Was really looking forward to playing this VN...But now after learning of what you did....not so much
I get that you feel terrible and awful, and I do appreciate this. However, grooming minors is a very easy thing to not do in the first place. It's like commiting r*pe. You can control your actions and not hurt anybody in the process.
Anyways, I wish you luck with your project, and be sure not to do that shit again ✌️
I understand, thank you.
The spicy content sneak peek I saw on X has me on my edge while waiting lol, I'm really excited to get to that part ^-^
Will this be choice based (like choices matter and lead to differing results) or be a 3rd person pov sort of thing. Just curious 🤔
There will be eventually big decisions that you'll have to make that changes the ending, but right now the game should note what attitude you've shown to Ran, likely for some intimate scenes in the future.
I was finally able to start readin... and let me tell you, have you ever eat a food that you never eaten before and the taste turns out to be the most delightful and amazing you ever had? That was my experience. The writing is amazing, the art is fantastic and it feels fresh, from the very start.
Rangativurk (a difficult but really pretty name, I must add) is very different from the other main characters I've seen, and I must say, he has the sharpest way to call the mc dumb without losing decorum, it's facinating.
(ok, so spoilers ahead)...

and I must say, the moment we got to see Rangativurk appear, as of thin air, I immediately think: wait, was he Isekaied? I must say, I did not believed I was right. Quite surprising.
It was amazing to get to know more of him, and more of where he came from. I do hope he will Ran will get the same curiosity about Eizo (aka the MC) someday.
Thank you so much for creating this, I hope to see more soon.
So far so good. The starting point is decent. The prideful personality of the wolf is achieved. However, the magic system can be further defined or at least that's what I think. I'm looking forward to reading the upcoming chapters!
On the technical stuff, since I use an android, I did not encounter any problems so far.
What a promising start! I can't wait for the next updates!
I love it! And thank you so much for android version!!
Android is out lets go 🔥✌🏻
hey, what should i do if the game just starts and never shows any image, just a black screen?
should i try reinstalling?
Please try to follow the instructions here
Is there a place I can see the lore of the game? Like, the many names of the towns, the three religious armies, and more.
Would most stuff be in the Lexicon?
That is an interesting question.
It is very rare, but we got poor reviews thinking that the lexicon is an inadequate way to convey info even when it is optional read, and that is not very rewarding.
Unfortunately, tangentially related things like towns or the armies probably won't be mentioned in the plot until needed.
Yo, it'd be sick if you could add like a built-in journal or something so we can do more world-building and learn more about the characters.
P.S. I haven't read it yet, so let me know if it's already there or if I'm misunderstanding something.
столкнулся с проблемой что при запуске просто чёрный экран.
Please try to follow the fix here.
Thank you. I just haven't figured out the site yet to find a solution on my own. Everything works fine.
Is there going to be an Android?
Yes but probably in a month or so.
Can't wait for the following updates to this novel. Good and effective background music that is paired with great imagery, story AND characters. Couldn't ask for me 🫠
Will there be NSFW content in the future? xD
Probably.
Will this game have Chinese in the future?
We need talented individual(s) to translate the script, and then a fluent reader to confirm its quality, and our project is currently too small to reliably make that work.
In the future, maybe.
Hello！I'm coming to ask if I can translate your work into Chinese.It will not be used for commercial purposes.Just to share your fantastic work with more furry-loving people.I'm looking forward to getting a reply from you whether you permit it or not.PLEASE！ ヽ(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ
That we need to discuss privately over Discord (or other means).
OK,I have sent friend request to you!
Like the story, hope you don't drop it
Man Is so tragic n a tear jerker, nGood at the same time. I want them to be a slow burn Soo bad 😩
Is anyone else just getting a black screen on startup? I can hear music but nothing else is appearing
Nevermind, didnt see that fix, its working just fine now (under closed beta build 0.1.4 - ShaderError 'fixes' if this is happening to you)
Pls i need mobile ver
We got a LOT of android support requests, so be rest assured that we will look into it in 1-2 months. It will be at the top priority after the making of the script. We have to redesign certain windows and functionalities, so please give us some time.
yooo when getting to the part where he says "why? what do i want" at the tavern.. this Pops up, alrd tried closing the game n opening it again and i even tried spammed the ignore lmao
ive backread some of yer fixes at the devlog, i think it might be related to it, or just a Device prob on my part (its fairly old ngl)
Eu gostei, foi divertido. A Arte é boa e a história é interessante o suficiente. Aguardo próximos capítulos!
good art okay story
It is just the beggining, after all. Please look forward to the next entries!
I feel people forgot self insert protagonists are a thing after all the recent vns with defined protagonists.. I liked the vn btw, wolf is a bit of an ass but i'm sure we can fix him lol. Just a bit off putting at the start
Not sure where the story is going exactly. The power systems are not very clearly defined so i can just assume realm magic is probably world pinnacle stuff.. Which would imply they need to adventure until they both (or at least the wolf) get strong or rich enough to negotiate with the world's best mage.
It's like something in the middle of the story is missing.. they're just gonna do random jobs? Will the mc train or is he just gonna carry the wolf's bags and look pretty?
Will see next chapter maybe. Just trying to put my thoughts out loud. You don't have to answer any of these to me here btw, i'm not looking for spoilers, I can wait for the new chapters to read it, gl!
Next chapter should hopefully address some of that, but of course we won't be posting spoilers out this early. We appreciate your comment!
Well, I've been seeing this VN for a while, I'm thinking about a comment, since it's only the beginning, I already find the environment, the characters, the scenario a magical world, the story itself everything it's really magnificent and incredible, besides we're not going to talk about the imbecile or unbearable character of the prince who thinks he's entitled to anything, at this level I have nothing to add,
Question :
I had a question at (MC) level, what does MC look like that I didn't really understand in the comments below,
Have a question about the unique route/story? :
My question is simple: are there routes such as who we date, things like that for example, or is the story unique and unfolding and we don't need to choose what to do?
Bug:
I didn't find
The last word it remains a very good VN with its own style its own story like all the other VN with unbearable passages and funny sad moments, if I had a rating to give I think it deserves between 4 and 5 stars but I'm going to give it 5 stars, maybe I'll change it in the future but I think it deserves 7 stars
Thank you for the kind words! The MC seems to be a common question, so we'll answer that with more depth here.
Very good I see thank you very much for answering me in any case one thing is certain I think that half of the players are used to seeing the MC in most of the other VNs
It's good and refreshing that there’s options for the MC to be on the same personality level as the prince since the wolf prince is a royal jerk to the protagonist.
The story's fine so far and so does the art. I'm interested in seeing what happens next.
Will there be an android version soon?
We will be looking into it in 1-2 months.
Great! This vn looks really nice , Cant wait to read it!
🐺
Honestly the perfect story, even if it's only the beginning, the character ok, there were no bugs on my side frankly even if there were bugs or not it was impeccable so I will give a rating of 5 that's all, well it's done, I can't wait to see what happens next
Thank you!
no problem, I just had a question, what does the MC look like?
It is intended that you can imagine what the MC looks like based on your preferences.
well, I guess it's a hybrid, so Wolf-Dragon maybe?
I'm getting only a black screen when I open it
This should help!
