*This maybe a bit long because I'm writing an essay :), and I'm sorry for that, but I do have things to say. Not a bad review for sure.

Thank you if you can read till the end*

Hi dev! I've been following this VN for a while waiting for English version because I was hooked by the art, adventure content and some potential "romance". I immediately download Eng ver after seeing notification. After digging into the story, I must say that the content was worth the waiting, and the art style is definitely one of the top ones. There are more scenes than I initially thought too, which is more than amazing. I was happy when I see the quality of the VN, and seeing what seem to be "hints" of somekind of gay romance. But then I saw one of the comments saying there is no romance "for now". My mood was actually dropped from the sky to the ground, despite enjoying the content so far.

I'm not against a VN purely adventure without any romance or anything, especially gay theme, and definitely continue reading even it doesn't have one. But with a lot of "baiting" so far, it wouldn't hurt to add one right? Do you have any plan of adding any? At least the main character having relationship with one of the males? :( To be honest, I'm actually copium after seeing the word "for now". Hope you can reply this.

What above is just what I'm hoping to see in the VN in the future - again, I hope. About the content, there is not much to say apart from the word AMAZING, from how the story was told to how it develops, mixing with sense of humor, some horrror and character expressions. I've got a lot of different emotions which I haven't experienced in other VN, that's why I think I'll continue till the end. I can see the heart putting in this project, and I appreciate it.

Anyways, the cinematic is a bit fast (I'm talking about the bath scene). I don't know if it's because of my setting or what. And I think it's best to give some warning before entering some of cinematic for readers to know when to "SAVE". My game was crashed after I have that cinematic played (probably because my pc can't handle the graphic) and I didn't save anywhere near it so I have to replay pretty far. I also accidentally press on choosing options without looking when I leave my mouse in the middle of the screen (I usually double click for the text to fully appear instead of waiting), so i really appreciate if we can have some kind of rollback function please? :)

Sadly, I can't support by donating (because I'm not able to) nor helping with translation (I don't know Chinese) and too much demand, but i can give you this ><(((;> (a golden fish of encouragement - a silly fish just like my username). Keep up the work guys, can't wait to see upcoming progress. Love to you guys and this VN.

Hello FishyFlish, thanks for the review! This is possibly, by far, one of my favorite, and really, thank you for supporting. Even if you cannot donate or help with translation, by supporting, playing, and saying these things, you give me, the translator, and DelaX, the creator, the passion to continue onward in this game.

As for the "Baiting", sorry you would think that way, the game, will unfortunately, not have a romance route , as the story of the adventure and world comes first and foremost. Sometimes a good VN do not need those elements (And personally, I am not against those elements either, as they add characteristics to characters I like, if used well), and to DelaX, a good VN's main properties is its story, characters, and world! In addition, the relationship between the character (male mainly) are a brotherly, family like bond. Teasing between family members, despite not of blood, has been part of their relations, and that is what is more focused upon in this story.

But in regards to your effort in writing "An Essay", I will share this tiny secret - the next chapter will have just as "warm" scenes where you will see those close moments with characters you like with our Protagonist Tex (NO NSFW, THAT'S AN ABSOLUTE!!!)! But post Chapter 4, the story will move forward in tension and stakes. As for those, I do not know, and even if I do, will not spoil at all.

As for the rollback function, unfortunately, that's the problem of the engine itself. In addition, none of us are skilled with Renpy, and it will be a whole level of mess to transfer everything to Renpy, and even then, there will be things that are missed. Most importantly, we are more familiar with the engine we have right now. Perhaps in the future, it can be feasible when the story is at completion.

I was extremely worried that my translation will not make proper due of this VN's value and worth, and that it would be received poorly. But to see people reading the story, understanding it, and enjoying it in an immersive and emotional environment, to me, that's one of the greatest reply I could ever have.

Please, enjoy the story, await for the next chapter and its translation, and if you want, draw fanarts and write fanfictions of the characters and share it with us all. We will be happy to take it (NO NSFW, SORRY!)

And if you really want to support it, spread the words, as after all, this is an adventure that everyone deserves to share and enjoy.

- MYSTERIOUS TRANSLATOR

PS: sorry for writing an essay as well :) and for you to read this long.

Thank for replying!!! I mean a whole "essay" of reply :))

I'll take note on saving more frequently then.

I still have some more questions though but I'll make it shorter :))

- Do you guys have any social media? like Twitter or something

- Do you have any other VN or game projects?

- How long do you EXPECT to release new chapters? Since from what I've seen it took 2-3 years from initial release to 3 chapters in EN. Don't get me wrong, the quality does make up for it but I don't want to wait for long, but I also don't want it to end so fast either :))

- I'm a bit too obsessed with the VN right now!!!

- I do want a little confirmation for my little imagination to fly by its own: does Tex actually like males? Apart from seeing everyone like his brother ofcourse. Not asking for romance content anymore :( , just confirm.

Thank you again!

PS: I do feel like we are children sending love letters here haha, although I'm 25 already.

Hello FishyFlish

Good To hear from you. And for your question, I will do my best to answer as much as possible:

-We have no social media as of right now, but I will speak with some of the Chinese Team members and other team members to recruit and work out a Discord channel for our audience. Otherwise, the only social media are mainly the Chinese media, Weibo and Bilibili for DelaX. We will look into twitter as well perhaps.

-No other VN or game project, this is the only one, and possibly the only one for a long while. Maybe in the future (Uncertain time period)

-Chapter 4, as I previously mentioned, is releasing soon (For your idea, one months time), and with improved translation, I intend for Chapter 4 English to be added in this year as well (If possible). As for time frame, I cannot give a clear answer, as this is basically an one man project. I only work for the translation, and DelaX doesn't recruit anyone in order to keep with the high standard (And keep the character "in character").

-Love to hear you are obessed with this VN right now!

- This is a question I can ask DelaX to add in the next build. My interpretation is perhaps slightly, but keep a pinch of salt here, as this is only my interpretation. Tex's relationship, to other male characters, will first and foremost be family members and treasured brothers, in both battle and life.

Hopefully this satiate your curiosity for the time being!
