I love the Count of Monte Cristo book and movies so this story was easily able to catch my attention! Plus, as someone who always plays a good moral character in games and stories I for once wanted just to be like Raymond Reddington from the show The Blacklist.
Read this story and even if I didn’t like COMC I would still love this story! So so interesting and well written. I’m here for revenge and can’t wait for more of this story. Brilliant idea!
A very refreshing plot which I never thought I’d be so immersed in. Remind me of those animes and K-dramas where the MC gets humiliated and leaves for a couple of years, only to return as a overpowered being/character.
Very interesting characters who kept the plotting for revenge fun. Looking forward to the next update.
Weekly Update - August 25, 2024
Hello, readers!
I’ve finished the event where we learn Michael’s secret. I’ve also started working on the event where we uncover Connor’s secret (which almost everyone has probably figured out by now). The Michael event ended up being extremely chaotic, which I think is pretty fun. There’s also a lot of space for future plots based on what happened. The Connor one will be more interesting for me to write, I think, since it will have more interesting ways to reveal the secret.
I’ve also started writing about our MC’s campaign to become homecoming royalty! Once these two things are done, I’ll only have to write something Olivia-mancers have discovered by doing her relationship event and then I can write about our MC asking someone out for the homecoming dance!
After that I’ll have to write what happens during the homecoming game, the homecoming dance, and the homecoming afterparty.
And then chapter 4 will finally be done! I hope. Most likely though.
I also kinda want really badly to write a Marcus + Angela random event, cause our sidekicks really deserve some love, but I’ll leave that for the end or maybe the next chapter.
PS. Thanks everyone for the kind words, it’s nice to see someone else talk in this thread besides me haha
Been a couple of months since I’ve played it, but let us know when you start on the Oliva tutor route, shes by far the best character besides the Mc.
Thank Yo, your pretty active and passionate about this project. And yeah the sidekicks really deserve their own scenes. Good Luck Man, Love your Work. 
Weekly Update - September 1, 2024
Hello, avengers! New update!
This week I’ve had some work for my main job and some friends from a different country visited, so the wordcount is pretty low. However, I am happy with the stuff I’ve started working on today and I have a poll that you will likely love. Or hate. I don’t know, I’ve noticed I’m bad at predicting the public opinion.
So, I’ve started writing the reveal for Connor’s secret, Patreons will be able to discover it for this update and also kinda see what happens when you start the reveal. I’ve also started work on the homecoming royalty campaign. This is where I want to use some user input. I have some ideas but I’m not really vibing with them. So this week we’re going to do another interactive poll, where I want you guys to tell me how you see your MC campaigning to become more popular! I love to see the creativity for our exaggerated use of money from some of you, so this should be fun.
Anyway, happy September and let’s get our revenge!
Is there any actual revenge yet? Or we still at the information gathering stage.
You can be sort-of a dick on a few occasions (like not warning Olivia about Isaac’s “prank” on her and such) but nothing life-destroying. Given it’s been only a month in game would be rather early for that.
Love the story so far can’t wait to destroy them all muahahaha cough hahaha cough cough all of them will pay 
Weekly Update - September 8, 2024
Hello, revengers! Back at it with another weekly update!
This week I’ve worked exclusively on an event where we reveal one of Connor’s secrets, and also get a possible glimpse on what our revenge on him can be. I’ve spent a lot of time writing about him lately, so I think I am more and more consistent when it comes to his personality.
Otherwise, the only other thing that happened this week was the amazing poll I held. And I’ve noticed most of you decided to just make fun of me. Which is fair. So let me just explain how some of the incredibly popular choices aren’t feasible.
Love it. Only problem is that the only party that has been written in the game took many, many words. If we were to throw a party, it would be kinda weird for none of the ROs to be there. If they were, I would have to write a lot of possible variants for all of them. Which would be total overkill. This could work later in the game when the relationships with all of the characters are more established, but right now it’s just too hard to write in a satisfying way.
