So, the way updates are working right now, it creates an entirely new html file each time the game is updated. This means saves will never transfer because the new html file is not aware of old saves. I don't personally know how to make it *not* do this, but there are plenty of examples so I do know it is possible.
This isn't too bad, but there were several problems with my playthrough. Keep in mind that this is just me speaking of my experience playing an MC the way I wanted/envisioned. I'm not saying all people will feel this way.
I chose to play as a cold male MC, and every stoic choice seems to boil down to 'say nothing, show no expression, and do nothing', which gets old and boring real fast. There is no ability to roleplay 'numbed by the traumatic experience yet harboring deep-seated feelings of hostility toward my family/the world'. And even if you choose the stoic choices the MC still acts like they have absolutely no agency over themselves; they're just 'tired and want to be left alone'. I want my MC to to have cultivated this cold, hard shell, not be completely defeated. Like we're talking, messed in the head to the point where they would murder their family in their sleep if he could, and most certainly will try for some pretty brutal revenge in future, if he can.
There is also no ability to note your interest in someone (like the prince) that fits a stoic character. Like you could be attracted to the prince despite yourself when you first meet him, and not understand what the feeling means, and so feel subconscious anger over the vulnerability. Yet neither of the 'flirt'/romance choices we get each time fit: being shy/flustered/stuttering (which my MC isn't) or actively flirting with him (which my MC definitely wouldn't). It would be nice if there was a more understated way to show my cold MC feels something for the annoyingly attractive prince, even if he really wishes he didn't.
I just found that coming from a position where my (technically, everyone's) MC has not felt any actual love or care since they were six years old, and even been outright mentally and physically abused, the game offers precious little choices that truly reflect how damaged the MC is.
Thank you for your feedback! This story is very much in the early stages, and I'm glad you made this post! I will definitely add more choices in the next update, with this in mind. This is my first interactive fiction story, so I'm still learning. But I do want you to be able to portray something like that! :) Thanks again.
I love how your portrait MC life and how differently they can react to anything, i can only hope the foreigner King will be nice to mc for a long time (the poor lad needs some softness in his life)
The characters are all so interesting and different! I can't wait to know more about them all, and maybe know about our older brother that we meet (the tiny one) he looked nice, perhaps they could be on our side?
Is a adorable game and i wish that you have fun writing it, because I'm totally addicted now, Royalty interactive games are just my type.
I'm really excited to see the next update!! The story and characters are already so interesting, I can't wait to learn more about them and seeing what happens :D
Reina call's me a daughter even tho I'm male, but good game so far.
"What? Are you going to kill me?" Her voice is fading as you go. "You take me from my sister to watch your daughter, and you kill me for giving her affection on her birthday." You're straining to listen now. "Burn in—"
Oh my heart goes out to the MC, such a sad way to grow up, it will be interesting to see where their story goes. Absolutely adore what's been written so far! I look forward to see more ^^

It was pretty fun exploring the new options!

I’m not very experienced, but I’ll attempt to find a way to prevent from saves being lost!

I'm liking it a lot I hope to see an update soon✨️💕
I can't wait for more of this incredible IF ✨. To wreak vengeance on the MC's family will be really fascinating.
But, I'm curious about what happened to Abrin :0..
Can't get passed searching for food after leaving room
Reina call's me a daughter even tho I'm male, but good game so far.
"What? Are you going to kill me?" Her voice is fading as you go. "You take me from my sister to watch your daughter, and you kill me for giving her affection on her birthday." You're straining to listen now. "Burn in—"
That was fixed! :)

I love this book! I'm so excited about the upcoming chapters. Awesome game. I really feel bad for the MC and fuck the K
Hello! Quick question, is romance optionable
wait nevermind, it probably isn't
Ah, no, romance is very central in this story.
Alr! Ty!
wow! i'm already into the story, i really like the characters presented so far, and how this fic works.. i shall keep my eye out!
I love all this story😭✨️
thank you, hehe
stuck on finding food with Abrin in the castle! There is no way to continue the story
I'll fix it, not to worry!
Yay!
Somehow can't get to chapter 1?
I believe that was fixed!
really fun play so far! just a suggestion: singular vs plural pronouns aren't differentiated on the selection screen ("they is a prince")
Ohhhh I love this!!
