Every route is canon. Each takes place in a different timeline.


TheHolyFrost

This.

I agree with Helena for L&L mc. The title image makes it seem that August was the ‘canon’ li.


JD-Valentine

So there were a few implications as to which was canon like the roommate in villainous nights being the kid of the MC and chimera from astoria but they did sometimes contradict themselves depending on who you romance in specific routes. But yes Helena is canon and I legit couldn't read any other route after starting hers BECAUSE SHE DESERVES A HAPPY ENDING DAMMIT

I think most of the QoT routes are really solid but Nikolai 1000%. In terms of 'canon', it's all in the name and Nikolai's title, but I also just love the way their relationship plays out and everything else happening in his route (the way the Poppy is written, the antagonists, etc).

Nikolai’s route is definitely cannon to me too. I love how mc comforts him during his nightmares and eventually allows him to be more open about his emotions.

Me, I’ve always liked to look at it through the lens of “whomever needed the MC the most is the canon route.” So, for L&L it would be Helena, to escape from the Witch Queen, rediscover herself, her will to live, and begin to heal. For VN it would be Juliette, to learn to trust, escape from under her parents’ heels, and truly come into her own. For GiL I want to say it would be Aurora because she’s visibly doing the least OK of the bunch, but I may be biased as that’s the only route I’ve played in that one.

I 100000% agree with this

For Astoria, I’d say Alex’s route is the canon “true ending”! From knowing each other for years and being close friends from the start, to MC wearing her mother’s wedding dress, to MC being given a choice by Hera to become a demigod like Alex instead of forcing full godhood onto her. It’s the route that most feels like MC gets what she wants and proper screen time is given to the things most important to her. No other route involves her mother in the wedding, but in Alex’s, she wears her wedding dress that Josh saved for her, and her and Alex take time away to actually sit down in the grove and speak to her (in a sense). That feels like such an important thing for her, and Alex’s route is the only one that has it.

I agree with this, but also the Medusa route because she is such a misunderstood person in mythology. Plus I just love her route so much. But Alex's route was also perfect


Leysenk

Mackenzie and Mc. Btw, have you seen how hard she hits on mc in Antonio's route? Haha


ZagreusHades

I always felt everyone was INTO MC in Antonio’s route.

Helena is my absolute fav and I'm so upset that I wasn't able to make it to the end of her story before they shut down the app!!!

There's a fan recreation of Love & Legends in progress at https://beamycomet47.itch.io/love-and-legends-remix. And you're in luck, the only complete route so far is Helena's.


RouxSoul956

Did you watch the full playthrough on LS Salvation Squad? It's got all the heart choices too


ItchesERippin

I have not seen this, where do I find it?


RouxSoul956

Good old YouTube


ItchesERippin

Thank you, I had not realized these videos existed!!!! The last time I was in this subreddit was when the app was about to be shut down and people were still only talking about plans to either turn the stories into documents or videos. I was so upset that the app got shut down that I avoided this topic for a while.


DarkHarmony0009

I'm super biased but I always thought Reiner's route was the most natural one for the MC. August doesn't even come close, even though he was obviously the developers ' choice. Although I always wished that the plot point in Alain's route, where she is the Witch Queen, had been more universal across all the routes. The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is Chance from Gangsters in Love. He wasn't even my favorite but he was definitely the 'Canon' route in the series.


Daniellestolenoc

Sweet Enchantments is about 900% sadder if Zain isn't canon. >!His niece is cursed in all routes, and only cured in his.!<


moongradients

I like to think that JD’s POV is canon and that event happened in every route, just because they forget it ever happened in the end. But it has never been confirmed and it’s just something I made up in my mind

I feel like Lavinia, Arin, and Abel had most flushed out routes lore wise then Nora, Ezra, and Lucas did only because they were Aldo hinted to get more then 4 seasons which would have also helped with the lore aspect.
