It's alright, your comment didn't seem mean at all! I just need to understand how things went to figure out where the bug is coming from.
From what you're saying, I think saving before selecting your character's name is what made things confusing.
I'll hide the save link on the first page in a future update to avoid this kind of thing. In the meantime, you should be fine if you make sure to save after selecting your character's name!
I hope you'll enjoy the game and good luck with your tests!
