To be honest. Both look like Queen. They could even pass for twins. So it could be Queen (right) and her sister. Her younger nieces from her sister in the current day. Assuming we'll be getting into the elven side soon. Or, hell it could be Queen future daughters with MC. Though, I mostly doubt that because I don't see us getting too many more visions of the future. But assuming we're getting a flashback to her younger days, it's possible for another future days.

I'm more inclined to settle on younger Queen and her sister though. Mostly because the recent previews have been focused on her. Something I definitely don't have a problem with.

I mean I'm not gonna simp for roman empire, god knows it had its flaws(good part of its problems also coming from how big it was)...but the roman republic was an aristocratic plutocracy that spent its last 150 years of existence in regular civil wars caused by patricians fucking over plebeians as much as they could. It's definitely no model (and it's kinda funny and really telling that americans got such a hard-on for the roman republic XD).

Being an empire and a republic not necessarily run counter to each other.

Nearly all the reviews talk about amazing writing and plot, so I just wanted to confirm if the writing from the beginning picks up or if people's idea of "really well written" is just different to mine.

English (translation) is very poor, grammar and spelling mistakes all over the place always really breaks my immersion. Does this get better in later chapters?

So far nearly all the sex scenes (I stopped at the "rape your sleeping elf tutors feet in her sleep") feel SUPER shoehorned in. Again, does this get better?

Not trying to rip on the game or dev, just honestly want to know if I should continue on or not.

Overall, the plot of the game is wildly more interesting than your typical medieval fantasy AVNs on the market.
Though, I do agree with you that the game is "hastily" made (after all, releases are every 1.5 - 2 months), since there are a frequent spelling & grammatical errors to be found (and even mistranslations, as the dev is Russian). The sex scenes so far haven't blown my mind, and they are okay, for the most part.

It's certainly not the next coming of Jesus that many here would like to sell you, but it is nonetheless a good game. Does it improve as it goes on? Sure, but it's not a night-and-day difference if you were expecting that...

No, there's still regular translation mistakes, which is noted in the reviews as the most striking problem for an otherwise very good game. Dev is Russian, and while I hope at some point he'll go through fixing the english mistakes with someone's help, it's a bit annoying that they're not being corrected even after several updates.

The tutor elf feet is suuuuper early in the game, so yeah, I'd say it get better. I didn't feel the scenes were really 'shoehorned' but I see what you mean: at that point in the game the sex scene have no plot significance/intertwining and thus come in-universe from the MC being kind of an aimless hedonist manchild (and out-universe, from the dev's need to give sex scenes in a sex game). It get much better later in that regard, as MC get thrust into the plot. It should be noted that you can ignore such scenes if you do not feel like playing a horndog without any standards nor restraint too :p (or limit them to one such run). Personally I did not care for the tavern girl, and chose the tutor scene only in my magician run.

Honestly I think you should continue the game, just play it like you want, don't feel obligated to go for every sex scene if you don't want to play your character that way, and try to ignore/get over the spelling mistakes. The game is worth a try I'd say, and the very beginning is not where it shine the most.

It all depends on what you expect from this kind of VN. This is not a literary masterpiece with deep characters and a masterfully crafted story, but as an adult game, I think it's very good, especially when compared to others here

It has a more complex, ambitious, and interesting story than 99% of the VNs you can find here. The dialogues are fine, the dev doesn’t try to be pretentious or deep and end up being cringy. The update frequency is perfect, in other good VNs, you have to wait 6 months to a year and that's crazy. Okay, the dev probably has to sacrifice something to provide such frequent updates, maybe less detailed animations or renders in general, but personally, I don't care about that, and the LIs look good. This is not a book, it's important that you can insert yourself into the story, and the choices must matter and in this VN, they really do, you have great control over where the story goes. There's a good balance between rewarding the player and not making it a stupid game where you can’t get any scenes just five minutes after starting.

It's true that the English might not be great because it's not the dev's native language. It's not my native language either, so most of the time I don’t even notice if the writing is bad. I guess for a native speaker this might be more annoying though.

Anyway, this VN is not for everyone, and that's fine. If someone doesn’t like it because they aren’t interested in the characters, medieval fantasy, quality of animations, quality of English, or incest, that’s understandable. But compared to other VNs, I think it should be considered a top game.

As a native (American) English speaker, I know just enough Russian to confirm that the translation to English results in several awkward phrases that probably sound a lot better in Russian.

However, I can say that I am blown away by the plot quality. The base story is amazingly interesting for an AVN.

Also, the amount of meaningful choices and paths beggars the imagination. First off, the initial choice between the 3 styles of MC causes scene differences throughout the game. Then you have two ladies to pursue as the MC's wife, or you can ignore them completely. Plus, of course, how you deal with the King (the MC's father) and the MC's older sister makes entire lengthy scenes available or not. In that regard, this game rivals BaDIK for the need for multiple playthroughs. It's got to be a bugger for the developer to keep track of all this. There must be extensive advanced planning, storyboarding and flowcharting to keep this game moving toward its intended completion, whatever that might be.

All in all, an enjoyable experience to play, some petty translation awkwardness be damned.

Yes continue, this game is way better than %80 of all games on the website.

The translation is sadly something that can be improved a lot in this game. But if you pay less attention to the grammar and let you brain fill in the gaps, the plot and branching is very complex. Characters are fleshed out and behave like people would in that kind of a setting (they have questionable loyalties). It may even be called the Game of Thrones of AVNs.

Regarding the sex scenes, if you stopped there you're missing out on a LOT. Most of the important LIs haven't even been introduced at that point. Elis is definitely a horn dog to an extent, but most scenes are believable.
