is this still being worked on? the whole premise sounds rly interesting, hope ur doing well :)

yep, though still struggling with time management a bit 😵‍💫

which is kinda frustrating to me too, cause the chapter is nearly finished, but progressing so slowly 🥴 I’ve started coddling it whenever I get some free time at the laptop 💪🏻

[monster-match-if]

So if we ignore the sex pollen then they are relatively tame.

Is dub-con like someone's body reacting to a feeling but there mind isn't reacting the same to how their body feels. Your body wants it but your mind doesn't?

It only took me like 3 and a half months to answer this :)) I obviously don't remember who this was about, but generally none of the ROs will do anything to hurt the MC too much the sex pollen is considered dub-con since, the body needs release, but maybe MC didn't want it then are there, maybe not on the show, maybe not with that person. It's not such a clean separation between body and mind. It's more of, after the fact, maybe there's some regret... or maybe there is none and MC will ask where can someone acquire such a plant for a round 2 :)) There will be another instance that's even more dubious than the sex pollen :)) but I think I'll just write the trigger warning before the option even if it breaks away from the game a bit.

[monster-match-if]

So to make sure i'm following. Will a body be found? And if yes, does the MC find it?

yes and yes well, there won't be much of a body left... and it's going to be more than one... but generally yeah.

And, no, none of the ROs is the killer, as much as I like the idea of bloodthirsty killers in the streets, loving monsters in the sheets.

Hello!

Your IF sounds very interesting and I can't wait to couple up with Ragnar! I do have a question about it though. I read that you put him in as partial RO because we have to lock into his route pretty early and we can't cheat with the other RO but what if the mc personality is a flirty one? Is that not possible with Ragnar? Does it means that we can only play as a shy mc? Or we can be flirty but only with Ragnar and stoic or just nice with the other RO?

Ps. Sorry for the long ask🙈

Hey! 🤗Happy you like the concept so far!💕 This is an interesting ask. MC can be flirty, but I think I will limit/punish the options to go wild. As in... it would be kinda weird to lock the romance, want to form a bond with Ragnar and then go kiss others under the guise of OMG it was just a challenge/game. Even if/when MC will be forced to coupled up with someone else, the idea is that both are waiting to get back together, not get cozy with someone new. If not, Ragnar will not want anything to do with MC anymore. But otherwise, MC can joke around, drink, swim, dance and generally have fun with the others. Just nothing that would be considered cheating in a normal relationship (kissing, grinding on :)) obviously, I hope, fucking is a dealbreaker) He won't go ballistic if MC touched someone's arm a second too long, but he will calmly and swiftly break up with MC if they sneak and fool around. Hope this makes sense :)) I already have the scenes that can break the romance in mind, so don't know how clear this is without them and I don't want to spoil too much yet.

hi i was just wondering what species is mc? why no nonbinary options? & why aren't all contestants ro options?

I just realized I have 20 something unanswered asks here 😵‍💫🥴 MC can have custom pronouns, I answered a bit more here. But keep in mind the verbs will not be set to plural for they/them. This is purely for my sanity and lack of time to code. I barely have time to write as it is. MC can only have male or female body, again, just because coding a mix and match will take me longer to code. MC is human. mostly Will be able to turn into a vampire/werewolf, but it will probably be very late in the game. why aren't all contestants ROs... cause I have other plans for them 😂none of which is good💀 Also because realistically, it would have taken me forever to write so many RO routes. but also because I need people to kill hehe

[monster-match-if]

Hi hi! Been a little while so just wanted to check on you and see how things are going ^^ And also to ask if the demo is still in the works?

Hey 😊

Still here, still working on the game slowly 🦥 Won't promise a release date, but chapter 1 is mostly done ✅

[monster-match-if]

Do the Ros want to have children and get married?

Marriage:

Morgan - is 348 years old, had been married before, didn’t care too much for the silly paper back then either. Would do it if it meant a lot to mc… Eli - really wants to, in their elven tradition - mates keep in mind it’s for life Ragnar - has a vision of how the wedding would look like already Blake - eh… if they must… if MC really wanted to and it gave them a sense of security in the relationship. Would be enticed by the party! Kitai - would like to, it would make it even better if their grandma got to see the wedding too. Fion - doesn’t believe in marriage, would prefer not to, but once/if the paper is signed they will actually find a weird comfort in it. Sei - doesn’t particularly care for the piece of paper at first, but if MC suggests it, or he sees something to spark his interest…  a way to formally claim MC as his? Tempting! Wouldn’t mind if it didn’t happen though MC is his anyway I just answered the children thing, but here it is again for easier reference:

