For those that haven't tried out James' route

Glad to hear you're enjoyed James' route! It's definitely a departure from the rest of the guys, but I hope it's still engaging. And yes, so many side characters to love! Remember: you can vote which side character becomes the 7th route once James' route is completed.

I think I like James' route the most so far. It really tickles my sci-fi bone and I am WEAK when it comes to these types of men. And tbh, the whole route is filled so many great characters that I almost hope I could romance Billius as well. Hnngh.

They are very adorable! <3

I love the story so far I'm so stuck between adoring eeyok or the younger brother of the lord I like cute characters too much!

I only recently became a Patron and I just finished reading through James' route. I love it. It's such a departure from the other routes, though. It really feels like it could be the basis for it's own game. It's got several side characters that are good enough for their own routes.

I absolutely love this route so far, I would adore a route for Læna!

Same here, couldn't have said it better myself.

As someone who's had her expectations blown away by your characterization and storytelling, I recommend/urge/BEG people to play James' route even if he's not their type! Dimitri and Caine in particular are normally not my cup of tea (the younger cinnamon roll, and the younger, almost devil-type if you will, respectively) but I ended up adoring them. Neil is still my favorite (which was surprising already considering how tired I am of tsunderes lol) but every boy so far has been incredibly well-written and lovable.

While James frustrates me, I freaking LOVE his route! The world is fantastic, and Eeyok must be protected at ALL COSTS. I hope Kaleb gets his own route one day... their entire family has no right to be so attractive, no matter what a pain in the butt James is xD

Celianna

You and me both. There's not much to like about James early on! In the second half of the story he and MC have the opportunity to bond some more :)

I personally still struggle to like James but he has very appealing design. Sometimes I'd wish the character would be more straight forward at times but regardless I like the consistency of the characters including the main character. And I just like seeing where the story is going.

Well, yes, I think James’s route, despite the fact that it’s the most heavy, is worth a try, or even play for the side character.

I was also hesitant before I started James' route, not because of his cold character (i love tsundere guys) but of the supernatural theme which is completely different than the other stories. After I finished the first chapter though, I was dying to read the rest. It's truly worth reading James' route for all the reasons written above by our fav creator. Also I cant wait when James will start having feelings for MC and see how their story will go... &lt;3

I can’t say if he’ll be my my favorite in terms of romance yet, as there hasn’t been any, but as far as plot goes, James’s route is such a departure from anything previous that I’m thoroughly loving it. For that alone it might very well become my favorite route.

You have to click "start a new route" when in James' chapter selection. The first chapter is simply already unlocked for you, but you have to set him as your main route to unlock the rest :)

All it let's me do is the first chapter.
