Really love your games it's the best REALLY ALSO Love how you put some Sign Like save the game and many more luv it the story unique also some steamy scene are hawts dayum please keep on going.
You know it's been a while since I've actually read a hellish Journey but I keep hoping for more siegfried content I still wish he could be an option for Aki
I'll start this off by admiting I'm not exactly sure what I did to unlock Rua's cg6.
It is a game over CG during the swamp encounter, where you let rua's skull friend whose name I cant spell get shot (eknanovia?).
Again, I'm not exactly sure what I did to unlock it? But I belive it to be tied to one specific choice- After the swamp fight, you get a choice to either help ruaden back up, or just listen to him. Listening to him seems to be what triggers the game end (I guess since he didn't get up fast enough for red to notice the danger?)
drago has two scenes. sicne I don't know exactly which one you mean-
His first scene is in the first tavern you stay at, the one where the coliseum fights take place I think? All you have to do is have a few point of affection with him, then check on him at night. he'll invite you inside, then later ask if you wanna have fun.
Doing so unlocks a foreplay scene between you and drago, but you get interrupted by thane.
The second scene happens later, at ruadens castle/temple/whatever teh hell it is in the swamp. if you've unlocked dragos first scene and shown interest in continuing what was interupted (I forget where the choice is, but if you just hang out with drago as much as possible you should find it easy) He'll meet you in the hallway at night and invite you back to his room to finish what you two started.
dragos last cg is in Ruaden's castle/temple/ big fuck off house in teh swamp.
To unlock it, I THINK you need to have unlocked dragos first cg in that playthrough (tavern at the coliseum), then at some point afterwards while hanging out with him mention that you would like to continue what was interrupted (I think the actual dialouge choice is something along the lines of "what happened that night").
If you did everything right, one night while at ruaden's place, dragon will meet you in a hallway at night and invite you back to his room to finish what you started.
This is the second time I've gotten this same error code, the first time was in the bonding moment with Tchort on either day 7 or 8 (which ever one had the knights attacking), and the second time was when the player is talking to the ghost dragon god (I don't I've gotten an actual name/title for him and if so than I sadly forgot) after the player's most recent training session.
Should I abandon the past(*cry*cry*cry).Siegfried is so cool,but for the accident,he and aki do not remember each other anymore(*so sad*).And for the reason he becomes a bottom of dragons and aki encounters new friends,but however,it's still a sad story that aki had such a miserable childhood as well as sieg became alone again （orz
NGL i really want to like the VN but the fact that the characters what you to sympathize with them when the commit monstrous acts annoy me
<details>
<summary>Spoiler<summary>
like Thayne annoys me as his demon told him full well that he'd have to kill everyone in his village his mother and uncle included to save himself and he went along with it then is surprised when his act of self-centeredness/self preservation gets his mother and uncle killed and he murders the innocent.
or
how then MC kills a WHOLE KINGDOM because he had a grudge with the king and the knights(even though he was the one that fucked up and broke a rule and if he along with the king he might have gotten exiled instead of dying) but wants you be sad for him cause he was abused as a kid.
or
Red who is sad his old friends and lover was killed by holy knights when demons kill like that for no reason at all and the holy knights were justified as demons are well know do bring havoc wherever they go. but the game constantly shows this as an traumatic and undeserved event that happened to him when my dude you have no qualms killing others for fun.
<details>
i don't mind evil characters or anything as i find them really fun and interesting but i have problems with that when they refuse to acknowledge their actions as evil and try to appear sympathetic when they arnt.
note im only in the arena part of the game but i have a feeling this wont change in the future
I would say I enjoy the visual novel right now as I find the qualiaties working for it arent really enough to put me off but I do agree that I think the story would highly benefit from actually standing by and admitting that its characters are not good people and some very much evil in nature.
One of the first things our MC does is destroy a entire kingdom and several innocent people in it, I can very much enjoy a not ideal hero like MC leaning or being evil but the story should stand for the fact he did infact do these things. Later on we learn his backstory and its tragic and sad sure but... he killed literally a countless number of children be it directly or indirectly he did that whole "Killing a Kingdom" thing does include very much children so he is kinda becoming the type of person he oh so hated yet the story makes it out to be a thing we should be celebrating and then cry when we learn his sad backstory.
You can not have both a killing cold blooded monster murdering people easily but following its own goal and a tragic misunderstood figure we should feel bad for because they lost 1 single person or 2 they were close to and not address the underlying hyporcrisy in his actions.
So while I do enjoy this VN and I consider it just some fun not to get tooooo deeply carried away in over interpreting I do recognise its flaws in not fully realising the characters actions and how much of a horrible person they are being.
I agree with most of what you said but I think "Just having fun" and not interpreting the characters does a disservice to the story. the reason we play is to get to know the characters(and the NSFW parts) and if the story does that poorly in a way it should be pointed out. the moral hypocrisy makes me not want to see half of the characters succeed as to me they are terrible people that refuse to acknowledge that. like being hot can only get you so far when killing a whole kingdom women and children included is on your resume and your reasoning was "for the lols" but still expect people to be sad for you when you talk about your backstory (yes im talking about aki). I cant force you to pay attention to the characterization but the fact that you need to UN-immerse yourself instead of getting invested shows issues in the writing. at least in the morality department. My overall opinion of the game is much higher but still.
(this is my second account as my PC is like 2000km away so I made a new one)
I am not trying to say it does the moral aspects well or that Aki or his companions are justified in their actions or even that this part of the story is one that should be ignored.
The flaws are present and should be acknowledged and I may have not expressed myself very well in my first comment.
I do recognise these issues in the writing and characterisation of the characters and how they are being very much terrible people but hypocritically expect everyone to feel sorry for them because “I lost TWO people close to me!” Or “The Knights murdered ONE person close to me!”
I am saying that despite that flaw I can still find enjoyment in the visual novel in the aspects I find work well or even great. So despite this being a pretty obvious flaw it does not ruin MY enjoyment as much.
If this is however something you can not get over or find to be impossible to look past for the moments that do work then that is totally justified, you read/play whatever you like and whatever you think works. I am just saying how this is for me not a total deal breaker and I can enjoy it.
It is however really simple to fix the moral issue.
Just remove Aki destroying the whole kingdom bit with 0 issues in a instant just let him kill the king himself and that’s it.
It would still keep the aspect of the ruler of the gladiator city hearing of the kings death and that creating some issues with the black ice Aki ever so openly uses but it would also fit more with how they behave in the rest of the story and their characters.
Aki had acquaintances in the kingdom and people who were nice to him as seen in his flashbacks and he when in other cities or kingdom or even immediately after meeting the other demons behaves nothing like this city devouring sociopath or this very cold person so I really do not see the characterisation of him in the beginning fitting with the rest of the story.
These tiny fixes can be applied to every other character and all just makes more sense except maybe red who may need a bigger rewrite making him not a literal psychopath who multiple times tried and would have totally killed us if we didn’t give it our all to LIVE.
there seems to be an error code that pops up once or twice during and after the fight with the Wolf Knight and Seer Captain. it may be something to look into.
I think, i could see possible of aki parent appear now...
If fate play with your life and twisted. Who know worst nightmare might come true.
I think aki have some secret, well it's weird how his parent refer "because of you ruined my life" or something like that.
#just theory#
What if there's reason for aki to be chosen before tchort even lay his hand?
He whom color purple and appear at few scene was quite like to bring aki alive but not other guy?
I think there's chance biggest plot yet revealed. Personally? I think aki and (i forgot name) purple dragon must related some way either by fate or something we are unaware.
Hi,Here's Maoyu. The latest update is also great, which really makes me expect for the next update.
And can I still make Chinese translation patch of the latest public version? I've got your permission before and made the Chinese translation edition of 1.7.5 version. There are really lots of Chinese fans who love the story and are eager to know what's going on next.
I dunno how to make something blurry with the spoiler stuff so i'll hide my question under this long pause...
(pretty sure the thing i'm curious about is 1.7.5 stuff but i'm not sure hence the precautions lol)
curious about masque, specifically his sprites i guess?
Playin rn and he looks all draconic
And like i don't remember him looking like this when i last played like an update or two ago, so i'm left wondering if this is just his new design or if it changes on route depending on who you romance or something like that????
It might not have changed and i'm just horribly misremembering but i'm pretty sure he was different...

