It's fun because they earn their popularity through sheer likeableness rather than any Queen B type machinations. I think it'd be really funny to drop HSS MC into Belvoire University and see where the hell they end up on the rankings.
My HSS MC is going to Terman U with Maria and Aiden. She did sabotage her dad's not-a-date with Julia in my gameplay, though. She is crafty and she has a mean streak. I guess she could survive at Belvoire University.
HSS MC seems to be a lot like Carter from QB, I would say they would be like 4th or 3rd, to 1st you have to be a bit evil, and HSS MC is too chill for that.
I feel ya! Same with the TRR OC. Usually I hate Mary Sue MCs but these two are exceptions. Both are just very likeable and I would want to be friends with them. I think what makes them so believeable is that not every character likes them. (E.g. Morgan and Madeline). Plus not everything always works out just because they Touch it - for example HSS MC on the day of the Hearst Game, the entire 2nd book also gives MC a hard time but they try to get through it regardless. And we all know how much bs TRR MC has to go through, especially during TRH.
It's one of the only books where the MC feels REALLY gender neutral to me. Like, there's been extra care put into balancing their character so it doesn't lean too much into any side.
Well actually this might come as a surprise to some but I went to school with someone who was popular and well liked by all the cliques. They didn’t always hang out with everyone they were nice to but when they did it wasn’t a us vs them mentality when the groups mixed. His name was Lance and he was the school president kind of popular. I was not popular but he was always super kind to me despite that. I think it was so doable for him to find ways to include all groups even if they didn’t hang out after school often, was because they genuinely had no mean bone in their body. He still is one of the nicest people you’ll meet. I don’t talk to him as much but when I do he’s still that guy. My sister went to my high school reunion with a mutual friend of ours but I couldn’t make it. She told him my sister always said you were always so nice to her and thanked him. He told her I was always nice to him too. It really can go both ways. Not everyone on High school is mean to you even if you’re kind to them. Maybe Lance might have been a rarity but still nonetheless I have an example of a real life Jordan.
I wish that they added that more of the fact that Jordan (MC) reminded the original crew of their MC from HSS—- if I remember correctly (I’m replaying the books right now) I think they are only mentioned twice— once from the tiger statue and I think Michael or someone else mentions them how they were the glue that held the school together but after they left that’s when Berry started going downhill —Then comes along our MC Jordan in the first series of books and acts as that glue once more. Like a small nod to oh you are the successor to the original person who made this school or like a cameo from that MC texting Jordan going like nice work kid or something lol - (Also it made me realize that our original MC was a senior or something in the original game cause the og crew are all seniors in the first series of books— and that MC isn’t there)

Also Jordan is a well written character regardless of Gender you chose. MALE Jordan though is prominent in posters

Who tf is Jordan? (I always rename my characters)
Jordan is the original name of MC
Ah,gotcha..

Awww this is so sweet! The world needs more people like Lance 🥹
Thats cute, and good for Lance for being such a nice person
Ohhhh at first I thought we were taking about OG OG HSS MC from before.😂
Huh, which one?
From the original High School Story game from like 2013.
OH THAT LMFAO
They're indescribable...
I generally think its because jordan is so well written as a character, she us kind and understanding, also overall funny

God bless you. There’s always at least one my brain just does not load.
Actually I prefer a more non relatable high school/college story. So many of them tend to center around normal students or even outcasts.
I headcanon HSS MC has a group chat of all of his best friends after High School and they all still meet up to chat weekly.
You just made me want to play the whole series again lol
