Wellll I am not going to spoil but … Nice theory you have here 
On an unrelated note:
There is a question that has been bugging me. Should I capitalise phrases such as “your majesty”? I find some notes saying that I only need to capitalise in the third-person form, but others say that I need to do it when addressing the person (meaning the second-person form).
Well, did not see that coming with the cousin lol. Idk how Ateus hopes to win now.
I wonder if we’ll ever have an option to tell Cenric he was only picked after MC turned Ateus down.
Hello! I think this game is wonderful so far! I spent nearly my entire morning reading it, and was thinking about it during the entirety of my class.
I like the thought of the dice rolls mechanisms along with the pay attributes scale! I think it is a great way to keep the readers invested and let them keep track of their stats. Great job on that!
I did notice something, however, while playing. So, when you go to the “in-depth vs ready” part, you get the option to go to name and gender customization, play the story, or get further explanations.
To solve this, I think it would be wiser to take away the “go to name/gender” option and maybe just have the “play the story now” option with choices in Chapter one that will determine your gender/name/etc. For example, when Elric is looking at his child, (“Eric smiled at the sight. His gaze fixed on a (girl/boy) who looked about ten, dressed in the royal colours of Istegar.”) that would be a great time to give reader the choice of if they are a prince/ss without breaking immersion entirely.
For the name, it can be when the King calls us in fondness, (…the King was struck by how his daughter resembled his dear Isolde, who perished in a fit of winter coughs. (Name choice), spurred by a rush of fondness…).
These are just ideas just because I noticed that skipping the name/gender will not allow you to have one when you continue! So I was wondering why I was a Princess in chapters 1-3 and then a Prince in 4-6 lol.
Other than that, I love the story! I love how the stats are not too overbearing, it is not a life or death if you mess up and got rolled a one. I love Ingvar. Like, actually obsessed with him. He’s currently my favorite in the entire book! There is just something about a Blade that has unwavering loyalty towards you.
Don’t get me started on Desmond. Desmond is such a sweetheart! I literally want the best for him like I am genuinely rooting for him with his current situation. Like, I feel like I just want to put him in my pocket so me and Ateus can protect him from any harm.
This is a great story you have!! I can’t wait to see more of it in the future!!
@Liza_P That’s a nice insult! taking notes Your cousin might die of psychic damage before you actually kill them xD
I think that it would be better to put the explanation option in the same page as the “disable rolls/roll attributes”
Done!
choices in Chapter one that will determine your gender/name/etc
I think this is done too. Thanks for the suggestion!
you still have the decision to change their gender in the story
I created a new variable to check if the readers already set their gender. Now if you have chosen their genders before, the game would not ask you to do it again.
Thank you for your reply! Yes Des is precious <3 (I think … they might be the one with the least “problems” among the cast). I also had fun writing Ingvar/Ingvild, and I am glad that you adore them
Thanks for these tips! Very useful and smart!
A fascinating story and setting with lots of potential! I’m very interested (and invested) to see where this story goes.
I’ve encountered this bug, however:
Screenshot_20230418-232607_1|282x500
Wherein it shows the same result despite rolling either a 1 or a 10.
One suggestion I also have, although fairly minor, is to increase the amount of people you can “hang out” or dance with when the Diplomats come in. I think limiting it to one is much too few and unrealistic, with two or three being more realistic and better.
Nonetheless, though, I very much enjoyed this game and look forward to seeing it’s new updates!
Fell in love with this IF enough to step away and wait until some more chapters came out and then I could binge it lol. But am I crazy or is Mori actually the sea goddess that was mentioned? Or at least her avatar. Maybe I’m just crazy, I still got more reading to do.
Edit: Nope! My ass is dumb, I just got to that scene 
@GhostScorch Thank you!
For the screenshot, there are actually two conditions for MC to figure it put. Ingvar/Ingvild must tell you the significance of red beforehand, and you must pass an intelligence check. So if you just pass the check without knowing the significance of the colour, the game would not display a different result.
Hope that clarifies it!
I think limiting it to one is much too few and unrealistic, with two or three being more realistic and better.
Ok, I will rewrite that scene to accommodate two dances. Probably update in a few days.
Edit: Done!
