Saw a post going around about Legend & Lattes, talking about its genre of origin and how skill progression is a staple of it, but then L&L swaps out "You gained the Extra Cool Murder Skill!" with "You gained scones!" and that's why it's so "painfully boring"

No hate to that post, they're having fun nagging and God knows I have fun nagging, which is why I'm doing this on my own post rather than pooping on their fun, LOL

But I gotta say. I think they're underestimating the existence of a crowd that genuinely prefers scones to the Extra Cool Murder Skill. Have they ever heard of Stardew Valley?.

#my complain with L&L was entirely different #in that I don't actually like 'ancient society invents modern thing!'#I think it's patronizing unoriginal and also boring #why do I care about scones in my medieval fantasy setting? I HAVE scones!#I want to read about what the medieval fantasy setting folks would've been eating!#I want Mrs. Crocombe not Modern AU.#it just takes me out of the setting. I find it a boring easy alternative to historical research.#but the progression aspect of the book? was one of my favorite parts.#I AM actually hyped that they unlocked a new pastry.#I am much more interested in unlocking a new pastry than new murder skill.#that's why my Stardew is modded to make fighting stupid easy and farming harder :)
