I love the game and it's one of the best RPGs out there, but I'm a little disappointed that Orcent doesn't have his own harem. The guy is almost as much of a MC as Simon, and he has no shortage of women throwing themselves at him.
Orcent would have traded the harem for a group of philosophers in a heartbeat.
His choice of a former church sister from Feroholm (who is very into discussing obscure works) as the more permanent lover speaks volumes.

It doesn't matter.
this is false. they are both an handicap. you can works around it, but you need to know exactly how everything will run.
if you go blind they will hurt you in the long run with an high probability

you can't change the name, you never be able to do that. the protagonist isn't a empty shell self insert charater.
Very few protagonists are empty shells. Just about all of them have specific personalities, usually have histories and wants; these are all written as a complete character.

It's just most authors know people like to name their MC and take the extra couple minutes to make it possible to do so. People like you can always keep the default name, people like me can rename we both get to enjoy the game. All his choice did is make it so I won't support him financially (and yes I do support them usually, giving more if I really like their games, but I've probably given at least a few dollars to over 50 game creators at this point.). Devs probably lose nothing more than a little time by making their characters renamable but they do lose people when they don't - case in point - me and this game.

I believe a couple of lines from the end of the prologue will suffice to demonstrate just how pointless what you want would be in the case of TLS:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the first character. You play a 'Simon' for most the game, right? If so, you could rename him.
If you switch between characters all the time then that's true for this specific game and how it was written.
It doesn't change the fact that many people want to be able to name their MC whatever they want (their name, an alias they use online, or just a name that they feel better matches the look and feel of the MC).
If I am right and you use a single character throughout the game then I question the decision not to make that character someone you can rename. Seems like it would be easy to do when you make the game and wouldn't really disturb much. Worst case would probably be you make any puns that use the name or references (references like if your character's name is Atlas normally, you could reference the MC always trying to hold up the world or something - connect it to the mythology) not make sense. But lets be honest, a lot of games have questionable use of the English language. I doubt it would be a deal breaker for those who change the names.

Yeah, and it's well known that the devs of 'The Witcher 3' fell into an unrecoverable financial hole because people had to play a 'Geralt'.

That being said, in terms of joking around with a name, I'm infuriated because there isn't a single 'Simon says...!' joke in the entire game.

You missed the point of the game

Woah, wait! Correct me if I'm wrong, but either Qum or Yarra did use that joke.
Or is it from another game with similar character? Maybe too much investing in this game will result seeing similar character in another game.......

I need to rest a bit, the update is too much :ROFLMAO:
Guess I'll dive into someone convo regarding this update.

Well, I'm a few days into Chapter 4, so either I haven't gotten to this joke yet or it flew by me. ^^"

Here is another thing I would like to know:

What makes Aka in combat smile?
The battle busts, I mean.
In the patreon pack, the busts where she doesn't smile are called 'nervous', and the variation where she smiles are called 'cool'.
But, what was the breaking point for it?

Can I grind my way to victory? Like Overlevel cause would the game think I'm cheating or does it have a mechanic that detects that. ?_?

You can't grind.
Dead enemies stay dead (no random encounters, 99% of all enemies are visible on the field).

Yes, the game has anti-cheat systems in place, in case you are overleveled.
Which simply means, reaching a level you simply couldn't have reached naturally at that part of the game.

But you can use an editor and edit stats, without affecting the level, as the game doesn't care about how high your ATK or DEF is.
That being said, the game detects if you won an unwinnable fight, which gets punished.
And the game detects if you defeat some specific enemies too fast.


Read with caution, as it is kinda spoilery.

It is encouraged to defeat every enemy, as experience and money are finite.
Don't worry too much about "defeating some enemies at a later time".
Some people make a big deal out of the fact that chars miss out on experience if you defeat enemies without getting the chars first.
It doesn't matter much, don't sweat it.

Also, everyone in your party gets the experience, not just active members.
