Thriving: "prosperous and growing":
I've been working on incorporating more subtext in my writing, but I always worry that some readers might miss the underlying meaning. Here’s one such example: No, the protagonist isn't simply saying that "Luna standing here" is enough. Luna is actively working to heal the nation by stepping into her role as its ruler.
Koster, it sounds like you're not in the right mental state to enjoy the game right now. I appreciate the bug reports a lot, and have fixed them in 0.9.0c. However, your ranting here often comes off as shallow and dismissive, unwilling to explore or challenge deeper themes in the story, and very much considering any attempts at such storytelling to be an inherent flaw. While not the most prudent argument, it's worth pointing out that you're the only person that found issue with the protagonist's speech in this scene. In this instance, your reaction reflects upon you and your own thoughts more than it does my own story. I think challenging the protagonist here is actually a great thing. He's supposed to be a somewhat relatable character, but he isn't gospel, and he isn't always right. However, you seem to think that if the protagonist is wrong, that means the writing is bad.
Thank you for all the work you put into this project, and all the ways you handle feedback, even the ranty stuff. Your works are always interesting and you should feel real pride over what you have accomplished.OP has been updated to 0.9.0c. All reported bugs and issues so far have been fixed.
Thriving: "prosperous and growing":
The city is thriving, its technological and economic advancements surpassing all previous incarnations of Arcadia, even while it was under the threat of the darkness.
While efforts were made to portray nuance in the city’s status and Queen Aurora’s rule, the dawn of this post-darkness era brings undeniable progress. To call these developments anything less than thriving would seem pessimistic. Particularly in this conversation, where there's a city-wide celebration with fireworks, and a new princess is being crowned, and you're having a conversation with said princess...

The protagonist is reflecting on the idea that if Luna clings to her current mindset, she’ll never attain the peace she seeks, because Midnight’s actions can never be fully redeemed. However, by declaring her intent and proving it through action, she demonstrates immense strength. If she fully commits to this path, she more than deserves to find peace.

This scene is establishing that as a main theme of act 2. I can't spoil it now, but disagreeing with the protagonist here is a perfectly normal reaction.
I recommend taking a break and coming back to it later.
Yes, background moans too. Animations take lot of work, they're treated as a bonus even in big budget japanese nukige. I would rather have a good pace of updates than to wait 6 months for a single animated ero scene.
There are likes under my previous ranting 2, 1, and there will be after this. You think that everyone will comment something they didn't like?)
I can only wonder what does it mean. Everything alright with first FwB, with Monster Girl 1000, with many others, not yours, games, but there my mental state changed?
I didn't ever said anything about bad writing. (Except sex-scenes. Compared to Monster Girl Dreams, for example)

This is a forum, and discussion about game, so why can't I talk about it freely?
Everyone who disagree with me can tell where I'm wrong, I will appreciate it!
Also thanks for explaining thriving thingy. (I still disagree with the second one, because I was not shown any of her real actions as a leader yet)
I think it might be a good idea to step back a bit and consider the way you're acting.There are likes under my previous ranting 2, 1, and there will be after this. You think that everyone will comment something they didn't like?)
