Yeah, sorry, I did say that…:sweat_smile: I uploaded a fixed version where the requirement is lowered to 4.

Awe, but I was wanting to go for a rivalry romance with Barnabas. My MC won’t be bullied when he did nothing to embarrass Barnabas. (Barnabas embarrassed himself on his own) But he won’t cower and accept blame from Barny, just cause the guy can’t show accountability for his own stupid assumptions.

My MC told him he wasn’t a stable boy. He forgave him and didn’t let Nemio toss him out. Then he said nothing to the party about what happened. Barnabas made all the mistakes and acted like a presumptuous ass.

How did you reach Chapter 2? Did you play it from the beginning, use the option to skip to Chapter 2, or load a save from Chapter 2?

There’s actually a whole hate-love route specifically for players who choose to stand up to him, so no worries—you’re not locked out of romancing Barnabas just because your MC won’t put up with his attitude.

Well, if you load a save, it can lead to a lot of bugs. I recommend that you use the option in the beginning to “Skip to Chapter 2” or play through the whole game if you want that.

You can talk with the MC’s sister by choosing this option during the party: “You move towards Julia, who is talking animately to a girl and a boy.” then, at the end of that scene, there will be an option: “I was just searching for Iris, do you know where she is?”

After that, you’ll be (or at least you should be😅) able to talk to Iris.

Hey! I’m currently working on the rewrite. I’ll post the new Chapter 1 and prologue as soon as it’s done. (hopefully soon) :blush:

Take your time friend. I think I speak for many others when I say that we’re willing to wait for good quality content rather than urging you to put out something rushed.

Thank you, that really means a lot. :blush: I want to make sure this chapter turns out as good as it can be, especially since it’s the first one. And honestly, I’d rather avoid having to rework it multiple times, so I’ve decided to go all in with one big revision and include everything I want to add in one go. That being said, I’m always open to suggestions or new ideas!

Sounds like a smart way of doing things to me. I’d just caution you against trying to be a perfectionist on every little thing (not that you’re doing that or anything) to avoid second guessing every scene you write or burning yourself our rewriting something multiple times. I’ve never written a story myself, but I know I have a habit of doing that writing papers for university lol.

Just to make you aware, Dashingdon hosting will be closing soon so I would recommend moving this to cogdemos or uploading a compiled html file:

Hey! Yeah, I’ve got about 50k+ extra words now, and honestly, the whole chapter has pretty much been rewritten. I’ve only got two smaller scenes left to rewrite, plus some non-writing stuff to handle—grammar, spelling, pronoun variables, and some testing. I had some IRL stuff that pulled me away from writing (uni exams, course papers, etc.), but thankfully that semester is now over. Still, I’m really sorry for being such a slow writer. :confused: And seriously, thank you so much for sticking around and still being interested despite the wait! :blush:
