I'm not an English speaker, I'm using the translator, but, being a person who doesn't usually get hooked on a story easily, I can say that I LOVED IT. The interesting background, the magic system is incredibly entertaining, the tension of not knowing how much your decisions will influence the future, this game has really made me pause and have to reflect on what decision to make haha, the characters are interesting and I like that the romance develops gradually and naturally. Anyway, it's pure art. As a last comment, X is just another level, ZIRYAN PLEASE, 5 MORE MINUTES AT LEAST
Completely unrelated to how beautiful and engaging this story is (and how much I absolutely LOVE it), but every single play-through I always find myself kinda wanting Tujo- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I think its good to ally with the historians as they record much of the history and have dirt on the nobles which we may need for the Steward W later on due to the info from chapter 12, as for the merchant I thought it would be beneficial to let Kham deal with it since, it gains favor from her and her mother in the sense of a debt to us and does please Kham which is beneficial but that aside, up to you I mean it seems being on the political opposite of the Peris, especially Kham's mother may lead to more trouble down the line after this. However, it still in progress so hard to say but best to get as many allies and build relations as that might help for a good ending and also with the benefit of the past crowns relations with the Peris to keep up political relations.
A side note though
Spoiler...
you do seem to also get close to her if you pick a certain option and depending on your previous choices she will come to find you a "kindred spirit" in her words such as herself
sooo brownie points 👍 :)
however say you pick another option you do find out she may have more knowledge than she may lead on perhaps :^
Its all very in the air so you do what you want though you do get a bit more insight into some of her opinions if you play D's route
this is a huge achievement. the setting is vibrant and breathing, the descriptions are enthralling--its very immersive. also i can pine for other men just as i do irl.
SPOILER!!! In chapter 9 when dealing with minister of justice has anyone been able to choose the third option? I've tried everything other than completely snubbing the nobles in order to unlock it.
I: told everyone about the assassination attempt, planned a public coronation (open to public and nobles), had festivities only for the public. Not sure if those are all the options you get, but choose ones which benefit the public the most.
Potentially spoiler, but it's just discussion about who would be the assassin.
Kham getting more sus in each chapters, but Idk, maybe because I decided to not trust her at the first place. But, consider this; why peris want to assassinate the Crown, if Crown was chosen by the spirits? The personafication of the nature itself. Peris are part of nature. At least, that's my theory. An IF theory. She getting even more trustworthy when I chose not to suspect her. I owe her an apology after these 3 years🤣
In chapt 12 it depends but apparently our favorite sentient tall bacon tree might be holding something from us soooooooooooooooo it is in the balance of what is Kham's possible further motive here
When I decided to trust Kham by choosing choices that not suspect her, she really friendly to MC. Even ... (Spoiler)
Showing her human form. So Idk if it's part of her facade, but after playing both route (trust and no trust), it seem like she just PLAYING with our suspicion if we don't trust her and only being genuine if we trust her. Typical fae behavior 🤦♀️
AHHH EVERY INTIMATE MOMENT WITH X MAKE ME GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEETS. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! Thank you so much for this beautiful work qeresi and happy New Year to you too!
could you provide some help on what gets the high romance with X? i've tried many things but seem to be stuck on "your relationship has been unsteady lately"
I think you gotta pick the choices where you placed trusted in him that he will be back and respected his boundaries, I hope this could help and goodluck on getting it!!!!
this guy's right about the value of eggs tho lol. they're so expensive where i live and i loved this little bit, it was hilarious! happy new year, readers and qeresî! <3 will be replaying and trying my hardest to get high romance for all four ROs, wish me luck i'm actually struggling sm :')
I'm late like 3 daysss. Literally played every ROs while waiting back then so to indulge myself, I will be playing from the start. Thank you author for this storyT^T
Just played X's route and... Could the Steward not arrive one day later? Or just an hour? ToT Poor Ziryan tho, always being the messenger and interrupting MC's moments with LIs
BARKING GROWLING FRTHING AT THE MOUTH KICKING MY EET TWIRLING MY HAIR THE HIGH ROMANCE R ROUTE OMYGOD MY ELUSIONS ARE FED I SHALL NEVER BE STARVED GAIN THIS WILL LINGER IN MY MEMORY FROM YEARS WHEN I TELL YOU MY JAW DROPPED /gen
when i first found this game i wasnt really into the interactive novels but this has made me a LOVER of them.
