itch.io

That was more me thinking out loud lol I'm aware you don't know the itch app.

So, I checked my files via app --  this is the basic setup:

I didn't really see anything 'save' related beyond 'save location'. If you could reconstruct my save, that would be amazing; I sent a friend request on discord. But even if I'd have to wait a year for everything to be done (and I'm mainly here for the main girls to be completed), I'd just take the loss and be patient.  I checked one of my other app games and saw that those saves were lost too/the game reverted to the beginning like YU did, so I'm pretty sure this was a 'itch app update' issue -- nothing else makes sense. Gonna contact them and see what's up there. Thanks again for all your help!

I'm on a Mac; I've always played this game via the app (it's usually just - easier on Macs in general to download that way), but this was my first time doing an update. Still: I've never had any issues with updating other games, hence me being so freakin Confused. The only thing I can think of... maybe because I didn't do the last update? (I wanted to wait for one of the main girls' content before diving back in) But - that would be stupid, if that's the reason....

I'll do some digging around tomorrow and see if I can uncover some save files or roll back the update or - SOMETHING; put my Millennial to the test. If all that fails - I mean: there's nothing I can do - I'll have to play it from the beginning. Which will really suck, but... I guess I'll just wait for you to be finished with the entire game and then do it. I couldn't bear this happening to me again. Thanks for caring, regardless - you're awesome.

.....okay. I'm freaking out. Officially.

I was so Excited. I just updated my YU on the itch app seeing you just released a new one (yay - Hannah!!) -- but, upon starting the game, all my saves are gone. No saves. Nada. I will CRY.... I maxed out everyone and put SO MUCH EFFORT into all the girls -- is my data lost? Will I have to start over from the beginning???

(Not blaming you, obviously this is an itch thing - but this has NEVER happened with just an update here - what in the World....)

(Love how everyone here is a STAR and - just mentioned your b-day, over -- anything progress-related. We have: NAILED THE ASSIGNMENT)
And now my turn: Happy, happy b-day!! I hope you had an excellent one, took a break, and that the good times keep rolling~

And that's completely fine; there's so many variations to how each reader actually - 'reads', there's no way you could 'appease' us all -- and that's not the point. As I wrote: what felt like that for me may not have for others; this was never a 'you should change this' request, just me sharing since you asked (which I do appreciate; I just hope you don't get too focused on this one bit vs. - rest of my thoughts/feels for C8). :)

'(You'll ride the dragon soon 😼)' -- 😮😲🤩 BET. Will hold you to that. ;)

I can replay to find the specific one, but I couldn't remember off the top of my head beyond it being a transition from one scene to the next. *EDIT* Added (but again: this is more subjective/matter of opinion than anything 'wrong'):


to this:


I remember feeling a bit confused on what was happening when I was just in the gardens with Vez. There was no mention of (unless I missed it): Them meeting at the tower, having a plan to do so, going somewhere afterward. Was it a surprise? It felt like I missed a conversation they may have had(?).

And:



to:


This one felt abrupt to me; I was so into the moment, and I think I expected something after my MC thinking 'You're so, so lost.', (it felt dreamy and pensive and weighted) - beyond - 'The next day!' I think I thought more introspection would follow.

Others may not have felt this at all, but I do hope it helps to at least know how I read/took it!

*Me - opening up chapter 8 (spill tea path) and seeing it's title like: OH BOI....* XD HERE WE GO, RI - HERE. WE. GO. 🤣
*THEN, me: opening chapter 8 (Traitors Edition) and seeing - - Dark Side RED, like - 🫣🤫🫡 RIIII hahaha

You were right: While there's a few similarities in the beginning, the two branches Def veer wildly in different directions to get to the same goal. Given how HUGE/BIG last chapter was, 8 is more a transition chapter. Not as BOOM BOOM, but - Necessary, all the same. It gives us (readers) a breather. To me, it honestly felt less plot focused (more: setting UP coming plot) and more... series of vignettes between MC and their chosen lover at this point. And here's where I scream talk about my Mains~

