The game is simple, but it's funny and unfolds in an interesting way. It's a shame there won't be a harem. But I love the story so I'll stick around.

Good update, with some nice fighting scenes.
Thought i have to ask, will the MC actually be a powerfull fighter at some point ?
I mean, he makes the best out of his situation and he is a likeable character, but letting the others fight while playing ''support'' doesn't make a great MC imo.

It's hard to answer without spoilers... what I can say is that you'll be fixed with the next chapter. A lot of things concerning our MC will be clearer after that...

Very nice plot, feels very anime-ish. It's good enough that even though the (planned) sexual content is incredibly vanilla, the plot and character are enough to keep me playing. Angelica is very easily best girl.
MC is also a lot more tolerable than many I've recently seen, so good job.
One possible criticism is the overuse of humor in the actual serious situations, like the battle with the A-Rank Sorceress. She felt a bit like a joke at the end there. Swordsman was well done though.

Thanks for the great content, Lunardis! Really felt like the plot is picking up with this update. I'm particularly fond of the MC and Angelica, and it's nice to see both them and the other characters getting further developed and expanded upon. The scenes were great and I could tell you put a lot of effort into them. Especially the fight scenes seemed like they took a lot of time haha. They came out really well though!
Anyway, I'm enjoying the buildup so far. To me at least, it always make the payoff better when you get to it. So already looking forward to the next release haha.
Oh one last comment. I did chuckle at quite a few of the scenes. So for me at least, the humor was a success as well.

After having different 4 paths you can also add harem as a 5th path that may make endings more interesting.

Probably not. Just individual paths for each character. Which admittedly, is more to my preference anyway. See below:

Yeah, that's kind of an issue nowadays. Just because "a lot of people do it" does not necessarily mean it's correct - it's always better to consult an actual dictionary, rather than going with just your gut feeling. An example of this is the horrendous "I would of made X" instead of "I would HAVE made X" - lately I see a lot of people using that, and it doesn't make it any less nightmarish.
Plus, with popularization of manga and anime, a lot of people started learning Japanese, except a lot of them only learn "poor man's translation" - it's my personal pet peeve when people translate something, but don't understand the phrase from native's perspective. A really quick, off the top of my head example, would be urusai, which is usually translated as "shut up" - except it's actually an adjective (what I like to call verbal adjective, so an adjective that's simultaneously being a verb) which means "loud", "ear-grating" etc. You need to know all those things, and the same word can then be translated in 10 different ways, depending on the context. Maybe that specific example doesn't happen very often, but it shows a principle. My point is, people often oversimplify translations, which leads to really weird Frankenstein's monster-type phrases, which are then being repeated by people who are influenced by these translators, but are too lazy to check what they are using in a proper dictionary. Not a good trend. Not saying I'm not guilty of doing it sometimes, but still - not a good trend.
I also vehemently disagree with the notion of "don't worry about your phrasing, as long as what you mean comes properly across" - how you say something can be just as important as what you say. It's always frustrating for me, when I see a story that has a good premise, be ruined by the author using the language like he's 12. It's not that bad in your game, but do keep that in mind for the future.
Overall, the story so far (I'm somewhere after the fae attack) seems pretty cute - my biggest complaint so far (other than what has already been said about the language) would be the tone, which seems a little confused.
One moment we have a party and silly conversations, then a bunch of terrorists come out of nowhere and start murdering people, except tonally we're still in Saturday morning cartoon land. I feel this dissonance between "some twenty people just got publicly stabbed to death" and narration/characters approaching it with a "well, this was a doozy" attitude. I feel like this should have a stronger emotional impact on people, you know what I mean?
Plus, the goddess is kind of a bitch, if she just casually accepts a contest with the chaos god, knowing that a lot of people (whom I understand she's supposed to be protecting) are going to die. Again, seems waaaay too casual, considering what's at stake.

Thank you for the positive feedback!
About the overuse of humor, you have a point I guess... What I liked here was the idea that the main character, who is supposed to be perfectly normal, could turn the powerful sorceress that everyone was afraid of into a joke, but I can see how that might seem a little weird for some people...
I'm not trying to defend myself absolutely, but to me, the real villains of the story are the S-level, which is why turning the Sorceress like that didn't bother me that much. What I can assure is that the main antagonists will definitely not be a joke.
Are you supposed to put a description? Someone asked me to share the sign I was using, so I just put it here, without much thought, honestly...
I won't comment much on the first part, mostly because I agree with what you said. Just two points, the main subject of the previous conversation was the word "Saintess", because this is used as a fantastic term applied to something that doesn't exist in our world, I think there is more tolerance to the rule here.
And of course there is the problem that I am not fluent in English. I agree when you say "how you say something can be just as important as what you say", but that just means you have to do your best. I knew I would produce something less than perfect when I started the game... Does that mean I shouldn't have done anything? I don't think so...
And about your point concerning the game directly...
For the fae, you're right. The problem, I think, is that when I wrote the scene, I knew everyone was okay and no one would be dead after that, so it seems fine to add some humor. But of course, the reader doesn't know this at that point. So yeah, there is a problem here... Thanks, I'll try to correct this scene for the next version.
Concerning the goddess, it's going to be explained later, but if you want to know (it's not a major spoiler):
