besides the echo team, who has a finished vn? 9:22, in case of emergency, and Lyre are the only 3 other ones that come in mind. I've read like 60 FVN's and almost all of them are in hiatus, having entire chapters re-written, having all the art re-sprited, or just abandoned

I kinda ended up maping it out since I'm guessing you need to have a balance between the two of their routes rather nicely, I kept spending too much time with Samuel and triggering his solo route instead in almost any other variation (Sam will say Raj is busy in this case).
This is more for a reminder since I tend to delete the progress quite often with new updates and old savefiles stop working!
**Normal Samuel Route**
Silently Join and Wait -> Stay Quiet -> Side with Samuel -> Offer Some Advice -> Join Samuel and Julian -> Apologize for holding up the line -> Go around to Samuel and sit down next to him -> Ask where the others got their forks from -> Sure, you can have both -> ...head to bed as well -> Get up, even begrudgingly so -> It's drunk boasting at the tavern -> Let's leave it -> Ask if they need an extra pair of hands -> Actually I had pretty amazing dreams -> I can report it after I help you. There is a Doctor on board right?.
**Combining it with Rajeeyah's Route **
Can I stay a little bit longer? I want to make sure Samuel's fine -> How about you worry less about your polishing... -> Tell him your side of the story -> Check on Samuel again -> Decline the offered rum -> Rajeeyah picks you up just as you are on your way to get some rest -> No (Don't ask for anything in return)
**Back to Samuel, and then Raj**
Don't break the silence -> Stay safe on deck -> Punch the hull of the ship -> I'll try, but it's difficult to enjoy it under the circumstances -> Of course Sam! -> Rajeeyah -> Maybe he's a royal spy... -> Don't ask her (about who needed the wormwood) -> Leave the room -> She seems pleasant, I've always enjoyed it when I had the chance to assist her -> Recall her partner -> They escaped? -> Yes (have you been in love?) -> Did you want to be? -> A crook? -> Suggest that it's time to move on.
**If you did this right, then she should call you "kind" instead of other things**
Join up with Rajeeyah and Wolf -> I didn't say it wasn't worth it -> She must be talking about her lover -> Offer to help her in town, if she's willing to translate -> Ask Samuel -> Volunteer.
**Start of the Poly route? **
Get ready to go ashore -> Beer for me as well -> Stay with Nomax and Sam -> Stay with Samuel -> Tell Sam not let Pierce under his Skin -> Tell Sam you're happy you know him, too -> Well... yes. But not enough to cause trouble (Did you want to join?) -> Playfully tease Samuel -> Suggest that she stay -> Let Raj and Sam steer the conversation -> Well, Sam doesn't have any options in the Conway
Most of the options from the first half doesn't matter that much, but I've noticed if that you vary it a tiny bit in the second half then it goes to any of the individual routes, so maybe this is a secret Poly path? I doubt it but I'm very curious about it. Sorry for the long post, this is mostly to remind myself how to get it again, since I delete the save files quite often!
SPOILERS!!!!!!
There is this moment in the training sequence in Rune's route where he closes your eyes with his hands and asks you who is the dog that's talking to you
I fully expected for Rune to freak out if Luke says something like "Acri" out of the blue, but nothing happens, I guess Rune doesn't remember Acri either...
You don't have to take this into account, but the bird sound (the chirping) that plays in the new updates (while in the coast, or in other places out in Moroco) is a little TOO frequent, it plays like every 5 seconds, and it starts to sound like a whistle after a while, an alarm? idk, maybe spacing it out like every 10 seconds or 15 seconds would be better. This is more noticable in the Arthur route than in the other routes (it plays for a larger period of time than in the Samuel route for example), but still.
It's strange to me that I even feel the need to comment this, since all the other ambient sounds are relatively quiet and don't bother me at all, they're even relaxing, maybe it's a question of relative volume? I hope I'm not being too annoying with this.
Ugh, dude, just do another route, like Rune's or Lake's, it's better than Mikko honestly.
Writing takes a long time and effort, It's really arrogant to say "this is too little" to someone that gives you this amazing novel for free! It's like receiving a gift and then complaining it's not expensive enough to that person.
Let it take 1 year or 5 years, the important thing is that is advancing, it's not abandoned, it's thriving!
I've played again after a while and it seems like my old files are kinda messed up, the progression and all, and that's fine, since I don't mind reading things again, the start got reworked too and all so that's nice.
I'm making this post because there is this path I took a while ago where both Rajeeyah and Samuel go to the baths with you, but... now when I do the Samuel route, it triggers the new events where you go to another place with Samuel instead, so... is there a condition I'm missing for this to happen?
