Thank you for playing the game, despite the awkwardness of this stage, I hope you stick around to see it grow! I do agree I need to add some more guidance/clarity to quests
The history system was something I struggled making from scratch honestly, since there is quite a lot going on, so there's a few instances of these edge cases where it's not handling things properly - I appreciate you pointing it out and I plan to have it fixed in the next patch!
