I read this when you released it early on Patreon but I'll comment here too.
I really like the different choices we can make when it comes to how traumatized MC is (and what MC is traumatized by).
I've always been a fan of broody assholes (yikes, what does that say about me?) so, naturally, Ruben appealed to me right away. Looking forward to gradually reading that Ice King thaw out. I think there was already a moment or two where I was like "AHA! You do care, at least a little" although I think the anger/outrage was more about the treatment of MC rather than MC specifically.
One thing I was slightly confused about (although it didn't impact the story in any way) is whether or not the situation with MC's parents is the same on every route. If I'm remembering correctly, on Ruben's route, it seems like MC's basically saying they sold MC off (or didn't care that MC was taken) but in Nouritis' route, it seems more like MC went missing or something and their parents have been distraught ever since. Is that a difference in the relationship/backstory with MC's parents or is it just because in one route (Ruben's, probably), MC is working more off of assumptions and believes their parents abandoned them even if it's not true?
... I hope that made sense.
