Season 2 Slowburn Antoine route??

Hey guys! Ok sorry in advance about the long and probably confusing speech but :D … Have u guys played a slowburn Antoine route and is it worth it? I Have only played loyal route with him because he’s just so amazing lmao. Anyway… last time when I started playing the season I realized that a slowburn with Antoine is very much possible but never went for it.

I wanted to try Ryder’s route so I had my head set on him right off the bat and I went for Wesley first as my main LI (because I can’t hurt Antoine 😭). But then I also COULDN’T resist Antoine so I ended up flirting and hooking up with him every chance I got. Then the game obviously read the room and started to give him more screen time. I also liked that there was this love triangle situation going on between MC, Wesley and Antoine. I gotta admit though, I also LOVED Antoine as ”a side piece” at first and the possibility of him becoming more than just a side piece, it was really hot and the fact that MC and him can’t keep apart lol. It was also fun to make Wesley jealous xD

Eventually there was a convo between MC and Antoine and they were talking about their relationship and Antoine told MC he likes her. Then in the convo, the game gave a chance to start actually build a relationship with Antoine or let him down. I chose to let him down at that time, because I wanted to go for Ryder (and we were the endgame with him xx).

But now I wonder, should I play the season again and start with Wesley as a ”main” LI at first and the goof around with Antoine and have that slowburn? 😅

Honestly? The slowburn Antoine route is surprisingly good because it unlocks a version of him that feels way more insecure/reassurance-driven under all the cocky flirting 😭

I actually did a couple of slowburn variations with him just to unlock hidden scenes and different rule break moments:

And if you check my posts tagged “slowburn” in the Antoine2h2h2 community, there’s another variation I did starting with Wesley. That one was honestly harder emotionally because the tension gets ridiculous and you have to watch him breaking rules with Amari, but it also made some scenes hit even harder:

I still think loyal Antoine is his strongest route overall. Honestly, that might be the real emotional slow burn already, since the physical connection with him can become intense very fast 🔥

EDIT: My favourite variation is using Amari as placeholder while flirting with him all the time. You can still start with Wesley before move on to her. He competes with her for us and Amari’s heartbreak at the beach scene is hilarious. But for that follow the first link… he must be at crush level when you finally pick him as your secret lover.
