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..... ;)

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!

I mean - I'll Absolutely give constructive feedback if I feel it warranted (in a respectful way, oc), as a writer/creative myself, since it truly helps, but this first chappie was a 'no notes' for me. There was nothing in it that felt blatantly 'off' or incongruent or oof. Just a solid + fabulous start, like I mentioned. Be PROUD 🎉 

And - YASSSS, MC QUEEN~ We love a 'Damsel in DETERMINED'. I'm glad that you don't fall to that trope as it's as tired as it is Overplayed. Can't wait to see all her 'Girl Boss' moments in action (she had a few in ch. 1!!) -- I already knew from playing your earlier works this would be epic; so zero doubt you'll nail this and give us such a great time!

Finally got a chance to play!! I liked it! :D

The art is distinctive and lovely, the premise was well delivered (not too much that I felt WEIGHED DOWN by lore I didn't understand): Just enough to give an idea of the state of this world and why things are what they are. Also felt like the first chapter did a great job of setting up future events and giving you a taste of the cast of characters; I wasn't expecting a family-type situation (which auto gives MC more to lose). 

Le Prisoner is very much a fun mystery I'm interested in finding more about. His reveal was amazing and I appreciated the extent of torture wasn't held back; he's clearly been through terrible, terrible things and you can't help wondering the why.... The end of the chap only seems to confirm ish is about ta get REALEST -- and honestly? THANK YOU for giving a main who's not staying ignorant, but realizing things are about to change/she needs to stay Ready.

Looking forward to the next, darling! ❤️

I humbly request a ‘Grumpy Warlock’ badge for my commitment to the cause. (I’d also take Kaia in a ‘Foxy Grandma’ hat if you’re feeling generous. 😆)

My hot take: I think K is just a far more Mature romance than many are used to/want to deal with. It’s not the ‘high school, twitterpated, doki doki in spring’ kind of route — you have to Werk. And there’s really no guarantee (beyond you making K a LI, so there must be some chance lol) that your efforts will pay off. K straight up tells you to cut that nonsense out. (There’s also ‘immortal’ bit, but I like that sort of thing.) But I’m truly rapt by my MC and K’s dynamic; how they’re so freakin REAL. I can’t wait to see all those walls crumble; bit by bit. Incremental K affection is just that rewarding~ And I feel like they have to earn my MC too. Scene I mentioned also did a great job showing K has to contribute or might lose out as well. (dum dum Duuuum)

You’re absolutely right that in this kind of setting (and let’s not forget the ridiculous amount of trauma that has to come with growing up like Desma did!!), there Absolutely is a case for her acting this way. It could be perfectly plausible she doesn’t know how to express/process all she’s feeling in a healthy manner. It definitely feels like a cry for help. For me, however, it was just the severity and sudden of it. Feeling it came out of nowhere. (Admittedly: was also confused why a badass assassin like Des would need to set a tent on fire in the first place. If she wanted my guy dead, she could have done it quick and clean and melted into the night lol)

I look forward to seeing those reasons~ And I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my fb/glad it helped! I truly do think this IF has amazing bones (again: *Obsessed* with the thought of Desma/my MC) and wish the best for its future. ❤️

Used the weekend to re-read from chapter 1 (10/10 - would recommend) since I needed the refresh, and - wow: Was it great to rediscover this story again. Loved chapter 12. I have a particular penchant for great dialogue-focused scenes, so an entire update, literally, focused on the dynamics of people sitting around talking (or not!) to each other, and the hidden/blatant of their motives -- Delish~ Adore your convo volleys; your use of repetition; how MC feels like their own layered and deeply interesting character. They're really falling apart, huh? 😂 Looking forward to seeing those limits....

Being in the elite and exclusive faction that is K lovers (Kaia for me), I was pleasantly surprised how much interaction we got with them in a place you'd think wouldn't afford a lot of intimate moments! Kudos for -- Realistically (cuz we know Fae Queen be side-eying) -- weaving those in. When K used my hunter's first name, no lie, I had an Entire visceral reaction. I was like: '....whoaaa....'; kinda expected MC to scream 'HOLY SH*T!!' haha Fav bit - beyond that - had to be talk about K sitting next to MC. The - 'why? why? YES - WHY' -- Screaaaming~ Such a good meal~
Very much worth the wait and I'm grateful you're so committed to keeping up with this. Here's hoping you enjoy every fruit of your labors! ❤️

You tease! haha Don't threaten me with a good time~ 😎
Best of luck with next chappie; the world's crazy so please take your time and have fun with it!

