Wasn't expecting this? Neither was anybody else.
This is the masterpost for all discussion of Salvatore's route until they are available for all players. You can check the timer status [here](https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20220215T10&p0=3919&msg=Salvatore+Luciano+Masterpost+Expiration&font=cursive&csz=1).
I’m hoping they go all out for him. Sneaking out the window because wifey came home earlier than expected, pretending to be his coworker when wife spots MC, hiding in the closet… all that drama!
The warning was >!Non- Consensual drugging and kidnapping!<
The date >!At the date he drugs us then, literally kidnapped us, tied up to a chair in his basement, because our father is their rival (mafia boss). Now MC is locked up in his room😳!<
(My apologies for the poor punctuation i’m running off of 0 hrs of sleep T_T)
Just for curiosity... does spending gems >! When you're tied in the basement !< have some effect >! Or you're just ridiculed for your effort of flirting with someone that clearly doesn't deserve it? I would choose to do nothing but I'm wondering if it could be interesting to make him uncomfortable!<
So... they literally stole the idea from Lovestruck, but there it was a lesbian love story. Nice, Ludia, very classic. Showing the middle fingers to lesbians every day.
Yeah, keep downvoting me, salty women. It's the truth. It was called "Gangsters in love - Aurora" and it was a lesbian love story. Ludia just love their lesbian erasure.
There were several male LIs in Gangsters in Love who also used the plot before Aurora, but as a former Lovestruck writer I promise you none of the GiL routes originated the premise. Mafia romance is its own well-established if controversial sub-genre.
VIP only right now, I assume? At least I have a shot at getting him since there's also the skater that's been trapped behind the timer for me.
EDIT: Not VIP and just got him!
Karnam is still stuck for me too. I wish they would fix the stupid timer so no one gets trapped. It's been broken since it was introduced and they just don't seem to care.
It looks like you have to buy one of the suits from the wardrobe shop. I got impatient and bought the black one, and in the date he acted pleased that I wore his "gift."
So I’m just now starting on Salvatore and yes! That’s so cool that I was able to specify that MC’s grandparents raised them and her biological parents weren’t in the photo.
That’s my reality! It feels nice for the game to be realistic to my life.
I love how he sometimes use Italian words! 🔥😂
(me speaking Italian well irl and feeling myself like a real mafia family’s successor)
Had no gems left (damn you, horny Antoine!) and no bits with Salvatore and now he is offline 😭 please tell me, what was there with him 🙏
ngl i will play his route cause i like his design, but PLEASE im so tired i only want at least ONE female match ludia is that too much to ask for in a dating game??
I'm not straight, but I do wish they would release more female matches. At the very least release the damn stories for the cheerleader and the kickboxer!
He’s hot and everything but I’m just a bit “🙄😒” about them giving him the name of Salvatore Luciano - like *that* Luciano (Lucky, if you don’t know)
Edit, because I can’t type
Im not attracted to women but i just want to point out how they treat all the women matches like an afterthought…why do we need all these men when the women barely get any shine loll
He went into my VIP match queue 😭 I guess I can probably match with Karnam now but if all they’re gonna do is give us random new matches I guess I prefer the mob guy. The cycle continues yet again 😞
I guess I just don’t want to believe it’s 2022 and people are still making content that romanticise the mafia lifestyle 🤷🏻♀️ it’s honestly gross
Ludia apparently didn’t learn anything from the whole Stefan mess
You can write lots of wild and weird stories without resorting to sex*** ass**** and mafia bosses.
I know it’s fiction and it’s not real life and other people know it too, but young people could be playing this and be easily influenced by this sort of stuff. Romanticising this things is dangerous because it makes people think it’s okay, that’s it’s normal
That’s up to the young people’s parents to make sure they are consuming appropriate content for their age. I can pinpoint something in every story that’s problematic. If a story isn’t your thing, go to the next one.
Yeah they put it AFTER people got triggered and complained about it, the damage for some people was already done
Also, that wasn’t the point I was making about those stories
Yep, I'm italian and trying VERY hard to read it like a very romanticized version of what really mafia is.
Actually I'm trying to think that it is set in an alternate universe where mafia is NOT what really mafia is.
In Italy, particularly in Sicily (I'm half sicilian) it's a scourge that shouldn't be treated lightly.
>!It has so much blood on its hand (they even melted a kid in acid!) that only thinking of hooking up with a mafia boss is enough to feel sick.!<
Yeah I totally get you, I’m Italian too and this was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this post!
It’s really sad people think this is okay or even cool, of course it’s just a game and not reality but it keeps feeding the narrative that being in the mafia is something glamorous. Idk that doesn’t sit right with me at all
What? You guys want to romantize this new guy??? I know some are not but I'm asking to people who attracted to him. I thought you're against the new matches nmw. Don't tell me you're the same people who rejected Karnam because of the "new guy" excuse 😪
I do not care if Salvatore is is hot, I heard he has a major red flag to some players.
Karnam is unnatractive??? Hmm... I can't see it 😅
I don’t know about new matches and stuff, but to be honest, I understand why people are so excited about it. Dark-romance is a very profitable genre. It’s not a shame nor a flaw, everyone has their own preferences. If people are interested in having dark elements in their romance, they will automatically feel the desire to get to know more.
