It's not your fault that payment processors are enforcing censorship

If you do end up removing your work please do reupload it for access again if possible - I say this out of selfishness because it breaks my heart when IF games become lost media 🥹

The notifications are going through but it's so heartbreaking how MasterCard and other payment providers can enforce censorships

GET BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN 

AUTHORRRERRRRRRRR

(I say all this with love that update is so evil LOL) 

I'm so sorry to hear the loss of your mother I'm glad you were able to spend time with her before she passed

I'm sure it's already been said but if you ever need to take another break don't feel guilty and prioritize yourself first! And whenever a new update for mending is posted I'll be there 🩷

 this is all to say consider supporting the author on Patreon! 

I don't recall making a comment for this IF yet so it's time it gets another positive review because the author deserves it!

I love the lore involving the fae and the supernatural - I love the MC relationship to (BAMF DILF) Carter LOL but seriously I think it's super sweet and I love the dynamic of an adoptee parent taking on a child with "baggage" (supernatural powers, unknown past, etc)

The RO's are distinct and I'd love to romance each one - the kestrel is incredibly compelling (which if that isn't fitting for a fae character idk what is) but my heart has chosen Renard and I'll stick to my lovely witch

SMALL SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 7

I'm curious how many readers chose the deal with the kestrel or not - and how big of a consequence or reward they'll get from that action (I chose to accept and revealing that to everyone was actually so nerve wracking as if I was the MC lol - but again Carter was a sweet dad)

I'm noticing throughout your other comments for IF/visual novels this genre just might not be your thing

Or you just purposely like going against the stated objective of the story and then throwing your hands up like "but my CHOICES!? shouldn't I get a CHOICE just code it in there developer it's not like it'd be taking time/effort for something else"

So I recommend to stop seeing interactive fiction like games and start seeing it as interactive fiction that wants to tell a story and within that story you can direct the outcome for your character (and no actively wanting to choose to go against the story doesn't make you interesting or is a valid choice - it makes you a typical annoying DND player that gets upset when the party moves on because you don't want to join the carriage ride to save the world)

Very very very promising I really have/want to give this a second playthrough because there's already so many things I want to bite into with the writing and characters 

When I got an email about the new chapter I was so happy!! I can't wait to play this when I'm off work I love this series so much ❤️

I feel bad my silly comment is the only recent thing for this IF lol

So with the update I gave the story a read and I can say that I'm definitely interested! There are some cool aspects at play and the characters are likable w/ clear distinct personalities 

Very fun and with a clear focus on what story it wants to tell 

I am so happy with the revision and new update! I especially think the additions make the writing more evocative in how tragic painful and intriguing the story is

I am hopeful/looking very forward to when the new chapter is to come !

A beautiful rewrite ty author ❤️

I'm always excited and in love with what blood-teeth writes and if it is possible to make a selfish request please even if you wish not to continue this story in the future if there's any chance you could leave it up and not have it deleted id be so happy 

For the prologue itself the writing is so deeply poignant and conveys so much feeling with as little time it truly has (I especially love the sequence detailing memories and wants the astronaut longs for) it's all so good I'll probably read it over again❤️ 

Im definitely excited for what's to come next however I will admit I'm a bit concerned (?) over 9 RO's not even including the poly aspects as well

 if the author thinks they can do it by all means do not listen to me (I am not a writer) I just hope they have fun with their story

This was such a good update also that gifted poisoner ring is such a chekhov gun I'm excited to see where that goes 👀

Im obsessed 

Characters? Love

Angst? LOVE

Also so called free thinkers when the author says not to get attached: 😭😭😭😭(me included)

But in all srs this is so well written and I'm so excited/will patiently waiting for an update

I can't thankyou enough author for telling us this story! It was so beautiful and I hope you have a bright/happy new year 

Have a good break! You have nothing to apologize for 🩷

Also my MC and Taylor having their "I am a girl like you" barbie moment LOL

Very promising and I love it! im so excited to pursue Kelsey the loser geek x popular jock (and one that's in a "relationship") is just to good to pass by for mc (im especially curious how it'll go when roles are swapped)

Also a bit funny but while playing I decided to do chores so I had a nice cackle when I read this 

Your Episode 1 runtime was 01:16:55 (1 hours, 16 minutes, and 55 seconds).

As a sidenote I love the artwork for the species! Very pretty!!

