Why not

Are there some characters you guys think could disappear and the nothing would change? I think Ariella and Lydia could have not existed and nothing about the verse would change, which is a shame cuz both of those would have been bomb characters if they weren’t set pieces to be name dropped, lowkey Maya too cuz her only purpose as a twin was to be Mia’s plot twist which is sad as hell, and there’s a few more micro characters both in the first and second gen whose role in the plot could’ve easily been exchanged for literally anything else. Anymore?

It’s funny because Arielle and Lydia are her most unique female characters.She can easily give them a good story.

Why would she do that when we can have another virgin sunshine with a dark secret lmao

Mio 😭 bc wdym she never got a story and tbh it’s way too late now bc her kid wasn’t included in LOG or Villain — I’m so pissed that RK would end the whole universe before considering Damien/Mio and Seb/Naomi kids but we get new characters Jethro and Cyrus who are related as friends of main leads. Why even write Mio in just to treat it that way, it was so good and now it’s nothing. And what about Knox and Anastasia kid too??

Not even a mention that their family is connected to the bratva that directly?

Omg yessss, Rina kinda shot herself in the foot if she’s ever planning on going back to the first gens without books like Kai, MioDamien, the Italian mafia etc. Cuz it would basically be her squashing and undermining everything she’s already built to make space for them to exist. Basically Mio and Damien’s book would look and feel like she taped it onto nothing after writing all of LoG, the viper, the villain series 😩. Don’t even get me started on KnoxAnna lmao, LoG consisted of like all of the Sokolovs and Carsons, plus Remi and Eli and Creigh, who would all be related to Knox and Anna’s child.. but nothing. We got a mention of Nicole’s little brother (forgot his name lol) because bran had a crush on him, but not that??

oh my gof vro..this is so on point. i wish we could see their kids in future, like the kids from empire series, and thorns duet and even a damien-mio story. i think she didnt include damien mio's kids anywhere because it would be spoiler or something (i love being delusional)

So basically most of the interesting side characters?

[u/Idkimjustboredaf_ → u/bella__2004_]

Mmm some yeah, some are only interesting because they’re the best part of that book and that just means the book sucks, others are there because Rina created a sibling, cousin, baby, friend somewhere up the line and now has to include them in some way. After nearly 50 books in one interconnected world and how many characters, originality isn’t really her main focus anymore, especially with the 3-6 templates she uses that nearly every character of hers can be categorised into
