I love this, this is one of the best WIPS I've ever read😭 although what would It be like for the MC to have a love/hate relationship with the man who killed his entire family?? Just a thought<3
i love love love reading IFs but as much as i can get immersed and attached to a story it's rare for me to be unable to distance myself from it... except for this. i can't describe how i genuinely felt what MC felt and i actually got emotional even thought its just lines on a screen. every single page was sooo interesting and i couldn't help but want to play more even though i also hated playing the game because i hated the king for what he did to our family. But to be honest this is genuinely a very well-written game and is very engaging! i usually focus a lot on the romance aspects of IFs but here i dont mind either way, i still can't pick who i want to romance though, but either way i really really look forward to seeing more!
I wish the option to note after burning the room that before that you’d had watch people make a play and use your families murder as entertainment , and not just I wanted to mess with him, unless I’m missing some choice and that changes? I’m not sure but to me it wasn’t on a whim feeling ig
Hello! Thank you for pointing that out. I went and checked what it was and realized there is a coding error. If you picked "Do it, take your anger out on this room." instead of "Do it, it will be fun to see how Luceris will react." in chapter 2 then it should've shown the following instead of the "mess with him" part. ^^ I will have it fixed when I make a basic update to the demo soon!
loove this thang soo much all the characters are so well thought out and interesting and playing as mc is just so much fun its a fascinating world and im sooo invested already
Not to be dramatic or anything. But I would take a bullet for Helios. My MC has so much trauma but at the same time if Helios bad, why pretty? Also slight spoilers but getting to slap Luceris across the face like the little b!tch he is was quiet possibly the highlight of my entire year.
I want to say that I really love how engaging the writing is! I look forward to future chapters. I’ve read, edited, etc… a lot of works: interactive and non-interactive, and yours really stands out to me! I find your book (specifically) to be really unique. Not only is the punctuation, grammar, and vocabulary exquisite… but the characterization, foreshadowing, plot, and story telling are, too! If you don’t already have plans to put a price on the final version, I truly believe you should consider it. It’s even better considering you’re a humble person/author, which we don’t see much of those these days… Based on the comments, it’s fair to say that you did such a great job at pulling in readers! I recommend that everyone should read this at least once.
GOD I LOVE THIS SERIES SOO MUCHH!! 😭🫶🏻 i love how our MC reacted to certain situations, and I love the characters and how unplain they are. The storyline is also VERY interesting unlike other series. Right now, I'm just wishing that one of our siblings except for our sister is actually alive, specifically our lovely twin. And maybe the other necklace would be a hint that our twin is actually alive?? Not sure. 😞
Currently waiting for chapter 4 even though the 3rd chapter was released not even a month ago. 😌
There are a lot of very nuanced relationships to navigate in this IF, which makes it very fun to RP in. I did not mean to write a small essay but this IF has so many fascinating setups lmao I have brainworms (minor spoilers below)
The relationship between the MC, Lancelot, and Luceris is extremely interesting-- at moments, Luceris often even seems fond of his "bird", whereas Lancelot is very protective of the MC (and seems to have a deeper relationship with Luceris?). The MC I play feels caught between wanting to forge a deeper connection with Lancelot as a guardian figure but feeling betrayed by Lancelot's loyalty and affection for Luceris, realizing that a Shield's first priority is their king.
There's a similar potential divide felt there with Hunter, as they're Helios's Shield. When and if it comes time to choose, there's a hint of uncertainty: will Hunter side with the MC, Helios, or Rosea? Does that affect how close the player allows their MC to be with Hunter?
Also very intriguing (and the most potentially angsty route) is the relationship between the MC and Helios. It's been fascinating to see these glimpses of Helios's personality and personal philosophy growing up. The MC often compares him to his father, but is his personality all that different from Luceris's prior to the consort's poisoning? Add on the fact that his appearance grows closer to Luceris's by the year, reinforced by its effect on the MC in the latest update, well... Moreover, it's doubtful that Luceris would approve of a budding romance between his two wards, or really, any romance involving Helios based on his reaction to the duke's child, though his thoughts on friendship are more obscure.
Then, finally, the underlying theme of revenge-- is letting go and being happy the best revenge, as people say? Is finding the truth and potentially clearing your family name the path to catharsis? Would striking Luceris be enough, or must all his collaborators fall as well, even when that list includes Lancelot? Could the best revenge be turning Prince Helios against his father... or even, destroying the prince's heart and trust in a twisted bid to have Luceris watch his son fall to ruin? And if Catarina and your family really did set things in motion somehow... what then? Does it shift the spotlight of the MC's ire?
I, too, picked for my MC to write often in the journal and in the bathing scene it said that the water was more calming than writing in it...
And then... I've chosen drawing as my mc's hobby (as an introverted, socially awkward little snowflake with a way too strong sense of duty). But as the mc was about to participate in the hunt it said that hunting has always been the mc's favorite? It doesn't fit, especially cause I chose for them to participate despite personally hating the mere thought of hurting an animal - they're a bookworm through and through with almost no fighting skills at all and only forced themselfes to join in, with being the consort and propriety and all that fuss :D
Well. Im always eager to ready your story and despite all the hate... i kinda like Luceris. Especially the dynamic of my rather kind and docile MC and him. Their scenes just have such an authentic feeling to it. The unwanted adoptive child that you somehow awkwardly positioned as your decoy-husband blinded by rage in a revenge plot that made so much sense back then but now brings forth a quite distressing and rather complicated mess of emotions that more often than not contradict each other...
I deeply love this story for how Luceris is portrayed. Humans are such multifaceted beings and emotions can shift and coexist despite common sense. Its a truly authentic mess and I crave for more :)
And even though I care so deeply for that unhealthy and yet strangeky endearing family-killer/Guardian -and his victim/kinda-adoptive-child/decoy-husband-thing, I of course am all in for the ro's.
My mc simps for Vincent without really wanting to acknowledge it though. Vincents mum alone is reason enough for my MC to becespecially cautious. Who would choose such a mother-in-law willingly? Quite the predicament indeed.
Well, that was enough blabbering. Stay safe and healthy, dear author :)
Hello! Thank you for your kind words, I am happy to know you enjoy this little story of mine! 💗 Could you tell me where exactly it says MC's favorite is hunting when that isn't the case for your MC?
Loved the update! There was one inconsistency where I picked the choice to write in the journal often but then in the bath got the line that the water was more calming than writing in the journal because I didn't write in it often. One thing I would really love is to give us a light mode option back. For those of us with astigmatism, reading white letters on a black background can actually damage our eyesight more. Other than that it was fantastic and I can't wait for more!
Hello! I am glad you enjoyed it. 💗 Due to popular demand, light mode is back! It does start with dark mode so everyone will have to go to the settings and switch it. ^^ I'll take a look at that bath time bug later. :)
Hi, was curious to play this game but wanted to know if timed events would be announced before you make them/ have a count down timer? I just get so stressed during timed events haha
Im totally not checking every hour to see if the glorious public release of chapter 3 happens, noooo why would I do such thing ( PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)
I remember playing this game when the first chapter came out and it instantly hooked me but I decided to put it down and give it some time just so I don't get sad when I finish the story so quickly, I completely forgot this game existed and always called it in my mind the crown game 😅🤣 and finally I randomly found it today while browsing through some IF's reccomendations and the fact that chapter 3 is coming out in a mere few days has me hyped,so I will patiently wait until it comes out before diving into this world again,I don't think I can handle waiting any longer.
The story and the plot itself are so amazing 😭. I'm waiting impatiently for the next chapter... I'm literally thinking about this every time I touch my phone and check if a new chapter has been updated... Author you're doing a breathtaking job in this...

