What I am about to write is reserved for the development team of this game, as I'd like to share some ideas I have for expanding the game.
I send a greeting to the team of developers who wanted to read my feedback on the latest chapter released. I would like to tell you about some ideas that came to mind for this game.
Before we go any further, I would like to say that I am aware that my ideas may not be accepted. Sure, I have fantasies about other people's content ideas and what would happen if there were characters of my own invention, but in the end it may just remain that, a fantasy. That is why I would like to share my ideas, to try to contribute to the game and show off my creativity. I also understand another reason why ideas from people outside the development team aren't accepted: the more you add stuff, the harder it is to manage. I hope that Hopkeeper is a team that can manage all the ideas they have in mind and that they don't close everything in a hurry (like Goth season 8).
I had moments where I thought that this game would only have M/M relationships, but if the original idea of the game was that of a furry visual novel video game set in a village with Monster Hunter monsters, I thought that this type of video game could also interest a female audience, and not just male. So one idea I had in mind was that at the beginning of the game you can choose whether the Scriviner is male or female. Of course, this unfortunately could require more work, changes and unfortunately also perhaps distortions of the characters, but the final result could perhaps be beautiful.
I've been fantasizing about new characters that I'd like to have their own personal journey. I know this would require more work, but if you like the idea and the new characters it'll be worth it. Then if you want these new characters could also just make appearances, it's up to you. That said, here are the new characters I've fantasized about:
Gustav (Lagiacrus)
He is a globetrotter who was raised by an old lady, a human named Crystal, after she found him alone in the woods where he had been when his parents abandoned him. His mother is an Aptonoth, while his father is a Lagiacrus. The latter were being chased by Hunters and, to protect their son Gustav, they hid him in the middle of the woods promising to come back for him as soon as they can. Gustav was defenseless and it was in this condition that he was found and taken into custody by Crystal. The two grew up together in a small house in the middle of the woods with pagan beliefs and were very fond of each other, until the lady died of old age. Everything that happens to Gustav, he goes through it, no matter how dangerous it may be, if it is his destiny he goes through it without thinking. He is also a very naive guy, as he is often used by the villagers, but he puts a lot of effort into being a handyman. Gustav is also interested in finding a love interest and would like to find his parents one day.
In order to improve Gustav's love relationship you will have to try to have a strong bond with him and help him to give a contribution to the monster village, in this way you will help him to understand that it is not others who decide his fate, but Gustav himself.
Elise (Paolumu)
Elise is a cute and cuddly girl who is always out helping the villagers, whose father Hans, a True Wyverian with the appearance of a Diablos, also raised Sakura as if she were his daughter. Elise has a dream, that of becoming a fashion designer and designs clothes and accessories with the intent of creating them and wants to travel the world with the intent of seeing as many things as possible and finding sources of inspiration, to then open her own tailoring shop. Elise is also a romantic girl and wants a relationship with mutual feelings, without pretensions and the need to always have sex, as she fears the seven deadly sins. She lost her mother at a young age and because of this she took refuge in her own personal world made with her own imagination, but she managed to move on trying to be happy as her mother would have wanted and has her friends who comfort her.
In order to improve Elise's love relationship you will have to help her during the chores to help the village and start making her your friend first, you must not rush too much even though she has an attractive appearance. Little by little Elise will fall in love with you and it will be up to her to choose the right moment to start a relationship.
Claire (Pukei-Pukei)
Claire is a nun, although she is currently starting to lose her faith completely. She is a calm and quiet girl, who has a lot of wisdom and advice to give to the villagers. She is also able to communicate with wild monsters and understand their emotions. In the past, when she was a child, she lived in a small country house near a village with her mother, a human, and her father, a True Wyverian with the appearance of Pukei-Pukei. Their days passed peacefully, Claire helping her father pick apples, take eggs from the chickens and chop wood, while her mother went shopping in the town and sold the crops of their house. Claire's mother had a friend, who often came to their house to visit, keeping the secret. But one night everything changed. The ex-boyfriend of her mother's friend had not yet overcome the mourning and had followed her while he was drunk, ending up finding her at Claire's house and discovering of their existence. The man began to attack the girl, while Claire remained in a corner shaking in fear and her parents fought against the ex-boyfriend of her friend. Claire's mother hit the man with a frying pan, thus saving her friend, while Claire's father threw him out of the house. However, they noticed that the friends of the ex-boyfriend of her friend were waiting outside, watching the True Wyverian and ran away. The next day, in front of Claire's house there were some Hunters who wanted the monster that was inside the house. Claire's father understood that they were there for him, but fortunately he managed to make his wife and daughter escape by hiding them in a caravan, the two saw him being taken by the Hunters, his fate remains unknown to this day. Claire's mother was so shocked that she decided to retire to a convent, together with her daughter, to be able to live a life of peace. However, as time went by, Claire began to lose faith and become disillusioned with her mother, as she had become unstable, emotional and too fragile. So the True Wyverian left, leaving her mother at the church, and began to wander until she reached the monster village, where she was welcomed.
In order to improve Claire's love relationship, you will have to not underestimate her and not bring up religious topics, also because otherwise her mind will falter and she will end up becoming mentally unstable like her mother. You will have to comfort Claire in moments when she is in crisis and make her understand that she has already started to build a new life in the village and that it is up to her to decide how to shape her future.
Camilla (Tobi-Kadachi)
A spoiled, unpleasant, rude, undisciplined, capricious, immature, a little childish girl who also has some flaws.

