I mean, considering how Bat-S everyone is, with the exception of the Human Am and to a very small degree the Nephy Am, Iāll allow it.

Well, that was sufficiently terrifying.
I presume destroying the artifacts isnāt an option, but should probably be something we can ask about, if not during the initial rundown on them then definitely in the wake ofā¦this.

i wouldnt be surprised if the MC would snapped at one point or even burn a house down or attack one of her āForsterā parents, well that would be a little brutal
but i loved the update and this time my save didnāt vanished

Things never go this well! You smile pleasantly. āWhy would that start now?ā You close your fist sharply around the orb, and it shatters. Katia yelps in horror, while you flick the glass shards off of your gloves.
āWhereās the real one?ā you demand
That was gold 
Seriously though, seeing how the MC can progress throughout the trilogy from almost a nobody to a highly competent fighter, tactician and generally good keeper is amazing. Feel sorry for their state of mind though 
I love the options where the MC can be morally ambiguous, ruthless, and even determined to kill anyone in their way. After all, they are at war and had enough of Frostbite. Reminds me of Eren from AoT. They will kill if they have to for their side to win. I love that you can make your MC that way so that itās not all black and white but shades of grey

damn. the artifacts are bad news. also, the keeper is kinda turning into an anti-hero now. im kinda sad how their mental health seems to get adressed by people around them lesser and lesser. i know the whole artifact thing but like, it wouldnt matter if ur only functioning keeper is slowly loosing their mind. feels like the keeper starting to have that mindset where they would destroy the whole world and rebuild it be the ideal one or something. honestly considering the mc as possibly one of the villains now. good update. that cliffhanger tho, i was so ready to just get into character and break down.

Can we have telekinesis options in all the fights? I noticed that they were missing and my high-T character died as a result of his terribly weak elemental manipulation.

Well it might not be an issue for returning characters, but I just played a new character who went thermonuclear due to having low willpower, I think. Maybe itās another stat check, but my high willpower kitstune was relatively fine. That just might annoy some players.
āOh yes, develop any stats you want, but if you make the wrong choice prepare to become Ted from Heroes.ā
And why does the Keeper seem to not have healing potions on hand? Especially if they took the healing potions class or are majoring healing magic? Seems especially odd what with the paranoia the MC is encouraged to develop, and that it could have been established before that yes, the keeper does carry healing potions.
Is there supposed to be something special about those flames? Why canāt a fire elemental Keeper just absorb them into himself if he chooses to learn that? Why would a a fire elemental who learned how to be immune to fire and absorb it panic at their clothes being on fire?
Why canāt an ice user put the flames out?
And Iām talking about the flames left over, just to be clear, Iām not trying to argue that the Keeper ought be able to prevent the explosion with their elemental magic. That wouldnāt seem plausible, really. But the flames left behind ought to just be flames, right?
It would be one thing if we tried and it failedā¦

Are we gonna have the option to kill Yakovās siblings and/or Yakov without likeā¦ dying at any point in this series? Feels kinda weird to have the option there but kill the MC if they take it, like might as well not give it to us at all then?
Like I get that itās only an option in challenge mode, but at the same time, one of the biggest selling points (for me at least), about this series was that no one would have plot armor in the final book. So Iām hoping we do get a chance to kill Yakov and his siblings without dying at some point in this book. Not saying it has to be right now, obviously, just at some point, since that was one of the biggest things about Book 3.

Couple thoughts after playing through chapter 5 a bit more:
I wish a bit more took place before we put the plan into action. Make a show of having to exchange polite greetings with the Frostbite delegation, try to sus out what theyāre up to while playing nice over dinner, something like that. Just feels like a waste to barely interact with Dominic, especially since he can potentially die here.
I like the potential breakdown scene, but the way it starts feels off to me. Astrid, Yakov, and Katia are awfully quick to leave MC alone after everything that happened. I also feel like theyād let everyone else know they were back and still alive as soon as possible, even if they held off on the details, so it feels weird that MC is the one that calls their RO and not the other way around.
ā¦Reading that back to myself, maybe this is too nitpicky.

Chapter 5 thoughts: Did enjoy the chaos of the artifact though I will say it seems a bit much with how it felt like everyone was going to leave you alone. Sure Katia is knocked out, but Astrid and Yakov could have atleast said more possibly, even if you didnāt get knocked out.
Will also say that while I do like the breakdown scene, I kinda expected more. Like I honestly feel the MC should have a moment where they snap and yell at someone/s, family included (including our Grandma) about everything we have endured. Like a hardcore venting would be nice, and sure, it may ruffle the feathers of our RO and suitemates and such, but considering how we have endured alot, it would be acceptable. Like I want to have that just, pure raw emotion of being feed up with everything and just be pissed. And I think that the RO/platonics would totally get that.
Now for fun, headcanonic thoughts.
Thalia: Spitting image of Jubilee from X-men. Also, TOTAL weeb and Otaku.
Kol: Shifts into a cat and hops into suitemateās laps when he wants attention and scritches.
Katia: Prankmaster extrodinare.
Seraphina: Secretly has plans for world domination. Will totally let suitemates in on the plan though.
Leon: Buys human late night info-merchal items for no reason.
Astrid: Started buying cook books, to be a better cook than Leon.
Yakov: Secretly wants a fluffy bunny.
Altair: Has started to wear a demolition suit during workā¦ for reasons.
Cyrus: Has a folder of cat videos on his phone, hours of content.
Cressida: Secretly has a stockpile of disney movies in a box under her bed.
-Side thought- Katia and MC, having a moment together, Katia leaning into kiss MC, then Gisela breaks down/destroys door or wall, pointing a finger at MC while shouting āPervert! Defiler! I will not have you corrupt that angel!ā All while Katia is looking at her oddly, Sera is in the background just shaking her head, and MC is on the bed trying not to have a heart attack. All because Gisela is hella protective of Katia, though she will take some teasings a little too far.

Does astrid asks the mc out even with low relationship?
Iām loving it so far.
I do want to say, however, that I really hope that breakdown scene isnāt the only one we get, especially with regards to interactions with our BFF/RO. I just feel like if the Keeperās mental state is deteriorating, it would be nice to have more support from those closest to them, and the interaction we did get with our route didnāt reallyā¦ address it, even if we allowed our Keeper to feel again.
Maybe itās just me, though.

I just want the ability to snap at everyone in charge. How the hell can every authority figure be so useless.

Itās funny how the hunters are the only ones who actually can do anything substantial and come off as reasonable, ÓŠ¹Šµ. Seriously, itās so hard to sympathise with anyone else in charge when they come off as rude, ungrateful and callous bastards who treat humanity like toys.

Well lets seeā¦
Hunters/Humans Head want to help protect other humans and such. +100 Approval.
Angel Head wants to start a loyalty/mind control program to combat deranged Castella. 50/50 on that endeavor.
Demon Head wants more keepers and decided to orchestrate the attack on you. -50 Approval.
Nymph Head has been letting beasts in, instigating attacks on you over and over to have the public see YOU as the bigger threat than Frostbite and others. -1000 Approval.
Soooo in shortā¦ A lot of incompetence to go around in this magical world. Little to no common sense at all.
-Side thought- Shame we havenāt had more or any interactions with our possible grandma and family in the Castellaās. I can imagine that would be āfunā.
