Good read, fun game
If you haven’t had it spoiled, the ending is very interesting. Definitely worth getting, the characters are all enjoyable and the interactions are believable enough. The fantasy setting is vague enough to not bog you down, but detailed enough to add to the story.
Fantastic
Really felt impressed and engaged throughout the story, especially at the ending. The negative reviews just seem very nitpicky, or are made by people who are unnerved by anything remotely sexual at all. If anything, I wish more Choice of Games focused on this stuff more. The romance is the highlight of most of these series, and I always find it disappointing when they just fade to black when anything gets serious, or they keep it shallow. I’m not a child, I dont need, and especially dont want these stories to be PG.
With that said, this entry doesn't have anything all that involved, there’s certainly no sex scenes or anything of the sort. However the romance scenes that are present, are very charged. I don’t feel emotion from written stories very easily, but this writer gets through to me everytime. He manages to successfully capture the heated feelings involved in these moments, not just those of lust, but the emotional as well.
Every story he writes, he manages to make at least one romance target character that I personally feel connected to. I’m not sure any multiple choice story really has achieved that for me quite as well, nor any other medium really. This especially applies to the character of Junko in his Samurai of Hyuga series which is still ongoing, that is his main work and is ongoing to this day.
Compared to Samurai of Hyuga, this is a much shorter story, and is contained to one book. However, its dark, engaging, and well written. It also explores some realistic(albeit not gone into in depth) depictions of politics, religion, and stratified societies.

Fun, light-hearted romp
Good interface, reasonably clear choices, cute romances, and a... surprise at the end that I particularly liked.
Only complaint is that, while the choices did make some difference to the narration, there was little room for divergence. The romances were the significant options. I'd have liked my element/weapon choice to make a bit more difference to my choices. I'm also not sure what difference Corruption made. Nonetheless, these issues are common to most Choices of Games, and this was cleverer than most (in a surprisingly meta way).
Highly recommended.

Let’s not be picky
Many people complain about the nit picky things in stories and ends up making the story seem worse than it really is. The story is great and if you’re not into what the author is selling, then try another! All I’m saying is, this is definitely one of the better stories in choice of games, even if other people claim it to be worse off than it really is.

Just wow
Seriously, this is very well written. It draws you in, in a manner that I had not expected. Well worth the buy. I’ll be checking out their other games
Meh
I went into this novel really optimistic and by the end was completely let down. The ending might as well have been, "and you wake from your dream, glance around and nothing has changed", because that's sure as hell how it made me feel. Replay on this to me is abysmal, every playthrough generates the exact same ending, pointless. Characters? Spoiler alert, everyone that isn't holding a sword wants to have sex with you. In fact the player and your buddy are really the only ones with a detailed back story, kind of like everyone else just crawled out of the woods into a vacant town. It's not the worst COG game by any means, that title is reserved for that awful Mermaid game they have available, laughably, for purchase.

Good story but ugh
While the author is a good storyteller, oftentimes he veers forcibly into what is obviously his own unfortunate juvenile fantasies. I have a fairly high tolerance for that sort of thing, but what pushed me to write about it is that it is forced on you whether you yourself are interested or not. You have no ability to opt out of it and it just. keeps. going. Besides these moments the story is quite interesting, which is why this is a two and not a one.

Quality Story
Despite it minor flaws, which in the main include far less choice and a lot more reading than in other games of the sort, all in all this one deserves five stars due to its fantastic writing, moving story, and excellent pacing. Pretty much the only game of this type where I felt like the way your character grew in power was natural and earned. The characters and settings are also flawless. All in all, I heavily recommend this game.

Good but with it was longer
Great story
Truthfully I already own the Kindle edition and just bought it on here because it was so great and wanted to replay it on my iPhone
Amazing
Storyline was great and played out well. Enjoyed playing it several times over. I would like a continuation of this story or an extension to the love life. It did feel kind of cut short in the romantic feel. Each romantic side of this story is there but I felt as though there was something lacking. Not sure what it was but it wasn't there. This does not distract from the story in the least.

Truly phenomenal
Everything from the vivid description. to the relatable statements, all wrapped up in a truly moving story makes, this app a genuine masterpiece.
Amazing... Plus flaws
I LOVED this game the characters are unique and funny, extreme replay value ( have fun finding all of the dialogue variations), and the story line is rather intriguing if I say so myself; however, I think that the stat mechanic is to basic. At 55% resourcefulness I passed every single resourceful test I had, ( conversely I failed every single faithful test at 45%) I think that the stat system needs to be more complex than just is it above 50%. A different problem ( more of a personal thought really) is the romance subplot, I see this in every single choice of games release a lack of a multiple partners option. I want to feel as if I am the protagonist and I want to deal with the effects of my actions, in the world or in my character's personal relationships. I would like to see an option where I could convince Brigid AND patch AND Silvia to date my character ( not an easy brain-dead dialogue option mind you, but a grueling drawn out process that takes surgical precision to accomplish or a social hand grenade goes off in your face.) in summary this is an awesome game that has some very human flaws, but is a gem that any role-playing fan would enjoy.

Great!
Fun story to read. I enjoyed the author's sense of humor and the plot of the story. I'm happy with my purchase. One of the better choice stories I've read.
Amazing
It was an amazing story to be a part of! Really hope for another chapter
Best hosted game I've played
This game isn't perfect, but I enjoyed it the most out of any in this genre because the choices seemed more reasonable to what I would actually choose. Worth it.
One of the best "Choice" games I've played
Just a fascinating choose your own story. What choices you make that don't have an impact on the outcome do have an impact on how your character acts and thinks, which is a big plus in terms of immersion, and the ending is great.

Very enjoyable
Terrible
This is horrible. The story itselfis incredible, intriguing and interesting. A good fantasy book. However, I paid for a fu**ing game, not a book. It gives no choice whatsoever, since the choices literally change nothing, even the dialogues stay the same. And there are pages eith several hubdreds words and not even a choice at the end. Worst ever done by Hosted games. Download this only if it's free, don't pay a penny for it, it's not worth the money

One of the best
Loved this game!!! Proper writing, great depth of characters and an original stats system. Some of the most genuinely moving writing I've come across in these types of games.
Can't recommend enough!