This is Fabulous -- really enjoyed the read. Especially intrigued with the plot as I feel you (1) don't get to play a demon often (and you're not evil); (2) the 'Oracle' background is mysterious as it is interesting; (C) fighting a slow insanity? Say less~

You have to have a really compelling MC; the balance between who they already are with the story you've crafted/their past + who we make them into as we play. And you nailed it: I really love that my poor baby bop has some serious trauma with being abandoned and just - phony peeps using her. That going into the romance: my MC isn't easy and is suspicious of everyone's motivations (like, 'why would you love me, you dirty Liar'). You can see them catching feelings in routes, but it's very - - Careful. And I appreciate that. You can tell LIs realize it too, in their own way. That they're gonna have to work for it.

Speaking of (!): My favs are Vezriel (we love a Queen~) and Azaria -- which is funny b/c they feel like opposite ends of the spectrum, but they have similars as well. I love how protective Vez is and that - - (subdued/royal)humor. And her little bolds. When she suddenly wanted to spar, it was one of my fav bits - I was shocked - and it was hot? I don't know: Vez unexpected does things to me. lol And I love how Azaria comes across as this play-girl who really won't care about MC -- but the route was really deep (rings!!)! Her spontaneity and how she's somehow - honest, but still hides herself is delicious. (Also: music hotties will get me every time.) And I beamed with moment she caries MC and then -- suddenly breaks out running -- the GOOBER. Feel like my Damaged(TM) baby *needs* that.

Thank you so much for all your efforts and sharing this with us! Rooting for you and looking forward to all you have in store! ❤️ *Edit* Also loved the bonus moments!! Yassss, alpha-bet!!! 😋😏

Hell YEA - WoC MC! (And she looks like ME~ *le gasp* It's like it's 2025, or something 🙃🤣)

Also a TND OG and I'm so, so glad to see you back - and, hopefully, in a much better place. Honestly: Main goal of actually finishing a game is Best Goal(TM) and you have my support. It reads like you have things well planned out and that you've given yourself Realistic expectations/goals, so I have no doubt this will be a success~ I will 'say': Romance is my *thing*, but I'll always choose Quality over quantity (I just really hope if there's 2 ROs, we get female or NB if the 1st is a guy).
Above all: Life is LIFE, so be kind to yourself. Cheering you on -- you got this!

So. I'm of two minds with this one:

Admittedly - I play for a great romance over an overly complex plot, but I did enjoy the worldbuilding + grand narrative you're trying to craft here. I thought the first few chapters (esp the orgin bit) were fabulous for really connecting you with the characters, grounding you in the setting, and defining who your MC is. As I went on, however, it felt like those things were lost: The writing felt looser, the transitions abrupt. The biggest thing I just couldn't accept was the progression of Desma's romance; I *Adore* her -- childhood friend who grew up just like MC and can understand her like no one else? Say - less. But over the span of - 10-ish chapters? The 'will they/won't they' devolved into: '...why aren't they having a conversation at this point on their feelings? There's so much time for it?' It felt like MC, despite Desma making it clear she loves (if not at very least cares about) her, never had the option of being brave and just - Going for it. There's less choices for intimacy or flirty moves that show interest. And even if my MC does something that shows - 'Yes, Desma - I choose YOU', it's like an afterthought that's never spoken of again. Then Desma is trying to set people on fire ... what Happened to her? Just her feeling neglected (and again, it felt like the MC should have been able to lock in her romance there) doesn't sell her suddenly being unhinged. I'm all for twists in character development, but I don't see the roots. 

It's really a shame this turned out this way as I was really excited at the beginning. I think you have a great story to work with, but I do hope you go back and re-work romance progression more.

I mean, technically - getting ‘bloody’ and getting ‘wet’ could be 2 birds, 1 stone… MC is nothing if not efficient lol 

Thank you so much for your hard work! So excited to read! ♥️

Which is only a compliment to you, really~ Rest assured: I don't spend time on things that don't properly intrigue me. I even replayed scenes (which is like - Highest praise from me lol). But it was really fun going through all the options to discover more on these lovely ROs. V, especially, I think, will be one to watch given they had the most - - Interesting intro, by far - but now seem 'normal' and sweet.

Ah - our busy RA, always so busy~ I don't worry on my MC winning M's heart; not after seeing their chemistry (gold); and I feel M doesn't (genuine)laugh and (real)smile for just anyone. (I could write a thesis on their lil impromptu philosophy date....) So looking forward to getting inside college Yoda's head next chap. <3

Really like this one - all the parts just Hit with me. It’s compelling, but it’s all fairly common too, a new dish from regularly used ingredients… and I can’t help wondering when the other shoe will drop and that Dark edge will sting….

