Witness: A Bodyguard Romance Theory Page

Welcome to the Witness: A Bodyguard Romance theory page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Witness: A Bodyguard Romance series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * It will not be a pure romance story: Given that a key plot point is the MC having to go into Witness Protection after witnessing a mob hit, it is believed that there will be some action/mystery elements to the story. This gains more traction when one of the perpetrators, Killian O'Connell, appears in Chapter 8.
 * Significance of Vol 1: It is believed that the "Vol 1" doesn't necessarily refer to the story being planned as a series but rather that like Endless Summer books which have several acts, the book is split into at least two parts.
 * Experimental diamond system: It is believed that the diamond system for this book is an experiment in order for Pixelberry to see whether or not it is profitable, and will likely be discontinued if it doesn't make them enough money.
 * Standalone: Due to the overwhelming amount of negative criticism this story has received so far, it is believed that it will be a standalone despite "Vol 1" being shown in the chapter titles. Many people criticize this story for various reasons such as: finding the MC annoying and unlikable, the chapters being ridiculously short, the new diamond system being too expensive, and finding the sexual tension between the MC and Marshal Keane forced and awkward.
 * Volume 2: It is theorized that Volume 2 will center around Aisling's revenge since Aisling promises at the end of Chapter 14 to get revenge for her parents.
 * Time skip: As a result, it is also believed that there will be a time skip of a few months or years between Volume 1 and Volume 2, since Aisling promises to wait until Your Character and Marshal Keane think you are safe. This could mean that we will get to see her adult sprite later in the story.

Confirmed Theories

 * Genderlocked: Many players believe the story will be genderlocked as female only because they think the premise of falling in love with one's bodyguard wouldn't be out of place in romance stories geared towards the female target demographic. This was confirmed by Pixelberry through a reply to an Instagram comment on March 6, 2020.
 * Bodyguard will be customizible: It is believed that because the Bodyguard will serve as a primary love interest, players will be able to decide the bodyguard's appearance such as gender and skin color. Pixelberry responded to a player on March 6, 2020, that we can choose our Bodyguard's gender.