(I did Vez 1st last time, so we start with AZ) Ri - I don't know if it's the POWA era or if my MC is just feeling herself, now, picking Morana + Selene, but I am *Liking* -- nay - - LOVING C energy she's giving. And, suddenly - Azzie's the opposite(???) - so CUTE and awkward and bashful and - *gulp*. While my MC's all - 'hmmm... should I torture her, make her - Scream her secrets...~?' (GURL) 👀🔥 I don't know if this is specific variant from my choices, but: Did I snag: *Best* Timeline? SURE DID.
Azzie's big reveal made -- so much sense - but also came as a surprise. I loved seeing her demonic form (so purdy~) and I loved how my MC went after bae. What made me really fall for Az, was (their random, goofy hijinks, let's be real) how they never treated MC different. The fact they now have this Huge Empathy between them is - Beautiful as it is anxiety-inducing since they're now Official(TM) and my MC is 100% going to betray Team Royals. She and I BOTH know she's starting something only to end it. You TOLD ME this wouldn't break my route (👁️), and now knowing what we do on Az, they would have the Most understanding on Why MC chose what they chose - but - still not loving the prospects here, Ri....

Now - Vez(aka 'Domvereign'): Quite a lot of progress, relationship-wise, here! While Az had a bit more focus on plot/their internal/secrets, Vez's felt more about spending actual time with MC. I wanted to highlight a specific part I loved: 

‘You expect that this is something you’ll hear often, but you don’t feel upset over it. You knew what you were getting into, and you said as much to her. You weren’t lying.’ <— 10/10. Don’t know if all Vez-mancers think this, but I LOVE how Mature my MC is. This could - - Easily - - have been a Huge point of contention for the relationship, but it’s kinda Awesome you didn't go that route. I also, Fully, smiled into my hand - - 'waaaaah, I Love this gaaame' - with Vez "Come here" moment after MC told Vez whole truth(and was - Freaking the F out).

Adooooreeed flying to farms/lake scene. It felt like I finally got to see a part of Vez Vez I never was allowed back in le Kingdom? Wings bit was yum (My MC: 'I wanna ride a Dwagon!' -  'I wanna - ride a Dwagon~ 😏 Let us RIDE the DRAGON, RI) I loved how they talked, how there's still... this sense of: 'can't tell you Everything' between them -- mixed with my MC's distrust on Vez/her circle. But there's also so much YEARNING; my God - those two are Obsceeeene. For some reason, I thought Az's route would be more Vez (going slow) and Vez's would be Az (BEHAVE) -- but am I Complaining?? Not a peep. My po' MC's bout to explode, and - oof~ I can't wait to see Vez make good on those threats for. Science.....
As a (small) critique: I will say some of the parts in Vez's route felt a little - clipped + abrupt. Like there was meant to be a bit more transition between pages. Nothing crazy terrible; just me thinking: 'whoa - did I miss something?'

Great chap chap, as always, m'dear. I feel things will get REAL in both branches with 9 (Here we go, Again~) Can't wait. :D

Just waiting to buy the last chap at the beginning of March (so I don't waste a month/i.e. only get 4 days before being charged again be Patreon 🙃).

I hope you feel so extremely proud of yourself for completing this. It always came off as this little side project you were having fun with while you worked on your other games, but I feel like it's - so Come into it's own now, it's right up there in the BIG LEAGUES with the others. I personally love PM so much (was rapt the moment I took a chance on the first chapter) and can't Wait to see the other seasons~

Thank you for the journey (will scream at you later after finishing it ;)) 💜

🥹🥳❤️‍🔥

I'm prepared physically and mentally (but not emotionally) LOL
Hopefully you've been getting good feedback from all the early readers!! ❤️

One more day!!! One more daaaay!!! :D

Soon, my Queen (Elora - DUH) - SOON....

I'm actually so Excited to play the whole romance through again once the whole game comes out--it's *That* good. And I can't wait to see your new additions! Great job as always and: FINISH STRONK 💪🏾💛

….you scare me when you use that ‘👀’.

