How Does Love, Victor Differ From Love, Simon?
Love, Victor Isn't a Serialized Retelling of Love, Simon — It's So Much More
9
Simon has already figured out who he is by the time Love, Simon starts. His issue is about being true to himself and letting those around him know who he is. For Victor, it's a bit more complicated. He spends the series trying to figure out who he is, which results with him falling for the "hottest girl in his grade" Mia all the while he's fighting a crush on his classmate Benji.
Eventually, Victor does come to terms with the fact that he's gay, but he doesn't want to hurt Mia. His decision to tell her after giving her "one last perfect night" backfires and leads him to finally tell his parents. While Love, Simon includes the results of Simon's coming out, Love, Victor ends on him coming out as gay. Clearly there needs to be a season two so we can see what happens to Victor and the gang.
