Welcome!

Hi, thanks for checking this out! I’ve been filling it up slowly, so if you have any questions, please ask! (Nsfw are fine too, if I feel uncomfortable I’ll let you know c: )

While most of you probably came from COG, here’s the demo link just in case: https://dashingdon.com/go/6590

Still alive~!

Hiya guys! Thank you for continuously checking in on me and leaving sweet notes along with the continued interest in hollowmoonvalley (*´∀`*) I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping up with this- unfortunately my full time job has been draining what little energy I have ahahha (人ﾟ∀ﾟ) While I don’t regret my career, it’s certainly taking a lot of time to adjust (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

I hope that as I continue to adjust, I can spend more time on here (*´∀`*) As always, thank you all for being so patient even despite the year(?) hiatus and letting me take care of myself first. I hope you all continue to take care of yourselves, and stay safe ❤️

i just wanted to drop in and let you know that hollow moon valley is like my comfort game and i really appreciate all that you’ve done for us in writing it ><

Hello anon! Thank you too, for still sticking with it despite the roadblock I've hit! (づ ◕‿◕ )づ I appreciate all the sweet check-in messages some one/people have been sending in regularly, even though I'm not here too often!

I hope to soon have more time to give this more time and attention- unfortunately it has been difficult with work, so things are still on hold. But thank you all for still staying (シ_ _ )シ

I haven't given up on this! ٩(⊙‿⊙)۶

Still alive~! ✨✨

Happy new year, everyone!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

I hope everyone had a great start to the new year so far, and that the holidays was festive (or at least relaxing). Sadly covid still continues to plague us, so best of wishes to everyone, and my condolences to those who have suffered from it. (ʃƪ˘･ᴗ･˘)

As for Hollowmoon Valley, it’s not dead! Unfortunately though, it has been a slow work in progress as real life is quite demanding. As happy and thrilled I am to be working as a nurse, there are a lot of challenges and difficulties that have been taking it’s toll.(Ｔ▽Ｔ) So my apologies on not being able to focus as much on Hollowmoon, but I am still working on it when I have the time and spirit !!! ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶ I don’t want to give false hope by giving a date for an update, as I missed the last one by a landslide ahahah. Next update though will be a new chapter, along with the improvements I mentioned last time!

Thank you for all the support, time, and interest you guys continue to give- I’m astounded that people are still sending in things to my inbox despite the continued hiatus (人´∀`*）

TL;DR

Real life is busy, thank you for understanding! Next update is ??? but will be a new chapter along with the previously mentioned improvements. Thank you for all your support, and happy new year! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Will you doing a update for Halloween?

Probably not, I'm sorry anon （◞‸◟）I'm still really busy working on fixing it up, but thank you for showing interest! It gives me encouragement (´ε｀ )♡

Adding onto that Noah anon as a different anon entirely. I ran into that same thing with another game and it reminded me of how I used to date someone with my same name and when asked when we were getting married, one of our friends looked at the other and said they'd both be (obviously not inserting our actual names) "John Doe".

LOL I would've loved to see the wedding invites- I'm sure that they would make people double take (˃̣̣̥▽˂̣̣̥)

just started your story after seeing it on a rec list here, and i gotta say, checking my stats at the beginning of the game and seeing "skills: trauma, 50%" gave me a good laugh. lil' too relatable right there.

also, a question about the picrew refs you made -- would you mind listing who is who? i had them up while i was playing but got confused when polly was introduced, as she's described as having "caramel skin" but the only picrew portrait with grey eyes and long brown hair has paper-white skin.

Oh, my bad! Yuppers, I can go back to edit it ( ´ ∀ `)~! Actually for Polly’s and Chevy’s, I messed up on the eye color- I forgot to change it back after doing Noah’s lol I’ll correct it in a bit, thanks for pointing it out!

-edit: I think the creator changed some of the options for the picrew, so I can’t remake them exactly whoops lol (ノ_<。)

dragon lady anon here, glad to hear it's an intentional story element that you're consciously utilizing! definitely interested to see how you're gonna... twist? deconstruct? that trope as the story goes on. i'm just a lil extra sensitive about that stuff cause i've seen *way* too many well-meaning (white) authors write ros of color that are full of crappy stereotypes and hypersexualized exotification

Hi again anon! Thank you, I hope it meets your expectations \(;´◡`)/ And no worries, I understand that things like this can be a touchy and sensitive subject, so I appreciate your well-meaning candor in discussing it.

I do appreciate feedback like this, especially since I am writing and referencing on some cultures that I'm not familiar with culture. While for some I have friends that I can ask, others I can only rely on research.