God; how will you - Break us THIS TIME, Ri…. 🤣

Being a beta tester myself - - Blessings to all the Brave betas testing this chapter. Your deaths  sacrifices will not be in vain. 😬😂

Great job getting it done!! Super excite to see the different branches after BIG CHOICE last chappie.

Ahahahahahaha *offers virtual hugs*

Such is the Creative Process(TM) -- you KNOW that! Nothing ever goes as planned. What matters is that you get the Result the delays make *Better*. I think it's a good idea to not put pressure on yourself by giving dates if that's not working for you; just giving rough percentages of progress in the different areas is more than enough for me. Still so excited for this chapter(and my fav Badass MC~)

Happy New Year and be Kind to yourself! 🥂

DOOOO EEEEET (I won’t even charge you a dollar each time you do ;)) 😆❤️

New poster is a BANGER. (Honestly, loved original as well -- but this one feels like we're on Season 2 after first season set things up~) I also can't wait to know a certain Featured someone so much better.... 😏

More than anything: I hope you don't let yourself get too frustrated with your own progress. 'Perfection is the enemy of greatness'; I get wanting to put something out you see as worthy, but don't get so stuck in your own head that it paralyzes you. You're an amazing writer/artist and you've done fabulous with what you've built thus far. You've got this! ❤️

Aw snap!! Just saw 8 was out! And when I sorely needed a pick-me-up -- Bless and Bless~

Thank you for your hard work and can't wait to read (and - mayhaps - get a kiss/apology) ❤️

Honestly, 2025 has been such a crapshoot (in so many freakin ways), that I'm merely impressed you've taken the time to keep us updated. Life is life and there's no pause. You have to do what you have to do until things eventually turn around--and they will. I'm very sorry to see hardware disappointments, job losses and additional stresses put on your plate; I only hope seeing people still rooting for you (esp for something as rare as the content you're providing with such fabulously faceted/diverse characters) gives you a bit of needed dopamine along the way.

Thank you for the considerate update and take care of yourself. ❤️

Was so incredibly surprised to find a game like this even existed. (As mentioned)There's way too little out there where you can be a fem MC pursuing (serious)female ROs -- let alone games where you get multiple options, all of them being wholesome as fwa. Scarlett was my fav, but I genuinely enjoyed all the girls and their chemistry with each other + their various identities/journeys. Bravo making a space for them that felt so damn comfortable and safe to experiment in -- and it DIDN'T feel like fan service/ick. (The parties were the freakin Beeest 💯) Even the side chars were interesting/charming~

I salute you, m'dear. Cheering you on all the way: Way to be the change you wanna see!! ❤️‍🔥

Glad to see smiles were mutual then~ And don't think I forgot you were sick through writing 7; really hope you're patting yourself on the back. ❤️

Something I forgot to mention about Among Us angst branch: THANK YOU for giving MCs so many options on WHY they chose it. I mean: I love pulling out my evil cackle as much as the next girl, but I so, so appreciated the very valid reasons MC would go for it. There was such vindication in: 'I've always been powerless -- why NOT know more than survive -- just once?' Yum~

Ri -- you continue to leave me stupid Impressed with the extent of your plot. The scene with MC's mom; the Oracle reveal; the Selene expansion!! Had me literally smiling and shaking my head in awe because I saw all your lil plot points making beautiful lines from earlier chaps to get here. Bet that was a great feeling for you~ 👏🏾

Always had the feeling this was going to be a heavy story (just let my bb MC be haaa-peeeeee 😭😂) -- but that BRANCH, Ri. The BRANCH. And oc, I have to commit to BOTH for science. I was too weak to do, what I call 'POWA route' on my Vez roll (doesn't MC have *Enough* to deal with?), but - - DARN YOU - - I done did it with Azaria. Still hurts; but kinda... feels fitting since they both have the huge secrets? Like, I feel you'll hurt me so good with those two... And Az may even surprise me.... (Look: rivalmance. It'd be hot.) But out of all the ROs, I feel they'll be the one most able to catch MC on their lies + having to hide/play the game with such a skilled opponent (while falling in looove) really excites me.

