As promised, a continuation of last month's dev sneak peek!
The Ninth Crown: Beloved Dila
Dila became the Crown during a time of relative peace; there were no wars to be fought, and Arsur had finally reached a point of stability. Dila’s reign was best known for the flourishing of arts and culture within the Empire. In fact, it was during Dila’s reign that pleasu...
Hey all!!
It's been a few weeks since I did one of these, but my writing pace has been erratic lately. Hope the CH10 previews made up for that, in the meantime!!
(Also, I only realized yesterday that I totally forgot to write up the Dev Sneak Peek, I'll post that the coming Wednesday instead 😭)
As for current progress, this past week has actually been rather productive!! In terms of chapter size, I think this one will be a bit smaller in wordcount, maximum size being in t...

This one includes a cute little personality/conversation variation ✨
“How long have you been training with a straight sword?” $aname asks, gesturing to his weapon.
“Only a few weeks, Royal Protector.” The trainee glances at you again, reluctance growing into anxiety on his face. “Since the palace needed more guards, after $ctheir Imperial Majesty coronation.”

Hey all, sorry for the late upload!! I couldn't quite make it last night, but thankfully there's still several days left before the end of the month haha
This one is about A and more of their ~Parental Trauma~
It was almost a kind of prep for CH10, since that goes deeper into the backstory regarding both their parents, as well as their sister 👀
2022-11-28 02:15:15 +0000 UTC View PostGabby / @artbygaia finished up the Crescent Blades art that I'll be adding to the game once CH10 releases! The codex entry will also be automatically unlocked if you open a save past their introduction in the story in CH1.
However, due to Heval's truly ABSURD height, the size of the art piece couldn't quite be in a banner format, so it ended up looking quite big within the actual game!

As promised, another preview today! This one's on the fun side of things ✨
“You realize it’ll be over once I catch you?”
“If you catch me,” $rname replies, $rtheir smile like the curve of a bow, aiming at $aname in challenge. “Try your best, Royal Protector; the Crown is watching.”

Heya!! Hope your week is going well 💖
I don't technically have any posts planned for this week aside from the 2nd character snippet, and next week we'll be in-between the monthly schedule, so I thought I'd post some previews throughout the week as I'm working on the chapter!! I haven't written a proper progress report in a while since there is very little news I can share yet; I'm still continuing to chip away at the chapter, but a lot of the scenes are so fun that I don't want to sp...
2022-11-22 16:39:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!!
The romantic snippet this month is a juicy one, as you can probably tell from the title! This one, like the others, takes place in the distant future of the canon timeline with R/Crown in an established relationship.
Here's the link to the updated file!! It also includes D's recent character snippet for ease of reading.
As a reminder, the link for these snip...
2022-11-19 17:46:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! Back again with another Q&A, this one for Master Keko 💖
The next Character Q&A for December will probably be the last one for a side character, after which we'll switch back to more Q&As for the love interests in the new year.
But for now, onto Master Keko's Q&A!

2022-11-13 23:36:35 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, hope you've been well!!
It's time for D's character snippet, and with this, we're almost done with the canon POV scenes. After A's snippet releases later this month, I think I'll switch over to some of the alternate timeline scenarios I described in the weekly progress update for the months December and January.
But also, perhaps write a few snippets for other characters!
In the meantime though, you can enjoy this one. It's basically the moment where D...
2022-11-13 23:33:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello, hello! Hope your week has gone well ✨
I've still been chipping away at CH10, though progress was a little bit slower the past 2 weeks since I was finishing up an exam period. Now, however, I'm free to work on AToC until January!!
I'm making good progress on the LI POVs, especially X's and D's as I've been feeling a bit inspired lately, so I've decided to share some previews in advance. No screenshots anymore becau...
2022-11-06 18:13:56 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, hope your week is going well so far!!
For this month's sneak peek, we're going to look at some Crowns who haven't been named yet in the story. The Royal Codex so far goes from the 1st Crown, to the 11th and 12th Crown, to the 18th Crown and onwards. That's a lot of Crowns that were skipped over, so I thought, why not introduce them here?
I ended up writing a lot more than I expected for each Crown, so we'll do 3 Crowns this month, and 3 Crowns next month...

