I mean i just used straight up notepad. just make sure you know where to put your commas semicolons and whatnot. You shouldnt be putting in gold values in profile which may be the problem. That or it was a mixup with gold/money terms
I don't like doing it because it goes against the creator's intentions and I really do love the game. The way you do it(if on windows) is by going to the folder with your save in it. It is easiest to access it in game. You go to either your game profile, or the game save. In your case you want to go to your save. If you notice, your save numbers dont exactly match up with the numbers you see for each save in the save menu from the game. Save1 in the folder is Save2 in the game menu, so be careful. You go to the stat that you want to change, which will be the top set of stats(since there is like a set of 2 stats, the beginning and your current). You want to go to these first stats, and simply change the value you have.
I personally dislike this because the grinding is the fun part. I got myself all the way to level 111 so that i could have everything maxed and it was worth it for me. I got all of the scenes by discovering them myself. I got as close as possible to getting full game completion % by myself. It makes the game itself that much more enjoyable. The moment you start changing saves is when the game feels pointless because you yourself took the point out of the game. It made it fun. If you need gold or food, just kill the demon king. It is a repeatable fight.
there are none to my knowledge, because this community consists of lazy bum arounds. But I never had problems with editing Food, Gold, BaseStats, you just change the number in the line that is named accordingly.
I use QuickEdit on my phone, worked just fine. Just don't paste huge numbers in stats, you can make them 10 or 12, it will be enough. If your app is really the problem, try searching some text editors for programming.