As for romanticals: Vez won this round for me. I am liking - nay, loving - the peeks of 'Domvereign' coming out. (and my MC poking it with the Biggest stick~) Can't wait to see what else they're starved for besides kisses~ 😏 While I was weak on branch, I did have my MC be distrustful for (more)angst; wouldn't it be interesting if Ves (or posse) DID arrange poisoning MC. 👀

Az on the other hand was a surprise(not bad). Admittedly, didn't go down the way I thought it would: them being in this limbo on what they are. I think this was the least tease-y I've seen Az -- which made me think they were really affected by MC's poisoning. Mayhaps they're also scared? It's like even Az had to figure out what to be in the wake of how much MC means to them. Loved: 'playing with fire' line on their stats, btw -- oh, AZ - you have NO IDEA...~

'FED', you say? 👀👀 We love some romantic path yum yums~

Can't wait to dig in later -- so excited to see what you came up with after the last chapter! Thank you, as always for your awesome hard work (also: love you betas -- know what that's like lol ❤️)

Is anyone else having problems downloading the latest update (Mac)? I keep getting 'forbidden' errors in the middle of downloading -- I've tried 3 times now.
*Edit* Still no luck. Starting to wonder if this is because of the recent adult game ban....

That this literally happened on my birthday -- bless and bless 🙏🏾❤️‍🔥
Thanks for the hard work~ Love this game so much; can't wait to check out the update!

Why, thank you~ *surreptitiously side-eyes user name* You'll. Never guess what day it is.... 😂❤️‍🔥 (I'll take a frisky Vez and an Aza in my bunk, if you do ;))

Happy to see it's your passion -- but even passions can burn us out. You know you, best, so I'm sure you'll be fine, but just know there's zero rush no matter how slow (or fast!) you go. 🫶🏾

….I mean - a ‘nothingburger’ is still a burger, so… 🍔 😋 Though - how DARE you not finish this chapter during my BURFDAY MONTH??? (kidding)

Sad to see you were not only sick multiple times, but now surgery is happening. Of course you’re stressed out; please stop writing/working if it doesn’t bring you joy. It’s not and will never be worth it. We’re willing to wait for Quality, so you just focus on getting better, dear. ❤️‍🩹

'And yes, the Cloaked Silhouette will be romancable too ;)' <-- say. LESS.

Overjoyed; humbled; rattling bars of enclosures. I think I mentioned previously how much I love romance and - yoooo, am I excited how THIS One will play out! Esp since I play my baby forest hermit as super Guarded/No Risks type (with a begrudgingly good heart feedin her ungrateful keeds).  Also interested why Silhouette would be attracted -- well, no. Why *wouldn't* you fall for an Awesome QUEEN? (I'm not biased, you're biased)

I think you nailed everything you were going for with this chapter; 'A Crack in the Wall' is a fab title. Not only her own wall -- but the wall of the 'perfect' world she's built hiding away from the world and trash people (#Goals). It all seems like it's falling apart, all at once and you see she realizes she can't stop it; so -- let's save as much as we can and take as many as we can down with us. I like MCs that are quite aware the Real World isn't kind and something *WILL* be lost, but dammit - "I'mma lose Well."

(Don't have tantrums over your backgrounds, lovely -- from one art keed to another. You're great at what you do. *pat pats* ❤️) Srsly: I'm so impressed you're not only writing all this, but serving awesome visuals as well - hot damn~

Props to boyfriend -- send my regards. Completely agree. I'm sure it was so much harder on you; but I can say I would have lost a Lot of enjoyment feeling railroaded into helping Prisoner for no good reason (esp given how I'm building my MC). Surprisingly, I did end up regenerating him -- but it was *MY* choice. And I liked the reasons you gave for it: To - not knowing why the heck to - 'it felt like I had to do it, bro'. Not just being a nice person for nice sake. Do whatever's best for you, but I say, if you ever come up with a better idea for something -- never feel afraid to edit your baby! We're all aware it's a work in process~ Making it the best you can is nothing but an act of love and you should be able to play in your sandbox however you want to.

