Hi, health is restored gradually after each night. As for arena fights, the tournament starts every 10 days starting on day 4. If your slave is eliminated from the tournament, you have to wait for the next one to start.
I would be cautious about applying skips. The fact is that image buttons and image screens are often used in the game, as well as timers. And skipping can lead to unpredictable situations. Unfortunately, that's something I won't be able to change.
That's a good point. But the description of the combat mechanics is already in the game in the help menu. When you are in the hero's room with the slave girl, there is a question mark on the bottom left. This contains basic tips on how to play the game.
The important thing is that the button must be clicked accurately from the first attempt, if you click past it, you'll miss the hit from your opponent.
Here's a link to a video of the fight, if you're interested:
The mini-game during combat takes into account your flexibility and your opponent's. The worse your flexibility is, the less time you have to press the button. This difference also affects the size of the button. Perhaps the problem is that you do not hit the button accurately, or do not have time to do so.
What you need to do with the slave in the current chapter can be seen in the diary in your room. There is also a help menu in your room for basic game mechanics.
In the first chapter, the main task is to increase a slave's skills as a domestic servant to 12 stars on the sum of five skills: cooking, cleaning, rhetoric, manners, and caring. If you don't make it in 10 days, your master will refuse your services and the game is over. Also, the game may end if the balance of money the host has allocated drops to zero.
Thanks for the feedback. I fixed that annoying error and reloaded the game file. It should now work properly. But you have to start the new game, because Ren'Py does not update the code when you load a save.
