So far one of the best VN that I have seen as of late. Rael has to be one of my favorite MC by how well he's written and how rich his background building can be made(Sorry, Nick, but Super Nova has been on hiatus since 2024)

Still, bit of question here.

BIG SPOILER






Is the whole biolock/Carrison disease thing a relevant part of the plot, or is just a lore tidbit that was added in as part of the main character background?

Because I was merrily going trough Sam route, when I stumbled upon the line mentioning and all what it implies, and honestly, the whole thing gave me BAD vibes. I thought, that, if its just a background thing, it could be made into a yes/no background thing, like the sex/asexual thing, or every of the background picks, and the bit of convo on Sam's bit be omitted if the MC picked "yes, I have a biolock" (and no Carrison disease); on the same way, he could say "I had a biolock set at my 20-ish" when meeting the Captain.

But then I thought again. It may be a significant part of the plot/relevant plot-wise later, so it may be a thing of waiting and seeing. Still, reading that line felt dreadful. MC cannot live as long as the crew? Yep, he's gonna be killed off as per the plot at the end. Of some similar event.

The whole biolock thing (or the lack of one, actually) feels more dreadful than the whole pirate affair, IMO, and makes all the romantic interactions feel sorta...pointless?


Sorry if I'm not very articulate as I write this, as I'm not exactly very fluent on English.

In any case, whatever happens, I wish the team the best of lucks on the VN development.

Hey, and thank for your words and your thoughts; it's very much appreciated. And don't worry! Your English was absolutely fine.

Obviously I can't give too much away given the potential for spoilers, but I'm sorry that certain aspects of Rael's existence aren't working well for you. I do wonder if getting the information you did when you did may have coloured things, or if you may have picked up something that I didn't intend, but Rael's certainly not in any danger of dying anytime soon (not from natural causes, anyway!).  Maybe by the end of the story you'll have a clearer picture of where this has all been going, and I hope when you get there you find the conclusion to Void Dreaming to be a satisfying one.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and I hope you continue to enjoy Void Dreaming!

POTENTIAL SPOILERS?









I mean, what I take is that he potentially won't live as much as the rest of the crew. And that's the sort of thing that pisses me off (quite a lot). In a sci-fi scenario where everyone can live centuries, if not more, the MC being restricted to the default for no good reason (aside "character building") leaves a sour taste, at the very least.

And makes pursuing any love interest, well, completely irrelevant. Since the MC isn't supposed to live as long as them. Why bother on the first place?

It's a bit of a prickly subject, for me in particular, or perhaps my brain is too nitpicky on some details that are actually not very relevant. Again, if this detail is related to the plot in more depth, I won't pry further to avoid spoilers.
