True there is no battle mechanic, I wish they can add one but eh, its his game so I don't mind about it, what actually interesting to me is that about the characters and how they interact to each other. By far the best vn game I ever played.
Yeh, but Hero's Advent didn't have initially one either, and last time I played it, it wasn't used much. Maybe this is something that will be added later but I'm perfectly fine even if it's not.
In the next update after 2 path has been updated, in chapter 2 are we gonna do like a little battle simulator in the forest if so is nice, and if not thats ok I will read it anyway:D (nice ending on the chapter 1, makes me giggle a little)
