I rly love the story, but i sometimes feel that the MC doesn't get to b vulnerable or cry despite their challenges throughout the story, it feels like its more stressed or not?
Do N and A's have branches too in chapter 11 or is there just meant to be the IAOS vs Vampire Clan paths?
Im new to this IF so im really glad there's already 12 chapters worth pf quality content out for me to read. I basically spent the last two days just going through all the posible choices and dialogue options. Every feels nicely paced. As far as all the interactions and personality types go its also quite realistic and very enjoyable to read. I can kinda already see where all the routes + main plot is heading and its making me very excited for future chapters.
You got it, it's just those two (the IAOS and vampire war paths), then the training room scene. Everyone gets their chance in that chapter, just not as equally as some previous ones.
Used the weekend to re-read from chapter 1 (10/10 - would recommend) since I needed the refresh, and - wow: Was it great to rediscover this story again. Loved chapter 12. I have a particular penchant for great dialogue-focused scenes, so an entire update, literally, focused on the dynamics of people sitting around talking (or not!) to each other, and the hidden/blatant of their motives -- Delish~ Adore your convo volleys; your use of repetition; how MC feels like their own layered and deeply interesting character. They're really falling apart, huh? 😂 Looking forward to seeing those limits....
Being in the elite and exclusive faction that is K lovers (Kaia for me), I was pleasantly surprised how much interaction we got with them in a place you'd think wouldn't afford a lot of intimate moments! Kudos for -- Realistically (cuz we know Fae Queen be side-eying) -- weaving those in. When K used my hunter's first name, no lie, I had an Entire visceral reaction. I was like: '....whoaaa....'; kinda expected MC to scream 'HOLY SH*T!!' haha Fav bit - beyond that - had to be talk about K sitting next to MC. The - 'why? why? YES - WHY' -- Screaaaming~ Such a good meal~ Very much worth the wait and I'm grateful you're so committed to keeping up with this. Here's hoping you enjoy every fruit of your labors! ❤️
You're definitely part of the elite club—K is such a great RO. Extremely underrated for some reason, but I'm glad that there's still people who go for them. I loved writing that scene very much, so I'm glad that you had fun reading it! Thank you so much for the lovely comment <3
I humbly request a ‘Grumpy Warlock’ badge for my commitment to the cause. (I’d also take Kaia in a ‘Foxy Grandma’ hat if you’re feeling generous. 😆)
My hot take: I think K is just a far more Mature romance than many are used to/want to deal with. It’s not the ‘high school, twitterpated, doki doki in spring’ kind of route — you have to Werk. And there’s really no guarantee (beyond you making K a LI, so there must be some chance lol) that your efforts will pay off. K straight up tells you to cut that nonsense out. (There’s also ‘immortal’ bit, but I like that sort of thing.) But I’m truly rapt by my MC and K’s dynamic; how they’re so freakin REAL. I can’t wait to see all those walls crumble; bit by bit. Incremental K affection is just that rewarding~ And I feel like they have to earn my MC too. Scene I mentioned also did a great job showing K has to contribute or might lose out as well. (dum dum Duuuum)
Finally got to play the update! loved it ofc (Blane my pookie wookie dookie bear)
Wish i was kidding but three minutes after the update dropped i was told my stepdad broke 4 ribs from a horse-riding accident (... You didnt cause it i hope)
My whole heart goes out to Blane…… Can’t imagine what they’ve been through that ended up with them being so repulsive to interact with the fae world :(
And I must say, this has a really interesting premise!! I love the characters (even if I only picked Rylan as my main romance option for now), they're all so unique, and the story itself is so good and always keeps me at the edge of my seat xD
I'm really intrigued to see how this goes, but for now, I'm really hoping to see more!!
I really like this if! The new update makes me crazy. I'm wondering how Rylan is so charming to me. By the way, I want to know when the next update will be.
I'm not a native English speaker, so I hope my translator works. :)
I love this so much! Second time having to go back through because I lost all my previous data annoyingly. In other news, I think I have the best possible contact name for Blane
I'm a little obsessed tbh, I love all the characters and how personlike they feel. Blane and Kian are my current interests but I see myself pursuing any of them.
I like how Blane doesn't stop being himself, his snark doesn't die down but he starts showing more consideration, the way you can tie back his current words to how he used to act, and how not everything is because he hates you guys but more on top of how he feels about the entire situation.
It's a level of depth I heavily enjoy.
I have theories of who our mysterious person is, and I'm so sad I cannot have a confirmation. I actually let out a noise when I got to the end of C11, and was so happy when I got to play C12.
Blane seems very surface-level initially, but there's a lot of depth to them and I'm very excited to explore that further. I'm happy you picked up on that. Thank you for playing !
Will there ever be a walkthrough posted? I was wondering mostly because I wanted to know if there was a romance route with Rylan, that didn't involve Kai lel
i've been able to get romance scenes with rylan without interacting much with K. i think for some things it is necessary, like when choosing if you get a text (i think i dont actually really remember) from either blane or rylan and K. but for the most part, if you just choose rylan for basically everything, you're bound to go along their romance route ദ്ദി˙ ᴗ ˙ ) (and i do suggesting choosing rylan for everything because the exchanges between them and the MC in chapter 12 is genuinely so gut-wrenching in a good way)
