Sorry for the late replies, got EXTREMELY busy with SOO many things, so Imma try and get back to giving it a thorough read! Sorry again if I’m obnoxious! >.<

Reply to your reply

Yeah, this is something I myself have been struggling with especially with fighting scenes and protraying emotions you can’t even see (For example emotions you can see through eyes especially because I’m a basement gremlin (I don’t really live in a basement) I don’t interact with people a lot so I’m like “How do you see emotions through eyes?” so I read a shittone and a lotta books have that and I’m like “Okay, I’m gonna wing it and hope it goes through” and surprisingly it works XD) I dunno where I was going with this and I kinda rambled ;-;

:flushed:

Oh it doesn’t have to be a “Wait, am I dead?” It can be just confused or something similar emotion. “Am I dreaming? Did I hit my head?” and then when he gets to She-Who-Invites, the memories flood back and boom! You get that (This is just a suggestion ofc, I’m just really loving the book so sorry again >.<)

Wait, you mean he sent one man to deal with 10 Yakuza people? >:C

Haha, two eyes are always better then one, plus it’s a well known fact that good writers are bad at spelling and hand writing XD I got the bad spellings and bad handwriting, all I need to do is be a good writer now lol (you’ve already achieved being a good writer tho ^-^)

And da review by a dummy

“you take out Koka-chan from your jacket pocket, and give him a gentle squeeze.”
Extra points on this. (I giggled and you’ve made my day.)

I forgot to copy the Haiku but I WHEEZED Man literally gave us cordinates XD

“It walks up to you, and brushes up against your leg, much like a cat.”
My day is now exceptionally better

“He is also stark naked, the light of the sunrise glistening on his shining pale skin.”

“No…” You say while looking at the floor dejectedly.

yes, right. The floor. Nothing else :sweat_smile:

“You leave Him standing confused”
The H here is tall (It took me a few seconds to make me realize the word I wanted was “capital” but I’ll leave it here cause Funny)

“You cross your arms as you watch him run off”
HE’S ALREADY NAKED I CAN’T STOP MY MIND FROM IMAGENING KIT BUCK NAKED RUNNING AWAY :sob: :sob: :sob: (I HOPE IT’S KIT)

“He is sat on the floor”
I’m trying so hard not to giggle and bury my face in the pillow but ehem.
Review: this sounds wrong XD

OH IT’S NAOKI AND NOT KIT.

OH IT IS KIT CAUSE NAOKI IS A KITSUNE!

(I’m a dummy indeed)

“You take the first sip of your water, and gulp down the liquid inside. After a few more sips, you notice Watanabe staring at you with an expectant look on his face.”

This could be reduntant thingie

“but I can’t say no anymore,”
This could be “But I can’t deny them anymore” it sounds right for some reason (It might not be right because English not native language but I dunno, could be me)

Huh, I just saw Makoto is 19 year old and suddenly it makes sense.

Blyat, 1hour break is over, will read it more tomorrow! Sorry for all the comments >.<

Watch movies and such where the characters are feeling those emotions and pay close attention to the facial expressions of the (good) actors. Even if you don’t think they look particularly sad/happy/etc, that’s still probably a good facial expression to consider because they’re literally professionals at portraying emotions and selling the performance.

Nonono stop apologising, your feedback is 1000% appreciated :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

That could work i suppose. I guess i was just focused on describing the scenery, and letting the reader come up with their own interpretation.

Correct. Lmao.

reply to feedback

Just for the record, I wrote that Haiku at 4am while sleep deprived. I regret nothing.

So, Kit is just the general term for the character that I use. Because it is possible to get 1 of 6 possible names depending on the mc’s backstory, and Kit’s gender.

Weakling…

Yeah, i kinda see the point here. But It makes more sense as you’ve said, when you learn Makoto’s age.

Again, thank you for the feedback! Stop feeling like you’re being obnoxious because you really are not.
:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
And I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far.

@KZV this is similar to @Lucas_Gendron’s suggestion, but I still agree with it being highly valuable experience. Thank you for the reminder getting it through my thick skull. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

So, wouldn’t it be reaaaaally funny, if I had got the entire next rewind section ready to go. But during final playtesting, I discovered a critical bug meaning I need to rewrite basically all the code for both act 2 and 1? Wouldn’t that be really funny?

Insert noises of pain here.

Anyway, I’ve learned two things here; to test as I go, and to not promise dates for updates, as they are very subject to change.

On that note, consider this my offical apology that it has been delayed as long as it has been.

Finally, in order to ensure that this isn’t just a rant post, here’s some art by the highly talented @Curious_Boy
I was originally planning to post these alongside the update, but I genuinely can’t wait any longer as I love them too much.

Agreed :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@Soda-27
There’s a lot that I need to say, but this isn’t really the place for it. Just know that I’m trying, sorry. But, thank you for the vote of confidence.

@ohokimlost
I wish I knew what that was lol :sweat_smile: you’re better off asking @Curious_Boy about the anime character on Makoto’s hoodie, since he came up with the design. I only specified an anime character with white hair. :smile:

@endmeleef
Oh. That’s interesting… :thinking: I believe that’s a temporary label I forgot to remove, :sweat_smile:

Browsing the name immediately
Oh… he did looks similar to him, sorry to dissapoint but i designed the character loosely based on @Leinco character description and a typical shounen anime characters (with leaves shapes hair etc)… feel free to headcanon it in your head as Kaidou Shun tho (◍•ᴗ•◍):heart: Makoto is supposed to be an anime otaku anw

@ohokimlost
*Psstt… here’s the clear version of the anime character on the hoodie in case you are curious (灬º‿º灬)

Dark Reunion must be secretly behind this coincidence!

Hiya everyone!

I am pleased to announce that I have defeated the monster known as the absolute mess that was my code. It all works as intended now, (at least to my knowledge. Please tell me if anything breaks or is weird in general.) So I am pleased to be able to finally release Act 2 Part 2!

I must also remind you to restart from the beginning, as several key variables have changed or otherwise been shifted, which means the game will break if you start from a save.

This is the second rewind section that your MC will be going through, and although it isn’t as long or dangerous as the Shinkansen, it is still dangerous, and you could die at any point if you aren’t careful. Not to mention, the code is also more complex than the first one, thanks to the powers that you are given at the beginning of act two.

Enough rambling, here are the features:

  • Recruit an Otaku
  • Buy a shirt for Makoto
  • Become a expert beef bowl reviewer
  • Die in a toilet block
  • Infiltrate a secret meeting
  • Die

That is all from me, enjoy! As always, if anyone has any feedback or comments in general, please do not hesitate to tell me. Have a great day!

It seems my persuasion build is somewhat useless, always dead end :disappointed:

So I found the knife but the game doesn’t seem to register that I have it so it’s not letting me pick the “have the knife” options.

@Wolvenkrass
I perfectly get that feeling on the train, but that’s because of the way that the stats are designed.

Some areas are naturally biased towards certain playstyles. For example, the train is mostly combat focused, while the concert is mostly stealth focused. But that doesn’t mean other stats don’t get a chance to shine at all, just less than the main focus.

@Lucky_Icarus
So, uhh… This is embarrassing.

I’ve had to juggle like 100+ temporary variables in the concert, and yet I forgot to set the literal most important variable which is “DO YOU HAVE A GODDAMN KNIFE?” to true when you actually pick up the knife. Highly embarrassing, but I will fix it immediately. I guess some things just slip through the cracks when your dealing with so many moving parts.
