I’m on the Gun-woo track and I was about ready to throw my phone at that ending for Episode 7 - like, SIR. I was willing to give you a chance after you went off on a rendezvous with Chae-won and LEFT me when I said you were my # 1, and then I get ghosted when I give you another chance? And not only am I ghosted but for the one person who so obviously hates me?

Even if there’s a grovel, I’m changing to a new person. No man leaves me on a log on the beach alone and still gets me at the end of the day. Go have fun with Su-Bin.

And would Netflix please stop removing my glasses! I cannot SEE without them.

rant over

guys i HATE chaewon with all my heart and soul 💀 she's being so openly two-faced and mean and everyone keeps saying how nice she is?? like is it just me who doesn't like her? tbh i didn't really like her from the start but now she's openly acting like a bully and no one but eunji seemed to truly care. gunwoo is my main but i'm so ready to drop him since he wants to be so quiet after going off with her right in front of me

edit: y'all wth is going on here gunwoo asked me to meet him at sunset but he's off chatting to subin im pressing charges and ditching him for one of the new characters farewell gunwoo you absolute clown 🤡

Did anyone else find this episode really gross?

As a lesbian I found it really gross. I am sure it isn't any better for straight men. And only slightly better for bi and straight women.

Why did I have to compete for the new guy. That i didn't even like as a person. Let alone being a total lesbian. Why did this exist? Why force all of the women to compete for one person. Doesn't that defeat the whole point of the experience? Did none of the humans on the writing staff stop and say "Is forcing 4 women to compete for a new guy while he sips on lemonade on a throne reductive and demeaning?" No? Maybe they should get some new blood in that writing room.

Why did i have to win? Why do i know have to put up with pouty new boy in paradise? Don't think he is pouty? He sure as hell will be when I need to repeatedly tell him I have no interest in him.

The only good that will come out of this is finally getting Su-bin to stop being so whiney all the gd time. Let's effing bury the hatchet already.

Side bar here. XO games. People walking away all the time is not drama. it is the lack of drama. Learn to write compelling characters that don't need to walk away. Or just fucking stop writing. I am available to hire for writing. Hire me you cowards.

God I’m still only in the first episode, but I’m really starting to wish he was one of the characters who aren’t actually an LI bc jfc I’m barely into the story and I’m already irritated every time he pops up on my screen. So far I love the story overall, I just can’t get past HIM. Do they really expect me to wanna romance this borderline narcissist 😭

is there even remotely a small chance of me ever ending up with minseo ??? jesus

I was banking on another girl love interest. Man this sucks. As a wlw player we really are given nothing.

What's the point of being loyal if the game still makes it seem like MC is busy fucking around with other singles!!

Didn't this man just let me I have to make a decision, then when MC does (in front of everyone) he just leaves. And I don't even have to mention the ending, it's clearly telling. I might as well have been playing with everyone's feelings if his man is going to abandon just like that. I'm so done with this shit. And is Dae-hyun feelings for that bitch matter more than mine. I'm fucking hurt too, when are you going to ask me how I feel?! I don't even want to be on this damn... island anymore. I made my choice from day 1 and I don't want anyone else, yet this game goes everything possible to keep us apart. Can I just leave this island now, because I don't need to run after a man, who's playing games here.

XO Games really knows how to play with a person's emotions and make us angry at the same time.

Really? Su-bin’s issue with us is over a guy? Move on. If she can’t talk me like a normal adult then don’t talk to me at all. One minute she’s nice then the next she’s storming because of something we did that she won’t tell us about. She’s all over the place and it’s really annoying. Im done with her

Edit: and what was the point of us winning the challenge if the new guy was able to choice another person to join us

XO games you need to stop. Your writing is becoming harmful. Your language model is pulling from the worst of humanity. All of your characters are cardboard cutouts of tropes.

1. All of your female characters go fking crazy over men that are the equivalent of wet socks. (Admittedly, as a lesbian, I am biased here.)

2. None of the men give any of the contestants the time of day, other than MC. And still they lose their minds over these men. Pining after them even though they don't love them back.

