Survey results for Gray's MC (Patreon)

Well, that's certainly a divide. Thank you everyone for filling out the survey and letting me know your thoughts (I know it isn't always easy to voice your thoughts on Discord if you're too shy!). You can still vote if you haven't already. I'm just going to talk about the current results.

The results of the survey is basically split (I grouped it into fierce/kind players), which puts me in a conflicted spot.

Aiden and Gray are supposed to be opposite routes of each other. With Aiden you have an MC that is dominant and Aiden loves it when MC takes charge.

Then there's Gray, who is the dominant one instead. However, that doesn't necessarily mean players would like MC to be the opposite. One of Tailor Tales' allure is the fact you can be a bold lady who doesn't get shy or flustered, so the playerbase already skews towards this preference.

That doesn't mean the players who prefer to play as a shy MC don't exist. It would make sense that if Aiden's MC is outspoken, that Gray's MC would be the opposite.

However, I personally struggle really hard writing shy and demure MCs, especially when pairing it with a flirty love interest (I could write it when paired with another LI!). You could say it's my kryptonite. The only way you're getting such a route out of me, is if someone else writes it, hah.

A lot of the comments mentioned not wanting to play as a shy MC, as they are tired of seeing them in otome games where this is kind of the default. They don't want to freak out if the LI flirts, or be clueless about love and sex.

However, there are still comments that say they'd like a really kind and demure MC!

In the end, I can't please everyone, but I will keep in mind that there's players out there that would prefer to act shy. Gray's MC will most likely be a bit of a tsundere, where the kind options can make her flustered or shy. I think that's the best I can do in this situation :)
