I really enjoyed and was intrigued by the prologue, just some minor typos and awkward flow (from variables I'd guess) here and there, I unfortunately didn't think to make note of where though, sorry!

The beginning of chapter 1 confused me however. I'm a little bit lost about what we're setting out to do, I'm not sure if I missed something but it does feel like I'm missing a bunch of context. At one point a curse is mentioned as if I was supposed to know about it but had no idea what it was talking about. There's also a point where my MC asks Muir what happened with the Garm and it just completely skips any response to that question.

I have some screenshots of some coding errors I came across but I apparently can't fit them all in this comment so I'll reply to this with them!

Sorry this was so long, this story is intriguing and I'm looking forward to more!

Hi! Thanks a lot for taking the time to send those screenshots and giving your feedback, it means a lot <3 I'll make sure to go through the screenshots soon and correct the mistakes there. Sorry in advance for the super long text; I wanted to explain thoroughly and properly!

As for the confusion you mentioned in chapter 1 - I understand where you're coming from. There might be instances where the transition isn't smooth enough because I actually wrote chapter 1 before writing any of the content present in prologue part I and II. That being said, I'm also deliberately keeping a lot of things vague since I want to reveal things bit by bit and letting you get used to the world instead of exposition dump an explanation for everything right away. 

Although you get to play a bit of the MC's childhood, there's a 19 year time skip where the reader isn't really informed of what the MC has experienced during their time with Cirern and I want to delve into that bit by bit rather than all at once :) but I'm going to go over that part again! It's really helpful to know what is and isn't clear to readers since I already have all the information and it's difficult for me to determine that while proofreading. So thank you for that!

Can I ask you to specify what you meant by 'curse'? If you mean the part where the MC can't talk about certain things with Fri regarding their past, that's specified during the "Contract" part of the prologue if you say yes to knowing the terms of the contract. 

And about the awkward transitions, that's a bug; there are quite a few variables involving the garm and Fri, and what Muir says differs, but the text where it says that he speaks and then doesn't say anything is a bug. I thought I had it fixed but I must have missed a variable there. Will look into that too!

Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm going to take it with me when I go back to editing chapter 1! And sorry again for the extremely long answer lmao ;;

Hi! Thank you for the thorough reply, and no worries about the length!

About the curse thing, that was the moment with Fri I was talking about so that must be it. I decided my MC wouldn't ask about the terms in the moment as a child (being already shy and now with fresh trauma), so I had no idea he couldn't talk about parts of his past.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my initial comments and reply!

Ohh! Okay, I definitely see the issue. I will make a note of adding something in chapter 1 for those who chose not to hear the terms of the contract to avoid confusion there.

And it's no problem at all, thank you again for bringing this to my attention <3
