Thank you so much for the very kind words. It brings me much joy that you are enjoying reading and rereading. I can't wait to bring you more to love. ^_^

Oh, my friend I am so glad you found that and appreciated it! I love little things like that in IFs, so I'm trying to remember to add them. I have a few things that I plan to go back and code more callbacks to as well. Sometimes when I get into the writing, those details slip from my mind. Thank you so much for your kind words, I hope GC continues to bring you joy as the journey pushes on. ^_^
You're an absolute joy, my dear, lol. I appreciate that you'd go to such hyperbolic levels to show your appreciation. Can definitively say it's a first for me, lol.
I appreciate that you see me being a genteel soul, and I can be, but I'm actually a goblin in a suit (no pants though, but I have a bowtie). The more you get to know me, the more you see the goblin. So don't be embarrassed, I quite like your way of things - you are terribly cool to me. ^_^
I so thoroughly enjoyed this comment, it was the absolute best thing to read before bed. [Lost my shit at the "(WHAT?? WHO SAID THAT??)"]
I had the most fun dreams after that, lol. I am so thrilled that you are loving the story and have a passion for the characters. Bunn is a fabulous name for our mule too! Her ears are especially long even among mule standards.
As for your question, I am not sure yet but I am thinking about it. I think I have a way to do a world-friendly toy that the characters can use for pegging. It could be limited to certain moments, but I'll see what I can do. I'd like those experiences to be as flexible as I can possibly get them. ^_^
I think we may be just from different semantics on that. For me, the 24th birthday is the start of the 24th year - the year you spend at age 24 might be a better way to phrase it. I can see it your way of course, it's just not from my frame of reference I guess. Like, I had my 37th b-day last month, that day marked the beginning of my 37 years walking this earth. It's almost like not counting the first 12 months of infancy honestly lol (like the counter starts at 0 and you build up to age 1 and so on). It's just the way I know it at least.
Hello my friend! I'll be on the lookout for errors here. The ages did change during editing for the first draft a very long time ago, so there may be something off about the wording in some places. I've provided some clarity below, but I'll be sure to proofread for continuity when I can. Thank you for the heads up! ^_^
At the conclusion of the Prologue and start of chapter 1, MC is only 5 years old (Lakota is 1 year older and Oswin nearly 4 years older but hasn't hit his 9th birthday just yet). After the first bout with the illness, there's a summary for the 3 years in-between that covers the rest of age 5 and on through age 8 (the incident in the barn happens during this time and is meant to be in the same year the MC is 8 years old). In that same year, before their 9th birthday, is when MC picks their favored skill/profession. After this there is another summed up few years that leads up to the 14th birthday - the "Name Day." During that summary there is mention of Lakota's name day, which occurs a year prior to the MC's, so the wording there may be confusing. Once the MC turns 14, there is a 10 year skip to jettison them into their next most important birthday. The MC is turning 24 the same day the mark appears, this would be the start of their 24th year. This is where most of the character creation is concluded and ends chapter 1 and bleeds into chapter 2.
That is correct, there are 4 "main" love interests and a 5th mystery man who hasn't been revealed yet.
No Love triangles or poly in this one, but you can flirt and such until you choose a love interest (or none) to lock into. Oswin and Duri are creating a lot of conflicts of late, so you're not alone there. ^_^
I am glad you love it! Duri was probably more an inspiration (though not a super-direct one) from (Yoko) Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho (though Kurama is a fox-demon and not a wolf). He's where the interest in magical-transforming/shifting beings first started (loooong time ago). Though, I have a soft spot for Inuyasha as well! The ears are irresistible! ^_^
I am so happy you are enjoying it so much! I totally know what you mean with the childhood transition. I've read several IFs where I am just like, please can we grow up now? LOL I just wanted to hit the highlights and build the necessary connections to others since I was eager to get to the meat of the story. And, of course, we'll have some flashbacks to childhood as we go along (especially with Oswin and remembering grandmother Ravinder). There's some fun twists and turns (and PAIN) in store for everyone, so I think you'll have much to look forward to! ^_^
Your list has brought a bit smile to me, my dear. I promise more wolfy-shenanigans to come soon.
As for #4 - the MC's agency and action being cruelly taken is serving as part of a building drama in the background. Some play their MCs as capable and take-charge, but the way this is working out for MC here is that they can't be that even if they want. This tension may lead an MC come apart in some way). But not to worry, we are building up to something good and your MC isn't going down without a fight.
For #5 - the mark will not influence MC's magical capabilities. It will add some flavor later in the story but overall it's mainly the physical appearance of the mark that is effected by your choice.
#6 - MC will make a trip home soon. For MCs that already wield weapons, they'll be able to hone what they have in their arsenal. For those who do not typically have weapons, they'll get a chance to learn one and take it with them.
#7 - no worries! I'm happy to answer as long as there's no spoilers. ^_^
Don't you worry, well - worry a little maybe - but you'll get a chance to show off those hands either way.
I totally get that. Sometimes you just wanna flirt around - it's fun! Especially when you get a rise out of the ROs, lol. I'm glad you enjoy that aspect, my dear. I really want to provide as much variety in the interactions as I'm capable of so the MC feels as real as you and me. ^_^
You're in luck, in chapter 6 (I anticipate with the current pacing) you'll get to throw those hands! Which also means your parents will be in danger, but ignore that for now.
Nathan is a menace, but he knows he can get away with it because he has that older-guy-handsomeness thing going for him, lol. ^_^
