Sorry for being a couple days late to this. When I’m ready to upload, I’ll be fixing all the bugs and errors so, hopefully, it can be done at once! Not even gonna try to guess how one character became another, though. That’s… That’s just wild. Good job, me.

AoL Update: Please read!
No, no update right this second. Sorry if the title seems that way!
This is just to announce that I’m gonna give myself some leeway. Instead of updating all at once, I’m going to update as I go. This means you will can make choices with unfinished routes. Example: You can make a choice to hug Gen, but the scene following it isn’t written out and will instead display something like: (ROUTE NOT COMPLETED!) and carry on to the next scene.
It’s honestly just to make it easier on myself because I do work so slowly. I will be fixing bugs pointed out to me, editing the temporary options for wanting to start at different chapters, etc.
When it comes to content warnings, I can put them at the start of each chapter or just before the content appears. I think I can make this optional so for those who want to see them, can, and those who don’t, won’t.
I won’t be removing the heart icon or romantic tags besides romantic dialogue or leaving that to choice, as this is for the sake of clarity so no one accidentally ends up getting romance scenes they don’t want!

Okay, I’m going through the errors-. I didn’t get Andrei/Anya turning into Eugene/Eugenia. I went through the choices and checked my goto tags. I will keep checking? But as far as I can tell, there isn’t any cause for it.

It took me two hours, but I found it:
Summary
*if (an_he = “he”)
“$!{fname}! I know you’re home! I met your cartoon-prince-come-to-life of a boyfriend yesterday and he made me promise to wait until the morning to see you!”
*goto ch15_An_Morning_Jay_A
*else
“$!{fname}! I know you’re home! I met your cartoon-princess-come-to-life of a girlfriend yesterday and she made me promise to wait until the morning to see you!”
*goto ch15_Gen_Morning_Jay_A

AoL Final Update Part 1 Is Now Out!
Part 1 because not all the routes are finished, and of course, more edits and yada yada.
This update includes Chapter 19, 20, and the Epilogue. Chapter 20 is the shortest, especially due to the lack of content at this time.
I’ve fixed several things in earlier chapters and tweaked Ulysses’ scene in 11. A friend of mine pointed out that it made him uncomfortable how Ulysses is the one who locks the door, to put it simply. So I made a small tweak, so MC is the one who does it instead.
Please tell me about any bugs or errors and concerns!
CONTENT WARNING: I have warnings that may disrupt the immersion and overall experience. I may change this to being a choice. This is due to the heavier content mentioned and depicted.

I love the fight with the Gargoyles. Injured and tired against multiple of them and the way the MC is described through the POV of one of them was awesome. Half a soul missing and still so strong
”He raises his head up to you. *Directly at you.*There’s that cold-hearted, empty glare you’ve heard about. That callous stare promising either your death or surrender.”
And I love Maples so much. Like what’s with them they seem the most innocent and playful out of the 4 but in between the lines it feels like they are the most deadly haha
“She closes in on Cassiel, subtly surprising the Archangel. Maples, despite being shorter than him, has the uncanny ability of making Cassiel feel… something like paranoia. Like staring at the corner hidden by shadows, convinced something waits.”
I’ll read 19, 20 and epilogue more thoroughly once the routes are done

Thank you! I’ve slowly had some possible errors pointed out to me to fix, so if you found more, feel free to let me know!
Maples is so fun to write. I think in some ways, they could certainly be the most lethal…

@ I’ve been replaying and felt there r less options to increase caution stat, esp. In the first few chapters, would u consider adding some or adjusting caution stats?
Minor Demo Update!
As mentioned before, but just giving it a more official post, I have fixed several minor things and done equally minor edits. Toward the end, in chapter 20, I added in choices when talking to Lucifer aaaand Lucifer has an additional scene if you did a certain thing.
Sorry for this not being a bigger update with all the branches done!
@hapamama93 I can see about doing this where possible, yes.

I feel a bit silly but how does flirt differ in affecting our relationship? Is it only ever available w flings?

Flirting just increases your romantic relationship with the love interests, but you can flirt with anyone and everyone where the option presents itself. Flings or otherwise. There aren’t any consequences for it just because it would be complicated to keep track of and code.
The closest to jealousy, for example, would be with Ulysses, but doing it for all the ROs/LIs would be a nightmare

I love Anya. I have a weakness for women in suits.
Question regarding Ulysses’s scene! Please give your honest answers!
(As Posted on Tumblr!)
I need to tweak it some more, so I’m going to ask now so I can take it into consideration. Does the scene feel…creepy to any of you? Does he come across as pushy?
I was thinking of adding in something like “Sure, but I’m not into men” if people have the ROs set to female, for example. It would be a choice and not flavor text, for players who aren’t romancing a female cast and simply desired, well, a female cast. A similar thought came to mind for those who aren’t interested in romance and such at all; it would be a choice with it’s own following dialogue.
I keep thinking back on the scene and feeling like it could be heavily improved! Just because it’s optional, doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed! And I’ve been feeling like it’s lacking in some areas.
What do you think? Send your answers to my inbox or just drop your thoughts in the replies to this post! <3

Forgive my lack of uploads.

I must seem so flaky and unreliable. I’m trying to develop a healthy relationship with writing again, which probably won’t happen, I fear lmao. Like, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if I went to a therapist and they told me “Mhm, girl, this is giving you anxiety, you need to stop”.
Anywhoooooo, enough poking fun at myself. I’m here to ask what you would like to see, beyond me actually finishing the WIP (and maybe, idk, patreon stuff aha), of course. As I said, I’m really trying to draft book 2, which is dumb when Book 1 is done, and I’ve told myself I’ll only do Book 2 if 1 does well enough. BUT HERE I AM ANYWAY BECAUSE I’M PANICKING ABOUT THE LACK OF PROJECTS I DON’T HAVE READY TO GO.
Yall, help me. I’m losin’ it TTwTT

Minor AoL Update: Ch19 Finished!
I’ve checked, like, 6 times, so I have missed something, oh my god.
That said, the branches are done in this chapter! Please show me any and all errors you find, as I suspect I may have missed one or two. I generally do when it comes to pronouns. For the next book or future projects, I’m doing a multireplace. That would make this SO much easier. Ah well, hindsight and all that.
As usual, here is the link! Thank you so much for your patience. I know it’s a small thing, but since I finished it, I wanted to put it out there.