The Felynes babysit and play with her, and the villagers try to tolerate her, though many of them are tempted to kick her, even though it is not a good idea to raise a hand to a girl, even according to the Elder. Many years ago, Camilla's mother, a True Wyverian in the form of a Tobi-Kadachi, was targeted by an Admiral of a Hunter's Guild when she was young. She begged for her life, and in exchange she would do whatever the Admiral asked.

Thanks to the Admiral's connections, the True Wyverian married a wealthy Hunter from another Guild, Sir Jerry. However, all that glitters is not gold. In fact, her husband was never at home and paid too much attention to the services of the imperial city, she felt out of place in a respectable society that did not belong to her and had lived a traumatic experience because of the Admiral, her only comfort was the birth of her daughter, Camilla. But the latter's life was not easy, her mother was depressed, desperate and mentally unstable, her father was very strict, sometimes abusive and always absent because he was in service at the Guild. For this reason, Camilla was diagnosed with schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder, in fact she had developed different personalities during her short life, it was short because she ended up in a coma that lasted 8 years.

Hiroka (Legiana)
A blind girl with a motherly nature, who wants to spend her life protecting the villagers. Hiroka is very calm, sensible, quiet, mature and independent, so much so that she exaggerates and oppresses others. When she spends time with someone else and that person distances herself she freaks out, then she calms down and says that she has to protect the others, the Elder has accepted her character. Even though Hiroka is blind, she wants to feel useful to the villagers and gets angry if others try to help her when she wants to help them. She is a protective figure who does not allow the other villagers to get hurt in any way, both psychologically and physically, and that is why Hiroka does not want those who are not mature enough to leave alone. She also does not want to go to places she does not know, in fact she knows the entire village by heart, because being blind she has to know the places by heart, if she goes to a place she does not know, it could be difficult for her too to protect the others.

The little girl, terrified, decided not to see anymore, decided to see only what she wanted to see, becoming blind to everything else and to the horrors of the world and to the truth.
In order to improve Hiroka's love relationship, you will have to stay in her company and get help from her, but in the moments when Hiroka is half sick and starts bumping into things because she is blind, do not try to help her and let her do everything. All this will help her understand that, even though she is not always present all the time, everyone has helped her to stand on her own two feet and to be more confident in herself and Hiroka will therefore feel useful.
Sakura (Mizutsune)
Sakura is a woman with a sweet and seraphic appearance, when in reality inside she is problematic, since she gets murderous instincts when she sees humans. She had tried to suppress feelings of hatred to live peacefully in the village of monsters. Her favorite weapon is a pair of scissors, which she always carries with her, hiding them under her clothes. Originally her parents were brutally killed by Hunters and she was adopted in a village where Riders lived, that is, people who live alongside monsters and fight together, and they took the child because they considered her useful. However, Sakura had always been the scapegoat of all the inhabitants and the monsters of the Riders, when someone made a mistake, the blame always fell on her. Sakura found comfort only with the monsters of the village, since they treated her as one of them. The frustration and anger that the girl had towards the humans of the village, who always used her only to be blamed for something and then forgotten, made her go mad and have a distorted view of the world in which all humans are evil and she ended up exterminating all the humans in her village, leaving the monsters free. She continued to wander aimlessly until she reached the village, where the Elder and the Felyne took care of her. One day, Sakura was seen by the villagers after she killed a group of Hunters who were about to attack her. The woman was not only treated well after everyone knew her story, but she was also feared, because she is actually the only one in the village who knows how to fight.
In order to improve Sakura's love relationship you will have to talk to her, always be kind to her and help her, in this way she will understand that not all humans are evil and she will understand that all the inhabitants of the monster village have never involved her in their mistakes, that everyone must take responsibility for their own sins and that she will not have to suffer anymore.
And these were the characters I fantasized about, I hope they at least attracted your sympathy. See you next time, goodbye.
