I actually hardcoded that escape to fail but decided against it, went back, and wrote about 15,000 words of difficult escape option routes for people who refuse to lose

NGL, while i wouldn’t dislike getting funneled into the failure all that much, the smuggled key sequence alone makes the game twice as good (especially when played blind, without a walkthrough and it blindsides you as much as the protagonist)

How do you get that key? I’ve never seen it, although I haven’t played Kurokonton yet. Is it in that route?

When you’re hired as escort for trade caravan in Chapter 4 choose the option to rob them blind instead of doing your proper job. You’ll need some decent Lore and Perception skills, followed by Handseals and finally Stealth, to pull it off. Also, can’t have merchant background.

You mean the dude that orders his guards to attack as soon as you say the sect you are from?
Yup. But it’s better to introduce yourself as your clan leader anyway. So long as you have some basic prestige.
It’s perfectly legit, your MC can even determine as much with some Lore+Perception under their belt.

I never took the job because the contract sounded so shady. At least I know now it’s not shady lol.

Funny anecdote: the first time I made it to the second Taoi fight as an Aoyusumu style practitioner it was with the Trapper background. Naturally, towards the fight I was picking all the options related to faith, since Sakura Akira is a gud Christian girl. So when The heavens opened up during Taoi’s attempt to kill me, I didn’t realize it was because Small Sakura was about to make her entrance, and was instead convinced that YHWH himself was about to lay out a holy smackdown on an unholy monk
Incidentally, @cultivator-anon does Angelo have any relatives that go by Michael/Uriel/Gabriel etc?
Btw-for y’all folks trying to woo the shrine maiden (whether for the additional exp or for horny reasons) I’d like to point out that, at that point we have Taoi in our head. Some of you may be into that, but I think it’s a bit uncouth to let a demonic monk perv on Miss Mina. Unless at that point he still hasn’t recovered yet?

Okay, @cultivator-anon —crazy outlandish idea I know, feel free to retcon this idea immediately if you wish dear author—but hear me out:-
Gender-selectable Jack? His twin sister? An illegitimate child of Mao?
Replayed the game with a female protag for the first time, and I was genuinely, and pleasantly, surprised at the potential of a romance with him—the teasing from the MC, the blushy denial and reactions, the enemies-to-lovers aspect, and also the fact that Mao would be absolutely livid when he finds out his genius son has feelings for a former labourer!
So I thought it would be cool if something similar would also be possible for male MC! But no worries if implementing something like this isn’t possible, either due to lore or personal reasons. You are the creator of this game/story after all, so I’ll be okay with whatever you decide!

Was never active on the POMA thread, so is this a good thing or bad thing?
Again I’d like to reiterate, I’m not trying to pressure the author in any way. this is just an idea that came to me on a whim, I’ll gladly accept it if it’s not implemented if it’ll cause too much trouble

There were a ton of fans demanding that the main rival be male/female selectable so it’s basically the same thing, and don’t worry I don’t feel pressured lol, love the artwork though. I don’t think I’ll be implementing it in the main game but it could be a fun cameo idea or concept to work with.
I’ve saved all your artwork btw, incredibly flattering stuff
