Eek thanks for the first comment <3 I'm glad you like the story idea <3 I hope the final product doesn't disappoint lol xD I'm especially happy you liked the characters...I was worried they would be too flawed for anyone (except myself) to be interested in them
Yep. Guilty as charged. I've been into a smart kid before LOL
God the newspaper clipping part took me FOREVER. I had to also actually write out the newspaper article line by line (because otherwise the line spacing in between each line keeps getting messed up so I gave up and just wrote it one line at a time holy crap). But I'm glad someone found it cool...totally worth all the pain and effort xD
@Agashi
Thank you so much for the feedback
1) That's exactly where I got the inspiration for this VN actually xD I was just reading another romance novel that ended after the main couple got together, and I was like to myself "But what happens after it fades to black after the MC and her love interest starts dating and apparently lives happily ever after?" So I wanted to try something different and came up with this. I'm really glad that you think it's interesting too to explore an existing relationship
(especially a dramatically trying one xD)
2) LOL To be honest, I wouldn't want to be friends with Breanna either irl. But if it helps, she has a lot of redeeming qualities that show at certain points of the story, which is why Austin fell for her.
(Andyouknowwhattheysayaboutoppositesattract) I won't give away too much about how/why they got together, but it will be explored in some pre-relationship flashback scenes in the VN.
3) I'm glad you're interested in playing it!
And ikr the the art/logo is so pretty xD I'm really lucky to find the amazing artists who were willing to help me out for free, because I couldn't afford commissions or draw myself xD Yay thanks for the positive comment on the GUI. I spent so many painstaking hours on it (with a lot of help from tutorials/resources) because I'm never naturally good at art/design LOL
4) ...Oh god. Wow. That's embarrassing...how did I miss that x_x I had to do the description for the char profiles line by line because otherwise I can't seem to make the line spacing work correctly so that each line of text would be on top of each of the blue lines. I did Austin's first then just duplicated the whole group and edited it line by line into Breanna's profile so...I completely skipped seeing that line from Austin's profile and forgot to change it LOL Thank you so much for catching it! I updated it just now, and quickly read through it, but let me know if I missed anything (I'mstillreallysleepy). And yup I'm hopefully getting a proofreader (maybe editor) for the VN to proofread everything. Thanks for the vote of confidence xD I hope the final product doesn't disappoint.

Thank you so much for the feedback!
Ahh yes you're right, at first I was actually planning to make this a KN. But then I came up with a feature/an idea that could make it into a VN with multiple endings and hopefully portray the story better too (but we'll see, it might be a total flop D: xD) But anyways, yes, that basic question will be addressed in the end. There's also other questions/themes that will be addressed in the endings like...will she learn to still be open to love after this relationship crashing and burning? Will she learn more about herself after everything and find the courage to be herself and be happy with herself? Stuff like that.
(Also, I originally planned for a very minor second romance route at the very end, but I've been writing and this character is starting to grow on me...so he might get bumped up to a main char as well, and he will be one of the endings).
But anyways, I think for this VN, the focus on the multiple endings will be much less. The reason for this is I want the focus to be on the process, the journey of Breanna's healing and self-discovery -- her struggles, the one step forward two steps backwards moments. I'm not sure if my explanation makes sense xD
1) I actually do plan on making it in a fictional town in USA in a specific year (or rather, years, since the flashbacks will be from like a 5 year timespan). I will be careful about the portrayal of the setting, thank you for the suggestion
2) That is close to what I have planned! I mean, romance is one of the genres/main themes of this story, but her self-discovery is also a major theme, so that will definitely be addressed in at least one ending.
Once again thank you all for the feedback and interest. I'm really happy that people actually find this project interesting xD I'll be posting updates whenever I can (in case anyone is interested LOL)
