holy shit why 700 pages?! WHAT ARE YALL TALKING ABOUT
I had the same question...
Top question rating:
1) How do I navigate the game's UI?
Use my guide, dude!
2) How do I deal with the game's VN-like quests to get all the girls?
Use John's guide!
3) What am I missing and where the heck it's hidden?
Probably somewhere in John's guide, but chances are, you will still need our help.
4) Why would a benevolent god allow this game to exist?
Censorship rules in Japan clearly demonstrate that the world is run by a tentacled demon.
This game is enticing, but its user-unfriendliness reminds me of the very old games, back in the day when the authors could not spare some bytes to explain anything.
Edit:
5) How do I protect my base from raiders?
Switch your villagers to "survivor" behavior. Except for one very angry werewolf. Give the werewolf an amulet of raid attraction. Enjoy the look on their faces when the woman they wanted to abduct turns out to be an angry werewolf.
I feel this one deserves its own guide, with how many options there are. But by mid-game, you will just not need the guide, because you'll be able to use the totems to disable the raids. And by late-game, you'll be calling the raids yourself, in order to eat their souls and enslave their women.
