ayyy we actually got past stabby time this time around! liking what we have so far, good to see your writings still top notch. one teeny little gripe tho is that mc doesn’t seem to think too much of mama after the whole thing. rather the weep option seems to allude more to being alone and in pain…or does that pain come from mourning their mom? could be a little more direct in that area imo, or at least give her death a little more time and narration to sink in properly later

I was able to find that bug and squash it! Should be working fine now.
Unfortunately, your kindness doesn’t really matter to her and her kind, the only thing of relevance is the word and favour of the godSun.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the game! Thank you so much. As for how your chapter 3 ended…I’m guessing you got a bit stab happy? 
. There might be consequences down the road for allowing violence to consume you.
I wonder, how you found the personality system? Do you feel like you’re given enough choice and freedom to mould your particular character? Do you notice the game slowly responding to your personality?
Once again, thank you so much for playing.

Thank you! I’m working hard and carving out new words for y’all soon.
Thank you! I haven’t been able to give the game much time and attention because of life things, even now it’s a balancing act, but I would really like to get it done or at least make some decent headway towards getting it done, within this year. Thank you for your comment on my writing! I write and rewrite so much, sometimes I struggle to see if what I’m writing is good or just rambling.
hmm, I hear what you’re saying about allowing the mc to really sit inside the mourning of their mother, especially in the weep option. There will more more moments later in the narration for the death to be dealt with and the ramifications of it to sink in deeper, but perhaps even at this point it could be hammered down harder. I just didn’t want to overwhelm with sad writing, since I don’t really want this to become like a grimdark story, thoughI do want those elements present, it won’t all be doom and gloom.

They’re not the only one, my mc did too, after all she just killed the mc’s mother.
My mc, and I as the reader too, still cannot believe we survived that, even with a big bad demon inside our mc, we’re just an insignificant peasant kid, a little girl and an old exile up against what should be a divinely favoured demon-killing machine. 
See, my mc wouldn’t believe that, once he’s over the worst of his grief and thinking more clearly again, as it did nothing useful to actually help, either the downtrodden villagers in general, or the mc being definitely one of the most downtrodden even among the other repressed and poor villagers when we were actual downtrodden peasants.
Although I presume we did graduate to being outlaw vagrant vagabonds now, which is a step down I guess. 
So, I suppose as bad as the mc’s old life was, it is even worse now, particularly since the mc seems to have zero useful survival, vagabond or bandit skills.

The Sun worshiper is the demon … the entity on our side is the misunderstood power of those repressed and down-trodden in the kingdom.
Farmers are the bedrock of society … we have to be in the right.
My MC was always a target of the ruling elite… ever since that fateful day in the market square; she may not have any formal training or experience, but she has been a survivor, since her father went off to war.
Survivors will learn and adapt … and that is what I suspect we will see soon enough as @Left4Bed continues to release his story.

True, as things stand the odds are heavily stacked against your mc. They’ve lost their mother and their home (I don’t think that’s a real spoiler anymore, there are more important things to come). They’ve been injured by Heleana. And their only company is this little girl and an old exile, neither are people your mc really knows, both hold question marks in their backstory. How much you choose to trust them will be a choice you must make.
Lol, outlaw vagrant vagabonds indeed! With a divine target on your head. A Chosen has been slain. That won’t be taken lightly.
Everything is a matter of perspective.
This is very true. In this way your MC is not completely useless when confronted by this new chaos in their life. They might not have much specific knowledge or experience, outside of growing grain and rearing basic farm animals, but their Spirit is alive, their Body is naturally strong and their Mind is thirsty to understand.
You’re right, the MC will learn and adapt. What they choose to learn, and how they choose to adapt will be in the choices you make as the Teller of the story. The rest of the world and the significant characters therein will react to these choices, to the philosophy you choose to embody, to the violence you wage and the reason for the violence, to the personality you present.

An actual divine target, as in a D&D esque (interventionist) diety is unhappy we killed one of their chosen, or is this just the inquisition getting their panties in a twist?
It makes a difference to know if we’re merely doomed in case of the latter or super mega doomed in the former. 
Well my mc definitley does not trust the exile, his first instinct was to like the girl…but after what happened. Still I guess he trusts her a bit more than the old man.
Well will it be the mc, or the demon inside? I mean my mc’s second instinct after survive right now would be exorcising the demon. 
I thought they could read and write too, or is that just Ehren and Avia at the start?

Whenever you have the time could we please get a list/description of current and planned romance options? You see i like to create MC’s with specific romance options in mind from the start to either complement or juxtapose them. Im really liking this WIP and wish you the best of luck with it.

yeah i getcha. it’s fine if you don’t wanna go the doom and gloom route, but seeing as how the tragedy just happened and all, it’d make sense to have a bit of sad writing for a little while, at least until the real plot kicks in.
no worries about your writing, its still good. still kinda miss the “brothers come what may” line (maybe add a check to change it to that if mc is male?) but otherwise everything seems just as good as always.
oh yeah, the gender and orientation combos at ehren and aivah’s romance starting points might be a little bugged. might wanna check that

I don’t think we’re at that stage yet. We’ve met either two, Ehren and Avia or none of the ro’s yet, in case Ehren and/or Avia turn out to have been false romantic leads. I doubt the little girl and the old man are gonna be ro’s.
Well if the game is going to last for decades in-world, I suppose the little girl could eventually turn into an ro. Happy now? 
Yep, my mc really doesn’t trust the guy. He’s either crazy or evil or both I suppose, as literally a day ago the mc’s “affairs” were incredibly mundane and boring.
If he knew about the demon all along, why wait until the worst possible moment? In-game my mc is quite convinced that he didn’t used to have a demon inside of him, so for him there are only two explanations, either something happened when he touched and was burned by that sword or the little girl somehow did something to him in that cavern during the storm. He prefers the first explanation, as for the second one it would mean the creepy fortune teller must have been in on whatever this is too.
