I don't remember when I started reading this. A week ago? Two weeks ago? All I know is that the hours I've spent scanning pages upon pages of text are starting to make my eyes hurt. Yet I can't look away! I feel as if I have never read so much in my life, becoming invested in Crown Serin Xani's misadventures with her guards while navigating romance subplots (Ashti is bae and you can't convince me otherwise), family tree subplots, political maneuvering and the pages of history I'm going to review tomorrow. In fact I may or may not have jumped the gun slightly and downloaded Twine2 to see what I could pull off on my own (not much, but if I becomes a major game dev you can blame Cherry).
I love the fleshed out world I'm exploring while reading, the meticulous rules and conflicts, many of which are tucked away in the sidebar to read up on at one's own leisure. It could be safe to assume that the story is secretly an excuse for the setting (I've written many of those on my own, that's for sure). I also have this incredible feeling that where I am in the story is entirely unique, that if I had chosen some other option back in Chapter 1 or II I wouldn't be getting anything close to half the scenes I'm getting. How true that actually is is a mystery to me but I love the feeling that this is me who is in control.
I just can't praise this enough. I'm so glad I didn't write this off like I came scarily close to doing. This is so good. Keep up the amazing work!
