To be honest, this is something I've been thinking about since the beginning of this novel. There are four things in particular (if I mention anything wrong with the plot or the story itself, please forgive my bad memory):

1- The way James manages to travel to the other world is rather... vague. He's walking through the forest and suddenly a mysterious portal appears out of nowhere and absorbs him, and that's it. If it had been something more, I don't know, mystical, it could have been better (like: while trying to leave the forest, he hears a wolf howl, gets distracted thinking about how dangerous yet strangely alluring it sounds, so he slips and falls into what appears to be a hole. When he opens his eyes, after a brief faint, he finds himself sitting in a cave, then follows luminescent runes and finds the exit, sees the world, and when he turns around, there is no entrance to the cave, leading to the subsequent events. In the future, after returning to his world (if he does return), he could find himself in a small landslide instead of a hole that led to a cave where he initially slipped, allowing the author to use the excuse of "it was all a dream," but with the possibility of knowing it was real (like a handkerchief or souvenir from that world that he has in his backpack)).

2- I don't find it very believable that, even without knowing he's in another world, James would just walk into someone else's house as if it were the most normal thing in the world. At least give him a reason for doing that, like he actually sees the beings from that world, panics, and has no choice but to enter the house because these "terrifying" creatures were approaching.

3- How is it possible that he understands both the language and the writing of that world? Normally, and at the very least, other protagonists in other novels have grappled with this from the beginning. A brief mention and a possible explanation (like: "it's thanks to MAGIC") would add more depth to the story and explore the potential uses of this "possible" ability. For example, at first, he might be amazed that he can understand and read the language of the normal books he's given, but then he doesn't notice the difference and understands when he hears and reads another language or dialect, and of course, he can at least speak them. The simplest explanation is MAGIC, at least initially. The author could explain it better as the story progresses, potentially developing it in any way.

4- Same idea as the previous point: James wears a pendant with a Christian cross, and if I remember correctly, they exist in that world as well, and with the same meaning. It's too much of a coincidence for James to have at least made a comment about it, even if only a line, and I hope the author develops this further in the future, as religion seems to be a very important element in the plot.

Finally, I would like to thank the author, Kur, for giving us the opportunity to read this entertaining story. I know that writing a story involves a lot of effort, and even more so when presenting it as a visual novel. I eagerly await the next update and apologize if I've made any mistakes or haven't been very polite; I just wanted to give my honest opinion.

hewoo, happy to hear ya took time to read, so i will respond to wich point!

1- I made the first part 3 years ago and at time, i was sure how the story would go so far in terms of progress, so i had made James sudently went to Hyvindle, but i can make better with time to be less vague. The part of idea of being a dream or coma is totaly bad for me, i hate when that plot of being all a dream or the mc was in a coma, always been a bit ridiculous to me xD. So my intent is that really happened.

2-I think I made up clear James thought was a set for movie or something in the genre, and that the village was empty because they had to go to the castle.

3-I wanted to do something a bit like narnia and how even if it's a different world they can understand each other and the text in the books is just something  i made up while doing the art haha.

4-Will try to take care of it in future!

ty again for reading , any fav character, moment ot scene ya would like to share or even theories?

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply to my rambling. Just to clarify a few things:

1- The part about waking up in his world with the excuse that "it was all a dream" was more like him believing, for a single moment, that it had all been a dream, leading the reader to fall into the trap of thinking, as you rightly said that it would be a ridiculous ending, that James dreamed it or that he was in a coma. But that in reality, it all happened.

2- You're absolutely right, you wrote that the town was empty, but I don't know, it seems strange to me that instead of investigating the town further, he goes into the biggest house he sees and starts snooping around. But I understand that you did it to make the encounter with Dylus seem like fate, I suppose.

3- I see where you're going with this; I was just saying that it could be a concept you might use, given that the history of that world is ancient. The idea that he can speak and read any language from that world could justify him, for example, being able to read messages/runes/texts from that era in the future (assuming it's a different language than the one spoken in this lore; otherwise, forget everything mentioned above).

Finally, for now, I'm interested in the lion brothers. I know they haven't been shown much and only started developing as characters in the last update, but I hope to see more of them in the future, both interacting with James and demonstrating that they and their people have changed since their father's reign.

Thank you very much, and sorry for rambling on again.

No worries love to get feedback on my vn! Any theories for the future of the story? :3

Well… I don't know if you should consider these theories, but first, since the story is linear, I'm ruling out several endings. That said:

1- Although I haven't seen it yet, if there were a romance, I think it could be between James and Dylus, since Dylus is very protective of him and has seen his strength, determination, and how James defends those Dylus considers his family. However, I could also be wrong, and there might not be a romance, or Dylus could end up with Princess Anori or another character.

2- It would make sense for James to face the Seven Deadly Sins to become stronger, which would justify his increased power in order to face the final villain. This would help better control the pacing and events of the story, dividing it into segments.

3- Since Harobes wanted to go to the Sheep Kingdom to learn diplomacy, it could be a good time for him to act as a representative and go with Dylus to meet James. Perhaps he could get involved with the Sins or the Boar Witch on the way or while he's there.

4- It's unclear to me whether Ravous is truly good or if he'll betray us, since he doesn't hesitate to kill to protect his collection. He could even become a new sin, like wrath or greed, if the story allows it.

5- James is likely to develop more powers. So far, he's shown communication with souls, increased strength, and superhuman determination, although some of these might have been circumstantial or one-off occurrences. Even so, I expect to see more "fantastic" abilities that he can acquire or develop, especially if he has to face dark and chaotic forces, and, of course, because of what King Morih told him—you know, about being chosen and becoming a warrior.

Having said that, I know I haven't talked much about the novel's story, such as other gods (now that I think about it, James might encounter one who's on his side and helps him... getting back to the point), or other kingdoms, since I believe that as a reader, I should leave this to the author to develop and nurture. I eagerly await how you develop this story and hope it lasts a long time, because there are novels whose worlds deserve to remain alive, and I think this one does. But please, update the novel regularly so we can get our necessary dose of purple wolf and blond human.
