Either that, or a solution like in Muv Luv Alternative: Several of the characters we have come to know and love actually, really die, and it's incredibly sad and just as irreversible as in real life. Accordingly, it hits extremely hard. However, there is some extra trick that makes it totally bearable for the readers. (I hope saying that much doesn't spoil Muv Luv for anyone, as it is one of the few visual novels that are actually better and longer than Eternum and are real top literature comparable to the top classical novels. It's just not an adult visual novel like Eternum, though adult enough to have found a place on this site.) The world of Eternum is fantastic enough that something like this should be possible. I have an idea how I would implement it. And of course it would make for a great cliffhanger.

He's actually not talking about getting LIs killed there, more the opposite...
I think the 0.10 update might be related to something happening to Calypso. She’s the most powerful and she has the blood of Queen Anima. I don’t think she’ll die, but something bad might happen to her.
As for the LIs dying, I don’t think that will happen. Some people might want something dramatic to raise the stakes, but I’m pretty sure almost 90% of the audience wouldn’t like it if something happened to the LIs. This is one of those few games where everyone likes every LI. It’s not a game where people dislike certain characters or LIs. All the girls are written really well, and anything happening to any of them wouldn’t sit well with the audience. At the end of the day, this is a porn game with a really good story.

Good point. Primarily, I was just meaning that it would be extremely weird if out of nowhere Cari suddenly changed the versioning format or something. It should just proceed as you might expect. But technically, his next version could be called v.justiceForJerry and it could still be Ep9.Don't focus to much on the "version " numbers, is just "cosmetic". Treat every update is what it is, an Episode, or chapter. The upcoming gonna be episode 9 . and I don't remember the exact number but Caribdis said something along the line , that around 12 episode can be expected,

I'm just imagining the uncontained rage that would follow if this game pulled an Acting Lessons.

LIs can't permanently die, that's a 100% certain. At least for a harem ending. Just came back from playing Once in a Lifetime and the
is just chef's kiss.
Same dev and I'm getting the same vibes here. I mean the games are in the same universe after all

Interesting you feel that way; IMO it was one of the weakest parts of that game. Most of the LIs don't know about any of the others, none of the LIs know about all of the others, until they all meet on the plane, boom, one big, pregnant, happy family. I've been concerned for a while (or rather, been hoping for a while) that Eternum will do a better job in this regard, and it looks like it's well on track to do so. Just the fact that four of them are living under the same roof (with MC), and the other three have quickly all become good friends (with each other, with the Carters, and with Annie) puts this scenario ahead.

wait wut?The main 7 are likely going to be fine no matter what kind of near-death situation Cari subjects them to...provided that you haven't greyed them out, anyway.
View attachment 5229568
Can't say the same for Calypso tho, considering that while Cari said she's "part of the harem...but different," she still doesn't have a dedicated LI page. And that kinda bothers me since it's possible that there might be a terrible reason why she doesn't have one even at this point in the main story.
I will probably have a wife and kids by then considering it takes him 12 months per new chapter.

We haven´t even dealt with the cliffhanger of 0.9 and this man already has plans for the trauma in 0.10.
He better gives another good threesome to make up for it.
It would be impactful, I think, that depending on what you chose in this scene, it automatically choses for you what to do in a situation where you had to save unknown lives or the girls you know.

Fr tho, I would really hate the game and would wish I never played it to begin with if something like that happened. One of the worst animes I've ever watched is called "Killing bites" and the ending or the climax is with the mc being killed by his 'lover' or potential LI. Similar to that, if one of or some of the girls somehow end up being dead or something would leave me with the same bitter feeling. I hope it's a joke/scare or if it's not then I hope he definitely changes the decision

I have to agree with you about the fact that some of the girls feel "out of place" if you go for that ending, as they are not fleshed out as the other characters in the main cast, BUT...it was still a satisfying ending for me and it was exactly what I was aiming for
I at least hope that Caribdis will give us a similar (if not pretty much the same) choice with this one.
Agreed, and I'm quite confident of a harem ending with at least the 7 main LIs here. Caly still doesn't feel real to me.

Related like family related? Doubt Cari would pull that twist now given that Caly gave Orion a handjob and that would basically qualify as incest content (which would get him the boot from Patreon as a result).
Does anyone else feel that in the future we’ll see Orion’s mom and she’ll play a significant role? Right now(from what we have been told), the only way to traverse realms seems to be if you either belong to Queen Anima’s bloodline or are a descendant of Yliar (the immortals). I don’t think Orion is related to Yliar so the other possibility is that Orion is also part of Queen Anima’s bloodline.
Orion’s mom could be related to Queen Anima or her husband (the mage who saved her). What if they had a human child, one whose human traits were more dominant than their elven characteristics and kept the child a secret? That bloodline could be human. Or what if her mom is an elf who came to Earth, similar to How I Became a Hero?

Would it still be considered incest if you share the same great-great-great-great-great-grandparents?
