Okay, picture this. You're suddenly in a dating sim. Wild, right? And you're supposed to woo some sparkly-eyed dude with a perfect jawline.
But here's my super unpopular opinion: I'd ditch Leon. Sorry, not sorry.
The Appeal of the "Wife"
Let's be real. Who's actually holding down the fort in these games? It's the childhood friend turned supportive pillar. The quiet one baking cookies and offering insightful advice.
We're talking about the "wife" character. She's usually overlooked. Yet, she possesses serious skills.
She's got the emotional intelligence of a therapist. She also has the cooking skills of a Michelin-star chef. Plus, she can probably sew you a new outfit for that ball you forgot about.
Practicality Over Prince Charming
Hear me out. Leon might be a prince or a duke. Great. What are his actual life skills besides inheriting things?
The "wife" likely knows how to mend a fence. She's skilled in bartering at the local market. Essential survival skills! Who are you going to call when the apocalypse hits?
Besides, royalty comes with baggage. Endless political intrigue and arranged marriages? I'd rather have a homemade pie, thanks.
The Underdog Advantage
Think about it. Everyone's chasing after Leon. So, the "wife" is often overlooked. This presents an opportunity.
She's probably not used to genuine affection. Imagine the glow-up when someone actually appreciates her homemade jam!
Building a relationship based on mutual respect and shared interests? Sign me up! It's better than chasing after someone whose head is already three sizes too big.
The Potential for Epic Romance
Okay, so maybe the "wife" isn't traditionally "romantic." But who defines romance anyway?
Isn't there something incredibly romantic about building a life with someone? A life built on trust, support, and shared dreams. Not just a whirlwind of balls and stolen kisses in the garden.
Imagine the story! You defied expectations. You chose the unexpected path. You uncovered the hidden gem right under everyone's noses.
You rescued the "wife" from her supportive, yet ultimately unfulfilled, role. You gave her the love and attention she deserved.
Unlocking Hidden Depths
Dating sim "wives" are often full of surprises. They might have hidden talents. Maybe they're secretly amazing at sword fighting. Or perhaps they are dabbling in forbidden magic.
Leon? He's probably just good at polo. And brooding dramatically.
Give me a strong, capable woman with hidden depths over a pampered prince any day. I'd rather be with a person who can slay dragons, metaphorically or literally.
So next time you get trapped in a dating sim, remember this. Consider skipping the obvious choice.
Look a little closer at the supportive "wife". She might just be the love of your (virtual) life. You will never know without giving her a shot.
Besides, who needs a prince when you can have a queen?
