I said is phycological torture, What the heck was I on???

Lol, to be honest, your scenario of what Delora could have done instead (telling Lucette bad things will happen if she doesn't change, then orchestrating said bad things, and doing this repeatedly every night, making her paranoid) is way worse--that's straight-up psychological torture/warfare 😂

Meanwhile, there's precedent in actual fairy tales for curses to have been used to teach people lessons to help them change, which Delora even mentions in the story 😅

I admit that in the early routes (Rod, Karma, Rumpel) you don't see as much of her so you mostly get her mean comments, but she's also trying to play "bad-cop" to Parfait's "good-cop" in order to prompt/goad Lucette into changing, and her relationship with Lucette progresses much more than that in Fritz's and Waltz's routes.

Therefore, I don't think it can be reasonably said that Delora is worse than Lucette's mother, who literally murders people (including Delora's daughter, who was a young child) and brainwashed and abused her own child 😕

I never said Delora is worst than Lucette's Mother, Hildry is way worse. I'm sorry that you misunderstood, I meant that Lucette is clearly trying to follow her Mother which isn't good and has personal trauma I guess

Ah, gotcha, I guess I took "arguably the worst character" a bit too literally 😅

And yes, 100% agree with you on the bit about Lucette imitating her Mother due to personal trauma (and brainwashing and magical memory wipes). I guess my disagreement is that while I don't deny that Delora can be mean and harsh at times, especially in the early routes, I would NOT say it makes her a terrible character. It's my perspective that this is a somewhat intentional part of their strategy to change Lucette--Delora plays "bad cop" to goad/anger Lucette and Parfait plays "good cop" to even this out.

Lol, and I definitely stand by my thought that your alternative for how Delora could have handled Lucette is WAY worse than what she actually did 😂😂😂. I'll take some petty/occasionally actually hurtful comments over psychological torture 😜
