That was turned into a racial slur long before the "PC police" came along.
Still, you're not wrong.

And it can still be used as not a slur... People can tell by context if someone's trying to be a bigot...
"what!? It just means a bundle of sticks" sure dickhead that's what ya meant.

Not really, if Ishtar wants Helen and Joan to be with the MC, then she will tell them so, Monica got shown the way by her god. So anything is possible in the game.

won't deny a possible divine intervention but i doubt it will happen, current Law's don't allow it and im pretty sure divine command had a hand in creating those laws, anyway if we do get the chance i hope it will be sirina and not joan
never know. But a Dryad giving an awakened familiar was pretty rare as well... so we know that some gods are looking at the MC with interest. I just know I really like the game, the story is just great.
take care,
peace
i like both your game and AHITR, and choices a great but should always only be a + not the focus, atleast as long you dont have a giant money inflow. The problem with choices is that they MUTIPLY the needed work. And that for every path that is made, Or you dont have meaningfull choices and your game and the story becomes meaningless. Many games here in dev fall then at somepoint in a endless development cycle because they dont want it to be meaningless but also need astronomic amounts of work for just a step. So i find your choices for the development right and well chosen. Oh and thank you for your great work for EVERYONE even them which can only occasionally
support you.

Yeah, since it was my first VN, I wanted to keep the scope manageable. That's why I kepts the choices sparse: just giving the player the choice to who he is impregnating would have meant thousands of additional renders, for example.
Now, that makes TFS less of a game and more of a novel, and that's not everyone cup of tea. But on the other hand, as a player I saw several devs burning out under the workload, so... And I have a lot of story to tell, and I want it to move fast. Well, relatively fast, rendering the scenes is a slow business.

Just a word about the latest updates. I somewher feel that since part 1 the author has been throwing random women at the protagonist. Women that we don't care very much about. At least I don't. I don't give a damn about the random queen's maids. I want to see things progress with already established characters like Kes. Harems can often suffer from character bloat and this one already does. There are so many new charactes that I don't even remember them when they show up again. Never mind care about them.

On the one hand... point.
On the other hand, you HAVE to fuck the maids. it is like a LAW of reality. it is why maids exist in the first place!
Plus this is more medieval politics than love simulator

yeah that plus the maids from the queen's house are more side chicks you got from Sarah...
i doubt they will get deep path's aside from 1 or 2 maybe.
the main reason there is no big kes or erika scene's yet is because vanderer is building a story and is doing it well which means you won't fock every main girl within 2 days off meeting them

Well I'm not arguing there but like .. you can't fuck maids if they don't exist. And you can fuck better maids more often! Quality over quantity!
Also I know you can't just put everything out there day one cos there's no where to go then. But there's a lot of characters that the MC already got sexual with that I feel getting ignored a little lately. And I said I wanted things to progress not that I expected full on pregnancy sex with the main cast right off te bat XD
It's only my own opinion sure. But I think the game is veering too much towards 'shiny new character' rather than exploring and deepening the relationships the MC already has.

I get what you mean. It's a fair criticism. But I like my harems extensive, you know!
No, seriously, most maids are...pleasant disctractions. They are not meant to be LIs with a in-depth relationship. They are there to bring some fun, and some variety. There are exceptions like Aoife, of course.
The "main" LIs were a little bit neglected of late, true, but their stories will pick up soon. Notably the MC will be out and about with his party for a few days. And the mission to eliminate Sariel's daughter will be a long one, and as such I'll have plenty of time to develop them. Others LIs need the story to swith back to WIldale before they can progress.
But yeah, The Fiery Scion is a VN with a lot of LIs and not a VN with a few LIs with a very elaborate romance. Of course, some LI's romances will be deeper.
I mean, I designed the world itself so that large harems are part of the setting. And there still a lot of story to come, and a lot of time for developping the romances.
And the harem is mostly full anyways. I won't add a lot of them after the Queen's maids. A few from differents races, like Minotaurs and High-Elves, or from countries not visited yet.. In addition to the ones the MC told Lilianna about.
But yeah, the MC is a horndog with a pregnancy fetish in a world full of single horny women...he's going to fuck around a lot. It's by design.

i do think you stuck a decent balance though,enough main girls with story, the maids are mainly side girls and don't get much backstory/screen time but still enough to not make feel empty and boring.I get what you mean. It's a fair criticism. But I like my harems extensive, you know!

i've not gotten that feeling off "to much" yet because i think you're writing it well enough to get away with it
