Just played this again recently and wanted to mention a couple things. Originally I played (and replayed) as a straight female, and romanced Dara and Azad. This time I decided to play as a masculine male MC.
First, is there any chance we could get the option before the game to choose the LI's gender? I say this because I'm playing a straight male who's interested in Rozerin and Xelara, but want to keep Dara and Azad as male (and not romance them). Yet when I choose to play as a straight male they automatically become female, and the only way I can get them gendered the way I'd prefer is to choose my MC as liking both genders (which isn't true).
Second, when Xelara captures the MC for the first time, she refers to my (as I envision, handsome) male MC as 'a beauty'. Is there any chance of coming up with a different term for male MC's like 'handsome' instead of 'beauty', or even give the reader a chance to dictate if their MC is more handsome or beautiful in the MC's own opinion?
Additional note on your issue with your "masculine male" MC being called a beauty: Those are your personal hangups about how masculinity should be perceived, according to you. It does not reflect the characters' thoughts about masculinity, including the MC.
To the MC and other characters, being called and calling someone a 'beauty' or 'beautiful' is a perfectly gender-neutral compliment. To me as well, by the way, and "masculine men" I know also would be very flattered to be called beautiful. I'm not going to adjust to individual readers' tastes on what is an incredibly minor detail🤷🏽♀️
I reached up to Chapter 10 in a span of two days and that says a lot ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ I'm absolutely in love with the story, the lore, the characters (all ofc but Dara *kissy faces*)!!!
Ah, this story has taken a piece of my heart with it ♡ Thank you so much for making such an amazing world!!
Now I shall go to a corner and cry myself to oblivion—maybe scour Tumblr to console my poor heart—until the next chapter drops ><
First of all, let me congratulate you on making such an amazing VN! I can't wait for more of this beautiful VN, as always, I will keep an eye out for updates regarding to this VN.
You are such an outstanding writer, you brought me to another world and made me the happiest. In every chapter I feel like I'm slowly unwrapping my MC's deepest and truest identity. I feel very connected to the characters, to an extent where I could personally feel their emotions. I am looking forward to the next chapters!
Thank you for building the AToC world! And thank you for pouring all of your passion into this IF, your dedication and creativeness is deeply appreciated. I just can't help but love your characters.
i love the game and i want to read the table in the list you posted but it's an image and i am blind. if you'd be so kind as to write it down i'd be very thankful. thanks for the game. o and i am also getting an error Error: no valid storage adapters found. but the cookies are not blocked. any help would be appreciated.
Hi, I added alt text to the image! Let me know if it works for you now.
As for the error, if you don't have cookies disabled or blocked, it could be your browser is outdated or another problem. You could try using another web browser, and see if that works! Hopefully, that will solve your issue.
Check the FAQ for some troubleshooting to see if there's anything helpful listed on there. You're not supposed to see any code when you try to save on mobile haha.
I left a comment on this a couple years ago and I've just spent the last few days re-playing what I'd completed before and first-time-playing the chapters that had been added since then.
My comment then was positive, but I don't think I went far enough in saying how absolutely outstanding this game is. The worldbuilding, the character development, the way choices are seamlessly wrapped into the narrative -- it's all such excellent, excellent work. I loved every bit of my most recent playthrough and I could definitely see myself playing again and again just to pinpoint all the differences and nuances my choices make in how the story unfolds.
To cherry (I hope I'm not being overly familiar using your name!) I really want you to know that you've accomplished some masterful storytelling with this and you are an absolutely fantastic writer. I'm looking forward to future chapters!
Thanks so much for this lovely comment!! I always love hearing from readers who were there in the early days coming back to see all the progress the story has made so far 💖💖💖
The story is great, no doubts, I haven't gotten to the end yet, I think I got stopped either at Chapter 8 or 9's ending, but I just gotta say one thing I learned recently.
It would be Queen Nis's thirdborn, whenever the peri princess is introduced, unless Nis happens to be plural. The grammar dictator in me won't let me move on until I mention this.