Morgan - not particularly, but wouldn’t be opposed to it with the right person Eli - yes, at least one heir Ragnar - yes! Blake - would prefer not to, doesn't think they’ll be a good parent And they’re probably right Kitai - would like one or two, but not a dealbreaker if MC doesn’t want any Fion - a bit traumatised by their family, would require a lot of convincing, but secretly wants a loving family not like the one they grew up with Sei - eventually, maybe, but not a priority and only if MC really wants one

[monster-match-if]

Can I ask what the ROs are like? As people I mean, like personalities, hobbies, if their different in a private setting rather than a public one, etc

And maybe if it's not too much, if they have possible preferences for a partner? Personality or otherwise

OH family is probably important too so I'd like to know that as well please, thank you

These are a lot of questions😅I'm actually making a little RO Character Profile in game where you'll be able to read more about the ROs and some of the other cast members. I'm copying some of the stuff I've written so far, thought not all of them are hobbies. sneak peek and answers below the cut cause it got long

Morgan  At best: charming, confident, perceptive, intelligent, funny At worst: egocentric, unreliable Likes: expensive champagne, classy luxury, old vampire movies

Eli At best: loyal, honest, friendly, kind, dependable  At worst: anxious, envious Likes: woodcarving, procrastinating, pedantic books about nature and history

Ragnar At best: protective, warm, empathetic, passionate, faithful, At worst: possessive, overprotective. Likes: BBQs, the great outdoors, working on his vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycle, working on his cottage 

Blake At best: sensual, curious, adventurous, charming, spontaneous, funny At worst: distrustful, impatient Likes: parties, reality TV shows, music

Kitai At best: supportive, kind, empathetic, generous, loving At worst: nihilistic, insecure Likes: painting, origami, video games, sci-fi

Fion At best: brave, focused, loving, practical, energetic At worst: trouble-seeking, belligerent Likes: gardening seaweed and kelp, cleaning plastic from the ocean, getting high on puffer fish

Sei At best: assertive, loyal, reliable, mysterious, passionate  At worst: arrogant, possessive, judging Likes: being prepared, human documentaries and biographies, reading anything with a good plot

Sei is probably the only one that acts differently in front of the camera than in private - bringing out more of that inner alure and his Host voice, but is rather calm and stoic in private. Morgan and Blake might be a bit less extravagant, less flirty all the time in private, but it's not a big difference. Fion is a firecraker all round. will express their feeling easier in private. One might not see it on their face is something ever offended them. Eli, Kitai, Ragnar all basically wear their hears on their sleeves.

Preference in partners… Well Ragnar obviously wants a family oriented, loyal woman. For the others, they don’t have super specific things, love is blind and all that.  Morgan I imagine would not particularly want a complete slob as a partner, at least for more fancy events. Doesn't have to be full formal attire, but at least not a mustard covered shirt.  Blake just wants someone who will not criticise them for their lifestyle and would potentially want a partner that would want to join them at least on occasion on their escapades. Eli and Kitai just want to be loved and respected by their respective partners😅everything else is a bonus. Fion - someone who’s into tentacle stuff, lol. Would prefer someone who doesn't fear the ocean, at least when they’re together, and who would join them for various underwater activities. Sei - someone who is just his.

Family... Morgan - their Maker and a few vampiric siblings.  Great (times 15) grand-niece they kept track of. Eli - parents - gets along well enough with them, even if they're a little overbearing. Ragnar - parents and an older sister. Blake - none, but they consider all incubi siblings in a way. Kitai - a loving grandmother. Fion - 17 younger half siblings between their separated parents. Gets along with absolutely none of them. Sei - he’s got family out there somewhere, but I imagine nagas being pretty solitary creatures outside their couples. He’ll expect any future children to move out quite soon (with help ofc if needed) and will never be one of those implicated parents. Will adjust a bit after MC for some stuff, visits, calls, holidays spent together, but will never coddle or be a helicopter parent.

I just realised you might have meant if they want a family, not if they had any 😅 Morgan - not particularly, but wouldn’t be opposed to it with the right person Eli - yes, at least one heir Ragnar - yes! Blake - would prefer not to, doesn't think they’ll be a good parent And they’re probably right Kitai - would like one or two, but not a dealbreaker if MC doesn’t want any Fion - a bit traumatised by their family, would require a lot of convincing, but secretly wants a loving family not like the one they grew up with Sei - eventually, maybe, but not a priority and only if MC really wants one

I'm just gonna get this 'erm actually' Pitts the way so, ahem

Ermmm ACTually male snakes can't lay eggs l, course Sei is a Naga so u can just veto that fact but that does make me curious about what these things are???

