Absolutely lovely game! I'm so thrilled I was able to play and complete it. When I first saw the game and its synopsis/characters, I really thought I would only like Fritz and Waltz, as the other characters and their curses didn't appeal to me as much (I have a thing for knights/protectors and nice guys). I was very pleasantly surprised by the first route I played, which was Rod's. Then I progressed with your recommended route order and I think I can say my favorites are as follows:
Waltz >>> Karma > Fritz > Rod > Rumpel
So overall Waltz is bae and Waltz is life through and through (omg he's just so precious I could go on and on all day about him. I love everything about this man, so help me gods if I cannot marry him). I LOVED Karma's route even though he didn't appeal to me at all originally, everything about his route just fell into place perfectly and I loved every single second of it, especially the subplot! I cried my way through Fritz's route. I thought it was fantastically done, yet the thing keeping it from above Karma's was that I felt the romance was a bit rushed. I'm definitely hoping to see it more fleshed out in the fandisk! Rod's route was the perfect one to play as an introduction to the game and I enjoyed seeing Lucette interact with her family a lot. (And Rod's such a tsundere I just want to snuggle him)I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy Rumpel's route. I quite liked it and the plot sucked me in, but he was probably my least favorite LI. I guess he just paled in comparison to my love for the others, ahaha, but he is definitely special in his own way!
I just wanted to thank the Dicesuki team once more for making such an amazing game. The world-building you all did was wonderful and had me on the edge of my seat, something I can't say for most other OELVNs I've played. I just want to shower you all with praise and I'm sorry for my jumbled thoughts and the long comment aaah. I can't wait for the fandisk and your new commercial games so I can fling more of my money and praise at you guys! <3