I just discovered this ban (and - its subsequent Effect on nearly all the damn games I currently play 😭) and I'm so disappointed/could scarcely believe it. At least glad to see it's not keeping you from fulfilling your vision the way you see it. Adults should be able to do Adult things.

I'm definitely already following you, and this has been in my favs, so hopefully, I'm good - but I'll follow wherever you go. Hate the inconvenience on your end, but you've got a loyal fan out of me. ❤️

Played ch. 2 over the weekend and - you are NOT playing around with it, are you? 🤣🔥 And I mean that in the BEST possible way -- like: Gloves are - OFF. We're IN IT, now~

Absolutely adored this second round; I can't tell you how many times I straight up slapped my laptop with glee and/or Beamed because, gosh DARNIT, I love baby MC so much (such a BAMF). Like, it's one thing to have memorable characters in general, but when I Utterly loooove who I'm playing as (or - love to hate them)? That's such an achievement and I give you all your flowers for it. Every. single. time. I hoped 'ooh - let MC be able to make this choice'; 'let her be able to be pissed off about this' -- you GAVE IT. Gave us that autonomy to really make her our own (and not this weeby woobie, 'I guess I'll just take it and pout in a corner' type). We already established she's a Stronk woman - but... she is so Human and deliciously faceted. Mmmm~ One of my fav parts was with Derek and this line: "But what does Derek know about the world?" 👈🏾👏🏾👑 There’s this Bitter, Angry thing within MC and - she’s not afraid of Letting it Out.

Kay: other notes I wrote so I wouldn't forget:

• Continue to be so Impressed with the art — even seeing things in the backgrounds - like deers or birds popping in and out of the composition was such a Nice touch! 

• Absolutely ADORED the music; especially 1st song that plays at the beginning of this chapter. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous~

• Love that you made regenerating Prisoner (named him Red~) a CHOICE. You could have easily wrote us into whatever Plot you pleased; so I appreciated having the ability to decide my role in his fate. ("And if he turns out to be a danger… I’ll end him." *SNAP SNAPS TO INFINITY* STHAAP - I CANNOT LOVE QUEEN MOOOAAAR 👑)

• On the technical side: just a few typos, here and there - like words stuck together, misspelled, or a letter where punctuation should be. (You did amazingly for English not being your 1st language - more flowers 💐) That and sometimes, the sprites' ‘blink’ animation wouldn't work when they’re all on the same screen.

Lastly - please: I am BEGGING YOU: LET CLOAKED SILHOUETTE CHICK BE ROMANCEABLE 🤣 (joking, but I’m serious) I need some hotblooded mage/rebel action. 👀👀 Speaking of romance: AW SNAP - we can romance the Prisoner!! It seemed like the obvious choice - but I still think it’ll be an interesting ‘route’. I already think I know who he is given that conversation with village elder in old church..... ;)

.....not gonna lie: Shocked there are no discussions here thus far with 2 chapters out. And I thought I was late to the party lol

WELL: I just finished chap 2 in the public release and I have to say -- Holy Sh** - - hands down some of the best NSFW/explicit scene writing I've seen in an IF. Like: my GOD -- it felt like I was an ADULT reading something made for an ADULT. Accept my standing ovation you cannot hear. Deliciously detailed, gratuitous in length (thank you very much~) and just plain Hot. Especially for F/F content; because in this house, we stan/actively ignore a Maxine for the lawls. F you for it all being a dream, tho. You got me. Not even mad. haha Though, to be fair, I didn't expect Max to be behind that door. SURELY, le author wouldn't give us the good goods so early in the story~? And since Ivy-Rose is my new adopted child, I would have been just as happy getting a scene where we comfort baby after a nightmare given the day's cray events....

