I'm not sure how visible it is in the title, but there's spoilers ahead for ADW: A Villain's Heart! (Or maybe it really isn't a spoiler, it's just to be safe) 

Just a heads-up, this isn't anything spectacular xD it's just a funny experience I had and I thought, why not? Let's share it! I hope I can do this lol

For context, before I played Arcane Dice Wars, I played ADW: A Villain's Heart, first. I was basically just scrolling through itch to try out a new visual novel (because I enjoy playing them so much :D) and came across ADW: A Villain's Heart; which wasn't too long ago, I'd say! I was diving right in, without knowing that Arcane Dice Wars also existed. As I progressed through the plot, I have grown fond of our best boy and servant- Water Mage (later revealed to be Lor) I seriously just looked at the screen and said "Water Mage, if I could, I would pick to romance you... You're the best :')" <-- and yes, I was blissfully unaware that he, indeed, IS romanceable in the other game xD poor past me had nooo idea. 

Later when he revealed himself to not be just Random NPC #12 (I still would've loved him, though) and that his name was Lor, but he turned into my enemy, (even though he didn't want to) I was heartbroken @_@.

Then.. the moment of truth, one odd month later I decided to scroll through Itch once again and what do I find? Arcane Dice Wars, and a veeery familiar figure on the thumbnail. I looked at it and gasped "Is that Lor?! Oh my god, it is Lor." Without hesitation I clicked on it and read the description and everything. When I saw that Lor was romanceable I got SO excited you have no idea ;n; I immediately went to tell my friends how much I loved Lor in the previous game and was sad over not being able to romance him, but that it is now possible :'D I was very happy! Even though I came for Lor, I stayed for everything in the game, I love the other characters so much, too. ^^ 

Yeah, that's the story! It was just that but it's seriously hilarious to me XD I also learned my lesson to check out the profiles of game creators to look at other games they made ;; 

Hiii ı saw your post and ı noticed ıts about Lor... well as an another Lor fan ı couldnt help but jump in ^^ we actually talked a little in voting post too! hehe :3

firstly wow you actually started with side game liked a side character and BAM you see him in an another game as AN MAİN CHARACTER WOHOOOO ım sure that was amazing! congrats for fidnign the gameee ^^ ım also soo happy welcome to Lor's fan club haha XD

I actually started to play ADW first after the 2024 updates.. (ı once or twice saw this game's old version but ı guess the time never felt right so ı coudlnt looked into it)   later ı finally finished mission 4 and learned about Lor ı saw already lobing him alot but his lack of self love or courage was upsetting me. While waiting for next updates ı realized there is actually villain story! hoping to maybe seeing Lor or at least getting to know the world better ı immediately downloaded and started to play (well ı wont write about my experiences here since ı already stated them in comment section of that game but in general ıt was pretty dark and me doing everything to turn things better only to fail and had to fight was sad... ık ım perhaps being way too soft or acting like a baby but since ı usually see games as a way to escape reality ı tend to wish seeing happy things or at least managing to get happy end ahhh ı wrote to much again ) ahem... anyway XD where was ı? oh right ı started to play side game and well Lor was there!!! he became my servant!!! and ı was soo happy to see him but since he was a side character here ı wasnt be able to talk to him much like in main game but ı was again suprised by how caring he was like XDD preparing me every single day or even trimming my nails like WOW ı still have no idea how he can do all of this.. ı mean ıdkkk how can he does literally everything without expecting anything in return?? ;-;

and!! there WAS a scene ı actually screamed maybe you would remember too like there was a time when Deita asked us about how we find ''water mage'' and ı cant remember about what options said but ı remember once ı picked ''he is fine'' or something oy started to blush furiously and shrink in his coat AAAAAAAAAAAAA ;W; sooo cuteeeeee how can someone be this cute but also like taking care of us so well! 

actually ım confused by few things so ı wonder ıf you feel the same but sometimes ı feel like because of how Lor acts ı tend to forget how powerfully he actually is like he was  a HEADMAGE in the tower and ı doubt only using that ... well whatever the trick hides his unstable water magic would work alone to make him headmage in huge tower... ı mean ım %100 sure there must be certain level of wisdom and power someone must have to reach that point or at least he is an elite so ofc he is strong in certain point but the way acts makes him soo softer and ıdkk makes him look easy??? ı dont mean anything but ıt kinda remind me of like some strong guardian dogs which are super sweet to people they are close with but can be really dangerous to stangers (ahem.. ı definitely didnt imagine him having fullfy dog ears..) yet we didnt see that side of Lor. (ıf ım right then ım also curious but ı also dont wanna see him mad :/) anyway what do you think about it ^^?


secondly ! I KNOW I AM A HUGE OVERTHİNKER and ı love getting people's opinions about such things and ı think ı already did talk alot in update posts haha XD but ı will also ask for you opinion because none of my friends play this game ;-;. Sometimes ı cant feel but Lor is actually pretty unstable character and today whie ı was trying to get his bonding conversations (ım talking about the final destination one the solwel mountains ıf you didnt go there or finished to bonding chain of Lor then İMMEDİATELY SKİP HERE AND CHECK İT IF YOU DONT WANNA GET SPOİLED PLSS )

and in the mountain he started to talk about how he felt uncomfortable with his magic or like how he couldnt find any kind of solution until he meets transient one and then once ı picked ''what will happen to you when ım gone?'' he said without being sure the ''Lor'' we know will be retire again... so  ıdkkk ım so confused ı also saw in side game  what happaened to him ıf ı side with crown he... goes mad and ıdk ıts so sad but nothing is clicking inside of my head now ;-; like ı know he is unstable and ı know he kind of has ''two different sides'' which ı mean one of them is ''water mage'' while other one is ''Lor'' but he is also just himself and only thing that matter in these two ''personalities'' that whetever he suprass himself or not.... or so ı thought but what he says is soo different from what ı thought he says transient one changed him and well like he finally felt so harmonious and felt comfortable in his skin and ı was like ''what? wasnt it just  lack of courage??'' but once ı also returned and clicked ''you just needed encouregment'' he said ım too humble and he is aware of what changed in him once he met transient one...well at least oen good news he said transient one's ''aura'' is part of it but he didnt say what changed him was entirely aura so yea we hepled him too yyyaaaaay (ıdk how tho)

END OF THE SPOİLERS

anyway ı know ım a queen of writing TOO MUCH and ı hope you endured them well ı sometimes feel ashamed of myself writing huge paragraphs whenever ı get to chance (like in post updates and ı even have my own post here ı immediately wrote that after playing the game first time XD) but ı really like talkign about my favorite gams or characters and seeing you also like Lor ı hoped to discuss few of my thinkings without jumping into sudden ideas ı hope ı didnt tire you with all these and thank you so much for reading these you have to reply to me but ı would be sooo happy ıf you would have a very nice day and ı hope we both enjoy new otome jam that has Lor in it ^^ !
