Aww haha glad you like them all and hope you found it interesting too see them from different angles in all from the various routes. More love for the hunter 

Hi and welcome back, 

I hope you enjoyed finding some new content and I apologize for the current delays. I appreciate your time and sharing your thoughts with me ^^

Thank you so much. I'm glad you like it

Ah I'm sorry that you lost your old data TT. Switching phones can be like this TT actually something like that happened to me not that long ago too. I hope you are able to retrieve all the most important things TT

I also hope to explore Nates character and relationship to the MC more in the future ^^

Hi bababanana,

As to what inspired me, I think I've always had some love for gothic monsters and tbh I thought it would be a good excuse to explore bad endings ( I seem to enjoy writing these for some reason lol). I started creating this on a whim but after looking more into classical gothic literature and the historical context of its time, I  have more appreciation for why it still holds so much appeal. I feel like there is a lot of interesting social reflections that still resonate to this day.

Ah I'm sorry TT but thanks for taking a look

Hi there,

Thank you for your kind words and patience. Sadly it's taking me awhile but I'm still working on it. Best wishes ~

Tyvm 😊

Thanks so much for giving it a try and I'm glad you enjoy it so far 😊

Thank you very much. It's going slow, but I'm still working on it when I have the time and energy. Thanks for your support. I hope you enjoy through chapter 8.

Hi, there is a lot of bad ends. Are you on his route ( ex. Escaped from the castle, followed him to his house ect? If you are on his route, it's possible to reach the end of chapter 8 where you get the message from Jonas that there is more to come, as opposed to "the end". 

Yay more love for Anthony <3! When creating his character, I often thought of the ideas of wolves having a kind of loving, playful, loyal affection while also being determined hunters and stories/accounts I read about mafia members living double lives of loving fathers/husbands, while also being cold blooded killers. I think that Anthony compartmentalizes his morality in this way, so he will seem like a very different person depending on whether or not you are a considered a part of his pack.

<3<3<3

Hi Aryx,

Wow, thank you for all your kind words and generous praise. I'm so glad this story really connected with you. Though I was intentionally trying to be influenced by webnovels for my pacing and direct language, I believe thematically it's more in line with classic gothic romance. I believe in my vision but I'm never sure if I'll be able to execute it well, so hearing you say it's cohesive as a whole is very encouraging. Thank you again <3. 

And yes, it's fine for anyone to use the art I publish, so long as it's not misusing it in deceptive or malicious ways.

Hi Skylar,

Thank you for trying out my game and putting up with the language barrier. I'm glad you were able to still enjoy it and thank you for the kind and encouraging words! Best wishes

Hi Yumisbunni,

Ooh I just love seeing hand drawn sketches. Thanks for drawing Isaac and sharing with me <3

Hi Krimsa,

Thanks for trying my game and I'm glad you found Anthony <3

Hi XoshaTheAlien,

Yay for Simon the slowburn xD

Hi bgrewar,

Hopefully playing the other routes will give a bit more insights on the characters and world, even if Isaac manages to secure his ranking XD. I am working on an update, sadly it is going slower than planned but it's in the works!

Hi Veeeter,

Aww I'm glad you like his design ^o^

Hi Cyberempathlover, 

Does it have to be one or the other? XD I made his expression kind of ambigious for this reason lol though maybe I was going more for irritated than angry.

Hi Sibella,

It sounds like you haven't spoken to Samuel in the Brookhaven yet. 

When you arrive in Brookhaven:

Go to the Tavern and 'Gossip'. Water Mage will tell you to find the Great Seer's cousin, Samuel. 

Go to Temple. The attendant won't tell where Sammy is unless you donate 50 gold. 

 Finf Samuel at the Fortune Shrine, bring 100 gold 

 Get Ruwin from Dungeon if you haven't already recruited him. report back to Samuel

He will tell you to lure Katnir into making a bet with you.  Next time you spar with Katnir choose: "If I win, join my guild."

I believe this should meet all the conditions! Good luck!

