??? Guessing you didn’t get the reference they were making lol but when they say barbecue it’s in reference to the MCs execution by fire.

All we need are some little kids roasting marshmallows and singing campfire songs… OK, now that I think about that, that would just be fucking creepy

Can you add more save slots

though that is a good idea for a scene for the game of the characters camping out in the forest and they make a fire while roasting marshmallows and singing campfire songs

And MC passing out during marshmallows roasting cos PTSD/panic attack/overthinking that marshmellow=MC/for the lulz

I know I would be hella scared of all :fire: if I got barbecued alive once.

Just imagine:

You run into a terrifying, skilled, strong, and mysterious enemy who could totally wipe out entire armies and scrub your face on the floor—

You use your last shred of power to conjure a small, simple, beginner-tier fireball.

And the guy runs away from you screaming like a banshee.

Yeah, that’s how my dear ROs will recognize my MC before the mask even comes off. :face_holding_back_tears:

Honestly, any other characters in the story who knew how the MC died should avoid lighting a marshmallow on fire nearby or risk getting their head whacked. PTSD is a real double-edged nasty.

One of my favorites. Unfortunately a bug caused me to get stuck at the stats page when i loaded my save and i didn’t have it in me to start again from the beginning so I couldn’t finish it.

It’s a bug with the save plug-in (for all games, to be clear). It happens when you save immediately after looking in the stat menu (if you are staying on the same page; going to next page and then saving seems to avoid it), so keep that in mind when saving :). I work around it by saving then checking stats and then loading the save, just to always be safe.
I’ve played WIPs too much. I’m just now registering just how many little quirks and bugs with the save system I know so intrinsically it’s automatic.

I swear I thought I wouldn’t have the brainpower for this one but I’m glad I decided to play it. Easily one of the best games out there!

So, I have a question that has nada to do with the story, or anything.

But the update log, in the demo. Is it updated at all? I feel like theres been a few updates since it last says. I could be completely wrong, though

it seems like its not since it stops at 6.0 and it says that were already at 8.5

Hey, I actually read this fairly recently. Went all the way through into what we have of book 2. All I have to say is I love it and I have recced to people from other sites who might not have any idea of it. Absolutely love Ilya and cannot wait for my mc to meet her again. It’s my kind of angst! Good luck with everything!

um wouldnt this be book 1?.

It’s book 1 with some of book 2.

I believe that technically the kind of prologue (uh, “pre-pyre”) is considered Book 1, and after that is Book 2. I don’t really get it, but that’s how I’ve seen it referred to (despite being here reading it since the initial upload, I must’ve totally missed when that was said/explained).

It was originally supposed to be duology with what we currently have plus some extra to be book one and then a book to but the author broke it down into a trilogy sometime after that

@Parivir hello, i just want to say that i think you’re an amazing and talented writer! i freaking love your story! Eli is the LOML :heart:

also, i have a few (several?) questions. hope you don’t mind!

SPOILERS!
  1. how did thaubal manage to kidnap mc? how old was mc when they were kidnapped?

  2. wouldn’t a mc who specializes in enchantment have the knowledge on how to remove the arcane collar? i know that the story would end there if that happened, but technically speaking?

  3. why would leon just send the baron to prison for killing several people but order mc’s execution for killing just one person? i know that the saintess is like the equivalent of the pope but from what i’ve seen, leon is a very compassionate man and i don’t think he thinks that the saintess’ life weighs more than an ordinary person’s life. or is that the case?

  4. how did arcadia, home of the most powerful mages who can contract even more powerful phantasma, fall to param and salantira knights?

  5. did tahlia and her crew know of mireil’s plan with the saintess? do they also know of king julius’ plan of signing the arcadian accords with salantira?

  6. what were eli’s thoughts when the woman at the festival made that comment about mc and them looking like soulmates?

  7. what is song of the dead? what does it do?


some bugs and feedback
  • sorry i don’t have screenshots but the word “sarcophagus” has been spelled “sacrophagus” a few times

  • the 4th option decreased my noble stat, went from 85 to 73

  • not sure if this is a bug or if it’s intentional but i chose earthsworn: black sun in the flashback so shouldn’t it be that instead of cannon in my case?

  • doesn’t this mean that her arm has been severed from her shoulder? yet for the rest of the fight she acted like it didn’t happen (tho i may have misunderstood it since english is not my first language)

  • i chose the “i want to see what makes tahlia tick” option in her day off scene so my mc already knows that she can read minds yet in this scene the game acts like my mc didn’t know

  • maybe you could put in an option for a ruthless mc where mc assumes that the venom has a slow effect and so doesn’t care if altea dies a slow death

  • when we were first introduced to the members of nightsaber, it was specter who they said can do a little bit of theurgy. iirc, they didn’t say yusuha can as well which is why i got confused when yu started healing eli.

  • can we have the choice to let yu or someone else do the talking?

  • the scene where we got to hanza palace up until the end of our meeting with the kugen makes it look like only mc and yu were there. it looked like eli, flyss, and mirage weren’t with them. and then they just started talking out of nowhere when they were walking up the stairs of the nephrite quarter.

  • in picking the “i let him carry on, because i sympathize with him” option when eli was trying to save the kids, i assumed that mc sympathized with him bc he doesn’t want the kids to die, not because he doesn’t want father gerian’s death to be in vain. i know he didn’t really want the kids to die but this paragraph just makes it seem like eli was more concerned about father gerian having a meaningless death than the kids actually dying imo

  • imo, the transition to chapter 9 if you choose to escape is a little off? not so smooth? idk i just think it was so sudden, like it came out of nowhere since we never saw mc and eli’s conversation about it. maybe you could add a scene in chapter 8 where they were having that conversation, why mc wanted to escape and how they would do that.

  • in this scene, maybe you could put an option to tell them about the arcadian accords? i know its probably pointless with tahlia and flyss since i’m pretty sure they won’t change their minds, but maybe it could get yu to start doubting, that maybe there is a peaceful way? since they don’t really like their groups methods