My English class. I was told the only exceptions are for historical figures, as Merriam-Webster confirms in the classical figures part. Perdue Owl backs me up on that front (see here). I guess it's really just up to interpretation based on your source though, so fair play with Merriam-Webster. Keep up the good work with the writing, boss!
please i love this game so much i cant believe we got this for free 😭 your writing is so phenomenal i actually cannot this game felt so alive and vibrant and the amount of work put into the lore of it is so amazing im at a loss for words-
Xelef has my heart honestly, he's such a stubborn bastard, but he's my bastard. Another RO that I will be obsessed with for quite some time, thank you for the story as well, can't wait to see what happens in chapter 11!
I'm not fully through the game yet, but I'm stunned that this game is free?? The writing is phenomenal, I'm having such a great time reading through everything - can't wait to see what's next!
Hello Dev Cherry , I want to say Thank you for awesome work. I just finished R route's 1o chapter. It gave me that taste of romance I was looking in previous chapters and made me wanting more . I couldn't think any other things except finishing this game. I was awake last playing it . You really did write very well I can't help make everyone LI . I'm really looking forward to playing chapter 11 of R route . I pray you always a good health . Take care<3<3
hi, i'm having an issue with launching this on itch, i didn't use the website version when i first played. all of my saves are on here and when i try to launch A Tale of Crowns i'm met with file folders. one titled .itch, another titled A Tale of Crowns, and the last AToC. it doesn't launch, it just shows those file folders. is AToC no longer compatible with the itch.io app? do i need to restart on the website version?
I have no idea what's going on with the itch.io app, but the way you're describing it does sound like it might not work on the app anymore, unfortunately. I always work with the website version because the app constantly causes issues with Twine 😭
yeah, i've noticed the app gets iffy with story games. it's weird but i'll just have to suck it up and start over. AToC is like a work of art so i don't mind too much.
compared to other IFs this game feels a lot more limited in options/pushes you more into playing a specific kind of character, so it took me a few tries to be able to get into it. it's good writing but i still find the very narrow routes/complicated checks a little offputting, so i don't think i will be returning to this game once it's updated. for example i really don't like how after your crown's personality is set, you can't choose how to respond in certain situations(for example you can't be flirty with your RO if you're typically reserved and vice versa, it feels limiting). however the writing is definitely very good, i love the complexity of the characters-absolutely fantastic character building and the romance is good as well- and if you don't mind playing a specific kind of character, you'll probably enjoy this.
Yep, the Crown is their own character, not a self-insert or an OC that you made up from scratch!! They have an established backstory and an established range of personality traits, and this was a purposeful choice 💖
It allows me to give the Crown actual proper character development and a character arc, instead of what you see in a lot of other IFs where the main character is a blank slate and a passive observer that doesn't actually affect the story in any way beyond superficial dialogue 😘
Totally valid if it's not your cup of tea, glad you still enjoyed what you did read!
i cant utter nor form words properly that will be enough to describe how lovely and amazing this piece is. Ive been weeping for 4 days straight now, a day for each RO especially Daras route. This game is impeccable and nothing can ever change my opinion of it. It made me feel like i was really the Crown, that im in control over my life there and every decisions even small ones will have an impact whether if its good or a bad one. Well still, it reminds me that I, in fact have control over my life and i can change my life even with small steps. I should do what feels right to me and trust that i will do good. Your work has touched me in more ways than it should have, thank you. Ill be patiently looking forward for more :)
so i wanted less angst and decided to go for R's route but there seems to be a seen where the crown and them have tea where R would suddenly be cold towards the crown even though they have been on a good relationship before. also the stats both say that they get along well and that its unstable. i played his route from scratch on a new save
