Maybe she has partial sight? Not all blind people are completely blind.

Lmao! Yeah. That’s an error on my part. Thanks for pointing it out.

I know that not all blind people are completely lack of sight. But she lost her sight in some kind of chemical accident or blast or something like that and it’s close to zero the probability of the partial blindness, especially when the same thing killed her brother and it’s already explained in the story.

:joy_cat::joy_cat::joy_cat: anytime. Also a small suggestion but I might either sound idiotic or something like that, still Amelia saying that will she ‘see’ MC felt like that phrase is ticking at y brain :joy_cat::kissing_cat::smirk_cat:…so, instead her asking ‘if she’ll meet MC again’ would be an appropriate sounding phrase there imo.

Yeah! Fixed that as well. Thanks! Btw, unless I am mistaken, I remember you saying you would like to be a tester. Has the role been assigned? I can’t tell if you have a different username over there.

As a blind person myself, it is not uncommon to say something like When will I see you again, or let me check this out etc, especially when you grow up and spend time with a bunch of sighted people. I mean, you eventually start talking the same way they do and everyone kind of gets It.

Does it matter whether you kill or not the pink short-side haircut person?

That’s good to know… will they be a RO? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

@Emily-katie_Smith Thanks! I’m working on the next chapter. Planning to have it out within 40 days.

@Denzil_Melgior_Nagel Thanks for sharing. I’ll keep it in mind.

@Max_Jones Yes, it does matter. If they are alive, they return down the line.

Typo in MIne is neat and orderly when taking Flavia to our desk

Nother typo when searching for princess
Can;t wait

Yes, I did say it.

:joy_cat::joy_cat::joy_cat: nope. Lemme check if by any off chance it happened and my mind was in another dimension.

Was there a rewrite? I have no idea what’s going on anymore.

Yeah, a while ago.

Realistically, it’s not using lethal force that would get Eden in trouble when saving the Princess, it’s the “Let’s pretend it’s a Western and shoot those machetes out of everyone’s hands” that could get Eden in trouble.

The department would see the latter as endangering Flava, Eden, and the hostages including the princess. That would be something they could actually see as a fireable offense. Not that they would, what with just saving the princess and everything.

So Flavia’s response flat out doesn’t make sense as is.

The first thought that comes to mind- If we had less lethal weaponry. This is a science fiction setting, it wouldn’t be that weird if we had even better alternatives than are available today.

If we could have left the kidnappers on the floor tased, or blind from mace, or knocked down with bean bag rounds or something, and we still chose to kill them…then Flavia’ reaction would make sense.

But I have no doubt that it’s not Eden’s department policy to expect its officers to do high speed trick shooting that the vast majority of their officers couldn’t pull off if their lives literally depended on it.

I pick for my MC to be a gay dude but the childhood friend ended up being a girl I thought that RO’s gender was playersexual based?

Oh I skip the prologue because I’ve already read it a few times now must have forgotten that choice happened there but still an odd thing to happen if the game gives you a choice to skip the whole thing, especially with playersexual gender thing.

So I want to start by saying that I really have enjoyed the revisions to the story. Admittedly I was a little lost at first(Saw that the story updated and jumped straight in without reading revision notes or post), after I got my bearings I really dove in and loved the added character interactions I got with the beginning.

That being said I had some minor critiques(that every time I type them seem nitpickey so feel free to ignore, but they kinda stuck with me) and some places where it looks like either the code is off or there’s small pieces of story missing. With screenshots of course.

Minor Story Things

During the celebration of the MC being selected to get augmented, it really feels like they aren’t there as aside from a few places where the others reference them, the MC never really interacts with the party even though it’s about them. Admittedly that works decently if you’re playing a stoic character, but my first few playthroughs kept the character type of flirty sarcastic extrovert so she would definitely not let most of those comments pass without interacting.

At the beginning of the characters time as Twilight, you paint the picture of Dawn as being the face of Gralea’s military, a public figure to be promoted and rallied behind and the opposite of who the MC as Twilight is supposed to be. And while this doesn’t stop them from still taking a secret mission and working undercover, it feels out of step to me to have the public face and black shadow on the same mission especially given the fact that Gralea seems like they’d want to minimize evidence of their involvement here.

Screencaps with explanations

I’ll start by posting the pronoun mismatch and miscodes I found first.

Aside from those however, there are some weird story beats I’ve found where it looks like we the MC are supposed to be responding to a question or comment that never came.



Also I found something that feels like its just a missed bit in the change over to the new story?

And finally just some weird ones I found. Here it just reads awkwardly how Corven is introduced.


Then this interaction when I’ve taken the driver seat.

And finally when my character just silently nods along with the innkeeper’s story

And to just end on what I read as a positive note, I’m most happy with the new way our characters get introduced to the Princess. As outlandish as a kidnapping is, it feels alot better than when before we’d be forced to hang out with her for a bit after randomly saving her dog from traffic. Also I will be joining your discord when I get home from work and hope that you’d still be open to more testers ^.^

You know I actually remembered something you changed up the story and I actually enjoyed more you know what you made my character Feels like a true revolutionary Fight for the right cause and dark parts inside to you background too just to make it more interesting I think my character is gonna do something involving his ambition for Justice not for his country not for the enemy country for himself and his ideals to change his country and the other country for the better even if it end good or sad end

F’s response makes sense because F doesn’t kill, at least not unless it’s extremely necessary. It’s the second instance where you had the option to not kill that they have take issue with.

The setting isn’t futuristic. Except for the presence of some form of magic, their technology is stuck in the 50s for the most part.

Thanks! That’s good to hear. And yes, I’ll rework the celebration scene and the other stuff. Appreciate the report.

Lmao! I agree.

I forgot to add the choices when skipping. Thanks!

i was a huge fan of the old version, but I like this even more. dawn is a ro right? seems like she’s emphasizing the friend part. also i know some ros (the knights) can already die, was wondering if it’s not a spoiler can all ros be killed in this story or will some be kept alive bc story reasons?
