TRW Strips #110
Added 2023-12-05 06:26:20 +0000 UTCOnce again I'm concerned that Elianna, who is meant to be highly intelligent with a flawless academic record, is in danger of coming off as dumb/gullible. To me, it's an intelligence vs. wisdom sort of scenario. Like someone who is very book smart but also naive in a lot of ways. In any case I'm still enjoying the strip format to tell side stories, and this one is nearly complete! Let me know what you think if you would, and if there are any characters in particular you'd like to see stories about.

2023-12-08 05:53:04 +0000 UTCGood to hear it doesn't seem out of place! :)
Reinbach
2023-12-08 05:52:52 +0000 UTCIt isn't! But noted! XD

2023-12-08 05:52:06 +0000 UTCNoted! Incidentally more Abbey and the twins are on the way at the end of this chapter! :)

2023-12-08 05:50:31 +0000 UTCIn the context I imagine Chloe had to skip class to shower because she got up to something naughty between classes that may have gotten in her hair. XD
Reinbach
2023-12-08 05:49:51 +0000 UTCHey noted! This one's almost complete and I'm already jazzed for the next one. :)

2023-12-08 05:47:41 +0000 UTCThanks for the input! :)
Reinbach
2023-12-08 05:47:04 +0000 UTCYeah you're probably right. I try to make everything easy for newcomers to jump in on but with a 300+ page comic and a VN in the rearview that may be increasingly impossible to pull off.
Reinbach
2023-12-08 05:46:40 +0000 UTCChloe can be useful but it's always a surprise when it happens! XD

2023-12-08 05:45:17 +0000 UTCXD

2023-12-08 05:44:56 +0000 UTCGood to hear it came off naturally, thanks!

2023-12-08 05:44:51 +0000 UTCInteresting take, thanks for sharing! :)

2023-12-08 05:43:45 +0000 UTCLovely not-so-subtle titty rub!

2023-12-07 20:42:46 +0000 UTCI think it makes sense Elianna would get flustered here. That said though I feel like my "acceptance" meter for Elianna is starting to hit unsafe levels. She's just starting to feel like too much of a buzzkill and fun-spoiler. You may already have this all planned out with the strip club scene (which I'm very excited about). Love the comic regardless but just figured I'd give my two cents.

2023-12-05 18:02:44 +0000 UTCEven the smartest people can be fooled by someone telling them something they want to hear. That combined with the claim being somewhat plausible totally sells the reaction.
HungryOuroboros
2023-12-05 16:16:52 +0000 UTCWell makes perfect sense Chloe knowing exactly how to manipulate everyone as an extra perk of her spying. I think neither Elianna or Millie had a chance here, even being probably the two smartest characters.
Graci
2023-12-05 10:48:19 +0000 UTCPS I would like stories also about Millie and then also Miss Holt, and also Mandi, and they would hopefully be very naked like Chloe is here. I apologize if this information is shocking.
ScuzzBucket
2023-12-05 10:12:44 +0000 UTCoh my god Millie's sad FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!! It's too much! I need to throw my arms around her and ALSO tell her that I'm in love with her!
ScuzzBucket
2023-12-05 10:06:14 +0000 UTCI would love to see Abbey and the twins get up to more schemes in these strips since she's my favourite character and we don't get to see that dynamic too often.

2023-12-05 09:33:41 +0000 UTCI'm kind of concerned that students will skip class to take showers. Like, I expect them to skip class to have sex in the janitor's closet, but just to take a shower? It's not like Chloe was *expecting* Millie to show up; that wasn't planned. She was just taking a random ass shower. I'm starting to see where Ellie is coming from.

2023-12-05 09:15:34 +0000 UTCThese short stories are fun, as far as who I would like to see in this format, I would love to see more Kaidan. Or even a check in for my boy Isaac.

2023-12-05 08:06:07 +0000 UTCI don't think Elianna comes off as dumb. She just has buttons that a lot of her classmates know how to push. They know true love talk flusters her. Just like Derek was able to point out that a weakness in her presentations is that she's always talking down to people. She's not trying to win people over, so much as telling them they're stupid, and so should do what she says. Like you say, int vs wisdom. ;)
Dorian Alton
2023-12-05 07:43:24 +0000 UTCI think at a glance she can come across a little dumb/gullible but that's only in a total vacuum. Anyone who's familiar with her beyond this mini story arc almost certainly won't see it that way. This is probably one of those situations where you just have to trust in older content and people's willingness to remember stuff. Or to go back and reread it if they don't. At a certain point it's probably not worth worrying about how every single person might perceive things. Especially for a pretty well established character like Elianna.

2023-12-05 06:37:26 +0000 UTCElianna can be smart, and even wise/savvy, and still have blindspots. Kryptonite, even. This moment feels entirely belivable. Consistent. Given her love of anime, how can she not be weak to intense romantic display or exhortation. Even aroused by it, making her further uncomfortable and unable to reason.
GregD
2023-12-05 06:35:07 +0000 UTCI mean to me feels like chole is more like exploiting Elianna’s personal weakness. Like a personal example for me would be to get me on a nerd rage by disrepresenting something fundamentally simple even if I know the person is doing it on purpose or if someone tries to flash thier breasts at me I’d ethier get distracted or turn away in a panic. I think it’s one of Elianna’s cuter traits
Hooligan Mulligan
2023-12-05 06:32:50 +0000 UTCNo, she always had the "all int, with wis as a dump stat, feeling to me. And I love her reactions, especially in that strip xD So fun to see her get all blushy and stammering xD
Kherbellos
2023-12-05 06:29:01 +0000 UTCI'm loving the pushing of her buttons got to break Elianna
