Hi xeb, thanks for your feedback. You are definitely entitled to your opinion on ciel, perhaps I should have phrased it better that I personally find her relatable (ie being an idiot/doormat at times) - not that she is my self insert, but i am also irl, a doormat/idiot. We wanted our mc to be the girlfailure representation that could learn and grow!! Just like the fellow girlfailures out there…. However I understand some will not find her failures comedic, relatable, or likeable, and that is totally fair, because we’re all different people with different experiences. I have also played other games where the main character isn’t likeable to me, so I understand where you are coming from.
This is why we have our demo to recieve feedback from players which I am thankful for. I do remember you commenting on our previous demo as well regarding this aspect of Ciel, which is partly what prompted us to make some edits to the story which I thank you for. We have since made some changes here and there after the comments: especially in the first parts of the story, to give her the chance to display more self preservation or courage if the player desired, without having to do a massive overhaul of the first chapter. Regardless, I acknowledge she is still not for everyone, and it’s totally fine if she(or this game) isn’t your cup of tea.
