mixed about this honestly, I like it because of the srpg but every character besides Otis annoys me. got up to chapter 6 and basically what got me to stop play is another character disappearing after. the first one I saw coming because I played fire emblem and saw one character that reminded me a lot of Jaden so when he disappeared didn't bother me that much but when the second one disappeared right after I went through the trouble of leveling him up kinda killed my motivation. I like Jakson in battles, but I found him annoying in the support stories. Satia and Norde were almost interchangeable in combat with Satia being slightly weaker. it bothers me that Norde thinks he is better than Anton while looking up to Ivan meanwhile he beats Pup in a spar when gameplay he was level 8 and Pup was level 13 -.- I feel you are trying to make Satia kinda a mother archetype but besides bullying the main character with no history just came off as annoying to me. Rowan's character didn't annoy me just using him in combat was annoying since he has no normal weapons and you only give 3 keys he kinda has to come along most fights just to unlock thing and since blaze and smite has such short range with his low hp he dies unless he is basically kill stealing from other party member also story wise it annoys me how long they distrust him, about 3 chapters and still brought up later. Charlotte was like the worse parts of Satia and Rowan put together fragile, short range and annoying personality. Mariel in combat suited her role decently as a healer but her nativity was annoying. I sorta liked Cainan but his long hair made me think he was a girl for the longest time until they kept referring to him as he I figured it wasn't a type o in my defense his shield blocks his chest so ha ha moment for me. Anton annoys me because he honestly is kinda dumb and a push over, for combat all he can do is swing his sword. no range options, no spells just swing sword all day every day and not even that well if you look at it story wise and gameplay I was way over leveled for the intended encounters, so I had to have him sit back most of the time although I did get a laugh that Jakson usually had a higher magic stat them him even a dog is a better mage than the mercenary. I know that it's your setting and your world building but historically nobles were better educated and although I'm not expect Anton to be a scholar he seems to mix well enough with the princesses for someone who only remembers being a mercenary he is a bit too soft for being paid to kill others also it's silly how weak he is just because he is outnumbered or unarmed guys are bigger than him he feels he can't fight back and how often he gets startled is silly. I still don't understand the conversations in combat. it's mentioned in the tutorial that support quests happen because the amount of combat a character was in. overall, I was disappointed that this was more of a visual novel then engaging game and i feel it's a bit too lighthearted, but I can honestly see that it's done decently enough to distracted me for two days hence I'm mixed on my feelings for this game.
