Mystic I do not follow threads here so my apologies if it is a redundant question... Any plans for Book 2 you might be willing to share?
I shared quite a few info on Steam post.

You continue where you left off at B1. The rest, as I said, is a giant wall of text I left there.

There is a fair amount scattered through the thread. You could try searching just by user 'Mystic' to get it all.

Basically, Eliot's son will be the main dude in Book 2, and considering he isn't born (or even conceived) yet. It could be a while.

But I do know he has all 3 books and DLCs pretty much mapped out.
This is false. Or rather, misunderstanding on your part. No, hell no. Book 2 doesn't mean Elleria 2. Elleria 2 is whole game for itself, Book 1 is continuation of Elleria 1 and where Book 1 of Elleria 1 wraps up.

There is far too much content and story to say.. "Hey, this ends here." Impossible.

And yes. Elleria 1 though, ought to have some DLCs. One of them, where you play as different MC, aka Silas Varros that is presented in CH4. Though you play as him nonetheless in B2 on multiple occasions.

Ah, yes. Momynth- I mean, Amynth. Yes, yes. The biased part of me would tell you she is my favorite character, along Eris. Though she takes 1st spot.

The unbiased part of me says no comments.

Aah, so there's books inside each game. :) (y)

Usually i don't like secondary protags added in a single protag game. But, Silas is a really interesting concept makes me crave an AC AVN

Silas plays a very simple role. Not for sake of enhancing the game itself, but Silas enables you to see behind the scenes. What usually would be a fade to black screen.

You'd miss out half the things, that would make you question how come Eliot knows A, B, C. And how come he does A, B, C or how did A, B, C come to pass? It would be confusing and unclear.

Eliot cannot be present on every corner of the world, dealing with everything on personal level and by directly involving himself. But others can. Silas is one example of people that enable you to see what transpires behind the curtains.

For example, in CH5, and wrap up. Eliot tasks Silas to venture to Otoris and deal with Khamira. But if you were unable to see through Silas eyes, you'd never understand what happened or how it came to be.

Whatever the case be, Silas has his own dedicated DLC planned where he is the main protagonist, where it is pretty much AC. Which is what he was inspired by, which, I suppose, is fairly obvious.

Consider Silas to be something like Bayek from AC Origins for Elleria, that's his role.

Been a while since I played this but why the fuck is the MC so antagonistic with everyone (with no player choice over it)... Yana comes to make peace and extend an olive branch and instead of matching that energy it's like 'oh ho ho, an olive branch for a change I'm surprised you're not trying to beat me with it'... chill the fuck out, I'm surprised he has any allies at this point. Like when you go to try to recruit the necromancer and then just endlessly give her shit even though you're the one who went to her to try and get her to join your team. He doesn't come off as some some dark and brooding antihero, just as a jerk - and even if that was how he started out the player should have had enough opportunity to influence him by now to give things a flavour that suits our tastes.

So much of chapter 3 (?) just devolved into endless cryptic-ness and edginess (can't think of the right word). Ooooh forces beyond control, ooooh riddle riddle vagueness, ooooh in time you will know, ooooh my past is so heavy but no matter the cost yada yada yada.

Now I get I'm just a horny chump playing a porn game but obviously should have gotten with Yana when she mentioned being a sex demon, then she could have dropped the illusion as they were in private. Ended up having a rubbish quickie (that he was also complaining about before and afterward) in a forest. She deserves better, not just because demon gals are great, but also she maybe had to let some rando fuck her to not go mad, who was then a jerk about it and gaslit her into thanking him for it. Oh and now she's gone for I guess at least a while too, so there goes any chance at treating her right and getting some real demon loving. Also not showing Amy the pleasures of the flesh at the first chance because 'ooooh I don't understand these feelings' then stammering through trying to blow her off when she makes a move later, pfft. Oh and they keep talking about how Morgana will betray everyone, well no faster way to ensure that that to perpetually put her down and talk about how disgusting it'd be to bed her, not to mention assault her, she's hot why not try to secure her loyalty in the best way possible.

Also from when I picked things back up (when he goes to the dwarves, early Chapter 3 I think) until the end of the current content there was a sum total of 1 choice, and it didn't really feel significant, though admittedly I didn't check what happens if the new MC gets information from regular people rather than poor ones. Kinetic games are kinda dull the advantage of games over movies is interaction and getting to have a hand in the proceedings. This goes hand in hand with my complaint over how the MC acts, the player should be deciding this even if it ultimately changes nothing but the dialogue. I'd say it was out of laziness but the game is well polished, the models good, the renders solid, so doesn't feel like that.

Like I'll keep playing because I do like a fantasy romp and I like some of the ladies in this, but I just remember this previously having left me with a much stronger impression and I'm really sick of MC's attitude that is stuck on either whinging or being an arsehole to those he should be appreciating.

There's a lot to break down here.