Though in this case, I hadn't known that there was a negative connotation to the 'dragon lady' stereotype. My friend is what I would call a dragon lady, but I personally admire her for it- especially since I'm the opposite of her, even though we're both Japanese ahahahaha ( ´ ∀ ` ;)

Hello! I was wondering if we find any bugs if we should report them here? Or if there was someone else to do so. Have a good day! 💜👋🏻

Yes please~! Some people do it through here, some people DM me, either works thank you :D

hey uh idk your cultural/ethnic background but if you're not familiar with the "dragon lady" stereotype i really recommend looking it up... i only just started your story but satomi's personality in combination with being japanese but wearing chinese clothes is kinda 😬 i saw that you addressed the clothes things in a ask, but it's important to keep in mind that it's REALLY common for racist western media to portray east asian cultures as monolithic/interchangeable in ways exactly like this. also this might just be location-specific, but where i'm from the terms "oriental" and "orientalism" are heavily associated with the racist and/or fetishizing attitudes toward asian people + cultures (middle east included) popular in the 18th + 19th centuries. i'm sure you're not intentionally reproducing these stereotypes, but they can be insensitive despite good intentions ❤️ just something to keep in mind

O neat! Thanks for pointing that out- that was what I was going for, but I couldn't remember the term for it! Personally I wasn't aware that it had a more negative connotation/derogatory (according to wiki), but yes my intentions with Satomi was to use that stereotype ( ´ ∀ ` ) Though I do not have her wear the different clothing believing that they're all from the same places (i.e kimonos = cheongsam = ruean ton)

I hope to better use it/go more into depth with it as the game goes on, but I do apologize if people find it distasteful/offense/etc. My intention wasn't to use it as an accurate representation of or to insult 日本人 or other Asians. Will I change it/take it out? No, probably not (unless I get bullied enough lol), so unfortunately if it is too offensive then thank you for the time you took to play. And for leaving this respectful and thoughtful feedback! ♡( ◡‿◡ ) I will though definitely keep this in mind, and now that I know the term for it, I can do more research into it~＼(￣▽￣)／So thanks for that too!

I'm always named my MC Noah when I played interactive games so imagine my surprise when I see another Noah in the story I'm basically like "😮 You have the same name as my MC! You can have only one Noah in the story but since you're cute and definitely my type so for you I'm willing to change my MC name 😌"

Aw! While it might get confusing, Noah can share the spotlight with another Noah ╰(▔∀▔)╯ (he do appreciate it though~)

Good morning or Good evening to ya dear author! Just curious how would the RO's react to if usually quiet MC laughs for the first time? Anyways have a great day!

Good day dear anon! Thank you, and I hope you have a great day too!

Ase: Startled, a half-smile of dazed amazement on his face. He unintentionally goes silent, just gazing at Mc.

Chevy: Her eyebrows raise high in surprise, but her expression quickly gives way to warm fondness.

Isa: Tilts head quizzically. A subtle, tiny smile stays on his face for most of the day.

Noah: Excited, tries to figure out how to make Mc laugh again- not afraid to make a fool of himself.

Polly: Sparkles in her eyes, she starts to coo over Mc. Tries not to make a big deal of it (to avoid embarrassing Mc) but fails miserably at it.

Satomi: A pleased smirk, “I wonder what other sounds that pretty mouth can make.”

Extra-

Mira: Wondrous, unable to take their eyes off of Mc. Its unsure if they’re waiting for something, or have some other intention.

So I wanna make sure you know I'm not criticizing you or your game or anything, I really like it but there's something that gave me pause.

I get it, I understand that Chevys cares about her sister very much, wants to protect her etc but honestly they come off a little as lovers. Chevy always being around Polly, watching her "with fond gaze", Chevy holding Polly in her lap (which already makes it a little weird for me), resting her head in Polly's hair (???). Like, it comes off as if they were lovers. Either that, or Chevy's very, very clingy (or has mommy issues). And I'm not saying that's wrong or anything. Her love language could be physical touch as well (whether platonic or romantic) but all in all it really looks to me a little like incest (?). Idk, as I said this isn't hate, just wanted to let you know!

Oh, I didn't notice that! Thank you for sharing this- I can def see it now that you've pointed it out. I can change it if it's uncomfortable for readers (I'm uncomfortable with incest as well), but I will confirm that they're not lovers. The physical affection is one of the ways how Chevy shows her affection. ( ´ ∀ ` )~

(ps thank you also for being so respectful- I appreciate the effort! (´ε｀ )♡ )

Hi just wanted to ask how are you doing?

Doing fantastic, thank you anon~! (´ε｀ )♡

..... sounds a bit weird but now i wanna show off my nest lol

No promises that it'll be an option in game, but I like the idea of it being a way to cope 👀

How are you doing, m'dear? Are you kicking exam season in the butt? I understand from other members of my family that becoming an RN is really tough, and time consuming, but anyone with the gumption to try is a really awesome individual! So I'm cheering you on from the back, and hoping you, and everyone you care about are doing well! :D

Doing great, thank you~!!（ﾉ´∀`）♥♥♥♥

It has been tough, especially with covid ahaha. Thankfully my school was great- they really made sure that we were able to graduate and everything ( ´∀` ) Thank you for the appreciation of my hard work- I tend to normalize such really quickly, and take for granted that, so thank you for the reminder (〃´∀｀)

Why is Darcy so mean?

Darcy is a little shit