Besides feeling obligated to tell you how well you write sex -- you've really sold me on the entire concept. I was instantly intrigued with stolen identity/Desperation bit; and wondered if Max would be like it is now: them knowing we're a fraud from jump or us having to actively deceive them (buh - what I didn't plan on - - was falling in Luuuuurve)/keep up the illusion. Both are fun, though it's def interesting having your biggest adversary also be a Full ass accomplice at this point.
Admittedly: also hard for me to get into stories where the MC is obviously besotted with [chosen LI] before I, as a reader, fall for them. (There's some serious Soulmatism up in hurr) Still Screaming at my baby love MC to KEEP HER MF-ing GUARD UP -- but flowers because I legit felt the attraction/butterflies MC does whenever Max chooses to actually be a decent human being. I also like that my MC is TRYING with a capital 'T' to actually get a grip/not so basic they don't constant remember how much is at stake here. They get a few wins in a game Very Much stacked against them, and I appreciate that. There's still too much of a power imbalance for me to be perfectly at ease with the idea of those two together (and - dammit, that dream really showed how much MC wants/needs/craves a Max to admit how much they're Feeling this too, huh...?) - still. I'm enjoying the ride. I have spotted the little tells Max is affected, whether they like it or not....

Wish I could support on Patreon (and get that next chapter), but at very least I hope these words/good vibes provide a bit of joy from those of us grateful to get a free version. ❤️

Added! ❤️‍🔥
So proud of you, dear -- it's always Gratifying seeing creators be able to stick with their projects and get to Major milestones like this. Well done!!

‘Your first (short!) romantic choice’ — say LESS, darling 👀 lol

Chap 1 was such a great intro - can’t wait to continue! Love seeing these healthy progress updates!!

Was so Excited to see the demo for the 2nd Arcadie out given how much I freakin' ADORED Second Born -- and it didn't disappoint. So satisfying (but also sad b/c losing all my family hit me all over again 😭) being back in this world and getting to continue my (Queen)baby's story. The pace felt brisk after you're officially crowned, but I didn't hate it as that's, no doubt, how our MC Royal feels with having all these duties thrust upon them.

First bit, after coronation, was especially gratifying since I romanced Willeen and it felt like the intimacy/moment I was CRAVING from the first book since it was such a slow burn. Second Born's end felt a tad rushed since there was so much ground to cover, and compared to Cyril, I missed having more of those romantic moments where W could express themself outside their mask of duty/professionalism. Already, in this 2nd book, I feel we're getting sooo much MORE of W; seeing who they are now that they've Well and Accepted they're in love. And that they can no longer seem to resist the fact, either. 😏 That doesn't mean it's turbulence-free (looking forward to the whole 'marry' ordeal); and I'd have it no other way~

One question I did have -- and this is 100% given as solely honest curiosity/feedback: I was curious to see the difference between sex scenes between M/F and a F/F partners in W/MC route -- and the former had more description than the latter. Couldn't help wondering if it was just - -more familiarity with M/F intimacy writing or if it just happened to end up that way. Do you have sensitivity testers for that sort of thing?

Glad I found this! Very interesting premise and I enjoyed the characters a lot -- but honestly: More than anything - I freakin Loved my MC. Don't know if it was intentional or not, but it felt like some Serious coding was put into just -- developing/tracking who they are, personality-wise, as you go. More than once, I was straight out lawl-ing at my sarcastic, baby Carter (almost wrote 'Cowboy Carter' XD) just being a witty butt who cares too much like her fah-ver.

Because I know no other way: It doesn't surprise me I ended up on the Z(ora) route. (Literally)Everything telling me NOT to be with this super stoic, obvious risk-for-me person? SIGN ME UP

Very much a slow burn given we're at chap 8 (and the end of the 1st book!), but I do hope for some kind of Big PUSH between MC/Z. I don't mind a realistic wait; but it felt like something significant was unlocked in Z in 8 that should give big returns in near future. (like that stoicism crumbling into itty bitty bits and Bold happening 👀) It's so hard to read Z and how they feel about MC (- want? shy? desperate? terrified?), everything hits so much Harder when it *does* show. Genuinely hope 9 gives us something juicy~ We've Earned it, haven't we, dear author? ;)

Thanks so much for sharing this with the world. Wishing the best and looking forward to where you go from here! ❤️

