Ultimately, this is story about romance and/or friendship, and that's what I'm interested in writing.  That's why you have to choose a route and decide whether you want to befriend or romance the character—that's is the design and the purpose of the story. If this isn't you cup of tea, then it's best to read something else. There are many stories, and I'm sure you'll find something you'll like. I'm satisfied with how the story is written—it's exactly as I wanted it to be. I'm not trying to write everything that is possible to write or make a story for everyone, so I won't be changing anything. 

The story has to go in a specific direction because I have a plot in mind and I can't let the main character wander willy-nilly. I need them to take particular steps to get to a specific point, which is why the MC has to do plenty of things that you as a reader might disagree with or dislike. They're not a self-insert either; they're their own character, with their priorities, fears, desires, etc., which affect how they act. 

There will be choices that impact how their story progresses. I agree that so far they've been limited—and I'm fine with that. I already have to keep in mind a lot of things because I'm writing five different routes alongside the main story—and it'll become more complicated once the readers make a very important choice in Chapter 7, which will change the flavor of relationships and endings tremendously. Adding more choices that would add more branches that lead nowhere is not one of my goals for this project, especially considering this is my first IF and I don't want to make my job harder than necessary by biting more than I can chew. 

About two choices to decide your route—that was purposeful. It's a system I prefer when I'm playing other games/stories, so I wrote it like this. 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💛 I appreciate you taking your time to read my story and write a comment. I don't intend to change your mind on anything or influence how you view TAS. Just wanted to reply to some things you wrote :)

Thank you! I hope you recover soon too 💛 

Maybe in April, but that's a very tentative date. The chapter is quite big due to all the routes, so even though I'm pushing 50K words, I'm only barely reaching the middle of the chapter's plan. But there's a lot of tasty things happening, so I hope it'll be worth the wait for you 💛 

I'm excited too! 💛 

Lol yeah, it feels like winter has been around forever. I want spring 🫠 

Aw, thank you 💛 🥺

💛

🥰

Omg!! Thank you 🥹💛 I'm very happy to hear that
The update is being worked on every day 💪

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥺💛 I'm glad you're enjoying the story and the routes!

I'm happy you like them so much!💛 You got their dynamic right. But don't worry; the Oracle will be here to uplift them too 🫶

I'm working on it!💪Glad you're waiting for them 🫶

That's the way to go, I think (snubbing the nobles). That's how I always get that option at least.

I'm glad you liked them! Hope you enjoy the new year snippets too 💛

Happy late New Year! This month TAS turns one year, so I'll publish new year stories with all the LIs :)

I'm glad you're enjoying the story and would even play through the other routes! Thank you for your kind words 💛💛

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the story 💛 💛 

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your thoughts!! 🥹💛 The Oracle is slightly paranoid, so I'm glad that it reads properly. They'll eventually gather the courage to hold on to someone.

I'm glad you like them!! 💛

Thank you! 💛 

You're right. If a demon doesn't live under a rock, they definitely have heard about the Oracle and their rare form. It's not a rumor but a well-known fact. 

Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed the story 💛

1. Sanity affects flavor text. It'll change some scenes, but it won't lock you out of anything. 

2. If a scene needs it, then yes, there will be different choices depending on your full form.

3. a) The full forms aren't a secret, and they're written down for legal purposes. A random demon doesn't know your form unless it's very rare (like with the Swarm; the Oracle is the only demon with this form atm), but the government definitely does.

b) Demons don't have marks from their full form unless they half-change. Even if a demon half-changes and they have scales, it doesn't necessarily mean they're a satrix :) There are many creatures with scales in the underworld.

c) Allowed, but everything else depends on the form you have. I have a more detailed answer here.

d) You're correct. That's what it means. Az half-changes (a tiny change, but still) in the last chapter. The Oracle already knows how to do it; if their full form allows it, they can and will half-change. 

4. a) When the right moment arises, yes, you'll be able to choose your main weapon.

b) There's magic that everyone knows or can learn, and there's magic related to full demonic forms. I'll speak more about it in the story eventually.

c) I'm outlining a scene with hobbies for the next chapter, and I can say yes, you'll be able to sing with Az! :)

d) Yes, eventually. The Oracle will see everyone's forms at some point.

e) Everyone deals with sanity. It's something demons inherited from their ancestors (the abyssal monsters).

f) The height is decided during the scene at the ball (it's a cycling choice in the text). Someone already asked me about this, so I'll definitely add these details to the profile with the next update.

You don't need to apologize for asking questions. Hope the answers are useful for you! If you want to know something else, don't hesitate to ask.

Aw, another Az lover! 💛 No comments on their form, you'll learn the truth eventually 👀

Now I understand what you meant. I'll keep that in mind for the future edits. 

Thank you! 

Thank you for taking your time to write this! I agree that some sentences could've been written better. English isn't my first language, so I'm def lacking in fluency. Sorry for that.

As for Az and the Oracle moment, Az is just like that, arrogant, loudmouth, talking themselves up all the time. They were purposefully obnoxious, as they often are, and I thought it was obvious enough (or will be obvious once you catch them in a different setting). Maybe not. The Oracle just woke up + doesn't care, so they ignore all the empty words and focus on the info their brain can process. I might add more clarification there eventually.

>Have you ever gone up to someone and dropped a line like:
I haven't, but Az absolutely would and did.

>is a bit awkward, because normally someone wouldn't just compliment themselves like that without playing it off as a comedic thing
Az does it semi-seriously because they are arrogant & to put others off, but it doesn't work on the MC. The MC's lack of reaction was a way to show that.

I'd revise the earlier chapters and probably rewrite a lot of things, but I want to focus on writing forward, so I'm reluctant to reread the earlier chapters because I won't be able to stop myself from editing, lol. I'll save your notes for the future use when I sit to edit the whole thing from the beginning!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. 💛 You have an interesting theory, but yeah, there's a small hint at their form already hehe You'll eventually learn the answer! 

You can always gain sanity back if you make the right choices (or lower it even more, lol), and there's a maximum and a minimum sanity value you can get at this point, so I wouldn't worry about it yet.

That's spoilers, I'm afraid! I can only say that there will be some romance happening just like in the normal path, but the flavor will be different ;)

Thank you!! I appreciate you saying that 🥺💛 Yeahhh, some of them are more forgiving or have reasons to ignore the more questionable things the Oracle does 👀 for now

Az is the type to "you've done nothing wrong and I love you"😂 I'm glad you like them so! 

Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy you're enjoying the story and the routes 💛 You're absolutely right about Laz hehe
