Not a dumb question, the AA route is a route I added where the MC can choose to take the bullet for Anna/Apollo near the end of the prologue. I call it the AA route because it stands for Anna/Apollo

Came looking for Cooper and I found gold, I think you’re doing a great job with this wip!
I will make a suggestion that you can absolutely ignore, cause this would probably be complicated to implement in both the story and coding (I think). But what if during the MC or AA routes, there would be a chance for both routes to intersect?
Maybe a Door devil could open alternative realities and all that jazz so that MC and AA could meet and deal with each others trauma of failing to save one another from the bulletTM?
Too cheesy? Probably. Too lazy writing? You know it.
Fine you got me, I just wanted to make this scene from spiderman 
Jokes aside, best of luck on this project and try to take some breaks. Your health should always be in the 1st place.

@Daxterix Thank you! I’m glad that enjoyed the story, always love it when people find this story as a nice surprise 
As for converging the two alternate worlds, I received a good amount of requests for it. I did think about it, but I’m not exactly sure how I would approach it. Well, actually I know how I’d approach it, but it’d be way more tragic if anything 
Thank you for reading my story and I’m glad to have you on this ride 
@legitpro123 Yes! This new path will just have whole other layer of angst to the story. I think the end goal is to have the AA route unlock once people finish the MC route in the final story. I enjoy writing this route because it re contextualizes a lot of AA’s actions which will be explored in this upcoming update

Holy cinema. Never give up AA you have the power of your dead partner behind you. Didnt think you could make the game more angsty but here we are.
AA became mr fool
I wonder if we ll get to meet Zwan and eighteenth in the main storyline. And is the tarot games also a part of the main storyline or nah?
Also so this is why AA’s appearance isnt mentioned in the main story. Will we get to choose AA’s appearance in main storyline or nah?
Also noticed some errors (I think?) where AA is referred to by my mc’s name.

Who is lb?
@legitpro123 Thank you for bringing attention to that slight error, I fixed it! I’m glad that you enjoyed the update, it was very angsty for me to write and I loved exploring this side of AA.
As for your other questions, Zwan and Eighteenth will not be apart of the main story line nor the Tarot Games, this will be exclusive to the AA route. For the final release, I plan to make the AA route unlockable once the reader finishes a singular MC route, hopefully that will be a nice surprise 
For AA’s appearance in the main story line, you’ll get to choose it at a certain point of the story, currently the story is not at the point.
Thank you again for reading my story, your support means a lot and I love it every time you call it cinema 
@Khotun Ib is extremely obsessed with the MC, to the point where they’re convinced that it was AA that killed the MC in the AA Route rather than the Werewolf Demon that they sent. Truly delusional 
@Kxng Ib is the main villain for the MC Route.

Which people are Orenous?
Maybe later along the line , you can put in some codex but who are they ?

As of now, Onerous aren’t currently defined, only mentioned briefly by Giove, it’ll get expanded upon in the story. As for the codex, I do plan to add one along with character visual descriptions since that has been highly requested

It has been a couple of days since the update, and I’m gradually taking note of what to add to the next update:
- Character Codex
- Terminology Codex
- Variance on the confrontation with Giove. [The ending of the Sealed Dimension Arc should have an affect on how the MC reacts after the ending against La Sous]
Below are some polls I have out of curiosity 
Which Route have you read so far?
- I’ve read only the MC’s Route for the update
- I’ve read only the AA Route for the update
- I’ve read both the MC’s Route and AA Route for the update

Hello!
- RO’s will not romance you if you do not flirt with them.
- You do not have to choose an RO, you can be single for the entire story
- AA means Apollo/Anna route
I hope that answers your question and thank you for reading, I’m happy that you enjoyed the story