This week's progress report will be a short one since I don't have anything big to talk about at the moment.
Remember that 20k wordcount goal by the end of each month? Yeah I don't think I'm gonna get past 12k in October 😂 Optimism aside though I did still manage to write pretty consistently every week even if the numbers are low, so I'm feeling good about CH10 releasing in the winter!
Hello, hello!!
It's time for the romantic snippet this month and it's a very cute one. Kind of in line with D's snippet as well, it's all about comfort and care 💖
I think most of these snippets take place at a point where there is an established relationship between the Crown and the LI, since the Mutual Pining stages are still being explored in canon! Don't really want to spoil those character dynamics yet hehe.
Hey all!! So sorry for the late update, I forgot my own updated schedule and was still moving through the week thinking the Q&A was scheduled for Thursday instead of Tuesday lol. I need to set an alarm for some of these posts I swear.
Perjin won the poll by 1 vote!! Master Keko was a super close second, but I'm also very happy to write more for Perjin as we haven't had a proper scene with either in a while 💖
So, onto the Q&A!

For those that didn't notice/are new, with the addition of romantic snippets to the regular schedule, I moved the Q&As up a bit, so from now on the voting will be on the Sunday of the 2nd week of the month, while the Q&A itself will be posted on Tuesday.

It's maximum angst for X in this snippet, though you can also see the first beginnings of their relationship with the Crown starting to solidify.

2022-10-16 00:54:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, hope you had a great week!!
I finally got some writing done after all the planning for CH10, though I think the initial goal of this 20k a month may have been a tad bit optimistic. I got about 3k words done lol, but let's see if I can ramp up the word count this coming week while I'm getting back into a regular writing schedule!
I've worked more on D's POV scene and got started on R's POV scene as well. While D's an...
2022-10-09 17:08:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, I thought it would be fun for this week's sneak peek to dive in a bit on the geography side of things. The geography codex in the game gives a basic view and description, and MC in the story itself sees Rojan's climate firsthand, but there's a lot more detail that'll be shown in future chapters. So let's dive in!
The world that Arsur is located in has an overall population of 320 million, whereas Arsur itself has a total populat...

Bit of a delay on posting the progress report as I realized last Wednesday I actually didn't have anything to report on, so I decided to just post it today. Thankfully, I do have a few more updates!
I've refined some of the planned scenes for this chapter and finally started writing yesterday!! Not a lot of wordcount in yet, but for the month of October I'm aiming for 5k a week 2022-10-02 19:51:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello, hello! Made it to Wednesday and managed to finish this snippet in time.
It's not a very romantic one tbh, but it should give you good insight in what X's reasoning/mindset was at the time they cooked up their plan to use the Crown as bait for the FoV in the guards. Especially if you know their backstory with regard to Crown Piruz...

Just letting you know I won't be able to post a weekly progress report tomorrow as my whole house is currently being painted. Don't really have any space right now to sit down and write properly 💀
I'm posting the tier 3 character snippet for X on Wednesday though, so I'll post the progress update around that same time as well!!
See you Wednesday 💖
Sorry for the late upload gang, it somehow slipped my mind yesterday until I woke up this morning and had an Oh Shit moment because I thought today was Thursday lol.

Heya gang, hope you had a great week!!
I'm gearing up for the CH9 public release at the moment, so there wasn't much writing done this week either. However, there was a lot of planning done, and I think I've edited enough to start the writing process up this coming week after dropping CH9.
I've outlined the scenes in CH10 in what turned out to be, fittingly, 10 bullet points. It's pretty packed, so I think the chapter will be on the...