My apologies for the error, for now you may ignore it, the error will be fixed and ready on the next update

Can anyone tell me how to get that last scene?
Edit 1 - (ty for any kind of help)
Edit 2 - btw i love this VN i cant wait for next update :>
Lose to the knights at day7
Ty friend
Ammmmmazing update!!!
Sorry I think I'm already in love with Abaddon🥺
there seems to be an error code that pops up once or twice during and after the fight with the Wolf Knight and Seer Captain. it may be something to look into.
Not heavy spoil but some of it.
I think, i could see possible of aki parent appear now...

You're clicking some buttons right there, bud
Peek through the hole in havelocks ship for the first scene by choosing to go check downstairs while the last one is unlocked in Aki's side story
Can you tell me how to play Aki's side story. I am just new to this types of games.
I can't talk to Red when I'm recommended to talk to him. Not sure if you fixed it BUT hopefully this update did.
You need to confirm talking with him multiple times, eventually it'll switch the buttons and that'll be the last time
OH Thanks. Was like "What the fuck?"
Yeah it confused me too lol
You know I wish sig was romanceable still sorry it's just too cute the Side Story really made me wish it was possible
Perhaps that might happen, all I can say is not all wishes come true
I completely understand you just made that Side Story too good and I bet you didn't think people would love siegfried so much
555 yeah,sieg is truly so cute,I have totally fallen in love with him(*cry
He is so gentle to aki and they are so ...(I even can't find a word to describe it)555,so good

He had a rework and yes he's a dragon, as of now, he only has a new design but he is planned and plays a big role on the later updates.