👀👀 RUUUUUDE hahaha
Can't wait~ ❤️

'Delicious - friction', you say...? 👀 😏
Tbf, my Vez romancing Oracle is so intimacy-starved/convinced she's not gonna get those crumbs, it likely won't be an issue (i.e. she has other things to worry about -- like her lover's line murdering her entire peoples). But if by 'friction' you mean Vezriel getting confronted with 'I don't feel loveeed/you love your job more than meeee' bratty MC; not gonna lie: I'm interested. As in: Unintentional broken promises/negligence. Vez comes off as such a caring/protective lover, it's quite hard thinking them heedless when truly needed. But if they are -- how will they make it up to MC? hmmm~

Chapter 6 was - - Awesooome. Loved the progression. Admittedly shocked by big reveal (what a *Twist*~) , but more in a 'Completely didn't expect it' way. Didn't think mother dearest would be part of the plot beyond -- trauma the MC has to get over. 🤣 But Selene's 'Command' comment... reaaaally makes you think, considering.... Can't say I was 'expecting' this; but - trusting the vision.

(Since I have 2 babes, I'll give summaries on both's C6 shenanigans)
Vez: Digging the slow burn of it all; Obvious we can't just be with the Sovereign for -  - reasons. But I appreciate it's not this dramatic affair: It feels Realistic and I'm enjoying Vez slowly cracking. (😈) Seeing a very Vulnerable face to bae was gratifying; I also really enjoyed how you detailed MC missing them. (-- and we can't forget Lap action~). I feel like this romance is going to be quite Mature given you repeatedly see in this chapter Vezriel can't/won't give up everything for you/put you above their Duty. 

Az: THAT. KISSS - OOF 🔥 Chasing lips and Confuzion -- AAH!! Adored every friggin moment with these 2: 'Cooking with Azaria' warmed my heart. As did: 'Potential murder and arson with Azaria'. (we Love a Layered bae~) Az continues to confound me in the Best way with how they seem so fearless/nonchalant with any kind of pleasurable intimacy, but also so lost/cautious with MC. Somehow, you manage to show so Clearly what they want, without actually confirming it -- Sorcery. Also? Really, really appreciated how my MC wanted more from Az, but stopped + admitted they deserved space/it was MC's problem - not Az's. That just felt so Deliciously Healthy and Respect.

I love playing these two routes so much b/c they feel so Damn Satisfying right after the other~ Fabulous update as always -- and I'm so happy you got to part in story you've been waiting for so long for!! (BEST Feeling - 10/10)

Sad, but true. 🤷🏾‍♀️ On that note - is this why people at the party treated my ‘little more brown’ MC as a servant? If so, I thought it was a nice touch given the times.

Oh!! I was waiting on the first full chap of this one since I played the demo when you first posted it — and Here we Are!! Excited to read what’s new~ Will update  with impressions after, but wanted to give congrats 🎉 

*Edit* oh my Heavenly Stars! (Now I know why it’s called this because latest demo is a Doozy~ First and foremost: Thank you for the author’s note at the beginning describing the difficult (if not outright Terrible) themes in this and how you’re staying true to history. These things HAPPENED and these stories need to continue being told. On that note, I also appreciated the ‘historical facts’ page; I imagine quite a few people don’t know about the true horrors that came with this age/industry. Even at the start with MC’s mom’s pregnancy, you get straight into it and I love that.

I think my favorite, but also heartbreaking (you awful, genius writer, you) was with Olivia (the best friend) that you grew up with. I chose the same sex romance — b/c Duh and - sucker for lovers growing up together — and while you *KNEW* how it was going to end, it STILL had me in my Feels. (whyyyy didn’t my MC say she loves HERRRR - waaaaah) You did such an amazing job with just a few scenes, selling that. Well done.

Utterly Adore my starlet and all she’s shaping out to be. Also love that ‘obedient’ doesn’t immediately translate to subservient’ in this story. She’s well rounded and feels like a real human instead of a list of traits. All the characters are so compelling, but the relationship between mom and MC is just - - Oof. I think it’s so interesting we not only get into the mind of a movie star at this time — but one who was also the child of a famous one (because we All know that always ends well….).

This was Exactly what I hoped for and you More than delivered. Delighted to read (i.e. be addicted) to another one of your stories!