First and foremost, I hate the MC. Can't stand him. He is easily my least favorite part of this and when you can't relate or at the very least, identify with the MC, it makes reading this a slog. He's not deep, he's not that complicated, despite how he sounds. I hate how he treats the others, I hate his look, I hate just about everything about him.

If I went into this horny, I'd probably end up celibate. It's not that kind of VN and if that's what you came for, find a different story. I'd almost argue the sexual content here is to check a box more than being relevant to anything.

I recently restarted this because I thought I was being overly critical earlier in the thread when I posted initial thoughts. Mostly, I was confused about how people were enjoying it when I was very miserable and have given up VNs for a lot less. On another pass-through, early chapters are still an absolute slog. It starts to get better with Amynth. Aria and Amynth basically get me through this.

I'm not quite to the point where I regret spending money on this. That's just unfair to the developer who has clearly poured a lot of time, effort, and money into Elleria. I guess I come back with each update hoping for something. I want a chapter to make me want to read more chapters. I love some of the concepts introduced and in general, I like the world. It helps that "fantasy romps" are also my jam.

As for it being kinetic, I have no real opinion. I've read great kinetics. I've read shitty kinetics. Some developers lack the technical knowledge and should stick to kinetics. It does have the kinetic tag but I'm not F95 savvy enough to know what that exactly entails.

The way the MC treats Morgana reminds me of the meme where the kid pokes a stick through the front wheel of his bike and crashes and then blames something else. I expect one of two things when it happens: shocked Pikachu face or MC literally being expressionless about it and then saying something dumb yet edgy such as, "I foresaw this happening and thus it happened as I foresaw." I promised myself I wouldn't jump on the English because it's low hanging fruit but reading lines like that give me a headache.

All that said...yeah I paid for the story. I hope it gets better. Not sure it will but I guess I'm in the for the ride regardless.

We know that Lyria won't be present for the rest of Elleria 1, given the words of the developer. Given that Elleria 1 is going to be several books long, it will probably be a year or possibly longer before she pops back into the story, if at all.


Her written letter left an open grounds. Because even I, am uncertain as of yet. I know the state of things in the moment, for the moment and at the moment.

Future? There is only so far ahead I am able to see myself. What I can and will say, is that she will not be present anymore in Elleria 1.

Come back in Elleria 2? Possible. Likely, perhaps highly likely even. But right now? No.

She already left several updates ago.
Dev said her character was never meant to be a main love interest in the first place, and her time in this game was originally never meant to last this long.
It's just that her character got a bit popular, so he extended her duration of being in this game a bit.

But, the story must go on, hence she left as originally intended.

Basically, to sum it up;

I'd say it's highly unlikely she will return.
Her returning will only result in people (who are left disgruntled with her not ending up as LI) crying out to dev saying "she should be a LI."
I don't think that's a Pandora's box that dev will be willing to open.

Honestly, I forgot about this. How Aria didn't reach across the table and slap him is beyond me. I thought maybe the MC was trying to be funny. With that facial expression though...no he's serious. Why can't Aria be the MC? She's way more competent.

I can understand typos and the occasional phrase slipping through the cracks but there are many times the MC, Eris, and others repeat themselves in the same sentence.

It is very sad that Lyria the first real woman in the game and a beautiful Elf is gone again. If the Dev wanted her gone he should have killed her off early in the game and not make us feel something for her and then just get rid of her.
I really hope you can correct this or explain why she is not a LI.

Hmm...well that is sad to hear. Especially when the story conveyed earlier that she has been traveling with MC for over 5 years, and with her custom of having one lover in her long lifetime...and she just gave her first time to the MC. And then he suddenly becomes even more of a distant asshole towards her, which bothered me.

Like other have said in the forms, I'm also not a fan of how MC is with his girl friends (he's a total cold dick).


Well, now I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with this title, since she will be gone from the story (and it's one of the main reasons I liked this title was because of that love interest). :unsure:

Regards.

im dropping this not because of lyria but because of the second protagonist. not my thing. besides that i feel like some of the dialogues drag on for way too long. i think mentioning sex scenes is worth a while, they are just horrible and i am not talking about the lack of animations but the whole thing in general, it just doesn't stick.

lol you do realize that the game banner isn't even 100% accurate in this game's case.
Out of the 5 girls, 2 of them aren't even LIs.
One is Lyria, and the other one is Elvira.

Only ones who should be considered LIs should be;

- Eris; one of the 2 main LIs
- Aria; a LI, but not one of main LIs

Yana is more of a best friend + fuck buddy, and not specifically a LI like Eris and Aria are.
Not to mention the banner is literally missing Amynth, who's the other main LI whose importance is even more than Eris.

So that banner is seriously outdated cause it's based on early game.

Also, while what I say below could be incorrect, I'm getting the feeling the dev didn't make that banner in OP.
Probably one of the talented GFX creators (lots of talented ones in this site), just put that together with every single female character (regardless of whether LI or not) inserted from the game's early days.
