>>54364713>what's been grating on me lately in fics is the forced inclusion of Sabrina/Whitney. I think I have to blame Hard Enough for this one, seems like an easy ticket to success is to write a 'tie-in' or 'inspired by' to it and you're golden.Hard Enough doesn't mention Whitney at all.
Sabrina tho i'm 50/50 on.
In S1 Sabrina was supposed to travel with Ash& co. being the one who stops Brocks advancements.
That combined with their family lives guaranteeing their foreveralone status actually makes SabrinaXBrock a good match.
It's well written and their relationship back and forth goes well with the plot (the author is married so he doesn't write like a turbo virgin).
Other authors shoehorn her everywhere as a rival/love interrest while being anachronistic (for example plot takes place 2 decades earlier but she shows up out of nowhere despite not being born yet).
Hard enough does well on worldbuilding too.
I.e. regions are sealed off due to routes being destroyed/disrupted/political isolaton with the scarse vaguely scientific records not being widely availible due to censorship.
I hope he delves into the other game MCs showing up.
Big hopes for Brendan already being 17 and ready to kick Steven down.
Maybe throw in a "fellow reincarnator from our world" plot to show the MC isn't the only special snowflake around and throw around some ATLA refferences.