I adore well-written characters Most, so I have to give flowers for Céline (blwushy baaaybee) and Dumitra (already in love); they’re the ones you think you’ll know, so easy to be stereotypes; yet both Completely exceeded my assumptions of them. Love that. Played through all the routes to see where they’d go, and my fav is Maxine (I do so love a challenge~) But I did wonder - why M doesn’t have a POV scene like the rest? Is it to keep them mysterious?

Finally (BLESS) had time to get to chapter 5!! First: Happy New Year! B) Thank you for this meal. What a Looong, Delicious chapter! So much Ground covered—Utterly Worth the wait. 🤤♥️

Poor MC really went through this round - OUCH. Gets some damage healed only to get more right after — po’ thing. But am I extremely happy having 3 Captivating ladies to now choose from/make that up to me? MM-YEUP. Zahn was always a cutie (but like - cute/hot, which is hard to pull off)and I love her banter(- -THANK YOU for having LI who calls main ‘SEXY/GORGEOUS’ - seems simple; doesn’t happen enough); then you have charmer, wolfy Duri who shows this stunning vulnerability and soft side/consent - - but also flirts with others and can’t feelings OR KISS YOU PROPERLY. And now you add Rune who’s all in touch with her freakin feelings/super mature - ‘but I’m BORED, everyone pines for me’ - your flirts have Failed - singer-healer — and I don’t know, Lunan! I do. not. Know. 

Really, it’s such a great problem to have because they all have such DEPTH. And they all kinda treat you like they’re unavailable, but they want you at the same time — I DUNNO Really appreciated how Zahn’s ‘fooling around’ scene was handled, tho - not everyone can write good intimate scene, but I also love when they feel GREAT no matter the bits.

Special shout out to Garza (best new side with 3 lines and they were all GOOOLD) and Ride-or-Die wolf baby. Hope you’re enjoying well deserved break and I will see you at chap 6! 🫡

Went into this game - Completely blind, not even knowing what to expect. And - - *WOW*; did you utterly blow away my expectations. Should have guessed when you reference Once in A Lifetime + Eternum. ;)

Completely fair to have an Adult game be sexy just to be sexy if that's what you're going for -- but it is BEST FEELING when I find ones whose plot is so damn Compelling, the 'sex' is secondary. Love the characters you've made and how Conflicted I feel traversing past + present. The animation and music is also Amaaazing~ You've got a fan out of me -- well DONE. 

Okay, okay, okay -- gonna post my thoughts on the Limited/Christmas chappies here since you said you were interested in getting more feedback. **SPOILERS for people have NOT read chapters 9/10....

So, you know I'm an Elora Stan(TM); she's my route. Chap 8 was essentially an Ellie chap (the ending - OOF), so I was excited to see what would happen after all that.
9 was definitely more transitional/informational/tying up loose ends. Not bad in any sense of the word, but you can see that you had a clear goal to set up the next big event(s). It was great seeing fam again and they definitely felt like a big focus -- as well as the status of relationships you currently had with them. I will say, sometimes it felt a bit repetitive, like with the 'having Ancient Ones power or not and MC telling each person how they felt/each person asking MC about it', for example. Wondered where the usual 'bold/shy ❤️' options went as well. I also Reaaallly wanted a Morning After scene. It was my MCs first time, and it made me sad we didn't have even small bit on the impact of that before Elora had to go do Queenie tingz. But overall? Solid chap.

Chapter 10, however? CHAP 10, RAMONA -- it had action, it had Romance (moar steamy bits - Blesssss), it had intrigue, it had plot *twists*. And LONG! So freakin Impressed!! I can only speak of following Elora to save Hadi (because oc, I'm staying with short wife, even though you keep trying to - TEAR USSSS APAAART) -- but it was such a Fab balance when so much was going on plot-wise. Adored talk with Hater Mama, Zakir coming along being (clearly Depressed)stubborn, Virion giving great freakin Baddie, and Naturally: All the moments MC could say - 'YES, I'M COURTING HER, STFU'. The lil moments - like Elora being all: '...so I'm going be wearing red. You should wear red, hint. hint.' And her being Far more BLWUSHY now when my bashful MC was gay(est) Disaster before.
Can I just say? I really like how you managed to incorporate a MC whose disposition changes. It feels really natural how mine was (and still *is* at times, let's be real) super blush about touchy Elora, but now can tease back, while still being her sincere baby self. Still: Am I wondering when you're going to give the option to say 'I love you' -- yes. Elora can take her time -- but let ME say it. (They're in love, your Honor.)

Very sad to be away from my Ellie (maybe you'll give morning scene in chap 11? Pwetty please?) for extended period, but it's Realistic, Elora's an actual Queen, and I really dig how she's getting Colder after the father death reveal. Thank you again for such an Epic gift double feature~ So looking forward to how you wrap things up!
