This game is going to have multiple timeskips, though, not just one and definitely not small ones either - MC’s children are apparently going to be very important to the plot, so that implies a 15+ year time skip where we can interact with them as young adults (like in the visions). And LM already confirmed a timeskip for CH2, meaning 1.2 will probably start with one right away - the only question being how big will it be? Are we skipping to the middle of Sera’s and Elin’s pregnancies? To their end??
It will be great for mc to have some scene with his children, but if I recall my memory right I had saw someone reply in this thread said something like lazy monkey claimed the story will be finished in two chapters like monkey business. If it is true then the time skip will be very large and the remain time to develope new characters will be very few, just want to ask is this true or not.
I wonder if CH2 is going to go straight into a time skip now or not. I hope not in all cases. As I really need to see the immediate general fallout in court, and especially with Sera and Elin if you had Elis dome the absolute fuck out of Alaina. Also surely this is going to raise the racial tensions out in the world rather high when word gets out that the ONE Elf serving in a higher station, has been brutally murdered by the prince-regent in front of everybody, with a cup.
Looking forward to, but also kinda wondering how LM is going to handle these different world states. As this will surely have a big ripple effect on the world vs say the "maintain status quo" game.
To me it is surprised to see so many people want cass and alaina dead. For a harem based game the player just usually want to collect every possible Li as many as they can, deduct Lis from the story is kind of rare.
Btw, if there are time skip in ch2 other than the usually family content I want to discover more about the characters who didn't have much scene in ch1, like val's friend, the vampire councillor and the female vampire sona, arcadia or katarina(is she this name? The miss fortune like Li in the west).

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure LM said the "first" timeskip to start off CH2 won't be too big (couple of months?), because he described it as a 'medium' timeskip, IIRC.

I don't specifically want Cass dead, but I don't see how she can survive unless I go along with the coup. Alaine... I just asked Mommy Dearest for help, so we'll see how that goes.
Looking at other events, like bastards getting kidnapped and even the forest spirit being eager for the MC's seed... I get the impression that the best ending might even be a marriage-only playthrough. There are still many ways the story can go, but if you're with Elis and/or Lia, there are several warnings of how dire the repercussions are. Personally, I get a Children of Dune-vibe (Alia) from Elis' daughter.
On the way to the west, at the village, we also speak with a mysterious woman in a dream, who tells us that we still need to deal with the 2nd snake who's responsible for everything and doesn't realize she's a puppet herself. She also says to always trust only our reflection (Elis). So at least one faction that isn't the MC's blood is interested in Cass & Alaine being gone... But to what end is anyone's guess.
Is there a way around it? I suspect I need to set 'cass_prison_fate' to 3 or 4 at a certain point. With the source files being in Russian, I'm having some difficulty pinpointing the right place.
yeah.. Elin has definitly a yandere behavor, better not ignored her jealousy , romancing her or not either way i feel in the long run she will try to kill our wife or even one of her mage friend ..be careful Corina
It's very funny, but I even see the flaw in the game in the fallacy of your point of view. The game would be more fun if Elin was a yanedere or a yangire.
Is Elin a yandere? Why do you think so? What are the reasons for thinking so?
She's too much of a good girl. I even consider that a flaw.
She literally refuses the help of servants. She supports the republic and the ideas of freedom. She's against solving problems through violence.
Even in the scene after you give her the ring after the ball, if you choose (power) and (not overstepping boundaries),
She says, "You're right, you're right about everything, I'm just too weak to reason and act like you."
Is this yandere behavior in your opinion?
In fact, the plot allows us to roleplay as a yandere towards her. If player wants her to be with us, the Protagonist must be proactive and persistent, cunning, and threatening towards Lockhart.
But Elin herself behaves more like a Disney princess – moping, crying on her knees, and complaining about how unfair the world is.
Yes, in the latest updates, she's finally showing a bit of character, showing jealousy, and talking about how she'll kill our wife.
Throughout the current content, she's not a yandere. Maybe in the future. Right now, not.
Elin is my favorite character in the harem, but her gentleness and lack of cruelty are her downsides.
I hope the story gives us the opportunity to properly corrupt her. Not into a full-blown yandere, because her jealousy would be a hindrance in the harem. It would be great to forge her into a personal pocket executioner-archmage.
Corrupt her to the point of forcing her to kill Lockhart herself.

