(WIP) Untitled Late 16th Century Joseon Korea Historical Fiction [v1.01.00] Updated June 7th

The Dashingdon link has been updated, though not all promises have been able to be fulfilled (sorry about that). I will definitely have them polished and ready by the next update.

Nice update though I wish the update was longer in terms of words but all stands well . I would patiently anticipate the next update.

Glad to see more context with the skills. It certainly helped me to understand more. Looking forward to your next update!

Hey everyone, I am sorry to say that I never reached that intended update again due to unforeseen events and time is running out before my other commitments. So I may finish this next batch of update until sometime next month.

But as a heads up, the next series of updates will be considered [v1.01.01 and so forth] because while the main story won’t be progressing, the historical background sections added in the last update [v1.01.00] are being reworked into fully fleshed individual flashbacks with subplots.

The intended goals are the following

• Instead of passively learning about these historical events, the reader will know/decide what the MC did during that time;
• Include dialogue choices and skill checks that better reflect what to expect later in the story (when the war breaks out that is and MC joins the Royal Watch)
• Get the ball rolling a little faster by creating consequences through the resolution of these subplots;
• Confine the ‘tutorial’/introduction of this IF to the Prologue instead of having the MC continuously learn new things during Act I (which will kickstart once the MC finally returns home)

Cheers everyone, hope you enjoy the rest of the month.

We would patiently be waiting for the next batch of update and thanks for the info.

Nice story

Don’t know how I didn’t find this historical wip before but it was absolutely fascinating exploring Hideyoshi’s Invasion through Korea’s perspective.

First being unable to save sucked a lot and certainly limited the experience,giving this a Korean historical wip when your decide your childhood name for it being written on English felt a little out of place,personal suggestion write them in Korean with the direct English meaning right after,then use through the story when mentioned the Korean version of the word as it breaks the inmersion so much to hear the dad or whoever will use it to say it on English all the time be genuine with the setting,even if you take away the custom childhood name option in exchange of another Korean word that fits the nickname category all for the better.

Same critic when Seo (Governor’s son) introduces his sister as Silver,that feels incredibly out of place,use the Korean equivalent it fits the story better.

The skills page is easy to understand only Traversal had me a little confused but overall not a problem thanks to the Skill descriptions tab,specially curious about the Miscellaneous Skills from following a diplomatic route learning a language like Japanese or chinese to how stealthy you are…quite curious how many stuff you can include on this section skills that will surely make the game far more entertaining.

Concerning the personality and conduct section as far as I understood it implies you choosing your starting personality type(Lighthearted personality) and then shaping it through the story(with the stats Idealistic/Cynical etc)?

If that’s the case my only complaint is that the game doesn’t seem to recognise the personality choice when speaking with Seo,like you choose to joke around but the option keeps appearing there without you know fading after selecting it(you can click on the option for all eternity).

Beyond that I see no problem with the character creation and general prologue,the lighthearted dialogue fits the character so far and the story had a good presentation without being boring or confusing.

So eager to learn more about this side of The Imjin War,personally I have always studied it more like a prolongation of Hideyoshi’s ambitions and the Sengoku era so my knowledge kinda comes from the Japanese side,learning more about Korean society and politics as the main take will be fun for sure also very interested to read the interactions between the Samurai invaders and the Korean peoples as well as the Chinese interventions.

Portraying historical figures is always a challenge so good luck!

Edit:
Could I also recommend you introduce some kind of cheat for the MC’s stats?

Like after finishing the book you are able to replay it with boosted skills for the MC to add more replay value or from the beginning if people want to do an easy mode for skill checks during the adventure.

Good story

Game is really good. Please add save system. All so a little problem: Silver ask to letter we can say you forget something problem is we can all ways say this.

[LaReveuse]

My entire childhood of watching historical K-dramas has prepared me for this lol

Also, I agree with the others. A save system would be nice.
