Crown of Ashes and Flames

WAAAAHHH OMG I LOVE THIS OMG OMG OMG

also, I would love my character to just have calm, majestic, ANGER

like, she is silent, kind. but is just filled with quiet anger~

she is barely holding on to her patience. she is constantly stopping herself from going beserk because she knows its not right. when she was a child, she was full of happiness and kindness. I mean-- she still is kind, BUT GOD she will not forget her parents, her twin, and the woman who pleaded to her in the fire-- LIKE??? NUH UH IM SORRY- I HOLD GRUDGES--

so far she hasnt gone of the far end, but hooo boy she is getting tested, the gods are testing her fr fr.

I havent done chapter 4 yet, but AAAAAAAA OMG 

but she does miss her home, I mean-- I WOULD?? THATS MY HOMETOWN, AND I WOULD DO EVERTHING TO SAVE IT WAAAAHH 

oh also, romance?? she'll take anyone honestly, doesnt matter. as long as she gets VINDICATIONNNN 

I'll prove ya'll WRONG-- like, sure. my sister probably killed your wife, Luceris. BUT HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THAT ME AND MY TWIN DIDNT?? OR LIKE-- WHAT IF SHE WAS BEING FRAMED HUH?? THAT WOULD MEAN YOU KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE

And if my MC finds out thats the case-- SHE WILL ABSOLUTELY REVEL ON YOUR ASS BEING SO FUCKING DEAD (and I know its justified because I saw you kill my family WITH MY OWN EYES)

I'm sorry, I know revenge isnt the way, I know. BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE THEM AWAY. (my character wanted to die then and there honestly--) (until now, she might be a bit like that--) 

speaking of, PLEASE TELL ME MY TWIN IS STILL ALIVE OMG I'M NOT OVER THAT-- HE HAS TO BE ALIVE, TRUSTT (I am coping)

the choices I picked were like-- sensable choices I think. I mean, she acts amicably, and does fake smiles here and there. 
(didnt fire the maid, and flirted with Eadith hehe.)

Am I going for Helios?? mmmaybe...? (ok, maybe its to spite Luceris. fuck you Luceris.) (but even so, he seems cute) (like a good bo-- AHEM AHEM STFU ME)

honestly, I'm going for everyone. and end up with who sticks. (or replay the game picking different people to romance)

and I know, I know vincent is like-- mean, BUT THAT WONT STOP ME, HE IS ROMANCABLE FOR A REASON!! (but romancing him wont stop me from standing up for myself--) (gotta have back bone-- I WILL KICK YOUR HEAD) (yes, head.)

lastly, PLEASE LET MY TWIN AND 3RD ELDEST BROTHER LIVE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PELASE PELAJSW-- (coping once again, I grown to love my twin even if he died so quickly I'm gonna cry--)

(oh, and please let my sister be innocent, I mean, if shes guilty,  its fine-- but if she's actually innocent?? VINDICATIONNNNN)

wait wait, also-- Luceris and sir Lancelot in a relationship, I knew that in the previous chapters-- but like
okay, I still love Lancelot. But I will give Luceris SUCH a hard time. this bitch thinks he can move on?? NAH. YOU KILLED MY FAMILY-- THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MOVING ON THAT QUICKL-- YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO MOVE ON FROM YOUR WIFE, AND THINK THAT "oh haha, I'm fine now actually, anyways, sorry for killing your family teehee~" NAAAAAHHH. 

(wait actually, not sure if hes sorry for that, but I dont care, I cant forgive him.)

(also, I knoowww I should be happy for them, and how luceris probably moved on, maybe. but like-- it hurts?? its like, they moved on and its like, not a problem anymore?? also the fact that some people still think my family are monsters maybe--)

Who knows, maybe I'll give up on revenge, or not. I just want my family to be vindicated, alright?? theyre dead and they cant defend themselves from people's mouths. I hate it when they say our family are monsters, like??? FUCK YOU??

also, being honest?? therapy?? talking to someone about your feelings?? pshh, why do I need that for, when I got VINDICATIONNNNNNN (pushing my feelings down and acting I'm okay but not, WHOS WITH MEEE??)