Just finished! Oh my gosh, my MC NEEDS K!!! He is literally perfect for her. Like, she will not take care of herself, and he is being soooo perfectly insistent that she does already, and I know things are barely starting with them! I loved how I could feel his internal war, yet also not being able to not care. And I loved everything else about the chapter as well. The Fae Realm was so fun to imagine and experience. Thank you for the update <3 (Literally made my night, was having some bad days and this really cheered me up)
I'm sorry to hear you've been having some bad days but I'm glad that I could provide you with a bit of happiness, even if it was brief. Thank you for playing !
i started reading this IF months ago but genuinely, nothing had made me feel the way i'm feeling right now. chapter 12 was, holy moly. it feels like there's a pit in my stomach; as if i was living through everything that occurred in this latest chapter. i truly love this IF so much (ó﹏ò｡) and god, rylan... i am genuinely going insane over the complexity of the relationship between the MC (or well us kinda since the IF is first-person pov..) and them. the freaking silent exchanges this chapter i'm screaming ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) i absolutely love the pace of the progression with rylan but i NEED something more NEOWWWW (⊙෴◎) sigh, i don't think i'm gonna be able to wait for the next chapter without going insane (◞‸◟；) author you are so amazing i love you and your writing so much pls don't explode
Wahh thank you so much! This is such a wonderful message. I love writing the dynamic between Rylan and the Hunter because it's so unique. There are so many routes you can take with it; it's extremely fun. I'm glad you like them as much as I do :)
I wonder if the text is changed a bit based on how much like, how good your relationship with a character is 🧐
(I think i may found a typo or I'm just dumb but
I shift uncomfortably. She's right, of course. At the end of the day, despite how important I am, I'm only a cog in a w
. I don't even have the most power in my department, let alone the New York Institute—or the organization itself.
The sentence: ...despite how important I am, I'm only a cog in a w . And I'm wondering if it's missing the last word, I'm not native English speaker so i don't really know but just thought I'd point it out (?) make a comment about it point it out is probably better so yeah... This comment feels so awkward)
I can't believe i forgot it's coming out today (we will not talk about that i already made a comment 14 hours ago.)
Played the new chapter for the first time (yes I'll replay it i need all the romances) and oh ma goddess- i- I don't know what else to say then i need more and also can the author just marry me? [I should know when to stop talking, anyways] Why this If so good and addicting (not that I'm complaining tho 😌)
Reread the story to get a refresher for tomorrow and realized that fashionably professional might not be available so seeing I still have it from my earlier save makes it feel like I got a limited time clothing choice. :)
Haha yeah, sorry about that! I revised some of the clothing categories a while back and I didn't realize I made a cut, whoops. But hey, you're one of the special ones now :)
can you add more gender neutral clothing options? i know they say that any gender can wear any color but i feel like the masculine clothes are very femboy like
After maybe almost a year i realized this is written in first pov (I.... My hair....), and honestly? i love it. I've read so many ifs which where written in second pov which I like but there's just something about it that I don't like 🤷♀️ (yes i suck at explaining), tho the ifs are still good i personally like first pov a lot more, why? Well idk
...and that's all just wanted to point it out and say my thoughts because i gotta tell it to someone
Edit: huh... Funny how my views and way i play the game change from when i first played
the amount of times ive played this game...... friend, i truly love your writing style and the life you breathe into your characters. i know you obviously have plans to update this IF but like. even if you never did again i beg of you not to stop writing because I can see the passion and the effort and i adore it.
Oh man, what a compliment. Thank you so much! There are definitely times where writing slows down a bit and I get into a slump, but trust me, I have no plans to abandon this :)
am i replaying this game for who knows what time again? Yes. There's no other option. (Just to make sure I'm replaying because this game is so good like the story the characters everything)
spent my whole day, evening and night binging this and im CLAWINGGGG at the bars of my enclosure begging to be let out !!!
ITS SOOOOOO SOOOO GOOD!!! the way you write characeters and their emotions and dynamics just hit so hard and its so exceptionally well done! all of them have grown on me SO much but nikolas & arden have my heart real bad #needthat
AND THE WORLDBUILIDNG!!!!!! its just so gripping and had me on the edge of my seat and i am so sos SO excited to see where the rest of the story goes and i'll diligently be looking out for updates eekkeekeke
OH AND THE MC!!!! I LOVEEEE how theyre characterized, it all just feels very real to me, especially those panic attack scenes!! they felt so surreal i was panicking along w them lmfaoo 😭
KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!! the writing and worldbuilding and the premise and just everything about this is so so so amazing i literally have no words and its all so engaging im begging to be let out of my enclosure
I play some games on cog demos and let me tell you when i couldn't save anymore o deleted my history (now the saves are working again) And i lost all of the saves on this game
well at least i have a new excuse as why i am replaying this again
I've just started playing/reading, the beginning itself is very engaging, I r e a l l y like it. But how many chapters are there going to be? I'd like to play the full game, knowing that the story won't suddenly halt in the middle, you know?

