You've always been different. Cursed, some might say, with the ability to see ghosts. It made your childhood a living hell, so you buried the secret deep, building walls of normalcy to protect yourself.

 Now, you're just trying to make ends meet as a new bartender at "Sinner's Haven," owned by the charismatic Alphonse Winchester (aka Alpha.). But then you stumble upon Alphonse's horrifying secret.

Come and find the difference between demons and monsters in a corrupt city and decide where your loyalties lie.

The choice, difficult as it may become, is yours.

Hi writer! 

I'm here as an IF and VN reader that has been around the scene for more than a decade. I enjoy reading this, and am immensely grateful for you sharing. It's a really nice read! That's why you're still seeing me around! Don't let anyone else tells you otherwise. 

Passion project is exactly just that: a product of passion. It is daunting enough to share the child of our minds into the world, moreover to listen to unwanted advices 🩵 Why, I know several writers that choose to block those unwanted, unasked, pesky know-it-all peeps that feeds on insecurities to own d!

As long as you have fun, and there's someone to share the fun with you, it's completely alright! Take all the time you need, take all the break you need, you are creating something and it should've been a privilege for people to enjoy what you make. Not the other way around. Hell, people pays to enjoy writings! 


Cheers!!!

— a Fan! 

I appreciate your words, I mean that. Thank you for keeping me inspired and motivated.

I did not mean to delete the newest post *hides under rock* Q.Q This is what I get for trying to operate things via phone.

This made me laugh :'D 

Mr. Clipboard comes to the rescue, lookit' :

"I second this, the whole thing could be half as long with the same effect :v It made me skim over quite a few paragraphs! 

Also, there are statements which kind of contradict each other, stuff like (I'm paraphrasing here): "he wouldn't mind his flirtations, if he wasn't responsible for his bro's accident" then "he despised his blatant flirtatiousness". So, which is it? He does not mind it too much or he hates it? 

Another thing, there's no need to explain to us that Roman and Alphonse speak in code, we're not idiots XD We've already been informed he's getting bodies from somewhere, and from the nature of the conversation on the phone it's pretty clear what's up. The classic law of SHOW NOT TELL applies. I immediately felt "this is an inexperienced writer", which is fine, of course, but it's like watching someone miss a slam-dunk live, a bit of a bummer  

Bonus: the tone of the text could be way more casual; a more everyday colloquial style fits the story more IMO, but this is also a matter of preference. I feel it was probably as much of a disservice to your story to use AI, as help. 

Cool idea tho! :v "

I've already been working on editing the first part so the first chapter will not be quite the same for this upcoming update. 

As for any usage of AI, it wasn't used nearly as often/much as people seem to think it was. So the only thing to blame here is my writing style, to which I apologize for and I'll work on it.

I'm confused why LibreOffice Writer, Twine, and GIMP are being listed as AI? None of those are AI. That's just a word processor, a game engine, and a photo editing program.

Ah, i see the error now. I meant to put AI and Programs used, not just AI.

Good shit, hoping for a more focused POV on our character in future updates, as well as (though I'm not 100% sure if this is a IF, it seems like it and that's what really drags me in) a lot more choice based decisions and a few options for character customisation. Also, a nit-picky complaint, but I'd love for there to be a way to resize the text as it's fairly tiny for me, in which I get lost between lines ifykwim. Other than that, really fun concept and solid writing (though not a supporter of AI in the creative field myself, I can cope with it being used a tad as it still reads as passionate and cared for, albeit slightly 'dented' imo) setting the plot lovely and descriptions painting a quite solid picture in my mind, though admittedly a few words had to be looked up and a tiny bit of scenes seemed excessively detailed - dw I completely understand the urge too stuff in descriptions but I've learned the hard way that often leads to confusion and takes away from the more important aspects. Keep up the fantastic work, also don't take my critiques as the gospel, if you like what you're writing and your writing style, I will never try and stop that. <3

Hey, dont worry. I appreciate the opinion more than you know so I can understand where and what to adjust in writing this. Its always best to keep an open mind. Thanks for the feedback. The next part should be set to release over the next couple of weeks somewhere.

Ofc, my pleasure. Love the concept and the immersiveness, can't wait for the next chapter! Once more, keep up the great work! <3
