Okay, first of all, this is about D. When I go into the relationship pages, it always says that he's reassured, but our relationship is unstable. Is there a way to prevent that?
You know those mobile game ads? The ones that show you a brief, dramatic, somewhat interesting situation and then you have to make a "difficult" (usually ridiculous) decision?
This game is like those but ACTUALLY compelling with ACTUALLY difficult decisions that genuinely feel like they carry consequences down the line. With the added bonus of not having the weird-looking, distorted visual "aids." If you've seen them you know what I'm talking about.
Dig at mobile game ads aside, I'm at the beginning of Ch 11 of the X route and I'm so blow away by pretty much everything about this game.
From the technical angles like the grammar, story telling techniques, vocab, etc. to how enjoyable and engaging the story is. Even the moments that are intentionally written to be "dull" or taxing on the MC emotionally are not taxing to read while still allowing sympathy. I don't think a lot of people realize how hard it is to make "unenjoyable" scenes compelling.
Basically what I'm getting at is, this is a great freakin' game. 10/10.
Hey mr suicidalsquid, I saw your name and just wanted to say I hope you're doing okay these days. I don't know what you are going through, but maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. People care about you, even if it may not feel like it at times. Wish you the best.
noooo its ended, I cant believe this. me and xelef were destined to be together and now the image is ruined! I'm going to cry myself to sleep thinking about my beloved xelef
so on the game relationship page it says my relationship with X is unstable and he didn't send me a letter back or anything but according to the author's tumblr, I got the high relationship reunion scene and not the low relationship one?? are these different things and also how would i get a stable relationship with X then? I feel like i've been picking the right choices but...
fabulous writing, i love both the characters and the extensive world and lore of it all. one of the only novel type games where i've actually played multiple routes because it's just that engaging. i love our crown to bits <3
OMG, I literally created an account just so I could comment on this. I love it so much. Dara is literally 100% my type, why am I not seeing more of this type of character in visual novels :((
There isn't really a right or wrong at the moment...? It pretty much just depends on how you feel towards them, who you think you/r Crown would pick and how good they would be in those positions in your own opinion from the way you've seen them act or talk about certain matters.
My personal go-to:
Turn down the Law Officials and dismiss them on the spot. (You have to prioritize your people for this to appear) Lemme tell you, Crown is so badass, sheesh... Got me quaking in my boots too.
Appoint Lady Naza. (You have to gain her approval to do so) She might not be everyone's cup of tea so just base it off what you feel about her but also think about what the game is telling you about her at the meeting.
Appointing Noble Nûdem as Minister of Law. (Have to do the first option - I think... it would make sense...) Personally for my own game, I really liked how they were pretty upfront with their opinion and I liked this one scene where you could decide your opinion on something they say/do, thought it fit really well for my own Crowns so - personal choice as always.
But hey, this could potentially be a horrible combination and I will cry scream in my pillow if so... just the fun of this game though, try out whatever fits for your Crown's style. I'm not sure of all of the possible combos out there since again, these are my go-to's that I feel somewhat safe with right now lol.
does anyone know how to not have an unsteady relationship with R in chapter 8 through 9? I did all the options, and it still says the same, and if you can possibly do 9 through the rest of the chapters only if you want.
omg i swear this is one of the only interactive fics were i am so completely absorbed into the world. i also cannot for the life of me decide which LI to do ( im gonna do all of them)
by the way, has anyone figured out how to priorities the public and gain lady Naza's approval ? (i have been replaying soooo many times yet i can never get those options)
tho i somehow killed 2 guards and 2 citizens this time (oops) - tried all options of security yet i still coudnt save them (what ? do i have NO security ? thats ridiculous)
I think that's because you toldthe nobles. You are warned that it is a sign of weakness meaning they likely got some assassins? I haven't ever played this way.

I feel like i've been picking the right choices but...
Which option did you pick before the letter convo?
i asked for a promise--is that what's keeping my relationship unstable? i still don't understand how I got the high relationship reunion tho lol
Yep! Pick 'Let them go' and look at your relationships screen, see if that works :]
And probably because you picked the option that showed you cared abt X's feelings after they showed you their whole vulnerable self at that moment 🤭
So I'm struggling to have a stable relationship with Dara after chapt 4 so a little help pls 😭
I'm not able to save the game to my files...
I'm playing on Android with the DuckDuckGo Browser
Please Help :)

slowburn lovers, A is your pick. TRUST.
OMG, I literally created an account just so I could comment on this. I love it so much. Dara is literally 100% my type, why am I not seeing more of this type of character in visual novels :((
Dara has clenched me by the soul. Please. I am like an addict at this point. I need more after every update.
does anyone know the right choice for what to do in court on D’s route? After he’s hurt
I cant find my save in files I hate myself :D
BUT ANYWAYS, I love this game sm you have beautiful writing :DD
Can Kham be trusted?
I’ve only had good things happen to me when trusting Kham, but Idk?? Go with ur gut, broski/broskette
Can anyone tell who to trust to appoint for the crowns Jurisdiction? I've been playing this game to long, and I don't want to make any mistakes.
There isn't really a right or wrong at the moment...? It pretty much just depends on how you feel towards them, who you think you/r Crown would pick and how good they would be in those positions in your own opinion from the way you've seen them act or talk about certain matters.

Thank you I'm really trying to get a good ending I will literally cry if I get a bad ending lol.

i struggled with this aswell, in the end i got there.
And let R seek truth about their family
Thank you!
omg i swear this is one of the only interactive fics were i am so completely absorbed into the world. i also cannot for the life of me decide which LI to do ( im gonna do all of them)
by the way, has anyone figured out how to priorities the public and gain lady Naza's approval ? (i have been replaying soooo many times yet i can never get those options)
According to a short search on the discord:
1. Tell everyone about the assassin
2. Yell "QUIET!"
3. Reject the officials and rebuke them
omg thank you for that (i finally got it!)
tho i somehow killed 2 guards and 2 citizens this time (oops) - tried all options of security yet i still coudnt save them (what ? do i have NO security ? thats ridiculous)
I think that's because you toldthe nobles. You are warned that it is a sign of weakness meaning they likely got some assassins? I haven't ever played this way.
I picked these options and always got the priorities for the public.
Spoilers...
Tell the public about the assassins. Don't tell the nobles or Kham.
Celebrate the coronation with everyone. I also did protection for both parade and ceremony.
Keep curtains drawn.
Pick first option about the keeper who doesn't come to coronation. Publicly condemning them.
I always get the option for Lady Naza. From what she says, she prefers a crown who is in charge and in my own words has a spine.