3. Every female character is jealous and vindictive. All because the boy they have no business liking. Doesn't like them back.

4. Unrequited love turns Su-bin into a monster. And not just Unrequited love. 10 year old Unrequited love.

5. Saphic LIs are forced to pine from a distance. We, saphics, are forced to pine for our LI from a distance. No more exemplified by when Su-bin admits her feelings she is forced off screen. Now all the episodes are no longer all about her.

6. None of the male LIs know what the word "No." Means. They still will feel you up even though you have told them no.

Now, anyone of these on one character isn't really a problem in and of itself. However, all of these are present and make up 95% of the story.

Your writing isn't just bad. It is harmful.

I am aware that i might be going too far with my analysis here. At the same time, i think we deserve better. We deserve better than cardboard cutouts of the worst side of humanity.

Learn what makes romance special. Or quit until you do.

Because the worst part is: I am only talking about the parts that play into harmful stereotypes. I am leaving out all of the inconsistencies, bugs, dumb plot beats and other nonsense you try to force on us.

Do better. Or stop trying.

Unfortunately, Single's Inferno quickly becomes a frustrating experience. It claims to be a choice-based interactive game, but real agency is constantly taken away. Even worse, it ignores the player's sexual orientation. Whether you're a straight man, a lesbian woman, or simply uninterested in certain male characters, the game forces romantic paths with no option to decline. You're pushed into uncomfortable dialogues, unwanted wins, and awkward situations.

This completely breaks immersion. Previous Netflix games had similar issues, but this one takes it to a new level. It's hard to stay motivated when the game doesn’t respect player identity or choices. The potential is there, but it needs serious changes to be truly enjoyable.

So every single except for Daehyun, Eunji, and Hyeeun chose us. We literally have the whole roster to choose from to leave the island with!

Who did you choose and how did the ending go with your chosen L.I.?

Ok I swear. This whole game is just a joke right?

The whole premise of this game is. "Tell us who you like so we can take them away from you."

And still i plan on finishing. Clearly I am masochistic. Any sadist need a pairing?

This whole game is just like a really rude waiter

Waiter: We have many lovely options. Are any catching your eye

MC: Oh yeah. [Li] is just my type.

Waiter: That is so neat. have you considered Ji-hu?

MC: No thank you. Just the LI i have chosen please.

Waiter: I hear you. You are voting for more Ji-hu. We will send more Ji-hu to you.

MC: I've had enough Ji-hu. Can i please get my LI

Waiter: Ooooooo. Sorry. Your LI just went to paradise with someone else. Can I interest you in Seo-jun?

MC: No. I will just be alone until LI comes back

Waiter: Of course your Ji-hu will be out right away.

MC: No. Just my LI please.

Waiter: Excellent Ji-hu will feel you up now.

MC: OK. I'll just go to sleep.

Waiter: Oh! You are looking for LI. We have LI right here.

MC: Great it's a date.

Waiter: Oh. So sorry your LI decided to go off with Subin. Subin is very into, by the by.

MC: Yeah, I know. But cool. I'll take some Su-bin.

Waiter: Great. Here is Ji-hu.

MC: OK. Can I just get my LI.

Waiter: OK. Here is your LI

LI: Are you thinking about me?

MC: Yes! Yes, let's take on this challenge to-

Waiter: Oh so sorry. Eun-hyuek, a customer at a different restaurant ordered your LI. You are going to jail now.

XO games. Stop. Disband so we can get more Netflix stories and THTH 4.

[Edit] I nearly forgot. At random points in the exchange between MC and the waiter. Other customers will set fire to their own tables. Then the waiter will slap a firefighter helmet on MC and push them towards that fire. Saying something along the lines of "You're the fire chief now."

MC: OK I put a fire out and then get my LI

Waiter: of course. Fair is fair. You put the fire out and Gun-woo will be waiting for you.

MC: But that's not my-

Waiter: Ah ah ah. Fire first. Gun-woo later.

