I love the Story of this visual novel!, the art looking great!, very nice musics as well! Especially when Emil was presenting to us (as Asher) the project he had been working on finish, i love to keep replaying that music again and again!. Althou...to be honest...i would really like to see if there would be an option for our character not drinking, and to all other characters as well...bcuz personally...i like to play my character as just like what am i used to be In real life...well for some most of part at least. (that's why i choose Asher in first place, just didn't expect that he would drunk). i just like being myself, i don't drink. And i think maybe you could use some more simpler words, i don't have very wide vocabulary...so sometimes i need a google translate for it. And maybe just bit more straight forward for characters what they were referring to or implying here and there. But i think overall this Visual novel was very great! The emotional, style, past of each characters was different from one to another and some of them have deep emotional story telling time, it touching me. Like Emil, he was not what i was expecting, i had in my mind when i was looking at him from here the game download page store Itch.io. when he is telling story of his past....he blew my mind, changing my mindset, open my eyes. I should be more thoughtful bout those are like him, with their own good reasons too. I should stop misjudging them if i will ever met 1 in the future...he open my eyes. I like Emil more now after that i knew more bout him, he's brave and full of surprise. I wonder if we will have his route in the future..? I hope so. I give 5 rate star to this game, actually 6!, 1 plus extra by myself for Emil!. I'm looking forward updates from this Visual Novel!

Thank you! I'm so glad you stumbled upon this project. When I first created Emil, you were exactly the kind of person I wanted to reach with him. Your reaction to him was everything I could have hoped for. You have no idea how happy that makes me!
Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about your requests, however. Asher and Colby aren't self-insert characters, they are very much their own people and part of that is they will sometimes do or say things you might not. I understand it can be difficult to relate if they behave in a manner that is at complete odds with you, but drinking is already such an established thing with them that it can't be easily removed. Removing alcohol from the game entirely would also mean I'd have to remove Hugh, and that's not something I'd ever be willing to consider.
As for the language used, I can definitely sympathize with how difficult it must make it to read. Unfortunately, I have to make sure that it's enjoyable for my target demographic first and foremost. I've discussed this matter with my fellow VN creators and that seemed to be the consensus among them. On the bright side, while it may be tedious to have to look up words so frequently, you might learn a lot of new vocabulary in the process and your English may improve to the point where you don't have to look anything up anymore!
I hope these issues don't prove to be too much of a hurdle for you long-term, and that you can continue to stick with the VN. I apologize that I can't do more to accommodate you.