Really enjoying it!
omg. I love this! The beautiful chaotic/tragic events, the angst, all my emotions are beautifully triggered wanting me to read more of it.
I've never cried before while playing a game but this did it for me. The story is so wonderfully tragic and I love it I need moreeee
Had me sobbing at 3 am this was so fun and heart breaking ahhhh
I love it! I love spreading chaos hahahah
Wonderful story, Helios is such a precious baby even when he grown up the only downside is his dad.
I burned his mom room for revengeVincent and Felix are so cute!!!
And I literally died laughing at the option to tell Felix "Yours aren't" LMAO
I love this, this is one of the best WIPS I've ever read😭 although what would It be like for the MC to have a love/hate relationship with the man who killed his entire family?? Just a thought<3
fuck this shit made me cry like a bitch. I love these characters and this world so much when is chapter 4 you cant do this to me Cœur
REAL
EEEEEEEEEE!! the story and characters were so interesting! can't wait for more chapters!
i love love love reading IFs but as much as i can get immersed and attached to a story it's rare for me to be unable to distance myself from it... except for this. i can't describe how i genuinely felt what MC felt and i actually got emotional even thought its just lines on a screen. every single page was sooo interesting and i couldn't help but want to play more even though i also hated playing the game because i hated the king for what he did to our family.

i love this game so far, its beautifully written :)
I hope we can hold a funeral for our family in the game
Is there an estimated timeline for chapter releases?

oh okay thanks for clarifying that for me !
I have a question about the MCs position in the monarchy. If they're the royal consort, doesn't that mean that they're married to Luceris???
I wasn't registered on itch before and i made my account just to ask this ONE question cause it's been bothering me lol
MC is legally married to him unfortunately. If you've played chapter 3 then knowing this makes the options @ Luceris and Helios make more sense. ^^
If you haven't read the content warnings then I urge you to do so.
ohhh okay
i skimmed the content warnings and didn't see 'child marriage' thats my bad
This was so good!!! I'm so excited for the next chapter!!
My OC, getting ready to be a little piece of shit in front of Lucries (idgaf abt the spelling): Didillee doo! Didilee Dee!
God I love this story so far! I'm so excited to see where it goes!
Also for my MC to smooch Vincent.amazing story so far! also, vincent supremacy ;)
loove this thang soo much all the characters are so well thought out and interesting and playing as mc is just so much fun its a fascinating world and im sooo invested already
not the prologue making me cry. lol
I NEED more Vincent *swoon* <3 I obviously can't wait for the next chapter!
Literally the prologue I started balling, I'm so sad for the MC
Not to be dramatic or anything. But I would take a bullet for Helios. My MC has so much trauma but at the same time if Helios bad, why pretty? Also slight spoilers but getting to slap Luceris across the face like the little b!tch he is was quiet possibly the highlight of my entire year.
slapping Luceris was awesome XD he shouldn't said what he said >3> I would do it again and I love Helios he is my 1# romance

me waking up after a 10 hours nap, instantly turning my phone on FOR THIS GLORIOUS MOMENT, HELL YEAH.
Hi, was curious to play this game but wanted to know if timed events would be announced before you make them/ have a count down timer? I just get so stressed during timed events haha
Currently the demo doesn't have timed events! When I add it I'll put a setting to turn timed choices off. ^^
Okay, thank you for the reply!