I’m glad that you figured that out But Ylva does have her blood, in a very distant sense XD
I would love if we had the opportunity to play up the whole “Mad Heir” thing and have like maniacal giggles, or talking to ourselves around others just to mess with everything and make them underestimate the MC even more, maybe even become scared of them because of the madness.
@Kitty_Gaige Hm, that’ll mean I need to code a new branch of the nobles’ reaction. I’ll look into how to incorporate it, but in the current build, there might not be so many opportunities.
Regarding Chapter 7 - It seems that we will visit Starfall Valley first. This chapter will begin with you going to a city (depending on your choice in Chapter 6) and exploring it, but eventually, a certain event will happen and the three routes will converge in the end. Your choices in the city will have varying degree of impact depending on your alliance.
According to the poll, I will do the Starfall Valley first, followed by Isolde’s Rest, and lastly, Light’s Vigil 
*When you thought allying with Ulfric was good idea *
Expectations:
Reality:
Ah, gotta embrace the cold first!
The wolf shines mainly in the North, since that’s his domain xD (That means more content in the next chapter!)
28/4: Minor re-write of chapter 1.
Whattt it was updated and I didn’t even know!? Imma edit dis later for feed back (crazy laugh in the background)
I will be working to rewrite Chapter 1-6 this month, so Chapter 7 might be postponed. Let me know if you like the new chapter 1 (I think I crammed too much info inside … )!
For now:
To do:
Some questions:
I feel Ingvar/Ingvild’s relationship progress is a bit too rushed. Should I change it … ?
Contemplating moving some more flashbacks to earlier chapters, but I fear it will drag on the pacing.
I’ve got some questions, why does it need a rewrite? If it’s ok can I ask what sort of changes are gonna take place? just curiosity tho.
Nah you need trauma and pain as it serves as a strong motivation.
I think that certain characters have a slower and faster romance and I’s character is more of a faster one but I do think that its better for the romance to be a bit slower so we can experience events before the characters officially “date”
Maybe the romance should be put in the middle part of the story if its too rushed?
Oh yeah the pacing of the story will definitely slow down and take a hit but if done well flashbacks make the story so much better if done well as it emotionally makes the audience feel more. I recommend more flashbacks, as long as the story’s length isn’t too short its fine.
I’ll use an example, flashbacks in anime makes the story makes the story sadder and more emotional, Naruto, Bleach, Demon Slayer and a lot of animes did this. Even side characters can become relatable. My advice is to stick with flashbacks
Also love the story, can’t wait for it to be finished but take your time haha
Why does it need a rewrite? What sort of changes are gonna take place?
Perhaps rewrite is the wrong word, then! I want to add/delete/edit some scenes in Chapter 5 and 6, sprinkle more choices in between and probably revamp a bit about the personality traits (I find myself hardly using them despite my plans … )
And try to ensure that sentences run smoothly and scenes progress naturally. It’ll definitely take more than one attempt to revise.
It’s better for the romance to be a bit slower so we can experience events before the characters officially “date”
I am thinking about that, but I is more of a “flirt first, feelings later” sort of person, so the flirting bit in early chapters are fine. But you are right that perhaps more events should be added, because MC and I do not exactly start with a very good relationship. I think they become friendly with MC too fast; perhaps I need to develop the “attitude transition” a bit more.
I recommend more flashbacks
Ah, ok, I’ll add them in. If those don’t work I can always delete them later xD
Also love the story, can’t wait for it to be finished but take your time haha
Thank you!
Let me know if you find any bug!
Thanks, should be fixed!
Edit: Deleted some overly long passage and added more personality choices. By the way, do anyone know what is the gender neutral term for “father no child”? “parent no child” doesn’t sound right lol.
I need more save slots… 
Also, It’s nice to have more of a see into how life was for the MC growing up.
No matter what number you roll this "It sounded like a warning, you decided. A warning about the colour red, about roses, about mysterious woman. But why? Why did Lysander warn you? And what game was the Northmen playing?
It irked you that you could not figure this out, but for now, you had to accept defeat. Perhaps later, when you were in a better state, you could finally piece the puzzle together." always says the same thing.
Same with “Bold words for a dying woman,” you retorted, voice booming, bolstered by confidence. You knew you could do this, for you were Istegar’s heir.
The winter wolves came, trying to bite your legs. But you were faster than them. You swung your blade in a whirling arc and cut open both of their throats. With a painful yip, both wolves disintegrated into twin piles of harmless snow."
