Thank you! ❤️

Your MC is such a flirt! 😆 I do encourage trying all the RO routes, but yeah, you’re gonna catch some flak for doing them simultaneously, lol. I’m glad you had the opportunity to read it, and thank you for your kind words! 🫶🏻

Thank you for always returning!

Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it! If you look at my devlogs you can see I update regularly. More coming soon! 😁

It’s ok, I love your excitement, truly! I was just thinking tumblr would have been a better alternative.

Your art is absolutely gorgeous! Though the comments section isn’t exactly appropriate for that. Do you happen to have a tumblr account? That would be a better place to share it—you could tag me and I’d be happy to share it with my followers. ❤️

❤️

Thank you so much! That is quite the compliment, if I can get you to enjoy a type of media you usually don’t. 😁 I appreciate your words very much!

Don’t be worried about Tellus! All my ROs have plot armor, I could never kill them. 😁 Tellus was a late addition, he wasn’t originally an RO and yes, he’s a bit of a spoiler. I do have a write up for him in this devlog if you’re interested: https://firfireweed.itch.io/cantata/devlog/963195/5th-ro

Aww, thank you! Hugs to you, too! 🤗

Thank you so much! My process for creating names is a bit of a word salad, lol. I do base my cultures on real life ones, and the Iredicci are based on Latin and Italian cultures, so I needed a word that sounded like it could be Latin or Italian. Then I concentrate on how they look on paper and how they sound in my head. Basically I just play around with syllables till I’m satisfied. 😁

Some of the names for my cities are real world places, or a mix of. Baricenza, for example, is a mix of Bari and Vicenza, and Inizi really does mean “beginnings” in Italian. There are so many amazing words and places that already exist, I don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time. 😊

Thank you so much for your kind words! And for following along with my writing for so long. It is very much appreciated! ❤️

The secondary weapon in his character art is the main gauche. Vicente doesn’t use a xiphos (at least he doesn’t use that kind). 😏

Aww, thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the characters and relationships.

No intimate scenes yet beyond a kiss available with Calliope in chapter 5 and a hand/cheek kiss with Corinne. BUT VERY SOON! The first sexually charged scenes occur in chapter 6. 😉

More is coming soon!

Glad to hear you got it fixed!

Thank you so much! ❤️ Woohoo, Calliope romancer!! 🙌🏻

Aww, thank you!

Thank you!

Hello! Saves should work; I'm afraid I don’t know why you’re having trouble. As long as you started a new file after the last update (chapter 4 broke saves and you needed to start over to play it), then chapter 5 shouldn’t give you any trouble.

❤️

That is quite the compliment, thank you! ❤️

Lol, glad you enjoyed it! 😁

Aww, that is lovely to hear, thank you! 🥹 I’m grateful to have discovered IFs and this community a couple years ago, and I’m still blown away by the reception and encouragement I’ve received. Thank you very much! ❤️

I plan 13 chapters. That may change as the story progresses, of course, but I don’t imagine it’d fluctuate much.

Thank you, Ri! This is a wonderful thing to hear from an author I respect so much! ❤️ I’ve gotta keep up with the angst in yours, lol. 😉

Lol, well I’m glad I wrote them so well. 😆 You are most welcome, thank you for the kind words! I hope you enjoy Cantata just as much. ❤️

Lol, thank you for returning! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ I hope you’ve caught up on sleep! 😅

Lol, glad you’re enjoying it! Good luck with that choice! 🫡

Lol, more is coming soon!

I had to pop this into Google translate and it was so worth it! Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

Thank you! I’m sure that name annoys Vicente to no end! 😆

You are most welcome! Thank YOU for your kind words!

Hello! This is ironic because one of the bands I listen to when writing is Skald, which is a French Nordic band. Their music very much has a viking-esque feeling to it! Another band I listen to often when writing is Faun, which is a German band that has a folk/pagan/medieval vibe going on. All of the above are what I picture for the Iredicci, but feel free to headcannon whatever you like best!

Aww, thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you for your kind words, and for creating an account in order to share them!🫶🏻 I look forward to sharing future chapters with you!

Lol, thanks for following along with the story! I love hearing when readers can’t decide on a route. 😁

That’s wonderful to hear, thank you!

Thank you, Power! ❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed that! I was like, FINALLY we can get these characters together and have some real conversations. 😁

Thank you for finally giving my story a try and for your kind words!
