Of course, it could just be the rose tinted goggles of half-remembered nostalgia. Very much so. I definitely look forward to upcoming chapters and I did like getting some more time with Abrin in the beginning. I honestly don't remember the twins existing, funnily enough. Thanks for humoring my little ramble. =)

Hmm...I like it. Definitely ready for the return of this story. But...and here comes the downvotes...I admit, I miss parts of the original. Maybe I've become an old crone or something or its just a slight petulant inner me being adverse to change.
Things seemed to move so fast now in each scene that by the end of the chapter, I didn't really have a good sense of how my MC's personality has developed over the years. It was clearer in the og, the scenes felt darker and more raw, letting me get a good sense of what my MC's life and abuse was like. I had a clear view by the end of the prologue that my MC had been driven to be quiet, stoic, and holding a defiant, deep-seated hatred for his father, siblings (except Abrin), and Astrite.
Now it just seems so toned down that it feels more an afterthought? Like just some casual bullying between kids. Even Astrite didn't seem as cruel and creepy as he came off before. And part of me struggles to accept this kinder Dahlia as I still hold a nice hatred for her older version self.
Which makes me a little sad, cause I kinda loved the idea of an abused MC finding a new home in Ce Cerine and the chance to help Aleksander and seek vengeance on their tormentors. But it could just be the adjustment phase with character rewrites you mentioned. Regardless, this isn't meant to be an attack towards you, the writer. So don't be discouraged by my conflicted ramblings. I just seem to have an addiction to angsty backstories. xD
Awe, that was a wonderful chapter. I also owe Tellus an apology for suspecting him of being the lone holdout. xD But I really enjoyed that chapter, between all the interactions between everyone and the more intimate moments with Tellus. Plus that small battle. And that final bit at the end... such a good sense of all types of family in this chapter. ^^
And yes, Vicente is a grumpy kitty. xD I look forward to his route in a future playthrough.

Hah. Love the newest update. I'm happy with the slow-burn romance growing between my MC and Lucian. Isolde has gotten better since the first chapter. Still not interested in romancing her (though probably cause I'm about the boys =P) but I do want to assist and help her become a good Queen.
Edit: Pft...the Isolde fans are ridiculous. Downvoting anytime I speak against Isolde. People are allowed to not like the characters you like.
I know. All we can do is hope that the insanity finds an end. Still, we got our work around and the story is good enough to be worth the extra money. And of course I enjoyed the chapter. Just finished it, in fact. My guy is just wrapped around Flea's finger and Flea don't see it. xD Loved the continuation of domestic fluff and enjoyed the urge to murder Hawker. Like, get out of here, you shithead! Alex will kill you if you touch his Incubus. Love that Flea now feels ok to run around with his trick down at home. And loved that WORK was an option for how my Alex handled things at his lowest. That is exactly how I imagined him being. The type to bury himself into work until he dropped dead rather then cope. Flea has been more a blessing to my workaholic detective then he might realize.
Honestly, I was annoyed with the paypal option. But I'm so thankful for the discount for your patreon. I've bought every chapter up to this point, but I don't mind rebuying with the discount. The full amount its at (at least for someone not new to the story) would have sucked though. xD So thank you for the discount. =)
You live! I wanted to ask, but I didn't want to annoy, so I'm glad to see this devlog. Been waiting happily for the update. Will continue to wait. =)
As for the sneak peak... "B***, you betrayed us first for some saint chick. I'm dating your sexy tall, dark, and actually-cares-about-me Brother now." xD Even funnier cause I play a male MC, so Ædan literally dumped my MC for a woman.

I always love POVs, specially from ROs. Interludes are ok, so long as they are important to the story and not overly long since they lack interaction. But as a book reader, its not anything new. xD You can always offer the reader the option to skip a pov or interlude, which helps during multiple readings or for characters whose pov you're not interested in for that playthrough.
Very nice update. I enjoyed the various combat scenes, and the angst and drama with Coda. In fact, Vicente and Coda are definitely competing affection wise with my MC. xD Can't help it...its to easy to flirt with pretty boy Vicente as well, specially when he romantically offers that we kill his dad together. lol
I enjoyed all the interactions with Coda to. And his reaction to my ferret, Tellus. I am curious why, if we are basically joining the resistance now, why we're still holding on to the mute/deaf facade. Might as well speak up (literally).
It's because we are fighting that Itch gained some courage to do this. Keep fighting VISA and MC, ppl. We can't let them continue to get away with stuff like this. Adults have the right to use their money how they want for legal purchases, and Card Processors have no right to parent us.
As Lili said... "But that DOES NOT MEAN we let Mastercard and Visa off the hook."
Make sure if you are contacting VISA and MC, that you are calling them. Emails can be deleted or filtered. But call centers must answer calls, and every call a call center takes, VISA and MC has to pay them for it. (Just be respectful to the call operator when voicing your complaint, even if they are rude to you.) We can make a difference.
