It's actually really good so far I think. If anything I'll just be asexual to experience the story - i appreciate the option to do so.

Thanks for the insight, all of what you wrote gives me some idea of what to expect in regards to the "events."
The last paragraph is especially cringe for me because, in my experience, i do tend to chase the worst people without even realizing - whether it be naivety or pure stupidity. That is to say, growing up for me was not falling in love with DL men lol (I live in red south). I guess thats reflected even in my furry VN somehow.

Mini vent and Mild spoilers:

I've been chasing a certain character and after seeing an event in day 3 I actually got mildly upset and had to turn the game off xD. I've been rejecting everyone else and specifically romancing this one character the whole playthrough and then suddenly I need to bleach my eyeballs. Like I'm pretty woke in real life but in games and media I am TRADITIONAL; why are you with someone else rn and not me? Actually pissed me off so bad because if we're just hooking up with people and not getting married i may as well not have been rejecting people and going for this one character "save myself for you" sort of mindset. I'm so pissed im probably just restarting and switching to Tulemeni because she deserves love, but i swear if i walk in on her having relations with someone that's not me I will not be able to handle it bruh.

I've got to give props to the comedy writing in this game. I had more than a few laughs playing through the current build - which is high praise from me as someone who finds comedy in VN typically cringe. Scribbles is my favorite so far. I love his brand of sass

wow, that update held no punches. Im truely impressed by how the sex scene was implemented into the story; it has shown me that the story presented is actually trying to stand out within the genre by having essentially any amount of meaningful commentary present in a scene thats typically just horny fanservice in similar vn. Caelans naivety has certainly gotten more and more frustrating to me, but as a depiction of a trusting person, his thoughts and motivations are logically sound and im interested in seeing how he copes with losing essentially everyone he knows. Honestly, as the chapters release, my impression of the game has only grown more positive. I think FBtW will certainly stand out amongst similar games - it does already.

Edit: just to be clear, i like caelans character. A wimpy, naive kid that bumbles around a tribe desentigrating from political strife is kind of an interesting circumstance. Also somewhat comical as is pretty clear to everyone but caelan that hes in extreme danger constantly, but he skips around like a school girl.

I’m glad you’ve decided to pursue a more linear style of VN. I think a lot of authors get really caught up in the ambitious “player” choice driven story which usually ends up more polarizing rather than personal 😂. There’s a reason great narratives aren’t asking you to try and change a bunch of shit. Good luck bro 

I thought we were supposed to think he was just another gay friend b/c of how he stands till mc says hes "straight" lol
