Holy hell, this might easily be one of the best things I've read. Haven't finished it yet, but I'm already considering becoming a patron for this, cos it's been giving me that warm dreamlike fantasy experience that feels like home to me.
I love thorough, but not overcomplicated fantasy worlds, of which there are not many. I'd count this novel as one of those. I like how the lore is revealed to the reader in only the crucial bits that make you believe it's a realistic, living world with its own rules, but not in overwhelming or boasting way. The story's fairly personal, which makes it feel cozy.
I'd expected it to be much hornier, seeing Reamus' big frame in the first CG of him, but it turned out to be very slow-paced. And honestly? I'm totally fine with that. I grew to love all the main characters for their distinctive personalities, inner conflicts and worries, their different attitudes towards the problems they face. And seeing them getting closer, their dynamic, is satisfying.
Also. THE BACKGROUNDS. Idk if I've seen more beautiful sceneries in a visual novel. They are so colorful, so vivid, yet soothing. God, they're such a pleasure to look at. All of them.
In other words, very good job. Truly magnificent. Everything about it gives me a mental boner. Except for Jymsar. He gives me an actual boner.
