hi kolulu ^^ thank you for your thoughtful and kind words, I'm really moved by everything you've commented. there's so much I want to say in response but it's hard to formulate, which I suppose is why I'm writing stories instead. "I understand what you're saying and I feel that you understood me as well"--experiencing this feeling is truly beyond anything I expected when publishing this.
I often had these "oh, I understand" moments when reading eventide. the slice of life scenes where years get distilled into a few words exchanged back and forth, again and again, where you as the reader are guessing which words bite down more than others... yeah. haha. It goes without saying that I'm looking forward to reading/rereading more from you as well
oh, and absolutely don't apologize, the concrit disclaimer is just an attempt to encourage any comment! including those who may not have enjoyed their time or had it not resonate with them...well...I've only gotten a bit of feedback like that, but I also value it and the time it takes to produce it. I'm always curious about what "I don't understand" means to people if they're willing to get into it...so anyway, just know that if you have the thought of whether it's "this didn't make sense", or "it would have been interesting if x happened instead of y",it's always welcome
Really strong, potent work with all the pieces in place. Runtime, format, sound, color, just all pointed at full strength in one direction. Xelia living one lifetime away from being able to live in peace or being exalted as a folk hero for her actions after they've been stripped of the gory details is melancholic and ominipresent.
It's cute that she likes fishing.
LONER_DOG was not required though it added some texture. It was also an emotionally tougher read.
Minor typo, I think conscious is swapped in for conscience in a few places
(edit: sorry, I accidentally deleted the post. this is the same post. what a mess)
Obviously this doesn't capture all of my thoughts in proportion to the number of words I just read but this is so...awesome! Spectacular! Severely enjoyed that a 'dating routes' type of mechanic was hinted at and that I got scolded for it. It's everything I dreamed of whenever I read a VN and thought oh, but I wish this protagonist was a woman...lovable scumbag women are underutilized after all
I'll definitely back to read and digest sections (and the other works), it's exactly the level of dream and abstraction that makes chuuni-flavored storylines so delicious poetic and moving. And flippantly: I'm haunted by the idea of Miriam no panties
Saved and reloaded for the other dialogue options on what to do over winter break because I was so excited for her. It's a very thoughtful story. There's a great balance where I felt very led by the hand to the message by the mechanics, Winnie's conversation, the flashback convo bits at the beginning of the loop, the teacher's lecture (the list goes on...) while still feeling I had some element of free will.
I had to peek at the key once but I wish I'd taken notes instead!
Xiruo's games are so incredibly polished to the point where it seems dangerous that her plot and pacing are also moving... Isn't that too much power for one person? The comic storyboarding and umbrella interstitial were seriously impressive. Anyway...
I was very touched by this. A tender and thoughtful story of two people on their journey through young adulthood and the loss and transformation that comes through it. An exploration of their personal and family lives plays out very naturally. Not too gentle, not too cruel, the side characters (again as expected of Xiruo) are their own fully-fledged characters with actualized existences beyond the main plotline.