i was originally going to choose dara as my first LI but xelef pulled me in IMMEDIATELYY like i loved his energy and the immediate display of chemistry between the crown and him.
the scene in the tower and the scene in the newest chapter (CH12) have me completely enthralled with him, more so than i already was before, i was smiling like an idiot the entire time, im so excited to see how our relationship with him develops through the story, and i PRAY he courts the crown at some point (he probably will) and i hope we have a scene that goes uninterrupted for once lol.
THANK YOU!! qeresî for sharing your idea of this story with the world because it is so well done! im looking forward to more chapters from you <3.
edit; I PLAYED DARAS ROUTE AND ITS SO HEART WRENCHINGLY SWEET I MIGHT SOBB ugh i need the crown and dara to get it GOING already </3
i literally can't bring myself to stray from d's route it's too addicting 😩😩 and also yea it's like ziryan hates us bc why is his timing so ass ONE SECOND ONE SECOND IS ALL I NEED WITH MY WIFE ZIRYAN 😭😭
That was honestly really sweet, the forehead kiss?! Now i wonder what happens in low romance but in high romance? Ziriayn whyyyy
Now~ let me go and play ch12 but D's route tho X's route will take a while since i had just one save which i accidentally deleted ToT (more than a while honestly since it's already tomorrow?)
Now I'm really happy that i stayed up late THE CHAPTER IS OUT
Just started playing the new chapter (R route)
And well /Spoiler\ .................I'm just on the cheek kiss don't know what happens next but it's so cute ToT Also Ziryan... Not again- (yeah i kinda did all of the routes up to ch11) But the kiss happened so i can't really be mad
I first played this game in June (2024) and i absolutely loved it! i kinda forgot to look if the game has and update since like November, but today i was just on itch looking for something to play since i was bored and saw A Tale of Crowns so i went to check if new chapter is out... AND IS COMING OUT TODAY- I'm honestly so excited.
Now I'll go replay all the routes until the chapter is out
(Just realised it may not be 28th where the author? [Qeresî] Is so it may be on 29th or in night for me ToT BUT IT WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT)
Hey! I played the game some time ago so I'll go check what i did so i can like tell you but i know it probably has something to do with the decisions before D is leaving
I just checked it and I don't have a safe before D left so i may tell you how to do that later since I'm going to replay D's route from the start
saw this post that guided me for options past chapter four and this one for before that. i just tried to push our forbidden romance basically. D briefly feels unsteady in ch8 w/ the nobles but we reassure them when we talk to them next.
Hi! Can't go to the specifics as the author discourages guides and such to fully experience the game. But the way it works is to get to know the RO, basically respect their boundaries, and fulfill your role as the Crown thst mostly aligns with how the RO views it.
For D, what mostly works is to choose options that respect their sense of duty, but with a balance of showing interest beyond them being your general. I hope you find this helpful, even though it's vague.
guys please help i just played this game (im still in chapter one) and i saved it. unfortunately my web refreshed itself and i want to restore the game but it doesn’t want to load 😭 or is it because the update? im sure my wifi signal is good
OMG FOUND THIS 2 DAYS AGO AND IT WAS SO GOOD I HAD TO BUY EARLY ACCESS I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THE STORY AND CHARACTERS THIS IS AMAZING !!!!! I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE WAY DELAL WAS WRITTEN AND EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT HER THAT EVERY TIME I TRY TO REPLAY FOR OTHER ROUTES I KEEP COMING BACK TO DELAL!!! [ALSO ZIRYAN UR TIMING!! WHY ?!?!?!] ANYWAYS, I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE FOR THIS STORY
Technically, X is 28 and the Crown is 25 right now because X's birthday has already passed and the Crown's is still coming up in the current year the story takes place in, but otherwise yeah there's a 2 year difference between them!
