Just played Robin's route, he surprised me in how compassionate and intense his emotion was. 

(below is my opinion on Geoffrey and unfair rants)

man, even when I'm deep into Robin's route when there's a chance to protect that man at all cost I sent my mc to run to protect him at ALL COST. So, it kinda sucks, but as expected, that in the bad end when we go with Geoffrey, we don't get to see him at all and meet such an end like that. In truth, I didn't finish Robin's route. I guess it's a combination of he's not the kind of character I'm into and with him being the flirty type and mc find him so attractive and irresistible just make me disassociate myself mentally instead of being into the story that even when Robin had his moments that I felt touched with his feelings for the mc, I decided to quit the game after they confessed their feelings. I'll pick the game up again when Geoffrey's route has been released and give Robin's route a try again after. I'm still a bit sad that it's going to take longer for me to enjoy the game. I get that maybe the order of the routes are necessary to for the developers to slowly reveal the mysteries, but when you knew you could not enjoy the game properly until you get what attracted you to this heavily-focused romance game in the first place there's just not many things in the story to capture your interest.

Time to get the wholesome moments until you cry because these two are so precious.

I face an error when changing the hairstyle at the beginning of Act 4 though, apparently, the bangs 63 7.png is missing in my file? here's the traceback script:

I LOVE THIS GAME AND COVE IS PRECIOUS *shout out to the world 

I need some help with the save files tho. Is there a way to transfer my save files on android to windows? 

Really, you guys nailed everything I want from an otome game! The music (which I very much love. It's relaxing and tense when the situations called. Not many VN games are good at that!), the CGs and background arts (some of the gorgeous ones have only 15 sec appearance and i was gaping on the resources the team pour into the arts), and the MC! I LOVE the way they had slight changes in each route, but at the core they're gentle yet firm to not back-out from the responsibilities and take fate into their own hands. They know their position and stand firmly on it. The stat raising was challenging, but I believe it's one of the charms of this game. Every character has their own charmed and I enjoy every interaction we get with them. Neri is such a big bro ready to stand by the mc and I'd hope in the next game there will be a character like him again(if not the LIXD )

My fav was Serin, as I went on his route firstXD His demeanor and his first appearance just swoop my mc away. He's such a cinnamon roll who suffers from my mc endless teasingXD His route is that soft blazing sunlight you'd enjoy while cuddling on your bed.

Okay. Okay. 

I had a lot to say about this game in my head while I was playing.

After finish it for good, I'm just...I don't have anything to say. Everything happened in this act.  I could feel my eyes getting weary here and there and I was gritting my teeth far too many times. .

I don't know how to use spoiler option here but bear with me.

Spoilers ahead. I'm sorry but I need to get it out.

I REALLY WANT TO GIVE A VERY GOOD  SHAKE TO ELFRIEDE AND ASK HER WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING GIRL? Sure I understand people panic. They were in wars and it's not unreasonable to freak out here and there, yet I have no idea how everyone can put up with everything and not snap at her too, considering everyone is in the same situation. Don't get me wrong, Elfriede is a very delightful mc and many banters from her are genuinely appreciated. But I guess I'm not very compatible with her in some scenes.

AND YES OUT OF MANY CASTS HERE I WENT FOR MARCIUS FIRST THEN OUR BOY CORPORAL. I'm in tears right now and I don't think my Elfriede will deepen a relationship with anyone anymore. She's so done. Like yeah everything could happen anytime in this game, truly. At this rate, who is going to be with us until the end of the last act? 

The story is amazing, truly, but if you cannot cope well with major character deaths (empathizing on 's') like me you will find this very stressful to read. One time is okay. The second time hit me hard. The third time was numb. The fourth was...I'm done. The last character I care as an LI. Gone.

I kept the warning in mind before I got the game but it seemed I'm not fit for reading this. I'll keep this game in my heart, how beautiful the castings were, but I don't believe I can stomach anymore loss of the characters.

It was too well-written making us morn for characters like this. 

The art is gorgeous! It's refreshing to see this style of art in an otome game. The facial expressions everyone makes and the way the transition moves like the mc is looking up to people's height (looking at you Silas 👀) are what I had never experienced in a visual novel game. I'm looking forward to more surprisingly creative details the creators will pull out for us! The atmosphere for the opening of this game is something. None of the dialogues makes me zone out at all. The front is beautiful but it's going to take me more time to read them through for sure. (Hopefully there might be a front option or size alternation?)

(Small spoiler below. I don't know how to insert a spoiler feature so please bear with the length of this comment)

As you can tell, my fav LI might be Mr. Worthington. I'm looking forward for interactions with less... pressure? between the two. Some flashbacks to the scenes that can show us why she can confidently say he's a friend to confine to despite the age gap would be nice. So far in the demo the air is filled with such intensity that noone is at ease with each other; especially these two. The scene before the demo ends is rather a surprise for me. Although as much as I'm in for his route, it can't be help that everyone knows it's out of responsibility ( or not? Let's see how their relationship will develop over time) 

I hope there will be more reactions to the mc dialogue responses though. Just a little acknowledgement to the dress we just picked, the way mc spoke to them, and her internal monologue including how mc can acknowledge her mood after what we chose too.

Lastly, I can see how much passion you two put into this game. Keep up with all the love you can throw into this gem!
