Ah, I really enjoyed that one! Though I can't wait to meet Berhane - they are the love interest I'm truly interested in.

I like the writing style and the interactions with the characters - though I can't talk about flavor text since I only have a single MC and I can't look at the code to see the variables outside of the game itself.

I did not notice any technical or continuity / choice consequences related issues, really. Maybe one thing that bothered me a bit was at the start of chapter 2, there was that little segment that starts with "You looked much different than when you first arrived. Better rested, of course, but also fitter. Learning combat with Sir Mansoor was already bearing fruit and you could see the results in your reflection." - it was a bit strange to me since my MC's stats did not reflect that, considering I had no martial prowess increase in chapter 1 so the stat was 0 at that point, but it isn't a big issue either since there is an increase a couple of pages after that.

One thing that I found a bit strange is that MC wasn't yet on the throne at 18 years old. Usually, in settings like this one, I'd expect the new monarch to take the throne when they are around 15 or 16 years old, so the MC being considered still too young at 18 was very strange to me. Maybe it would be good to add a more detailed explanation about why is that. Like, a past monarch that took the throne at that age and went mad with a power they were not mature enough to wield or something like that. Really, it's just a random idea. This isn't that big of a deal either, though - I guess I'm nitpicking a bit.

Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed the story and thank you for your input!

The stat thing I don't think is too much of an issue?  And I can't add any point before the player chooses their MC's secondary and tertiary stat. The stat are more functional than any real representation of MC's skills, to be honest. But I'll think about it, maybe there is a better way to present the stats in the character sheets.

MC's age is more comfortable like it is now for me and other readers. It's also very cultural and in a fantasy setting I don't think it's that jarring. An explanation, I feel, would break the pace of the story. I feel like it's not unreasonable to have a culture where they want the future monarch to have a thorough education before starting to rule either.

Thank you again! I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story and Berhane's romance!

It's okay, these are not major issues or anything, so still thank you for answering them!

By the way, I didn't think about a huge explanation for the age thing, eh, just one line in the passing, or something not dedicated to it per se, like during a lesson or whatever. But again, that's not a big thing in itself! I don't have a problem with it being as it is, it just felt a bit strange to me. I guess I'm the type of person who is more about context and setting than paralels to our modern society, so I don't mind younger characters in setting like this one, even if there is romance, but I guess I understand it can bother people. I honestly even didn't consider it was a factor!
