SPLIT: the Mortal Wound (WIP) UPDATE CHAPTER 3 p3 [245 K words total] - mafia, romance, fantasy

I agree about Sieuns’ chapter 3 I think it could benefit from some editing. It wasn’t very cohesive and I felt a bit confused at times. I hope it gets looked over because I really like Sieun as a character.

I enjoyed Marks chapter a lot and it makes me very interested to know what horrid things are going through his mind.

Ok , yh the whole romance thing with Si-Eun is too fast paced. Probably could have been sprinkled across various chapters or could have somewhat a bit slow burn

Thank you so much!

I’m really glad you enjoy Sieun as a character.:smiling_face: May I ask if you played the romance route or the neutral one?

Just to give some context, the neutral route was completely cut. It originally existed because of the introduction of a new character (available in both Sieun’s and Seb’s paths) and some extra content related to Robin. I decided to remove it to avoid narrative jumps or a sense of disconnection.

I’m currently working on a broader overview to help tie everything together as the story progresses, which will include polishing Chapter 3. The core structure and pacing of the date will remain the same, but I plan to add some new content to Chapters 1 and 2, since Sieun’s date will be more restricted by stats going forward.

Thank you for your feedback.

The relationship with Sieun isn’t meant to be a slow burn. It’s written as something intense and fast-paced, with more emphasis on the challenges of maintaining a turbulent relationship.

Oh ok

I played the romance route and just to clarify I don’t mind that the romance is fast for Sieun I particularly enjoy that sort of thing and I think it fits their character. It was mainly the structure of the sentences it felt like we were jumping around a lot and the pacing for the chapter was off I think @ Sel_Lee described the inconsistencies well.

I don’t want you to feel like I’m harping on that though. I’m looking forward to whatever edits you make and future chapters. I really enjoy this IF a lot.

How do you even start a relationship. Like none of the relationship flag activated for me. Is it bugged? Or is there some kind of requirements? I wish we could see the code.

edit: I got it now I seem to have messed up some choices in the beggining.

And wow this is great, Author really nailed the whole mafia theme. And the romance is very mature I love it. I’m now one of your biggest fan.

Can Someone please Say What Exact Choices Trigger Sieun’s Romance?, No Matter what I Do I can’t Seem to trigger the Route.

Unless something was changed in the background, it is supposed to happen automatically. The Sieun romance scenes, that is. I don’t know if there’s anything you can do before those scenes arrive to make Sieun not interested, because of how they happen.

Even making zero effort to flirt with them doesn’t make them disinterested, because they just have a crush, and are willing to act on it as soon as you make a point to visit them. They’ll only “start” the heavier romantic stuff on the second visit to their apartment, though, that’s after the scene with the orphans and care home seniors, and the visit to Sieun’s childhood home. If you got all the way to the end of the demo before seeing any of that, then there could be a pathing bug, but that doesn’t seem likely since it was working before. If you didn’t see the stuff I blurred, then just keep reading; you’re not there, yet. I can try to see if it doesn’t work on my end, too, meanwhile.

Your probably not there yet. Or you made conflicting choices on the the sexual orientation of the MC and Seuin’s gender.

I Replayed the Game again And found out the issue, It’s a bug Right At The Start of the Selection of the Genders of the Ro’s, I Selected only the Doctor As Female In my First run And For some Reason despite Having the Right Sexuality The Scenes didn’t triggered only when I Selected both Ro’s to the Same Gender did The choices start Appearing in my second run, Thank You And @Leon_Kincoln For Answering.