Oops sorry it took me awhile to reply I was away. Yep Nathaniel and Jonas look very similar and share the same voice acting on purpose. It's not revealed in the main story yet why this is, but it's hinted in this game that Nathaniel is starting to awaken.

I always thought language barriers in these kinds of stories would be interesting to explore but I think the trouble is in how much it would interfere with pacing and my lack of knowledge in linguistics. Probably bridging this gap would be an arduous process, and Isaac would probably lose his patience and go off sulking for periods of time but eventually I think maybe even a tighter bond could be formed.

ooh this is beautiful! I love the texture of the sketched shadows. Thanks for sharing <3

Hi there,

Yes you can choose male, female or nonbinary.

Hi Xero0, im sorry if some of the choices have not reflected the books that were read. Conditional dialogue can get overwhelming for me to keep track of everything. I may have to go back and fix some of this. If you have any specific instances that come to mind, it would be helpful if you could document it somewhere and let me know. Thanks very much for your patience and understanding.

so glad you're enjoying the story so far. Thanks so much for showing support and rating the project. I really appreciate it. Best wishes

sure go ahead

Ahh I love these questions about the MC. How about yourself? Would you be able to share your MC DnD character class?

there is a few of these I can comment on myself.

#4.) this is such an interesting conundrum. As a parent myself, I've thought about it as well. The whole Isekai genre tends to be a sort of coming to age story. hero's adventure type,  where usually the protagonist leaves behind a life that was empty and burdensome with little to no love, family ect... I guess closure might be more possible if the MC was officially "dead" in their real world life, that their loved ones would have to mourn normally as anyone else would who lost them by normal means.

#5.) Imo, there is a power imbalance in most of these kinds of set ups where the MC is a savior type character bestowed upon another world to save the people there. I think the main cast in ADW does a good job keeping their boundaries and staying self aware and level headed, and using the MC's power towards self improvement and ultimately staying self reliant. Even super devoted characters are willing to part with the MC and accept their 'transient' experience with them as precious but fleeting. In ADWVH I wanted to explore how this dynamic would work with characters who lack this kind of awareness and boundaries, but pursue the MC to their fullest desire, hence why even a 'good' character like Deita still had a bitter ending.

Thanks so much for sharing and giving me some food for thought. I'm sorry I haven't checked pending messages for this project much so I was a bit late finding this one.

Best wishes!

Hi Crim,

Yes, there's definitely a strange level of animosity towards watermage, when Jeth is mostly indifferent towards others.

Jeth was definitely being salty that he was late to the party in ADW. There was a discussion that everyone likes to beat up Ashur, because they all wish they were so open and shameless with their approach to the MC. 

Hi Crim,

It's never said explicitly their ages in the game, but it's implied that he's older than the others, since he was an older child (around 10+) when Miyetta was a baby and Mikaylis was a younger child (around 5+).

And yes, age doesn't necessarily equate maturity (or so I've found throughout my life experiences so far xD;;)

I'm glad you have so many thoughts about his character and I appreciate you sharing your interpretations!

Ah yes this is the darkside AU after all XD Thanks for playing!

If you like sarcastic verbally abusive nags, I suggest trying Esper X Guide. Manager Orwen probably makes Nathaniel look like a gentleman lol. XD;;;

Aww thank you for your support! I'm aiming for the end of August for chapter 9.

Thank you for trying my game kfc! If you managed to go through all three LI routes, the details may become more clear. Best wishes! 

Keeping them from killing each other will be a full time job lol! Good luck MC!

Hi there,

It's impossible to beat without doing a skill save. If he mentions something about the MC cheating and he rewards the MC with a flashback vision then you've beaten him the best you can.

Aww glad you liked them! tbh Anthony surprised me that he looked cuter than I thought he would LOL. Best wishes ~ <3

Hi Finn,

I'm sorry to keep asking but it looks like you are playing the web version? I suspect that you might be having issues with room in your browser cache. For best experience, I reccommend downloading the game for andriod but if that's not possible, I would try using the three lines in the upper left, export your saves, clean your browser cache and then import your saves and see if that helps.