I play this game as more of a story focused type than just a harem game. At least with certain playthroughs I have for it. For me, killing Cass and now Alaina is more about pushing back against fate. How dare these mysterious entities tell me what I can't do? It's not some shit like "Oh my god, she lied to me or kept secrets. Let me kill her!". My mission is to exterminate all 3 snakes because the gods don't want me to for their own purpose. But in my view, that will be the only way Elis will be truly free from their strings. As we saw in the vision when in the west. The entities seem to abandon timelines where Elis don't meet their expectations. Deeming it a failure.
So my intentions is to free my Elis from fate. To seek true freedom to do what I want and not be caught in-between these entities game. And this is by no means some new take from me. I've always questioned in this thread why I have to care about making it work with the 3 snakes. That I shouldn't have to bend over backwards for their happiness. My personal happiness is more important and if they get in the way of that, they're going to die.
One might think killing them is playing into the hands of the other Moon/Forest Entity, but that's not exactly the case. Like I hoped, there's a loophole with the snakes. Indirectly killing them or them dying from other causes doesn't negatively affect Elis. So neither entity wins the game. They'll have to try their luck with another timeline or suffer a stalemate until Elis dies naturally. Which is like a whole century or slightly more. Some might mention Alaina being killed directly, but this is more to see if she's indeed a snake like I suspect. If she is, I'm sure there's going to also be a way to kill her without Elis doing it personally in the future. If she isn't, then she can live.
Many people here are forming a negative attitude toward Alaina simply because of her question: "Do you trust me, Elis?" That's a bad question for her to ask.
Because the obvious and rational answer is, of course, no.
There's no trust in someone who hid such a wealth of information.
But the world isn't black and white.
You're all simply ignoring the fact that even his mother hid this important information from him, so what? Should we just beat her into a bloody pulp with a goblet too?
Decisions need to be based on facts, not emotional responses.
And the fact is that no one, literally no one, has done more for Elis rule than Alaina.
If her lies, her manipulations, her intrigues, her murders led to Elis coronation, then it was worth it.
To understand how an individual will act, you need to understand their motivation. Alaina's motivation is obvious: to give the elves a better life. And for that, Elis is needed on the throne. As a half-human, to be accepted by humans. As a half-elf, to be accepted by the elves.
The next fact is that Konrad's very position, in the light of this information, is dangerous for Elis. He rightly said that if Konrad finds proof of all this lies, Elis will be dethroned as an illegitimate king, and Konrad himself will ascend to the throne as the only legitimate heir.
The point is that Alaina cannot use this information to harm Elis, as she is part of this conspiracy. She is literally in the same boat with him, and if they sink, they will sink together. Moreover, not only will Alaina suffer, but the elves will also be discredited.
And she herself is useful. How much effort has she already invested in Elis? How many people has she killed for his rule?
And how many more will she kill?
Who is using whom here? Who is manipulating whom here? Who benefits whom more here? All Elis needs is to pin Alaina down. He literally has more power; he can force her to act openly.
But Conrad, no matter how you feel about him, is in a very good position. Because plans must be made based on the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario for Elis is if Conrad truly desires the throne. The very existence of this possibility seals his death warrant.
Because we cannot guarantee Conrad's loyalty.
Obviously, the author will prepare betrayal scenarios for both Conrad and Alaina. But these are simply the conventions of plotting a novella, a game.
And if you think rationally, the question of whose skull should be smashed with the goblet doesn't even arise. Because Conrad threatens Elis rule simply by his very existence.
it would be nice to progress further in the story but with this many variables and different paths i feel like the updates are just 5minutes long ... and then we get boring mommy scenes