Like is it a standard snake egg? Some kinda alien goo egg? Shit if this is gonna be part of sex might as well know what ur sticking uo ur ass

And not to be absolutely rancid, but can you imagine being a hatchling of Naga parents and somehow you learn that when you were an egg, you were basically used as a sex toy, horrible thing to come to terms with

This one made me laugh, don't know why exactly😂 And well yes, actual male snakes don't lay eggs, but I also don't think I've ever read a male naga fiction without it. I'm actually not sure where/how in the monster fucker community this started, but I think it's pretty standard? Do correct me if I'm wrong and I somehow ended on the weird(er) side of the internet yet again 🤣But I always thought one🍆was for sending in the eggs and the second 🍆 was to fertilize them... in monster fucker naga lore. That being said, I was contemplating if I should also make the cecaeilia be able to pop eggs into MC as well🤣🤣and like, behind the tentacles they could actually swap genitals at will so no one is left out... I'm over complicating the code...as always... What I have in mind is more alien than actual octopi biology. And hmm I guess the eggs too are more alien-esque than actual eggs. Like, I've been picturing them softer when they go in and hardening in time for when they have to come out. They also quite easily pop right out without anything to... plug them in, so it's not really like in humans, oops we didn't use protection, now you're pregnant. There will be no hatching of anything in game. There might be just something wrong with me, but I don't find it all that different from human sperm😅as in we (generally speaking) don't treat it as a potential baby, just one part of the puzzle, if that at all

[monster-match-if]

How would you rank the ROs as being the most to least red flag.

This is more a... red flag potential scale: Sei & Fion > Morgan > Blake > Ragnar > Eli & Kitai But honestly the differences are not that bad between them, and it probably depends on what everyone is into. Like if you skip the slight dub-con Sei might just be on the same level with Ragnar. Same for Fion, if you skip the dub-con and if you're into foursomes... they're pretty chill. Morgan and Blake might be redder flags for some things actually... Eli & Kitai are just all around wholesome.

[monster-match-if]

how are all of the RO's SO tall. oh my god. the "short" one's taller variation (male, i presume? the way its formatted implies the opposite but i don't think that's right,) is 5'11". what in the world is this nonsense. the shortest character is multiple inches taller than the world average in either gender variant. authors can't keep getting away with this blatant height inflation. i am Protesting.

(i say this with so much love and respect but also the deepest of rage. i have made my peace with being relatively short but i will not stand by this disgrace.)

haha I was low key hoping no one would call me out on this 🤣 In my defense, the ROs are not human, so you know... monsters are just a little taller than our average humans. But also, 5'11 is average somewhere in the world, probably, maybe Denmark or some other Nordic country.

But to be fair, this is 100% a me thing😂 It's like a little stab to the heart when I find IFs where I'm a head taller than all the ROs except one, who's usually the one that I don't like anyway 🥲I read them anyway, but it brings something out of me🥴 And like... I don't know where y'all live and what the average heights are there, but... I might have a distorted view on heights as well. my now husband is actually 6'9. I was admiring his long legs just last night.

[monster-match-if]

What are the mechanisms for vampires and for werewolves to turn people in this world? Is accidental turning possible (not necessarily in the game, but in general)?

So, for werewolves I pictured the classic bite that tuns you. For vampires I wanted it to be a double feat, of having to both be bitten and drinking their blood at the same-ish time. In game neither will ever be accidental.

Vampires are not undead in this game, so MC doesn't need to die in order to turn, just have a mix of venom and blood in their system that will slowly change their body, like fully transform in about a day. For werewolves, it will be a bit faster, an hour or so. In general, I imagine it would be easier for a werewolf to just accidentally bite someone. For vampires less so, the effect of one option would fade in a matter of minutes to about an hour depending on how strong the vampire is, but still not impossible, if maybe the partner drank the blood first, then the vamp couldn't resist a bite of their own.

[monster-match-if]

How obvious will the drugging stuff be to us (not MC just to the viewer) and will MC also know when someone is trying to drug them. I can imagine my MC not ingesting anything Blake would give to them. Like no, no, no I know what you are trying to do you little lusty demon.

