Hi Konoi!

You're welcome and thank YOU for visiting and reviewing! :'D Here's some tissue.

Your heartfelt review blew me away with how long it is -but I definitely enjoy every second of it! x'D

1. I agree; both of them are intense in their own ways. Rama's route was very challenging for me to write >.< it was like riding a roller coaster; with me trying to control where and when will the roller coaster go 'up' or 'down' without crashing it.

I have to say that his bad ending is probably one of the most emotional scenes I've ever wrote :")

However, the story has a dark-element and people tend to avoid such topic so I worry about Rama a lot -but now that I read your review; I gained more confidence to write more stories like Rama's :'D Thank you!

2. Glad you tumbled upon my VN and gave it a try! x'D

3. YAY! Thanks for giving all 3 bachelors a chance! xD

I was making a small experiment with this VN: Mitra is 'Easy', Reksa is 'Medium', and Rama is 'Hard' to see people's reaction. I'm happy to hear you think the complication & boldness is the best thing in Winged Ones x') My next project is... a bit heavier than this one ><

4. Yes, I know that my grammar is very delightful x'D Multiple people keeps reminding me of this -but fear not! I have 3 proofreaders for my next project!

Oh and about Tamara looks different with other characters: Is it because of her blue hair? O.O; I was trying to make her easy to notice so I went and gambled with blue hair :'))

I will take note of it and try to make my next MC character have more similar physical qualities with other characters ~

5. Aww, thank you for the warm support! *hugs*

Now onto the Spoiler Stage:

------------------------------------

*evil chuckles* so my plot to make you anxious in his good end is a success! x'D

At first, I was not planning to make it like that. But as I write, characters tend to change his/her mind; one thing led to another and then VOILA!

Hahahah, that battle scene took a lot of me though. I grinded my brain to make each battle as interesting as they can since I don't want it to be repetitive. Very happy to see such appreciation from you QuQ

For Rama... his route is very slow-paced and he is hard to open up due to his psychology -I often find myself in a headache since he pushed the MC again and again x_x; I'm happy to hear it's well-done from you since other people tend to get impatient with him x'D As I said, his bad route is probably one of the saddest and angsty chapter that I've ever wrote :'( I don't like angst but I can't deny that they're good and sometimes needed at some right moments!

I also agree that Mitra's route is not as intense as the other two x') it was supposed to be a very light story; but now I noticed that I can't make it too light or it will get overshadowed with other routes. Thank you for reminding me of this!

-And don't worry about lengthy review! I enjoy reading them and they always made my day brighter! x'D

See you again in my next project!

xoxo,

Hey! Sorry for not answering before - itch.io didn't notify me of you answer...

Yeah, you shouldn't be worried about using characters like Rama - dating sims of all sorts are full of characters with lighter stories and less tortured minds. While a character like him is uncommon and I understand the doubts you may have felt before the release, I think it's nice to have such a change of pace from the usual formula, and all of my friends I talked to about the game liked the concept of that character.

Angst isn't a bad thing in a VN game about romance - it's nice to see it taken really seriously. The only thing that should, in my opinion, be avoided is not allowing a character to have a good ending. I mean, in a game where the whole point is to reach a happy ending, it's always very sad if one or more character doesn't get that. A good example is the BL game Kuro no Tsuki - it isn't a very good game to be honest, even if I like it because of fond memories related to it. But one character in the game dies if you do his ending, while he lives in every other route. That's the kind of things that shouldn't be done haha!

I kinda understand why some people would think Rama's route is too "slow", but I think it's necessary for a character like him, and his route doesn't lack events - the only thing that is slow paced is the romance progression itself, not the amount of encounters with the character. So yeah, in that case I'd rather say it was not a route suited for the people who said that rather than a weakness in the route itself - I'm fairly sure lots of people like it as much as I do! It would have been very "random" if suddenly the romance appeared at the moment when he may die in the forest after not progressing much before. But even at that moment, while he opened up a bit, it wasn't quite there - it was subtle enough to make it a logical progression. At the same time, I actually did see Tamara's feeling growing stronger and stronger before that point, wich is some kind of progression, even if Rama wasn't showing the same things. I think some people discard the MC a bit too much and focus only on the love interst they're pursuing. I think the MC's feelings are important too for the progression of a story.

Hi Konoi, and no problem! I'm often late at replying too ><

As for Rama, I'm glad to hear you like his concept! In the future, there will be more uncommon characters -I read and watch a lot of genres, but somehow, the ones that stuck in my head are always either angst/fluff :") you can expect a strangely angst but also fluffy stories from me lol

Oh, and don't worry, I won't make tragedy stories like in your example, Kuro no Tsuki. That is just a big NO o.o; If there is, I will definitely make an U-Turn and make it a happy end ASAP X'D

But to be honest, Rama's route made me impatient as well hahah >< the process is slow and we want to hurry in order to get to the good stuff, yeah? :")) however, his psychology didn't allow it ~

This is one of the reasons why my second VN will be a lot more longer x'D