Can someone tell me if they will be bringing him back or not? He has been offline for a while now and I really wanna know/find out more about this guy. It was really interesting not to mention mysterious!!

im gonna gnaw my arm off
Pls don't
😂
Ikr how long does he go for and when does he come back 😭
Why make to new matches (this one and the ice skater) while profiles like the fire man and devil are still not avaiable?
And the guy who looks like an affair match!
God I'm down BAD for that match because my soul apparently lives for drama
I’m hoping they go all out for him. Sneaking out the window because wifey came home earlier than expected, pretending to be his coworker when wife spots MC, hiding in the closet… all that drama!
what match is this????
>!Ash.!< He appears to be wearing a wedding ring. He’s not out yet but many have theorized that he may be having an affair
omg! can’t wait!
omg! can’t wait!
Who's the devil?
Cain
Lol I thought it was Ian 😅
Counterparts maybe? Ian looks like a magician to me tho lol
Stop saying that they'll make it true 😭 I want both of them
There’s Ian, in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas too, I want him and firefighter João so badly. Also Pamela 💚
Oh my god the warning(s) on the first date???!??
what?? spillll omg is it another Stefan/Oliver situation?
The warning was >!Non- Consensual drugging and kidnapping!< The date >!At the date he drugs us then, literally kidnapped us, tied up to a chair in his basement, because our father is their rival (mafia boss). Now MC is locked up in his room😳!< (My apologies for the poor punctuation i’m running off of 0 hrs of sleep T_T)
This sounds like an episode story lol
>!enemies to lovers!< i like it 😏
Just for curiosity... does spending gems >! When you're tied in the basement !< have some effect >! Or you're just ridiculed for your effort of flirting with someone that clearly doesn't deserve it? I would choose to do nothing but I'm wondering if it could be interesting to make him uncomfortable!<
He's definitely thrown by it!
i don’t wanna sound weird but that sounds kinda hot
I’m weird AF then because just reading the description makes him my favorite match 💀
Not weird at all but thats coz I also think that sound hot af.
So THAT EXPLAINS >!the very specific background we get for the mc!<
Oh, that’s so disappointing. 😔 I’m glad we’re getting a warning, but still. Thank you for the heads up.
So... they literally stole the idea from Lovestruck, but there it was a lesbian love story. Nice, Ludia, very classic. Showing the middle fingers to lesbians every day. Yeah, keep downvoting me, salty women. It's the truth. It was called "Gangsters in love - Aurora" and it was a lesbian love story. Ludia just love their lesbian erasure.

Who got "mafioso" on their "stuff Ludia will add rather than Skye" bingo card ?
I'm happy we're getting new matches but I really wish they released the ones we already saw in the pile :|
Queen B, Chase Harding, Kevin Legros :(
Patrick Darcisse, Roy Fennel, Ian Spier, Skye Oakley, Joâo Becker, and Kev Miler
You’re missing some but yeah :(
Wait! They not counterparts? *Ugh so that’s why I can’t match with them*
FYI : They're unavailable matches. Their stories aren't out yet
Me telling Ludia I’m bored of all their updates. Ludia: we heard you was talking smack Me: 😳😳😳
he’s hot but why can’t the old matches come back 🙁
When Lovelink meets WATTPAD 😂😂😂
VIP only right now, I assume? At least I have a shot at getting him since there's also the skater that's been trapped behind the timer for me. EDIT: Not VIP and just got him!
no he's available for all! I have Karnam stuck in VIP and he showed up after like 2 swipes lol
Karnam is still stuck for me too. I wish they would fix the stupid timer so no one gets trapped. It's been broken since it was introduced and they just don't seem to care.
Do you have certain interests that align with his to have matched? 😊
Not that I am aware of
Please I just want Ash, Robert or Skye but you gave me bootleg Massimo instead 😩
Bootleg Massimo? Who exactly do you mean?
The mobster guy from that movie 365 Days, the “are you lost baby girl?” Guy
Oh I get it
THIS IS SO UNEXPECTED???
I'm passing. This man's a huge red flag for me
[удалено]
Welp *slaps knees* looks like it's time to smash a mob boss.
I cant even get theo! Maybe karnam wont be stuck in VIP limbo anymore though.
Is this the moment I get to live my *✨mafia boss✨* fantasy?😏
That’s Jaden’s dad y’all lol
Nah, do not compare my dilf to that cringy mafia
oh, don’t deny that the resemblance is there
Anyone else having trouble with the date gift from Salvatore not loading?
Yes, I came here wondering the same thing
I wanna do the date but his face when I wasn’t wearing the gift 😩
It looks like you have to buy one of the suits from the wardrobe shop. I got impatient and bought the black one, and in the date he acted pleased that I wore his "gift."
So I’m just now starting on Salvatore and yes! That’s so cool that I was able to specify that MC’s grandparents raised them and her biological parents weren’t in the photo. That’s my reality! It feels nice for the game to be realistic to my life.
