This is one of the best WIP IFs I have played thus far and it super scratches the itch I have for "hostile decadent royal court simulator" that's plagued me in recent times. I love how complex the characters are, particularly the parents, and I love how much we're given free rein to shape Mordred's personality.

I myself played him as an emotional, teary-eyed wreck who's nonetheless unfailingly sweet and genuinely kind whenever he can, but is nursing a festering resentment that is aggravated by both Morgana's words and his mistreatment at the hands of the court and Lot. He's also desperate for affection and falls in love way too easily with literally anyone who will give it to him. And I am so happy this IF allows me to play a character just as complex as the ones around him.

The writing was superb barring some spelling mistakes, and every character felt human - even the dragons. I did set my dragon as being fearsome and vicious (towards those who are not Mordred) and didn't feel like I saw enough of that, but I understand if that's impractical for the story. They're precious anyway.

Thank you for your hard work and I can't wait to see the rest of the (maybe ill-fated thanks to my actions) wedding!

This is amazing and probably my favorite IF I've consumed on Itch thus far. The characters are all well-written and insanely charismatic (to the point that it'd be fair to say my MC has a crush on every single one of them to differing degrees, save for maybe Fadiya), their art is of course gorgeous, and I adore the complex, angsty, tangled relationship between King Luceris and MC. Burning down his late wife's room was such a petty and pointless act of vengeance but it makes sense for an angry and deeply sad fifteen-year-old to do and he recognized that. It feels a little like Thorfinn and Askeladd's relationship from Vinland Saga (which is very high praise if you've seen that).

Vincent in The Chair was also just as memorable as the rest of the comment section implies. Its even worse because one of my MC's unhealthy coping mechanisms is excessive sexual activity so yeah... sorry Vincent...

So yeah. Delightful, complex characters, cool setting, great monologue and descriptive writing, amazing overall. Can't wait to see more!

Ridiculously charismatic characters, gorgeous art and lovely writing featuring delightfully tragic sibling angst. Every single character has charmed me and the plot synopsis only intrigues me more. I look forward to future updates! <3

Hi! This was a wonderful read and I can't wait to see what comes next. I love how much the narration is influenced by the Oracle's POV - the constant doubting, spiraling and self-loathing that bubbles up at the slightest trigger. Vez and Ash are so sweet and so genuine and yet my Oracle can't stop questioning their intentions, self-sabotaging, drawing themselves away for fear of hurt, that their touch will burn. I like POVs like this one and I love how it affects the relationships therein and I love how you've written it.

Kudos and best of luck with your further plans! <3
