I was curious if Arbiter would have been able to use their contract to turn Tenth’s “food” edible like “I won’t get sick eating this” or “This will taste amazing” (maybe both)… But I guess the target of the lie would be the MC themself, so they’d have to really believe it, and only someone delusional would see Abel ascending after his bite and still be able to do so. So, I conclude that an Arbiter character like Arthur from Fire Force would be even more OP and have the strength to take over the universes with the power of reality bending delusions. In this 30 slide power point presentation I will back up my arguments-
Yay for the update!! I’m having so much fun playing this wip (as well as your other one!) Was happy to be able to choose an artist arbiter, feels like a unique angle that I enjoy. Desperately love Apollo (though Syo keeps punching me in the heart with his Syo-ness) and I’m waiting on the edge of my seat for the shoe to drop for us A romancers.

For now, I only have one thing to say: Apollo, my husband, I would turn every stone in the stats of this game to see him happy again. I don’t know why I’m crying… 
I love the Ro’s, I love the story, and I’m really eager to take on Ib (I don’t know if I can curse here, but I’ll leave it like that😭). Even right now, I’m going to play it again even though I have classes in a bit.
Thank you so much for updating this gem of game. I wish you the best world for you because without a doubt, you’ve brightened mine with this update and I look forward to seeing more about this game :,)

I haven’t finished the demo yet but I’m hoping Axel is an RO! I always love a good redemption arc 
Please don’t tell me he dies during the current demo lol

@Xepheris This is actually something I’ve thought of before, where if the MC is delusional enough, they could probably withstand almost any attack with the belief that they’re invincible. However, it’d have to be on levels of mega-delusional 
I’m happy that you enjoyed the update! Also, the artist arbiter is such a unique combination. I’ve been thinking of adding unique choices for certain talent/Contract blends. Now that I know some people do different blends, I’ll definitely invest more unique choices for them
We’ll just have to see how things develop, it was really fun writing Apollo/Anna
@Moonsit I’m super happy that my update brightened your day, that means a lot 
I too wish for Apollo/Anna’s happiness. More flashbacks of the MC and Apollo/Anna will definitely pop up in the update
@superviv Unfortunately, I don’t have current plans to make Axel an RO…but it does bring up possible ideas. If there’s enough time, there could be possible developments 
As for your other statement, I guess we’ll find out soon enough

Really like this IF but very curious about something. If you Romance A, how can you truly romance anyone else when the timeline of events is merely days after another ? Will there be time skips that allow MC to grieve/process that loss ? Because MC romancing anyone literally just a few days after all that happens with a romanced A doesn’t seem realistic.
Again I really like this IF just really curious and want to understand better.

Ah, right. I come back each time. I can’t romance anyone else. Maybe thats why I keep having issues to progress story?
Yeah, making A just a friend, would not have me that invested on joining a pact.
Edit: First flirt option is 3 days of being unconscious. Just hours of being awake. Very shortly after visiting grave of possible lover. Yeah, definitely not enough time!
Plus if made just friend, the vengeance thing isn’t good enough to me.
Edit again. There ARE peeps that can move on easier than others. Just hope flirt isn’t cut off and that can flirt another time in future. I keep stopping and have to see if those still avail later. If not over things or timings within world.
Just got to the restaurant meeting. Big burly man, shook his hand. Cop. He tries to crush a girls hand? Weird man there when they present the town as ‘traditional’. I doubt he would try crushing a womans hand. A man’s, possibly. But a traditional town with traditional getup. Idk. That seems weird to me. Oh. I see. Next scene, chapter over explains it.

@elp97 Hello, first off I’m glad that you enjoy the IF! As for your other question, I made it so you’re allowed to have more subtle feelings of attractiveness to other RO’s, but that comes with unique interactions (Ex. Character’s being wary from your words and/or you feeling guilty for feeling such things.)
It’s a bit complicated subject to tackle since people tackle grief in many different ways. There’s also the consideration that the MC is coping by looking for a rebound or any some form of connection in their grief. There will most likely be a time skip for story purposes, this may lead to the part where the MC comes to terms with moving on. Then there’s another thought where the MC can slip further into impulses (Ex. Satisfaction now and consequences later mindset).
Basically, there will be a time where the MC can move on, but there will also be paths of temptations for the MC. Let me know if you need any clarifying, I know sometimes my word salads can be confusing at some times.
@jjc73 I did add a new mechanic, where you can choose not to admit your feelings to A if you have any romantic attraction to them. This allows you to boldly flirt with other characters or subtly flirt with them without any judgement from them. I call this mechanic, the Unspoken Mechanic.
There is special dialogue for this choice every time you flirt, but it’s not as messy compared to if you subtly hinted attraction to other RO’s while romancing A. (Keep in mind, I only implemented the special dialogue within chapter 1 and 2. The rest will be included in the December Update)
However, if you wanted to be official with A and wanted to romance other characters there will be a chance where you can in the future (most likely after a time skip). And then there’s idea to add impulsive moments of temptations. Overall, the path to romance other character after romancing A is bound to be messy regardless.
I am aware that everyone is different in terms of coping in losing a lover, which is why writing these portions are quite difficult. What is the right amount of time to move on from a loss loved one? It’s possible that people who grieve use others as rebounds to cope with the pain. Not only that, I would also have to consider if the other party would accept such a situation. There’s so many different perspectives toward. It’s a lot to think about.
I truly appreciate both of you taking the time to write this up, it’s good feedback to keep track of!
With that being said, after some brainstorming and considering other feedback, I propose a new type of choice called—
New Mechanic Proposal: Hollow Flirting
With this mechanic, it’s leans more of the playful type of flirting, casual charm if you will call it. To the MC, this is just seen as harmless flirting without any idea of commitment or full on attraction. Since the MC is viewed as being extra, most characters will dismiss this by playing along, rolling their eyes and so on…It can be selected whether or not MC chose to be in a relationship with A. Who knows, someone may fall for you or you may accidentally fall for someone else. (Is it messy? Is it possibly a coping mechanism? Who knows!) The choice will be indicated with an empty heart/white heart 
If this a mechanic you would be interested in please vote in the poll below so I can keep this in mind for the next update!

I think that would be awesome to add. The bold flirt, the shy/crush flirt and those that as you claim works.
I started flirting with Belle I don’t know why but also she compared cooking with A as well. Noticed that passage, and loved it. Now, I am curious. Would Belle say anything about having similarities that could be put to question or no?

Chasing Belle around to keep her clothes on was funny.

That’s good to hear! Also, I don’t want get into semantics, but you might want to change the usage of “orphan” in that context. Since ‘orphan’ implies that they’re a child, which is definitely not the case 
As for your question, for Abel/Belle specifically, I don’t think they would call you out specifically since they aren’t aware of proper romance conventions. (If anything, they couldn’t care less if you get with them after getting with A)
