It’s live! I’ve updated the public demo of The Eternal Library! 
You can now play both routes through chapter five in their entirety. 
The Public Demo is now up to 180,000 words!
The Patreon Demo is just shy of 200,000 words, including my progress so far on chapter 6!
New material includes:
- POV scenes that bring insight into Prince Collin and the royal family.
- Intrigue, drama, and the business of the kingdom.
- A letter from Angelina and a chance to write her a response.
- Romantic moments with Collin, Sevitas, and Marienna.
- A chance to spar after a tense exchange.
- And more!
I posted an update in the writer’s support thread, for those of you who are interested in how things are going:
As always, please let me know if you find bugs or typos in the game.
I hope you enjoy the update! 
Brightest blessings to you and yours this season!

Thank you for the warm welcome back!
I was hoping the update would bring you joy for the Christmas season. 
I originally launched the demo around this time last year, and wanted to do something special again for readers like yourself. I hope you enjoy it!

This story is wonderful, really well-written and does a great job at drawing you in, in my opinion! Love the different ROs, especially Collin and Dorian, adoring the poly route with them!
I did find a couple minor mistakes in Chapter 4 though.
Minor Spoilers
First, on your visit to the Library, you can question Temphesta on whether or not she’s been before, but you still ask the same question after returning to her room. Second, choosing to check on the kitchen staff over going to the dungeon has you brought to the Guards room and given a sheath and armored shirt, but the scene in Temphesta’s room is written as though you don’t have those, and she provides you with them.

Hi! Thanks so much for playing! I’m glad you’re enjoying the story overall.
Thanks for pointing out these discrepancies in ch4. That’s not how I was trying to code it, obviously. EDIT: I’ve made changes so the conversation with Temphesta only occurs once, and hopefully clarified the King’s Guard uniform later in the chapter. Edits are uploaded and shouldn’t mess with anyone’s saves as I didn’t change the startup file.
Have a fabulous weekend!

IMO it’s hard to find romance that I find appealing on these apps, but your writing and pacing are difference maker, so much so that I don’t even mind the slow burn. Didn’t notice you wrote the other two books I bought, your stories have easily joined the group of books I buy without question. Keep up the terrific work.

Thank you! What a wonderful compliment! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my stories.
I did not know this was even a name. 
I often just smash letters together to create fantasy names, or take a name I’m familiar with and change something to make it more unique. Sometimes I use BehindTheName.com (which just informed me that Zai is, in fact, a name), but I don’t always check if I’m in the flow of writing and want to carry on. I like your brother’s name. I will try not to do anything terrible to the archivist in honor of your brother. 
Yes! They are stolen romantic moments, of course, brief and still reserved at this point in the story, but they are definitely there.

Before this thread goes dormant again, I wanted to pop in and say I’m working on The Eternal Library slowly but surely. It will be a while before I release another public demo as I want to have enough content to make it worthwhile, but I’ll be sure to let you know when it’s ready.
I’ve been diving down rabbit holes of homesteading videos, garden planning, and preparing for our first chickens this spring. It’s a lot of fun and a healthy distraction, which is the best kind. 
I hope the new year is treating you well thus far. Hard to believe it’s already February! Time is flying, but I’m chipping away at The Eternal Library little by little, and the story continues to grow.

Thank you for sharing this! I love learning the meaning behind different names. Your parents chose a wonderful name for your brother.
