Thanks for the update. The update this time around felt like an interregnum in the main Western civil war plot. Mixing in the Elf sideplot and introducing more of the maternal family was definitely a good idea. Banging Josephine was a 10/10 scene, I wish we can revisit Valeria and 'do her' the justice a milf like her deserves.
I'm just waiting for the day when my MC wakes up just as Isis is plunging a knife in to his throat...she's got those stabby eyes..and then the vision where he saw her as a medusa about to bite him...ooh boy, can I has a divorce? :oops:
I feel like an otome isekai Female Lead doing a time rewind of their marriage. You have to stay long enough for your kids to be born. Lazy Monkey has me by the balls after that future vision of the daughters.

It's gonna suck to have my throat slit by my wife Isis but atleast my daughter will avenge me. :HideThePain:

What about the elven teacher that was with him in exile hmm? =P
What about her? Did you see her actually trying to teach him elvish? All we know is that she taught him a few magic tricks and we saw her lead him through a memory. She spoke a few words of elvish in his presence, but never said what they meant.

The question should not be, why didn't he learn elvish, but why didn't she teach him. Perhaps she tried, but gave up when he showed no interest; perhaps (for some reason or other) she never tried at all. We don't know and probably will never know.

We do know that at the time we join the story, he didn't show much interest in anything other than sex and booze. He felt cast aside, and wasn't in a learning mood... about elvish or anything else they might be trying to teach him.

No we didn't see her teach elvish, but she is an elf, is a native speaker so it's one of the best characters around the mc to teach him elvish. The fact that she and the mc's mom keep the mc ignorant is intentional. The only way the mc knows the elvish language is by being self taught (scholar path). And every instance with the teacher or the mom talking evlish, they're scheming behind the mc's back.

Sure the letter in the chest was just a report to let the mother know how the mc fares in his exile. But their behavior is too suspicious in my opinion and I don't think they want the mc to rule (or think) independently. The aunt is pretty much the same, she only seeks a puppet ruler, nothing more.

vampire chick?
Yes, you can meet a vampire, though you don't know it's a vampire unless you're on a certain path. If you want to know which path see spoiler

That is something I haven't thought about in that way, and makes a lot more sense. Every person (snake) around MC wants him to rule a certain way (in their favour):
  • Queen Mother wants him to rule favourably towards the elves;
  • Cass wants MC to do away with the Golden order;
  • The King wants MC to respect the Golden order.
Elin, Aurora, and Isis are the only ones who want to see him as king, just to be in power, not so their "sides" could prosper.

Good update, not as good as the two previous ones but still enjoyable.

My only criticism is that there is really no in game universe motive for why Elis still not clapped Elin cheeks yet. Since Chapter 2, they’ve already confessed their love for each other, and Elin even mentioned in the 0.5 update (I think) that they could have sex after her wedding.

It so happens that already weeks or months went by and they still haven’t done it, besides having every right opportunity like traveling through portals in the previous update. I understand the slow-burn relationship between the Queen and the MC, as it’s more taboo and complex. But I really don't se the picture for Elis and Elin case.

Maybe Lazy_Monkey has something big planned for these two in the future since Elin is kinda the main girl in this VN, but we have yet to see the reason those two didn't f yet.

Agreed.

As for the "vision", it's ambiguous on purpose - could be Queen Mother in the past, could be her or Elin in the future again (pregnant with MC's baby).

I mean the sisters and other ladies are all good but the affair with the mom is done way better.
Yeah, it feels so much more natural. The sisters don’t feel as close to Elis by comparison.

In the last game it was more balanced, the banter with the sister (Kira) was on another level.

In the vision, I think it’s Queen Mother. You can see that by her body, no one has thiccer thighs than her. Also the hair is more golden as compared to Elin.

In my opinion, in the "green route" Cass was supposed to be our main ally in the matter, but he goes once with Elin to see the rebels and never with Cass... The MC doesn't even talk to her once to discuss anything he learned and yet out of nowhere she arrives with an elaborate and made plan... I would like it to seem like we are playing together, but it just seems like we are her pawns...

But the part that I found strangest is, the MC arrives in the land of the "king's assassin" and has to be simply alone without being able to have any security by his side, and everyone is talking as if nothing had happened, I know they have their own problems to solve, but most of them seem to think it is just "childish tantrums" and don't even take it very seriously and simply ignore the king's son who was literally "assassinated" "by one of them"...
I agree it is super strange to go into the feuding assassins's land with no guards or additional help. The only reasoning I can see is they needed to keep some soldiers at the castle in case of an attack. And depending on your choices they could have been recovering from fighting Cass's forces. And if you sided with Cass I was surprised she went in alone. She has almost zero shot at surviving any confrontation without the MC's help.

So I feel safe pretending to be her pawn cause the danger from her is quite low when compared to the strength of the mom and potentially Elin if they went rogue.

well

i am not far into the game but ...

an annoying as fuck "stepsister" which holds a dagger at the mc's throat everytime ...
forced marriage (?) incoming ...
everyone is spying/lying ...
(and i cant make any sense of the (1st) coucil meeting - except cass on the kings seat - a foreshadowing?!)

thats the canon of the game?


btw - there are a lot wrong adressing the chars

MC kinda gets on my nerves sometimes. He acts like a Horny Ape and the girls always act like they don't want sex "But they do" well it's that way with Elin anyways and it's getting old after the first time or 2. I was hoping for more romance. He was acting this way at the beginning but i thought "oh well" Character progression maybe he won't be like that later in story and he sorta did get better but the last few chapters seems like he reverted back to being Horny Ape again. I'm almost at the point of letting Lockheart have Elin if she's going to act like that.

Well, reached the end of this update & found that the summary screen does not reflect our choices correctly.
I chose the castle tour with Valeria & at the end it tells me that I did not.
Then I went back through & turned it down & at the end it tells me that I accepted it.
WTF?

MC also appears to have miraculously learned Elvish in half an update.
At the start of 0.8 he didn't know more than a few words, they even speak "common" so that he & Elin can understand.
But by the end he's absolutely fluent & understands every single word they say.
There a fix for the castle tour bug at https://f95zone.to/threads/imperial-chronicles-v0-8-lazy-monkey.175608/post-16351361

Yeah I already got to that part. I'm just hoping it's not something that set in stone or that she wasn't talking about herself and is just a red herring. I personally can't see why she'd want to get rid of the mc anyway. She already said she wants him to be emperor so assassinating him seem counterintuitive. I mean the visions are supposed to be intentionally vague.