I mean, where do I even start with this? Really cool idea, 10/10. Only problem is that I’m already working overtime with all of these ROs and secrets and events and secondary stats. That’s the only stat I’m really missing: “godhood.” Or maybe “perceived godhood.” As I said, great idea. Maybe for a future game though…
That will happen in chapter 12, cause I can’t give instant gratification. You have to work for it.
I can’t wait to thrash that cheeky guy.It will be incredibly satisfying.And Kudos to you author,U r one of the most consistent authors.
@Sucof did the poll end or did you just vetoed those 3?
Love your writing!!! 
To bad about the cult one that was funny 
How bad can we beat up Isaac in chapter 12?
I think we should do something awesome in our respective skill so that we become popular like throw a great concert if ure in music or win an important baseball match solely due to our efforts. Of course that awesome thing could also be setup by us using our sidekick.
Weekly Update - September 15, 2024
Hello, revengers! Another Sunday, another update.
I’m going to keep it short this week, I’ve only worked on the Connor secret reveal, which is shaping up amazingly. I’m starting to really like how this whole thing is looking. Next week I should finally be done with this thing and start implementing your amazing ideas to become homecoming royalty.
Sorry for the boring updates, I’d really like to say more here, but these things take time, especially with so many routes and results. I’ve already got 5 variables which represent how this event ends, and there might be another one when I’m done.
One thing I’d like to mention is that I’m interested in commissioning art for the characters. Until now I’ve mostly done a combination of my art + AI touchups and I’d really like to get a professional to do work on the Patreon content, especially since I’m considering bringing it down to the lower tier and more people are going to see them. So, if you know anyone good that does anime/webtoon style animations, or you are that person, please give me some recommendations so I can start setting something up for the future. As some of you know, I was interested in making the story a webcomic at some point, and if I find someone that I really vibe with, I’d be really interested in making that happen once I get a bit further in the story!
Thank you all for your patience and see you next week!

@Vorpal As @fsix said, only minor annoyances. We’re in the information gathering/building up trust stage.
@Ashten Thank you, I try to stay as consistent as possible haha
@Arrats_The_Creator I still haven’t written that part so the poll is still ongoing! And yes, those are most likely vetoed unless I somehow find a way to make them happen without adding another 10k words for no reason to the story. Oh, and, we’ll beat him up badly. I plan on doing something really cool on that front.
@Prabhu Sounds good, it’s a bit similar to what happened during the skill recruitment event a bit, but I can surely find a way to implement this. It might be one of the most feasible options.
@Sucof is getting one of the Ro’s to help you campaign a feasible option?
Sweet can’t wait until I can beat that goofy grin off his face!!! 
Technically you can make a pact with Vivian about it, so that’d an option, i guess.
Yes that is true, but how about getting the others to help out and not be a mindless puppet 
So, i dont know if this was asked already, so if it has im sorry.
But, are we going to be able to get complete revenge in one playthrough ((like we get it on everyone)), or are we only going to be able to get it on a few in each run?
I believe I read further in the thread that you can either get revenge on them all at once with a big event or take them out one by one (or only target a few,) so it sounds like you’d be able to get everyone in one play through.
Weekly Update - September 22, 2024
Hello, revengers! Back again with an update.
I’ve finished Connor’s secret reveal! Yay! It was fun to write, I’ve made him squirm a bit. And now I’ve reached the homecoming campaign. I’ve decided to go with: Get help from one of your targets; Do extravagant charity right in front of the school for everyone to see; Organize an event in the school relating to your main skill, to show off; Hold an expensive giveaway.
I’ve already written a lot for the “help” part, and I’m quite proud of it.
Otherwise, that’s it for this week. I’ve gone searching for artists to draw character portraits and I think I’ve found some good ones. I’ll likely do a poll in the near future for you guys to decide who I should go on with.
I also want to do a poll out of pure curiosity, what personality type did you choose? Or, if you played with more of them, which one is your favorite?
Thank you for the support, see you next week!

@GhostofGrief @Xepheris Yeah, you can get revenge on all of them in one playthrough. No, it won’t be a big event, you just hit them one by one. The identity reveal might be a big moment if you weren’t exposed.