If it says your relationship is unstable then you got the low romance variant 🤷🏽♀️ You might have missed the opening scene of CH9 where your Crown shows doubts about R's ability to handle the nobles, because your relationship was checked as low since you didn't have enough romance points. That moment causes R to be closed off to you later lol.
this is the happiest 35 minutes a game i didnt even finished provided me also every single ro is hard to choose everyone is pretty nice in this game so i get a bit heartbroken why choose just one of the ro they are very well crafted(the mercenary story up to the point i played shows that he/her has a similar past to mc which i didnt uncover yet cause i didnt finish the game ever and i reseted my pc so the saves i had to use arent here so lets start fresh and hope i can refill my mug with the salty water of my tears then drink it to have no evidence*looks around with a knife to make sure there are no witnesses and notices "YOU" reading* "you there, saw,nothing." *says while pointing a knife the size of a broadsword*
I love, LOVE your writing. I love how everything is so vivid in my mind and how I can picture everything happening in the story because of your amazing descriptions. How your words make the characters, the scenery, the emotions come to life before my eyes. I love how the MC is so customizable while still maintaining an endearing personality and values of their own. I love how the story develops and diverges with our choices, it allows for plenty repetition even while replaying the same route for a particular LI. Whenever you upload a new chapter I'll find myself playing for hours through the night without noticing the sun coming up. Truly, thank you for your characters, thank you for your story and thank you for your writing, I can't wait to see what else you come up with, not only in regards to this story, but in your future endeavors as well!
always such a blast going through the different routes. i finished X's route and somehow i played it just how i wanted to and ended up getting a very satisfying end with chp 10. currently going through D's but somehow can't recreate the same outcome with X's. crying because i have to restart again lmao
This feels like it could be it's own fantasy novel series and the interactivity makes it even better. The setting is interesting and really comes alive. The characters are written wonderfully. The court intrigue and the mystery regarding the FoV is very engaging. The MC's struggles over their parents and their past never failed to elicit an emotional reaction out of me, I can't put my finger on it but there was something very real and relatable about it all despite never experiencing something similar.
I can only speak for the A path, but it always felt very naturally intertwined with the rest of the plot, seamlessly fitting into the rest of the story. I imagine that is hard to do with four separate paths, so well done.
One of the best pieces of fiction I have read online.
I'm horribily enamoured with D. It's humiliating. I'd give him the world. Maybe the stars, too. Embarrassing. Who said that. I'll be going now.
Thank you for all the work and time you put into creating this beautiful story, dev. I pushed a bunch of looming deadlines to the backburner for this, but it was worth it :)
Damn X what the hell is that, I'm tired of their sh*t smh, but good job for this amazing story!
(Spoiler)
I hope I don't regret it I take an offer to have a permanent alliance with the minister , I think it's include to have a marriage of convenience I don't mind tbh I do that bcs I wanna see X reaction and piss them off I'm petty lmfao they left us heartbroken
hii, quick question, does it say its a 'high relationship' or just 'has been progressing well' in the relationship status for you?? because i really want R's good ending desperately :_)
Well I just started this because I was bored and looking for some kinda romantic LGBT Visual Novels but I was surprised by how much I loved this. The setting, the cultural influence of it all, the magic system with inner and outer magic well the actual story line, the characters. It just clicked for me, the routes were all appealing so far and I can't wait to see how each of the cliffhangers gets resolved.
It's only switched off during the prologue and returns in CH1. Since it's literally the start of the game, there's no reason for anyone to save there lol 💀
it allows you to offer the minister a more permanent alliance, hinting that the MC will have more influence over how historians record history. i guess it's not the best choice if you want a good ending.
Hey! So, i got the high relationship with R, and basically, you need to let them confide on you, trust them to handle the nobility, don't intervene when given the choice and advise them to seek the truth around their birth parents.
Basically, trust their judgement, be their confident, and when they show insecurity, you have to pick the option that reasurres them

