First of all, thank you for still being here, and welcome to the new. Honestly, I wasn't sure you would be - seeing how the last chapter ended, but I'm glad you are.

This last week has been nothing short of overwhelming. I have got over 500 messages, and except for one they have been all positive. Thank you very much.

Next, I'd like to say to that I'm fine. I am touched by your concern, but I really am. I would not have been able to make this story if I weren't. What happened to me, happened 5 years ago. I took all the time needed to heal and came out on the other side as a better dad, friend and person. Also, I'm proud to say that my whole family did as well, and how we all tackled it is nothing short of amazing, given the tragic situation.

I know that putting references to real life in a AVN is borderline, and I was on the fence all the way up until release. I asked for the testers opinions, and sent the Beta to several other devs. They all all encouraged me to do this. Though it was not until the very few days before the release I actually took the final decision to do so, much guided by a conversation I had with Kentyrr and Stoya who also played the beta.

I still do feel bad about putting this chapter out there without having the next one ready. The title of chapter 6 reflects not only on Cece's words to the MC, but from me to you all as well. LoF is all about feelings, mostly good ones, but some bad too. Though, at least now I can say that the bad stuff is behind us, and I'll do my best to give back the good ones.

For progress, I took most of this week off, but started working on Chapter 7 last night. The image at the top is the first one you will see in the next one.

Have a nice weekend, and stay safe out there.

Thank you very very much for that chapter. It gave me a lot to think about. I'm also happy to know, that you're doing fine now. Now I'm just gonna wait for the next chapter release, so I can make myself a good cup of coffee and enjoy the story, 'cause I'm sure it's gonna be amazing)

Drifty, there is absolutely zero reason to feel sorry. Most of us understand how much work it is to put something out like you did. Noone expects you to put out 2 chapters at once within 4 months. and noone wanted to wait 8 months. ok maybe some did :-) Anyway you did right, at least in my opinion. And you gave us several months of speculating and "Is Cece really dead??!!!111 .... No....". That has to be worth something ;-) Take your time and keep going with your amazing work. Its worth every minute of waiting.

That story was amazing! Even though it hit hard in the feels from having been around it in the past. It is an amazing story and keep up the good work!

I love that you dared that step. I cryed and was struck deeply, mostly couse alot of her is me, and your focus to be real feels and ar nessesary couse this needs to be more focused on this seriously. It waked me hard on an important thing i too often forgett bout myself too, thi stuff bout overanalist, oferthink stuff. I realised that her words created like a new mantra in my mind when im startin to do that, somethin i too often do, so thanx again for being real on important stuff.

As long as you're telling a story that YOU would like to hear, you will always find an audience that will appreciate it. Be authentic, don't hold punches, do not concern yourself with how others will react. That is a recipe for great stories and you are on the right track. So keep being you, I, as well as I'm sure many others, are really gratefull for that!

The reference made it so much more impactful for me, and I think it was done masterfully. Breaking the 4th wall before and after the reference really carries it. Still thinking about this game a lot. Thank you for sharing.

At first the last chapter upsetted me a lot. Not the story itself though, but rather the emotional memories, which it brought up to light again (both good and bad). Then when the initial shock settled down and after sveral hours/days of thinking and reliving, your story push me to cope with my past. For which I cannot be thankful enough. I wish you all many good memories in future.

Hey! Man! Don’t beat yourself up. This was superbly done. It remind of an other visual novel I like but that really hit my badly because of multiple death references, post traumatic stress and cancer references. But in you case, you gave a clear warning and it was not so bad. I even think it was positive how the MC was not giving up and still doing his best. The saddest part about it, is learning that this was inspired by a real life experience you have. I wish you the best. And I’ll continue enjoying and waiting for you to provide the best visual novel I have ever seen. And don’t ever stop with your stupid jokes. I love them so much.
