It's funny how I found out about the univ series through this song in Spotify. Binged read all completed ones since then... and now even making an account for some thoughts :) congratulations!
What crappy publicity is this? Are u telling me the author enabled the overemphasis of a supposedly MINOR ARC in TRIE & let Sevi get a 2nd lead? Kala ko hindi, kaya CITW was heavily edited? Or are these artists mindlessly slandering the characters? Which is which bec I’m TIRED
@gnehs1721 Yes, kaso TRIE book itself has minimal presence of Arkin so ig kaya ganun yung cast. For me it’s more on how the plot was laid out lang talaga, na umpisa pa lang binuild up na talaga si Sevi as THE guy best friend of all tapos Arkin’s more built as Via’s half/Sevi’s best friend
Also Arkin not getting casted despite supposedly being part of the squad brings more weight to my opinion that he’s written just to be Via’s half while Sevi gets all the hype to be THE best boy of the squad… to the point of losing his unique identity as a partner 🧐
@yeonilogs Yup, it was the 1st of her series so it’s understandable that there were some plot loopholes. Kaso, movie viewers can be different from book readers/areums, so my only hope is that mabuo pa rin yung kwento without forgetting Arkin as squad and without forcing a 2nd lead kay Sevi.
Notice how Arkin’s there only when it’s related to Via (& Sevi in CITW), but he has loose dynamics w/ the rest of the squad. Meanwhile Sevi’s pushed as THE best guy friend across books na halos same lang treatment nya w/ squad & Elyse, except the s3x… that’s just the plot 🤷🏻♀️

@raelleastrid With a lot disliking the male lead, mukhang marami ang pipiliin si Sevi so sana lang talaga they don’t force a cliché 2nd lead syndrome just for the sake of it
With no hint of Elyse in the TRIE movie adaptation (a sigh of relief tbh lol), fingers crossed they don’t put up a whole 2nd lead story for Sevi like I’m too tired & busy to go to war with luvi stans again pls 😆
Tho I get he doesn’t have major scenes in TRIE so he’s probably not casted but my point is more on how the characters & plot were all written in the first place… and the frustrations that come with it. Kbye lol
@karviels Actually yes, I don’t understand na since what if scenario naman sya, bakit may rules pa rin like the timeline, when in the first place completely off the orig plot naman na sya. Apektado din flow if itutuloy. Yun lang yung personal question ko. But ofc discretion ng author yun.
Huh I thought what-if scenarios are possible in univ drafts (for example lukal not breaking up) so why is it impossible for a baby girl camero? I’m genuinely confused?
@karviels Yun po yung point, idk why pwede mag what if scenario before, but for baby girl Camero suddenly there are things to consider like timeline. Eh what if scenario nga, na naging possible naman sa lukal?
@karviels Hello. Does it have to be a wwm session for a what-if chapter in the univ drafts to be possible? Hindi naman po issue yung pangbawi ng chapters or what, I just don’t get bakit hindi pwede magka baby girl Camero at all, even in the future? Unless finished book na ang univ drafts
And admit it or not, the root cause is the way he was depicted in TRIE esp in the Tagaytay timeline. Wala na magagawa cause this is published, but CITW could’ve been improved w/ added scenes of actual actions adult Sevi did to differentiate. Hindi yung sabi lang ni college Sevi
Won’t forget how Hiro & Shan were super friendly to their girl squad too, but u could clearly see their unique & special treatment to their partners ~aside from sex~. Adult Sevi, on the other hand, barely shows the difference of being THE boy best friend & Elyse’s partner 🥲
Been into other books these days and there hasn’t been another character whom I got to be attached with as I am with Elyse 😆 let’s see where this goes 🙈
