Will this game have poly? Don’t want to accidently start any love triangles cause of how messy they are and I don’t want to be like Kirito from SAO (Sword Art Online) who’s just letting those girls follow him and somehow giving them false hopes that their relationship with him might become something more instead of making it very clear that it won’t change, no matter what they do.

I don’t plan on doing any poly route for now, might make a poll and see people’s thoughts on that, even after that I might still not be inclined to do it before I don’t really like that.

Now to just geek out on SAO, you’re right about the messy life Kirito was, unconsciously, living, but his situation was more like a harem anime than a poly route.
To me, a harem is more of a pyramidal relationship with one person which garner all the other’s attention. Vs poly routes where it’s more akin a circle and all the people involved like each other. I don’t plan on writing a poly route but I’ve played a few games CoG or HoG where that kind of relationship was well done.

TO SUM IT UP : no poly route unless testers suggest/I find that it might be a good addition to the gameplay

Following the poll’s results, you won’t go further in the storyline right now, but I did add a few new important paths :
-the last way to die ! I had three planned when I started this story, and I’m finally done, this one is a bit interesting because it dwells on the work life of your mc before dying.
-platonic Maria during the rest day
-Tisman/Timothy path in the rest day (there’s quite a lot of content in here)
total playable word count (I always exclude the code lines from this btw) : 134k

I’m working on wording, and text structure, as I always say, this will take time but instead of going directly find a betatester, I would like to try to improve by myself a bit.
I’m still very eager to have feedback and discuss about the game, the lore, or even Youjo Senki/any anime I’m referencing in the game.

Thanks for playing the game and the support,
until next update if,
Deus lo Vult !

Ok. I only just started playing the Demo but I really wanna fucking kill the God and destroy the world I have been isekaied into.

I rather make everyone suffer than be their saivor.

if u do that then what about the ros because u will basically have to fight them and miss a chance of dating them

I have played a ton of games on both the Hosted and COG formats and I rarely romanced anyone because the ROs rarely appeal to me and often never attract me.

Also I played a Resistant Keeper in the Sun and Moon trilogy. That would be enough to know my stance on this.

Thanks for playing ! And yeah the God is the one pushing crap on you so I understand the anger.

Unfortunately you won’t be able to just turn your back against the world in this game (when I finish the main story, I might actually make a version where you can become a villain), but I’ll try to give as many option as possible to get a jaded, not selfless isekai hero, mc

Thanks again for the comment : D

Ahahah you’ve got your head screwed on right on the romance and I respect that (I really like romance too)

I’ll also need to dev correctly the platonic paths to make the game enjoyable for everyone, sometimes romance is a turn off for some people so I need to be careful.

Thanks for commenting and playing !

Hmm. Actually looking forward to the Selfish MC and Resentful MC routes and choices you plan.

And thanks for you not forcing the Romance unlike some of the games here.

Then stay tuned for the next update as I’ll implement one or two “harsher” options + put the mentor path up which is the only interaction that is through and throughout platonic.

Anytime you’ll choose Adama (the one who came to test the kids at the orphanage), you’ll get a 100% non romantical play

And thanks for you not forcing the Romance unlike some of the games here.

You’re welcome, and that should be a given in games that aren’t in Choice of Heart or romance focused. I personally prefer playing games with strong romance, but if we as dev try to make the game as friendly as possible to every sexual orientation, we should also mind the fact that some people aren’t here to rizz up other characters

UPDATE

You actually ignited a whole new playthrough path I’ll write and which will be the next update. I slept for a few days on your idea, and I’ve read the forum thread of a very successful game which is mostly bashed because of lack of agentivity. Now, I’ll literally write a new death path to make a more, morally grey mc.

Thanks for the comment because it’s only by interacting with all of you that I can make my game even more relevant. : D

For now not to big of a worry judt something to be fixed by the end lol

I am enjoying it and looking forward to the mentor path seeing what its like and whats in store for us.

Thanks for the comment and the constant feedback you give at each update, really appreciate it : D !
I’m glad you’ve noticed improvement in the new passages because I’ve tried to change my writing a bit to make things better. I’ll keep on reviewing the oldest parts to make them fit the style I’m going for now.

I am enjoying it and looking forward to the mentor path seeing what its like and whats in store for us.

I think I’ll have fun writing it because it’ll be a purely comedic option, no romance of course, and I’ve designed Adama as my favorite kind of anime teacher character : unserious and caring (in their own ways), but super op, aka Kakashi, Gojo or Izumi

Once again thanks for the comment and for playing !

So this is an anime Isekai fantasy story right? The genres should be explained in the summary for clarity imo.

Also 8 ROs is overkill, just put in 3-5 gender chooseable ones imo, many IF stories tried putting a bunch of ROs and it derailed their stories as a result.

@mah_sanogo i just wanted to say this is a great read. Still playing through it and just wanted to i love the easter egg. (Arise )

Thanks a lot for the kind comment, I really appreciate it ! Glad you enjoyed the easter egg, I’m actually planning on putting way more throughout the game so stay tuned ;D

As I’m always asking, if some things are a bit awkward or hard to understand, feel free to comment about them so I can improve !

That’s actually a good point lol ! Can’t believe I’ve went over every weeb, especially my own, childhood dream of having a katana ! I’ll take your comment into consideration and I’ll add it during the next few updates, thanks !

Thank you a lot ! I’m really a fan of bladesmithing and history, so I take interest in all the different ways people across Earth conceived their blades, had to put a few guns in the mix to fit everyone’s fancy, but blades are so cool ahahah

As for the ida sword, it does look extra smooth and has a lot of drip so I had to use it

NEXT UPDATE :
1/after interacting with a few readers, I’ve decided to go further into the agentivity of the player, which I find the most important in a HG or CoG game, so I’m writing a new death path where you’ll get to start with a character delving in a few more…unsavory things. I’ll make it so that if you choose this path, you’ll, concretely, get to be a douche bag to others a bit more.
Even without choosing this path, I’m also writing my choice in a way where you’re no longer as goody two-shoes as before.

2/The shopping trip with your friends will get a new path, this time if you choose to go eating out, you’ll get to be an arse to a few people who deserve it (with a choice which could actually make the person you dislike disabled)

3/A new path during the rest day ! This time with your mentor Adama ! Strictly platonic interaction, I’ll have to gather all my, hopefully, funny bones to make it interesting

I’m in vacation so it might not come so soon, but I’ll have this by the end of August !