My hobbies include singing, exessive oversleeping, and over indulgence in✨fucking✨
(what do you mean there are two unhealthy coping mechanisms??)
(nuh uh-- three of them are perfectly normal.)
(totally, trust me.)

cant wait for the route where i frame vincent for the murder of big L (im the biggest Vincent hater)

So end of chapter 1, I'm wonder if there could be an option to agree but you don't care about revenge?

Help! SPOILER Did i do something wrong or does hunter reject us in ch. 4 no matter what? It feels like theres very little romance reward here and the MC is like 20 now...

Also have timed choices been implemented yeet?

Me And The Bartender Just Havin A Fun Lil Fling Since Ol'Vince Keeps Shuttin Me Down:

Vince: Let Me Just Pull Up A Chair.

Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't enjoy the romance in this story. I mean, what the MC is going through is horrific. I only want revenge and to make everyone in that castle miserable, especially the King and Lancelot. I'm rooting for you; you know well about our MC's past, but what the ****?! How can he do that? Don't give crap about being in love. Nah, the same King who constantly reminds us that he dearly loves his wife decides to move on. What a joke. What he is doing behind our backs—dating our worst enemy—the betrayal is really cut deep, because I feel he is the only character who is supportive towards our MC. Sorry for the rambling. I mean, it's a good story and have potential, but still, I hope the MC can take a break 😕

would be fun if when you put your fake name as the twin's name, it gives a comment about it

It's my first time playing, and it is so much fun and worth immersing in the story. I enjoyed how bratty you can be LOL definitely looking forward to future updates :)

It's been months since I last visited this. Now, I replayed it from the start and all I can say is this was truly written well. It's still as amazing as the first time I read this. ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

Ever since this update, I'm convinced in getting on Vincent's route. My MC will need to get over Hunter though.

I love the new update, it has so many angst moments.  i can't lie, this me whenever I see a new options to make my mc sad and vengeful:

bro Vincent pulling up a chair to watch MC is wilddddd. I like him sm. i need more romance with that hard headed man lmaooo.

Literally so torn between Hunter and Vincent. On one hand, Hunter is so soft and sweet and precious and the childhood friends to lovers trope is absolutely delicious. On the other hand, Vincent is so incredibly pretty and I NEED my MC to crack his shell and squirm their way into his cold little heart. He WILL be soft for my MC.

IM SCREAMING THIS IS SO GOODDDD 

Luceris and Lancelot- in a relationship? Wha- I need to reset again 😭😭

Also IT'S SO DAMN GOOD!

Ahhhhhh js finished the chapter!! soo good and what a cliff hanger! Cant wait for more!!! >:33

I think there's a bug whenever I choose any options with a ❤️ at Hunter's story 

Where is the update?! I need it!

As someone with a twin, I couldn’t help but choke on some parts. I feel that in the absence of her, I would look in the mirror and pretend I was her.

This MC is quite adaptable and resilient to not just stab the emperor’s son before his eyes.

You vehemently shake your head, rejecting his explanation. “I will never understand. I will never move forward.” Luceris laughs, but the sound grates on your nerves. “I suppose we do have something in common…”

The moment they see you, the crowd falls silent and begins to murmur in confusion. Someone shouts out that you have red eyes, and all hell breaks loose. “Red eyes,” one person says, “He is a demon.”

“You need to confront the harsh reality of your situation and embrace it,” he asserts, each word landing like a cold truth. His figure looms closer, a shadow in the moonlit night. “You can’t reverse the sands of time; there’s no going back, and solitude is your only companion now. This is your fate,” he declares.

Luceris’ chuckle resonates, his amused eyes crinkling as anger simmers within you. “Do you really believe you’ll be able to escape?” he taunts, advancing toward you. “But even if you could, where would you go? Do you have a home left, Aza?” A pause, his head tilting. “Do you think you can go back to the way things were before? To the happy family you had? To the warm, safe palace that was once your home?” Closer now, his voice drops. “This isn’t one of your little bedtime stories, child.”