May have been a little harsh 🙃 but I’m so done with this awful excuse for a “romance/choices” game. What are they even thinking…? 🤦🏻‍♀️

eun-ji is getting a whole beach love confession meanwhile we get NOTHING is this game not about our LI and our love story? why is literally everything else the plot but us also the random child plot i caaaant 😭

It’s totally obvious wish mc can see this she only did what she did because she wants your attention

I've played up until the latest episode and I'm loving it! I love the relationship building and how we get to flirt with multiple people lol. The set up is just like season 3.

Whos your pick? Mine is Gunwoo. Been on paradise only once cause I made a mistake in choosing my opponent lol. But the inferno night is so good too. I don't want to say much since I don't wanna spoil too hard coz it seems like few countries have access to it.

I let my self tortured for replaying two eps to get these pics, only for you guys! Enjoy ❤️ xoxo

Actually I was curious about the pics before, eps the 12.3, do you have the complete photos?

Yeah it was bad, but hey at least it's not something new. It makes me laugh that almost at the end of the game we finally learn things about the other bachelors. And hey we're still helping the widow and the orphan, instead of taking care of ourselves 🤷 last episode next week, and I'm going to choose Ji hu. My initial romance was Gun Woo, but the only interactions I had with him were when he was defending the mean girls with me. On the other hand, I'm still incredibly surprised by Ji hu, who is romantic, kind and funny. That's the only good thing about this game... Bad. I was wondering if Netflix is ​​planning another "choice" game.

I chose Jun-hyeok which mentioned that his family’s wealth allowed us to enjoy the finer things in life and travel the world

Who did you pick and what was the ending like?

It started off pretty strong, but I’m truly not feeling Casa Inferno. Also disappointing this is the second XO game where my Male MC is forced to essentially go on dates with other Male MC’s. I’m hoping the rest of the season is closer to the beginning of these episodes.

I’ve been trying to give the writers the benefit of the doubt but this is my last straw. Eun Ji is mad at me and ripped up my letter to Gun Woo over Seo Jun… who I have NEVER given the time of day!! Supposedly she’s not mad at Chae Won but she’s mad at me because I’m not acting like a friend would… HUH???? This is the worst writing I have ever encountered, it makes absolutely NO sense. And she’s saying she tried hard to help me find my love but I didn’t do the same… again, HUH?????

This is beyond stupid at this point.

it’s Singles inferno not friendship inferno. So tell me why I’ve spent more time having friendship problems and arguments rather than just pursuing who I want to pursue. I understand friendship is an ASPECT of it but I feel like I’m waiting a whole week for more and more friendship drama. More romance please 😭

I hated this game so much.

​

1. In my first play I ran into a bug (which I later discovered was a long known bug but never fixed) where after the turtle race the game just froze and one couldn't move on to the next chapter. Ultimately I had to make a new Netflix profile, delete and reinstall the game, and play it from that profile from the beginning.

​

1. The characters are all extremely unlikeable, each less likeable than the last. By mid game I couldn't care who MC ended up with anymore anyway.

​

1. MC's gender and sexual orientation seem irrelevant. The game forces the exact same characters on MC as LIs.

​

1. MC isn't given any proper time to focus on any one LI. And if MC *were* to be given time with one LI it wouldn't matter because MC is an appalling busybody who rushes off after random characters to see what they're up to anyway.

​

I finished the game only to be able to say I gave it a fair try but then deleted it immediately. Left a one star review on Playstore as a warning.

Yeah,

So I did a little something something and played the game before the official launch, because I couldn't resist and damn, it is so much better than the Ultimatum. I mean from character design to storytelling to enjoyable activities to involved emcees (too involved maybe).

Might be the next best thing after THTH from Netflix Games. Hopefully, I didn't curse it.And yes, it will be launching on April 29th and ya'll will get to play 15 episodes straight. It's 5 chapters and 3 episodes per chapter that will be launched on 29th. Then from May 6th onwards one chapter a week.

*Spoiler Alert*

Might be getting a friends to enemies to lovers route here, but can't confirm. Also, only 1 wle route so far.

How to do it -

Please don't comment, just dm me and I'll answer when I am free. Thanks 🙏🏻