How did you make this game?
With Twine!! You can find the exact version and story format in the credits.
Ah yes I saw this a few days ago, but thank you! I'm loving your game!
I'm just a little scared of not getting a happy ending haha
does the magic affinity always the same or does it change regarding on your choices? also im really enjoying this so far!
There are 2 possibilities for your affinity depending on the choices you make regarding the elements in CH7!!
OMG I KNEW THE CHOICES MATTERED BUT DIDNT KNOW IN WHAT, can you tell us which elements give which of the 2 affinities? i always went for water
hi, the affinities aren't determined by the element your crown has. they are a reflection of your crown's choices.
hope this helps.
oh okok thank youu<3
I love this story!
How do you pronounce the ^, the x and the j in the names in this book? I imagine it's based on Kurdish?
See this list for reference! The names of the LIs also have their pronunciations listed beneath their names on their codex pages.
greetings from palestine.
i love the game and i want to read the table in the list you posted but it's an image and i am blind. if you'd be so kind as to write it down i'd be very thankful. thanks for the game. o and i am also getting an error Error: no valid storage adapters found. but the cookies are not blocked. any help would be appreciated.

The story was really good, it left me wanting more 🤭.

I hope MC and Xelef can stay together🥹
how is it over?
Chapter 10 😶
NAH CUZ I GOT SO HEARTBROKEN WHEN I READ THE RELATIONSHIP STATUS ;(((
This looks so awesome! Though I don't know how to save my progress on the mobile browser, can anyone help me haha
When you in the game you can see an arrow on the left side, click on it and the menu will pop open 😀
You need to read a few pages until you can save your progress
What do you do with the code on the page though ;-;
It sounds like you're running into an error!
Check the FAQ for some troubleshooting to see if there's anything helpful listed on there. You're not supposed to see any code when you try to save on mobile haha.
its soooo good i will cry

im physically crying rn omg rezan betta be safe or im throwing hands and crying my eyes out
Xelef has my heart honestly, he's such a stubborn bastard, but he's my bastard. Another RO that I will be obsessed with for quite some time, thank you for the story as well, can't wait to see what happens in chapter 11!
I'm not fully through the game yet, but I'm stunned that this game is free?? The writing is phenomenal, I'm having such a great time reading through everything - can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you for the praise!! I really appreciate it 💖💖
Is Ashaduna and Ishtiveg an allegory for Syria and Palestine?
What??? No. Where did you even get that from 😭
I'll be honest there was recency bias and bit of reaching with this one. I didn't even finish the story when I posted this 💀
Can you have a different magical affinity? I'm wondering if your magical affinity is predetermined.
See this post!
Thanks!
D got me screaming and crying holy shit. this is amazing mwahh

Aww, good luck with D's route!! And thank you for the kind comment 💖💖
This feels like it could be it's own fantasy novel series and the interactivity makes it even better.
The setting is interesting and really comes alive.
The characters are written wonderfully.
The court intrigue and the mystery regarding the FoV is very engaging.

I'm horribily enamoured with D. It's humiliating. I'd give him the world. Maybe the stars, too. Embarrassing. Who said that. I'll be going now.
Thank you for all the work and time you put into creating this beautiful story, dev. I pushed a bunch of looming deadlines to the backburner for this, but it was worth it :)
Totally understandable, D is a great LI 💖
Thank you for the kind comment!! Hope you can still catch up on your deadlines haha
Damn X what the hell is that, I'm tired of their sh*t smh, but good job for this amazing story!
(Spoiler)
I hope I don't regret it I take an offer to have a permanent alliance with the minister , I think it's include to have a marriage of convenience I don't mind tbh I do that bcs I wanna see X reaction and piss them off I'm petty lmfao they left us heartbroken
Trust me, X would not care lol. They'd simply move on.
But-but, Xelef actually likes us....*cries* bad player boy will always be the bad player boy I guess XD
I am SCREAMING, SCREAMING at the romantic scene (with high relationship for Route R) in chapter 10. My heart is bursting too, omg. I can’t—
This game is a masterpiece!! Rezan is a vision. AHHH ghsmsjskh
hii, quick question, does it say its a 'high relationship' or just 'has been progressing well' in the relationship status for you?? because i really want R's good ending desperately :_)
As far as I know (from my own saves), if it says "has been progressing well" then it means you're on a high rel.
thank you!
Yup, what I mean by high relationship is “has been progressing well; it feels like you’ve known each other for years” status.
Thank you!!
the new chapter with R's route got me giggling and kicking my feet
Well I just started this because I was bored and looking for some kinda romantic LGBT Visual Novels but I was surprised by how much I loved this. The setting, the cultural influence of it all, the magic system with inner and outer magic well the actual story line, the characters. It just clicked for me, the routes were all appealing so far and I can't wait to see how each of the cliffhangers gets resolved.
Thank you so much!! 💖💖💖
i think it's safe to say i'm in love with everyone
THE CLIFFHANGERS ARE KILLING ME AHHHHHHH
Can relate ;(
Does the save button disappear for anyone else after clicking begin the story?
It's only switched off during the prologue and returns in CH1. Since it's literally the start of the game, there's no reason for anyone to save there lol 💀
Ohhhh ok I just saw that and I was panicking cuz like it just randomly disappeared 💀
Someone know what is the hidden choice at chapter ten? The one in wich you have to give priority at the nobility to unlock it...
I do
And...? What is the hidden option and what happens if selected?
(spoilers)
it allows you to offer the minister a more permanent alliance, hinting that the MC will have more influence over how historians record history. i guess it's not the best choice if you want a good ending.
Is it possible to prioritize the public and the elites at the same time?
If I remember correctly, the author said on her blog that prioritizing both is impossible and you have to take one side.

I don't know what i'm doing wrong that keeps making my relationship with R unsteady??? Screaming, crying, throwing up
Hey! So, i got the high relationship with R, and basically, you need to let them confide on you, trust them to handle the nobility, don't intervene when given the choice and advise them to seek the truth around their birth parents.
Basically, trust their judgement, be their confident, and when they show insecurity, you have to pick the option that reasurres them
Thank you sooo much darling <3
Thank you so much too. GAH, I adore Rezan.
tysm, the closure/truth choice was damning me every time jdgdsgjiyf
