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?
