since you said Maeve “got replaced”, does that mean we’ll have another character filling the “protector” role, or that the plot point itself got scrapped? Could it be that we are defenseless against Ikimi’s charms…

I see you caught that! LOL

Maeve, and several other characters, got replaced by two original characters that I made specifically for Dicentra Diaries. (Instead of using past ocs)

Chester and Vincent!

The "protector" plot point is now only relevant if you decide to befriend Vincent.

But don't worry, I'm not a fan of super defenseless and helpless M/Cs. So, if you wish, you can be completely immune to Ikimi's "charms."

Just be prepared for the consequences of ignoring Ikimi!

Hi, dear author!🥰 Just wanted to share for giggles some meme fiction-quotes that could relate to characters! Don't mind mentions of gender, just the situation is funny itself //hope//

MC romancing/befriending Zhan (i simp):

Poor Mack dealing with the news of his powers and meeting The Squad:

Sweet L in a nutshell:

Friend!Ashley is so wholesome&supportive!

My Beloved K right after the "kidnapping"

Lmao 🤣 that’s so cute and on point. I love it. Thanks for sharing 🥰

I was thinking about how Vincent and Ikimi fighting might go in story, and if it’s not spoilers, I’m curious- who’s overall physically stronger, and who’s the most skilled fighter? Would be fun to add Maeve and Isa to the mix too, make a leaderboard. I know it’s probably very much impossible plot wise, but the idea of Ikimi and Isa fighting over the same MC is funny to me…

Ooh! This is SUCH a fun question.

Who wins Vs. Ikimi?

Ikimi relies more on manipulation rather than physical strength. They very often avoid conflict with sly words and being in absolute control over the situation. I have to think about this in a way where they suddenly got into a physical altercation rather than a conflict leading up. Soooo that being said...

Ikimi Vs. Vincent = Tie (Situation dependant)

Ikimi Vs. Maeve = Maeve wins

Ikimi Vs. Isabella = Isabella wins

Who's overall physically stronger?

1. Maeve

2. Isabella

3. Malekimi

4. Vincent

5. Chester

6. Femkimi

There's a reason why Maeve is the strongest physically AND the most skilled. Not only does she work out constantly, but she's regularly in hand-to-hand combat! (She has her bruises and scars for a reason!) There's more to it AND her, but its spoilers :)

Isabella and Ikimi going after the same MC?

Additionally, If Ikimi and Isa fought over the same MC, Ikimi would win. Ikimi wouldn't win physically, but Isa is easily manipulated. They both would go to extreme lengths to ensure MC is theirs. MC may even be hurt physically, emotionally, and especially mentally in the process.

Hello dear author!!! Oh gawd i just saw the post on the cog from July!!! SPICY STUFF, NAMING ONE'S BODY PARTS- I- don't mind me running like a cheetah for ur patreon!!! <3

And 90% WE'RE SO CLOOOSEEE! Just wanted to say that your writing is impeccable and I really enjoy every dialogue with charas, they are precious AAND THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL I- -d e d- (((is there a tiny-whiny-little-bittle possibility to puppy eye you for a few facts about sequel?))))

(👁️w👁️) <- puppy eyeing respectfully

Btw, if u don't mind me asking, what criteria should one have, if one wishes to apply for the betta test? I mean, is it detailed review? Pointing out some lil typos? Sorry, couldn't find this info anywhere in the forum haha🥲

Hi Chester-Stargazer! Welcome back 🥰

I noticed when you got quiet and wanted to reach out but didn't want to overstep. I'm glad you're back posting again. It's always a pleasure reading your asks.

Haha yes, you can literally named your parts and they will be repeated in the game. I have fun naming mine Mango, cucumber and cherries lol, but be careful because the body parts for the RO will still be explicit so if you don't want that, make sure to take the first exit choice once you reach that situation haha.

Yes, so close to finish. Literally writing the endings. I just hope they won't branch too much as I want to be done by the end of the month. I will do a progress report soon. I changed and added some stuff that I need to update you guys about.

Please stop by the patreon anytime. I will update the link there this weekend 🥰

No requirement yet for the beta testers. I will know when I get there. I just want to finish the game for now and I can't wait to write the sequel too.

I have so many Ideas for the sequel. New friends and Ros, new arts. New plot twist. you get to move in with a friend or RO or by yourself, you get to have a pet or two... and also a little bit of drama because those characters you spend time with they have a past and their past will [redacted] lol.... Especially for M, K and A. So I will probably update you more when I have everything outlined.

Thanks for the ask. Stay safe.

"So, you want this to be over?"

"I didn't say that!" Chester snapped. "I just... I can't do the long-distance thing anymore... I want you to stay here because I can't travel with you... Not without you towing me around everywhere."

Chester felt something placed in his hair and immediately moved to touch it. It as soft, velvety almost. "What's this?" He asked, "What is it?"
