Lost in your eyes (WIP) [July 22 2025 Update] [5 Ch, 280K words] [Vampires/Romance/Modern Dark Fantasy]

Update time!

Sorry for the late updates the past week, been extremely busy >.<

I have also decided to postpone the release date of chapter 3.2 and will release it with chapter 3.3 The reason is that you can skip the entire chapter, and M. Blaine can summarize the entire chapter when you come back from the date with John/Elizabeth in chapter 3.3 which is causing a few bug issues.

Spoiler for chapter 3.3: Chapter 3.3 Will also be skippable, and you can meet Adrian much sooner. (Since the entire point of chapter 3.3 was getting to know John/Elizabeth and introducing how the MC is being protected by the Pendant.)

There will be a lot of changes in chapter 3.3 as well

Update time!

I tried my best to update chapter 3.4 (the last part of the third chapter) this week but unfortunately trying to rewrite 18K is a bit too much and I kinda failed :confused: HOWEVER I did try my best and was able to rewrite almost 13K words! Unfortunately it’s not only the rewrite that I have to write but also the skipped parts, and part where Adrian is revealed much earlier. That’s pretty much it! I’ll hopefully be able to update the Patreon version next wednesday-thursday!

Update time!

My brain kinda mush rn BUT

chapter 3.3 is almost done,

Need to finish up writing up Adrian’s Scenes (They won’t be too long don’t worry!)

Need to write up M’s scenes where they give the summary of the mission that was done if you choose to skip the chapter.

A lot of John/Elizabeth’s dialogues were changed and since they’re healers, and can sense pulses and blood circulation in someone’s body, they’re the best for anyone playing a shy MC that isn’t vocal (Idk if I explained it correctly but long story short, a few options for characters who are silent type and want to romance John/Elizabeth)

Massive, and I mean MASSIVE thanks to @Vanya for pointing out M’s faults, those issues have been fixed and (Good lord I’m so sorry you guys had to read all that stuff, Idek what goes with my brain sometimes :sob:) John/Elizabeth’s issues have also been fixed!

I’ll be releasing the Patreon version on wednesday-thursday and then the updated version next week’s wednesday-thursday. Thanks for your patience and I deeply apologise!

Can’t wait to read it! :slightly_smiling_face: Unfortunately I can’t pay for patreon but I’ll wait patiently. I already miss my cutie M. :heart:

Oh, and thank you for being so receptive of criticism. :slightly_smiling_face: At the end of the day it’s your story and you will always know best what you want to write and what’s best for your story, so you actually listening to what I had to say was very nice.

I like that you’ve included some thoughtful question prompts, and am looking forward to chewing on them and sharing! But for now, here are some things I’ve noticed that are less introspective :sweat_smile:

Bugs/Typos/Thoughts

The red-headed woman thought to herself. [Natasha is blonde?]

Sure, it was hard to deal with ${hhim} from time to time, but overall, ${pc_name} was fun to be around. [should be ${pc_his} instead of haye’s pronouns]

"Focus on both attack and defence [defense]

And then ${hhis} eyes fluttered open lazily and ${bname} froze in panic.
[should be pc’s pronouns instead of haye’s]

“Of course, it won’t,” You scoffed. “You’ve had my back for nine years. I won’t let anything like this come between us.” [wait what??? i thought MC and Blaine haven’t known each other for that long??? MC is 18, so they’d have to have met at 9]

${bhis} face in ${bhis} hands, then peeked from between her fingers [forgot to make that her a ${bhis}]

Flaky croissants, gooey cinnamon rolls and macarons. [just a suggestion, but “colorful macarons” to continue the adj noun pattern.]

by the friendly smile of a female cashier [I feel like the “female” part is unnecessary; it made me pause while reading to consider the implications, interrupting the flow.]

I felt my cheeks grow warm and fed him. ⇑♥/⇓60 [not sure what the 60 is?]

I mean, look at me," she slowly turned around as if showing off himself. ${Vhe} slowly turned around as if showing off ${bhim}self [used b’s pronouns instead of v’s here]

$!{Vhe} pulled ${Vhis} hands back and punched the wall, hard enough that his arm sank all the way to the elbow. [missed putting v’s pronouns there instead of “his”]

Vivian cleared his throat awkwardly. ${vname} cleared ${bhis} throat awkwardly. [using b’s pronouns instead of v’s]

partitioned by curtains. Th [extra th in an odd place]

I didn’t like him at all. [j’s pronouns should be her here for me, looking at the code *set Jhim "him" should be “her”]

Living with your parents, you often suspected they had mixed blood into your food, which explained why your hunger never felt satisfied.

Throughout the years of living with your parents, you suspected they added a few drops in your food to keep you from starving. It explained why you were always hungry for something more. [worded differently, but both sentences convey the same thing, so it feels like an oversight to have the repetition?]

$!{PC_name} has been tugged left and right like a rope in a tug of war. [I chose to use a fake name for infiltration]

Gregory glared at the doctor. "A week? Did you not see his fighting skills? She’s better than our veterans "A week? Did you not see ${pcb_his} fighting skills? [my pcb should be her, but it’s coded as “his”]

Especially after the test you just went through, ${pc_name}." [also should be fake name here]

There were some tweaks but Natasha is red, firey hair now Cause witch has witch hair

That is genuinely such a good catch cause, yeah I did a lore change, and it’s supposed to be 5 years, and I wouldn’t have even realized it until you pointed it out XD

The amount of brain cells I have :weary_face: (Fixed it, sorry :sweat_smile:)

Fixed! I didn’t even use ${pcb_his} in the beginning, thanks a tonne!

Thanks for everything!! I really REALLY appreciate the help cause damn, some of those problems, I wouldn’t have caught at all :sob:

(ALSO I WILL POST AN UPDATE IN A FEW HOURS SORRY FOR MAKING YA’LL WAIT!!)

Update time! Very, very sorry about delaying it so much, the past two days have been hectic to the point my brain felt mush :sweat_smile: HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean this week was spent dilly dallying!

More improvements and bugs were fixed in the game. Massive thanks to @Vanya and @saltwaterwitch

The last part of chapter 3 is now being worked on. After that, I’ll move onto chapter 4!

Chapter 3.3 went from 19K to 14K with around 4k new words added! (New choices and how John/Elizabeth acts and how a stoic/silent MC acts)

rewrote 3.5K words of chapter 3.4! Will be releasing it for Patreon on Wednesday-Thursday! And it’s public release the week after the next!

Will be making the public release tomorrow so look forward to that ^-^

Thanks for your patience, and I apologize!