This makes me feel like he he thinks that the MC and Him are the same, kind of pathetic. He seems to be a little crazy, like a madman whose god fell and he lost his sole purpose.

It’s like he’s trying to convince himself though he’s addressing the little child.

Was not expecting him to let being slapped slide just like that! His knight is really affectionate, which feels like the knight harbours something forbidden, was he secretly celebrating the emperor’s wife’s death, and then being disgusted with himself afterwards?

The mage is very obediant. She follows the foreigner like a little cub, trailing behind like a trail of colerful lights surrounding a fairy. No matter how cold the fairy is, the lights aren’t afraid to radiate with eager warmth. Her nature is really adorable, but a little saddening.

It makes one wonder why. So far, it seems it’s because of the MC’s miserable existence, and her tendency to babble on even when no one reply’s.

The little prince is really cute, he wants to impress his pseudo stepmother? does he feel like he has to make up for his father’s mistakes? what a sunshine. I feel that he will get hurt badly in the endgame.

Such a person, he likes to be unburdened but gets involved into everything. Like a flower raised carefully by his father. It’s easy for him to get dyed in the colours of the world.

The guard, makes one feel that a big and radiant lion is hiding it’s claws in order to accompany the young cubs. Hunter’s demeaner seems respectful and composed, but in reality this one likes nothing more than complete omnipotence and watching the colourful lights of the mundane world unfurl.

How nice. It gives off a really handsome feeling. Like cheering for a really cool athlete .

The big princess is also like a big lion. Parading regally through the crowd, not yet mature but also not too silly.

She wants to grasp everything and obtain the most radiant of radiance. A little too hasty, but very Firey. It feels like she calculates everything. Very sly, I kind of feel that she is a little untrustworthy. She doesn’t care about much accept to satisfy her curiosity.

The knight reminds me of a certain relative of mine, so I have a prejudiced dislike for him. He is cold and composed, but very reliable and stable, warm to his close ones and a little biased towards outsiders, especially when the biasedness stems from someone who he admires dearly.

His sense of moral is quite strong, I find such characters to be charming, albeit enviable. Such resolve is truly admirable.

This is very nicely written, articles mostly aim to invoke emotions. This article has done that very well.

Despite disagreeing with most characters, the reader can’t help but feel empathic, feeling a little attached to each person.

It’s not easy to understand their motives, but as the story progresses it can be like a thinly veiled truth. Understanding but not quite, extremely delicate and well-woven.

And the two brothers were killed because of their close relation to the eldest daughter, right? the emperor’s meticulousness is quite chilling.

I noticed that some traits tend to change according to our choices, and don’t seem to be set in stone. I don’t know if the hobbies matter very much, but the mechanisms are definitely exciting. Will the level of mastery matter very much? Very eager!!

I am a little confused on how to unlock the third achievement. I am aware that the writer distastes spoilers, so I have been trying for the past hour, but just can’t seem to unlock that one.

Does the manipulative characteristic affect aanything in the story? Like negative or positive? I feel like it has effected the game somehow.

I anticipated some scenes to be extremely cliche from their initial introductions, but they turned out to be not. I was face slapped a lot during the playthrough. Thinking that ‘Oh, this character is so cannon fodder’ and then feeling someone slap me invisibly and being like ‘Haha what a cool guy!’

The most crazy character so far is the emperor. He’s really sick and pitiful. Some of his scenes had me like this

Your article is very entertaining, and I look forward to witness it’s end. Not much a little reader can do, but I send you virtual appreciation.

This is indeed one of the very dedicated works I have read here, not comparing, but it’s on par with ‘When Twilight Strikes’. The changes and butterfly effects are very subtle.

Cheering for your success! Sending virtual flowers 🌸🌸

WAITT is the twin brother actually dead cus like we never saw his body im getting my hopes up rn

Ooh interesting, will the RO we're romancing maaaaybe come across our journal at some point?