As for the others, R is 23 (turns 24 later in the year), D is 30 (birthday has already passed) and A is 26 (turns 27 later in the year).
Thank you so much, I was planning on going through D's route next (currently going through A's first. Even though theyre the royal protector id die for them) , and knowing theyre 30 (i am 29 irl) makes it so much better.
I don't think ive played/read many IF where the RO's were all similar to my age irl.
Just a suggestion, but do you think you could make an option that goes straight to CH12? (of course with quick character creation) Sorry if im asking for too much.

We love Ziryan....just maybe not as a romantic block...but its okay...the boy is trying his best 🥺
Completely unrelated to how beautiful and engaging this story is (and how much I absolutely LOVE it), but every single play-through I always find myself kinda wanting Tujo- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
this is me rn, its my first playthrough and im only at chap 3 but mannn, Tujo is smt to me
New chapter is great!
SPOILER
Did anyone choose to ally with the historians?
Or to eithet take the merchant to court or use as leverage? Does this affect relationships?
eh....kinda depends.
a bit of a spoiler
view rest and scroll if you don't mind such.
I think its good to ally with the historians as they record much of the history and have dirt on the nobles which we may need for the Steward W later on due to the info from chapter 12, as for the merchant I thought it would be beneficial to let Kham deal with it since, it gains favor from her and her mother in the sense of a debt to us and does please Kham which is beneficial but that aside, up to you I mean it seems being on the political opposite of the Peris, especially Kham's mother may lead to more trouble down the line after this.

Hi! I recently got into this game knowing the chapter 12 is coming out within hours (!!!).
I just played through D’s route and by the end I was like, “wow this is angsty” not realizing we were UNSTEADY the whole time :((
Could someone please send me a guide on how to have high romance with D? I’ve tried everything haha. Thank you so much!!
i just learned high/low relationships were a thing :(
i'm going to replay and see how it goes lol
Hey! I played the game some time ago so I'll go check what i did so i can like tell you but i know it probably has something to do with the decisions before D is leaving

WHY ?!?!?!] ANYWAYS, I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE FOR THIS STORY
Oh yes i absolutely agree. Ziryans timing is THE WORST
frrr like don't get me wrong love ziryan but please ur killing me here 😞😞😞
How old are all the RO's? i apologize if this is said in a FAQ on your tumblr but i do not have an account and cant see it.
i know the MC is 25 and X said theyre 2 years older, at 27 but how old are the others?
Technically, X is 28 and the Crown is 25 right now because X's birthday has already passed and the Crown's is still coming up in the current year the story takes place in, but otherwise yeah there's a 2 year difference between them!
As for the others, R is 23 (turns 24 later in the year), D is 30 (birthday has already passed) and A is 26 (turns 27 later in the year).
Thank you so much, I was planning on going through D's route next (currently going through A's first. Even though theyre the royal protector id die for them) , and knowing theyre 30 (i am 29 irl) makes it so much better.
I don't think ive played/read many IF where the RO's were all similar to my age irl.
Just a suggestion, but do you think you could make an option that goes straight to CH12? (of course with quick character creation) Sorry if im asking for too much.
There are more than 50 variables you would need to set in order to have a functioning save for CH12, so yeah, not really feasible.
oh ok thanks.
Hello! I've got a quick question. Could someone please tell me what the cuneiform in Chapter 10 in that one R scene means?
nm i thought it meant 'death'
Nope ;)
prithee peace, would you tell me and cease my tireless search for i cannot find these two thingies in one word
i keep getting 'imdu' which means 'dew' and the second thingie is wrong iTS WHY IS THIS DIFFICULT
jokes aside this is an interesting rabbit hole
