Hello, I just wanted to say that I really love your interactive novel. I've only recently developed a taste for this kind of storytelling, especially since big studios keep disappointing me.
At first, I was a bit unsure because I had never tried a text-only game without visuals. But your world is so rich and lively that I can't get enough. I would happily read multiple books with your beautiful writing.
I also love my Crown, easily one of my favorite characters. He's so effortlessly sassy, but also has a "dangerous" edge to him, if that makes sense.
Needless to say, I chose R as my romance option for my first playthrough (and I'll probably never pick another, since I tend to stick with my first choice 😭). After finishing, I read a few asks here and started wondering if polyamory will be mandatory?
Since my Crown is a bit of a self insert, he's monogamous, so poly wouldn't really work out for him. If R wants that, I don't see them working out in the end, which would be sad, lol. And as much as I love A, I'm not going to share. 🔫
Anyway, I hope you have a beautiful week!
Thank you for the kind message!! I really appreciate it, especially for trying it out. Being a text-only game can be an obstacle for some people so I'm glad the story was good enough to pull you in 💖
As for the polyamory: don't worry, absolutely NOT mandatory haha. It will just be an option with certain combinations of LIs. You will be able to select those routes at the end of CH4 if you qualify, but if you laser focus on 1 LI in the first chapters then they probably won't even pop up for you. In the game itself it's not something the LIs themselves will prompt or ask for either, it's going to have to be initiated entirely by the Crown and only after you've chosen a polyamorous route, so you won't have to worry about R suddenly coming up to you and being like hey can I date you and A at the same time in their solo route lol.
The polyamorous routes aren't a priority for me right now to begin with, I'm focusing on finishing the main game and the solo LI routes first!