I want to make it super obvious to the reader at least in case some things are too much for anyone, but some of them will be obvious to MC as well. Most ROs will just ask in game if the MC wants to try it out. I'll add a Trigger Warning for the reader under the choice for the sex pollen thing, since this one might be less clear for MC. The 2 ROs I have marked as more non-con are Fion (cecaelia) and Sei (naga), but these will also be super obvious to the reader and will be interpreted as MC being into it.

For Blake, they don't need to make MC ingest anything, it's a touch thing they can use or not at will🤭But despite being an actual lust demon, they'll always be upfront with MC, they want MC's desire to be as real as possible it tastes the best that way.

There is one thing that I'm not sure how to tackle, but also I don't want to say anything about it yet. Trigger warning it would spoil the reveal, but... not doing it feels really, really wrong. It's in chapter 17 (week 3) so there's still quite a bit until then, and maybe it will be obvious what is happening on the island by that point and I can just add a warning without spoiling much. Worst case, I add the tw anyway and give y'all as readers a heads up on what is happening without MC or the ROs being completely aware of it yet.

[monster-match-if]

Is Blake the most likely RO to kill us because of the life sucking part?

Hmm not really, they have a good control of their power. The issue is they can't survive with just MC without eventually killing them. It would take MC longer to regain their energy than Blake needs to feed, it's not enough for them to only feed on MC forever. None of the ROs will put MC's life in danger. Though... if I had to pick, Fion might be more likely to accidentally drown MC a little without realizing it while fucking them underwater 🙈

[monster-match-if]

Hey, hey!

I wanted to say that I loved what you've done so far, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!! 😊😊

And if you don't mind, I wanted to ask you a few questions:

1- Will there be poly routes or love triangles?

2- In the Fionnlagh/Fion description, what does "foursome options" mean? (my English is kinda bad so I couldn't understand, sorry 😥)

Hey^^ glad you like the concept so far!💕 1. Full poly routes, no. just some opportunities to hook up with multiple ROs at the same time - between Morgana, Blake and Fion probably. 2. Foursome, as in you'll have the choice to hook up with Fion and 2 other people at the same time - a 4 person spicy scene, Fion + MC + 2 others, depending if MC is coupled up with Fion or someone else. If MC is coupled up with a different RO, the foursome will be with MC's parter and Fion's. If MC is coupled up with Fion, it will be with another couple. Ragnar and Sei are excluded from any and all multiple partner stuff. Let me know if this is still confusing. the foursome options will be fun to code 😅

[monster-match-if]

This may sound strange but i find it personally relaxing to play with the hair of my partner/friend/etc. and i noticed that a few ros have longer hair, so i would like to ask:

Who would be okay, with an mc that is often subconsciously playing with their partners hair, and who would let mc maybe braid or do something with their hair? Looking at Sei with hopeful eyes

Huh... I gave almost all of them longer hair... Can't tell if it's a me thing, or just how fantasy usually portrays them...

I think Morgan (vampire) would be the only one more particular about this and only enjoy MC messing with their hair on lazy mornings or during intimate times. M!Morgan has short hair, so no braids, but F!Morgan would find it cute. When they're out and about their hair will be stylish and expertly done and no one should touch it.

Everyone else would find it relaxing, and Eli (elf) and Fion (cecaelia) would LOVE for MC to braid their hair and keep the braids in for as long as possible. Both would also love to braid MC's hair back. Sei (naga) would also enjoy it, but more in a private setting, his tail curled around MC like a nest, and have MC play and braid his hair. Depending on the style, he might keep it if MC pouts, but he has an image to uphold as Host. Kitai (kitsune) loves everything MC does, so this would be included 🤭 but it's not something they are specifically looking for. Their hair is usually just let down or in a high ponytail, something quick and efficient. Blake (incubi) has short curly hair, so not a lot of braid material, but doesn't mind if MC plays with their hair. Ragnar's (werewolf) hair falls just below his collarbone and loves any kind of head massages and playing with his hair. He usually just keeps it in a quick messy bun, but would enjoy it if MC wanted to do something with it.

[monster-match-if]

Well I would just start bitching about the werewolf just being available for F!MC's (it was because of the knot) , but there's also a naga with 2 🍆 and the eggpreg thing that got me intrigued, sooo I'm just gonna shut up and let u do your stuff

Glad I could appease everyone just a bit 🤭 Would it help even more if said naga used his tail as a plug to keep the eggs in?
