thank you for your feedback! and don't worry any criticism is welcome especially if it's respectful like yours, most of your feedback if not all of it stems from the fact i create the games the way i want them to (in a selfish way you could say), i write and create the dialogue and options according to whatever my brain wants to do at the moment, the result can vary in terms of how other players will experience the route, you're also not the first one to get frustrated with 004s route after playing 001, i did make Sir Knight harder on purpose, although he's supposed to be the 2nd hardest (404 < Angel < Sir Knight < The Clown), i know i probably should have done the angel first then but i really really wanted to make him lmao, i was in the 004 zone ✨
for the other feedback in terms of story i don't plan on changing anything since it'll all come together at the end (the fact that mc seems to always have some sort of connection to all of the monsters, but ill make a post about that on twitter at some point once I continue with the angel), your own proposals wouldn't fit canon 004 at all tbh (although you can headcanon whatever you want ofc), and I don't write my characters and stories according to what i believe would be most enjoyable to play through, but what i personally wanna see in the game, so future routes and games might still be frustrating in that regard especially because everyone has their own preferences, either way im always open for feedback or criticism because some feedback HAS changed how i go about things (feedback for my TWs for example hehe), and regardless of whether i change anything im always curious to hear what people feel after playing my games, good and bad
thank you ill kiss your liver <3
