I am imagining the same, no other more fitting to get my MC to go outside, touch the grass and socialize.
Even though my MC will grumble about it

This was a pleasant surprise for sore eyes! Particularly I enjoyed the options extended to us, especially interacting with Loran and Orion. Time spent in the village during the healing stage feels much more natural when it comes to establishing Loran and Orion with the readers, not just the MC and I enjoyed Loranās company and person more compared to the previous demo.
I have yet to peruse through all the different shades that is MC however I appreciate the nuance that wasnāt there before for this part of the story. The previous demo was already a feast, and this one is smoother and more nuanced in flavored taste.
Iām happy there was an option to leave the village for those that have the desire to, it was an intense sequence and leaves me with more wonderment about this world youāve crafted.
Iām gonna miss Orionā¦

serious berserk vibes from the whole thing, from the grimdark world and gorefests to the tender moments with casc-i mean loran in between.
gonna have to deal with both that glorified cult and mcās racist dickwad of a past life and personality before retiring and settling down tho there might be a lifespan difference problem but surely a master warlock can find a solution to that. awesome writing, keep up the good work!

Hissing like a cat youāre taking to the veterinarian
Iām glad to hear that, these were a lot of the things I was specifically working towards and Iām happy I succeeded at some of the objectives.
Damn the narrative. Take care of your elders before they inevitably explode because you left them unattended long enough. Even if theyāre not even half as old as you.

Oooh, I remember reading this before! I liked it a lot back then, but this new teaser version is indeed even better! I enjoyed the new variety of choices, it really helps with the immersion into MCās thoughts, and I also liked how much more detail and description went into the text compared to the previous demo version. It feels grounded.
I know you asked for our thoughtsā¦ But I doubt Iām qualified to provide you any kind of feedback, considering English is not my first language. Iām constantly making mistakes myself, so it feels awkward to correct others. Hells, Iām probably going to make a mistake in this text. And honestly, your writing is really good, thereās nothing major to correct. Maybe the only part where I stumbled was this sentence: āThere is nothing to worry about, father is skilled, he saved quite a few lives hereā, and I just had a passing thought about - maybe to reconstruct this to have less commas? Feels a bit heavy to say out loud, almost like the speaker (Loran) is rushing it in one breath. Maybe something like: āThere is nothing to worry about! Father is skilled, he saved quite a few lives hereā, and now it feels like the speaker paused to take a breath after the first sentence. More natural this way? I feel silly, but maybe itās helpful? I hope it is.
Good luck with this story, and your other WIP! I like TWK too.

Youāre doing really well though, donāt downplay yourself I wouldnāt have been able to tell.
Iām not expecting technical advice from everyone when I ask for thoughts either, something as simple as āI liked this scene in particularā, or āI think this could work better another wayā, or āI enjoyed doingā¦ā or āI wish I could haveā¦ā is enough, Iāll take anything people have to offer.
I think itās a fair point, Iāll take a look at it.
There wonāt be a huge difference narratively, they come from the same place and have gone through the same things, but it will sometimes work to your advantage or disadvantage. It will play a role in some social interactions, the dynamic between a high elf and their peers isnāt the same as a dark elf and their peers at all and that will sometimes meaningfully change how you approach a situation.
The affinities for certain types of magic will also sometimes come into play in interactions.
