Crown of Ashes and Flames

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?

IS THERE ART OF LUCERIS? I KEEP FORGETTING WHAT THAT MAN LOOKS LIKE TBH. ANYWAYS, THIS IS STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMESS💗💗💗

When will the next chapter be released? Also love this game so far!!

Is there a way to be trans in this game? I haven't found a lot of games with that choice

I'm so confused on how to romance Helios, please help :')

i am a sucker for vincent i can't wait for when he stops hating me so i can kiss him already ;-; also i've been replaying the game and thinking about whether our sister did it or not and it would be pretty cool (and heartbreaking for mc) if that depended on what mc thought about it (like if mc thinks sister did it then she didn't, but if mc thinks she's innocent then she's not) all my best wishes to the author i love this game sm!!!

I dont want romance, I want revenge😭

Waiting for the chapter where I can kiss helios🙏🙏🙏

i've never cried more in my life oh my god. the prologue and ch.1 actually had me violently + silently sobbing into my hands at 1 am. your writing is genuinely insane and i cannot wait for more chapters!! also call me delusional but alistair is 100% alive and well somewhere vesphire in my head. nobody can convice me otherwise or i will just have to die.

Hey, real quick - I had an idea. Instead of saying “codexes”, you could say “codices”. They’re both correct, but I think the latter rolls off the tongue better. But it’s just a little thing, and it’s just my personal preference, so, no biggie if the idea is ignored. Just thought I’d bring it up.

Oh I think this will be the first game where I won't have an RO, I want everyone to die 😈 so if we have an ending to get revenge muahahaha 😈,that's going to be my choice 😈😈 

Love this IF ❤️. Despite everything, I still like Luceris, I feel like he genuinely cares at least in my playthrough as a MC's that are kind and doesn't hold any resentment at. I like how you can make him uncomfortable by calling him your husband. Helios is also really sweet for putting effort.

fuck this shit made me cry like a bitch. I love these characters and this world so much when is chapter 4 you cant do this to me Cœur