I've recently found this game and have had fun playing so far! Is there a release schedule for new chapters?
I rly love the story, but i sometimes feel that the MC doesn't get to b vulnerable or cry despite their challenges throughout the story, it feels like its more stressed or not?
Spoiler Warning kinda

Do N and A's have branches too in chapter 11 or is there just meant to be the IAOS vs Vampire Clan paths?

Very much worth the wait and I'm grateful you're so committed to keeping up with this. Here's hoping you enjoy every fruit of your labors! ❤️

Finally got to play the update! loved it ofc (Blane my pookie wookie dookie bear)
Wish i was kidding but three minutes after the update dropped i was told my stepdad broke 4 ribs from a horse-riding accident (... You didnt cause it i hope)
Oh my God? I hope he's okay...
Yes he is thankfully! (Besides the ribs and a nasty ass bruise ofc)
My whole heart goes out to Blane…… Can’t imagine what they’ve been through that ended up with them being so repulsive to interact with the fae world :(
You'll find out soon :)
omg (patiently waits chapter 13 :3)
Just finished it! (As of Chapter 12)
And I must say, this has a really interesting premise!! I love the characters (even if I only picked Rylan as my main romance option for now), they're all so unique, and the story itself is so good and always keeps me at the edge of my seat xD
I'm really intrigued to see how this goes, but for now, I'm really hoping to see more!!
I'm glad you liked it! There will be more to come :)

I'm not a native English speaker, so I hope my translator works. :)
I usually update every couple of months, since it's just me working on this. I have not even started writing Chapter 13 so it will be a bit of a wait.
I'll wait all the time!!!
I love this so much! Second time having to go back through because I lost all my previous data annoyingly. In other news, I think I have the best possible contact name for Blane
Yell Heah friend, I had them saved as "Shrekner" on my save. Giving loved ones goofy contacts is one of the best things in life
i call him bitch Rekner :3
I'm a little obsessed tbh, I love all the characters and how personlike they feel. Blane and Kian are my current interests but I see myself pursuing any of them.
I like how Blane doesn't stop being himself, his snark doesn't die down but he starts showing more consideration, the way you can tie back his current words to how he used to act, and how not everything is because he hates you guys but more on top of how he feels about the entire situation.

I head cannon that my MC escaped from a cult and therefore has horrendous social skills.
😂

Thank you! This is definitely a bug. I'll fix it by tonight :)
I can't believe i forgot it's coming out today (we will not talk about that i already made a comment 14 hours ago.)

RAHHH SO EXCITED TO SEE THE UPDATE
Oh wow its been an hour. Anyway that was awesome sauce!!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
open my computer and realized the new chapter was coming out today, ran here and its been only 50 seconds since its release.
I can't believe that for the first time in history I'll be home when the update comes out
I hope you like it !!
Reread the story to get a refresher for tomorrow and realized that fashionably professional might not be available so seeing I still have it from my earlier save makes it feel like I got a limited time clothing choice. :)
Haha yeah, sorry about that! I revised some of the clothing categories a while back and I didn't realize I made a cut, whoops. But hey, you're one of the special ones now :)
Such an amazing game. So excited for the future of it and so happy from what I have already read. You should be proud. :]
Aw thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)
I am literally obsessed. Rylan makes me blush and giggle and kick my feet in the air.
As they should!
I just realized how tall the characters are, it's funny when i imagine my short (probably around 5'1 - 5'2) PC/MC standing next to Blane 😂
Hello great game so far on my second run but now noticing something. There is a typo
Thank you! I'll have it fixed for Friday's update :)
can you add more gender neutral clothing options? i know they say that any gender can wear any color but i feel like the masculine clothes are very femboy like
I think you can choose to dress in whatever you want no matter your gender, maybe i misunderstood your comment tho
I can definitely revise them! Any changes will be reflected by Friday's update :)
*HITS THE FOLLOW BUTTON WITH VIGOR*
After maybe almost a year i realized this is written in first pov (I.... My hair....), and honestly? i love it. I've read so many ifs which where written in second pov which I like but there's just something about it that I don't like 🤷♀️ (yes i suck at explaining), tho the ifs are still good i personally like first pov a lot more, why? Well idk
...and that's all just wanted to point it out and say my thoughts because i gotta tell it to someone

Weirdly I'm the exact opposite, usually hate first person if's and this is the exception.
This is everything I've wanted

NEVERMIND I HAD A SAVE OMG I ALMOST DIED
I play some games on cog demos and let me tell you when i couldn't save anymore o deleted my history (now the saves are working again) And i lost all of the saves on this game

About 15-16