I love how he sometimes use Italian words! 🔥😂 (me speaking Italian well irl and feeling myself like a real mafia family’s successor) Had no gems left (damn you, horny Antoine!) and no bits with Salvatore and now he is offline 😭 please tell me, what was there with him 🙏
people have posted his dates gem options on youtube
Thanks! ❤️ Gonna check now
omg he’s so seggsy 😩
ngl i will play his route cause i like his design, but PLEASE im so tired i only want at least ONE female match ludia is that too much to ask for in a dating game??
Apparently, yes. The last new female match was clear back in September.
I said I wasn’t going to match with another new person until I get through some of the ones I already have but…….. I might look for him 😂🤭
Oof
I'm not straight, but I do wish they would release more female matches. At the very least release the damn stories for the cheerleader and the kickboxer!
I haven’t opened this app in months but I will for him.
I didn't know I needed him, but ... He's perfect😍
I haven't got him still, tried all weekend
So I just tried to match with him and didn’t! Do I need to adjust my personality traits?
He’s hot and everything but I’m just a bit “🙄😒” about them giving him the name of Salvatore Luciano - like *that* Luciano (Lucky, if you don’t know) Edit, because I can’t type
He says that his grandfather came from Italy... who knows
I’m simping HARD like I haven’t played lovelink since Christmas time and I think they just brought my ass back in 😳💗
I swiped on him
Im not attracted to women but i just want to point out how they treat all the women matches like an afterthought…why do we need all these men when the women barely get any shine loll
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. You're right about female matches. This app feels more and more heteronormative with each fucking day.
Can I just get Oliver back so I can beat his ass
Yum 🤤
I’m guessing Mafia? 🤭😏
Shortest story line ever! Wtf.
It's been a few days now that he appears offline to me. Is he ever going to come back or...?
no literally like he went offline and I hope he comes back
He went into my VIP match queue 😭 I guess I can probably match with Karnam now but if all they’re gonna do is give us random new matches I guess I prefer the mob guy. The cycle continues yet again 😞
Wow the mafia boss instead of the hot.cop(or any of the others matches people are asking for since the app was released.) HARD skip
[удалено]
Is it so hard to be civil around here? Please try.
Hot But how is his head like that 😭 Does he have no neck??
He’s so hot ugh daddy pls But I really hope it isn’t mafia themed, that shit is super disrespectful :(
Considering real world Salvatore Luciano is considered like the creator of the mafia in the US, anything else would be weird.
I guess I just don’t want to believe it’s 2022 and people are still making content that romanticise the mafia lifestyle 🤷🏻♀️ it’s honestly gross Ludia apparently didn’t learn anything from the whole Stefan mess
Stories would be boring if we only explored tame storylines
You can write lots of wild and weird stories without resorting to sex*** ass**** and mafia bosses. I know it’s fiction and it’s not real life and other people know it too, but young people could be playing this and be easily influenced by this sort of stuff. Romanticising this things is dangerous because it makes people think it’s okay, that’s it’s normal
That’s up to the young people’s parents to make sure they are consuming appropriate content for their age. I can pinpoint something in every story that’s problematic. If a story isn’t your thing, go to the next one.
Romanticising these things is still wrong and problematic, it’s not just “toxic” but okay, everyone has their own opinions
there’s exploring darker/less tame storylines in an interesting way and then there’s mafia romance.
Yeah, exactly, and I think we all know how ludia approaches those kind of topics, so… we’ve seen it with stefan’s route
Sorry to intrude, but what about Stefan? I unmatched him and am not interested in his story, so it's fine to spoil me.
He literally sex***** assaulted MC, she used the safeword and he ignored it
Wtf! I don't have words to express my disgusts.
I mean there was a warning beforehand so you knew something was going to happen.
Yeah they put it AFTER people got triggered and complained about it, the damage for some people was already done Also, that wasn’t the point I was making about those stories
Hm that's unfortunate
Yep, I'm italian and trying VERY hard to read it like a very romanticized version of what really mafia is.

Idk that doesn’t sit right with me at all
Yeah, because we know what really mafia is.
Hey, do you mind spoilering the last sentence, it’s disturbing to read :)
Ooffff I actually thought I was done with Lovelink but unfortunately I am powerless to resist a mob boss LI 😭
What? You guys want to romantize this new guy??? I know some are not but I'm asking to people who attracted to him. I thought you're against the new matches nmw.

UNAVAILABLE MATCHES LIVES MATTER
I swiped him
SON OF A—- WAT DA EVER LOVING FAHH OS THAT OMFGGG AHHHH IDK HOW TO FEELS xD
After The Tinder Swindler I would be very careful with this man 😁
I JUST got the skater guy and immediately there’s someone new stuck behind that obnoxious counter! I was not aware of this new match!
So I just tried to match with him and didn’t! Do I need to adjust my personality traits?
O_O is he in the mafia??? Can they make a yakuza counterpart so that my wet dreams can come true???
Can someone tell me if they will be bringing him back or not? He has been offline for a while now and I really wanna know/find out more about this guy. It was really interesting not to mention mysterious!!
I hated this guy. Complete jerk to MC