I'm completely blown away by the depth and the writing! I couldn't say no to bringing Checl with me (my MC is gonna need someone optimistic and kind for a whole lot of pain he's probably gonna put himself and others through LOL) also related but I love my sweet puppy (I named him Good Boy because that's what he is while being a terrifying beast 🥺)

And I'm very curious how the future encounter with Tsering will go (as of this point my MC just wants to shoot him in the leg and push him off a bridge - you don't get the amount of past vulnerability shown to you without a price LOL) I know we got some lovers of him currently tho so maybe that'll change~

By no means should you feel bad please but your mental/physical health first before any updates! 

And I hope you have a speedy recovery 🩷

Yes! If you search IF games anything interactive fiction  will show up  

Also I would sorta be repeating myself but since Lunan said they've recently thought about selling the full game and writing with that goal in mind I'll leave that discussion and thought process for them (lord knows I'm never gonna make an IF myself lol)

I will say the last few parts of your criticisms seem highly unnecessary - because the IF is currently free (and free games or books etc. will be quite unprofessional) also most IF authors I've seen who charge anything have a patreon (that the author doesn't have) which you opt into for bonus content 

The most I've seen an IF go for is 12$ (I think authors deserve more but that's besides the point) and that's on the high end 

Which is all to say whatever prices the author 'would' charge you'd get about what you'd pay for but the author isn't charging anything so it's not worth speculating on

Of course and there's no pressure to cater to everyone's taste I'm just excited to see how the story plays out more than anything! 🩷

As a sidenote  I think you'd love the music video "The Greatest living show" 

Works for me now on mobile! I love it I'm so excited for more!! 

I wonder if the mc can be a wolf in sheep's clothing for the circus 🤭

Honestly with all the criticisms in the comments I was expecting more of a bite to this IF lol 

Overall I like it I actually think the companions can be quite nice in their own ways despite reading comments saying their only mean - like Nash off the bat is a sweetheart - in the beginning Leanna is just trying to work things out in the moment to survive so she comes off as "harsh" but literally right after Rohan is being a prick (which they fully send him off as to break off the tension) she comes to the MC and directly shows cares for how they feel 

The alien (sorry can't remember their name) is stand offish but it's shown they clearly have a good heart 1) because their being hunted/exiled from their kind and 2) they show a clear care for joia's whole being and they even explain their reasoning for not trusting us at the start which the MC shares mutually back because their an alien lol

I like Rohan as a character I think he's the foil to the MC and it could be the Luka alien stage lover in me but I like that bit of toxicity - I recall seeing a comment asking why anyone would ever romance him and its the same reason people play IF where you can be a murderer/villain - and as a sidenote I felt like the whole "surgery" and forced tranquilizer was way more traumatizing then the intercourse (but maybe its diff if you dont choose to sleep with rohan I'll have to see)

This IF is everything I've ever wanted and more I'm so in love with it! You are incredible author and idk I just don't have enough words to say how much I like this story 

Sidenote Duri has my mc's heart completely 

so good your writing has my stomach in knots sometimes  I cant get enough man and I love having my stubborn lil man tell flea to stay like his puppy dog earnest is something the incubus cant say no to LOL

as a sidenote im really happy I was able to guess the culprit for the new case idk made me feel a lil smart

Great update also I had a mini freakout (good) when you can swap your pov and get further hints about said character with their stats/relationships (I was not expecting that attention to detail so amazing job truly)

Oh haha I was not expecting to see the IF here but it's a very happy surprise!! I still really like this story (idk if you'd recall me author but I was the anon on Tumblr who problem solved the riddle section using Google doc LOL -)

Also I recall you liking sunflowers? So here's one for you 🌻 ty again for publishing your story here

You have no need to apologize and I hope things will only get better and better for you! 

I'm glad youre a bit better but by no means do you need to feel pressured to jump back into writing for us as I'm sure many of your readers including me will wait patiently for you to return healthy and happy 🩷 

Amazing amazing amazing!!!!

Amazing x infinity!!!!!

I was mainly just confused as a first time reader seeing there mustve been a previous chapter(?) but then I guess the whole story was edited for april fools LOL

Sad to hear people are being so harsh when like you said this is something you've given to people for FREE with already so much writing and passion that you've put into it

The story you're aiming to write is so beautiful thankyou for even letting us have a glimpse of it<3
