Thanks so much for getting us 1/3 of the way there! I'm really glad to have made it this far. I hope we can make our goal! 

Alright so today, I'm going to talk about one of the prizes! That's the light novel. Now usually a light novel is spoken about in Japanese contexts but I'm going to detail what exactly it is and how different it'll be from the original otome game.

Here! Take some opening dialogue.

Wow. How... program-ey. Believe it or not, this minor chunk contains less than ten lines of dialogue, with the remainder being voices, images and transitions.

By comparison, let's look at the light novel opening!

Using the same seven or so lines, not only does it have more exposition on Lyre's thoughts and feelings but it flows like a regular story normally would so you can read it at your own pace without the distraction of music and movement.

The next thing that should be mentioned is that Lyre has three possible personality traits on top of her base personality... so logically, the next question would be: what about her personality choices? After all, Lyre can be bold, kind, or cunning and those are quite contrasting personality types!

The solution is clear to me though:

That'll be up to you, readers and players, my lovely backers! If the Kickstarter is successful, I'll take a vote. Whichever is collectively the most popular choice will be Lyre's consistent personality in the light novel.

As far as the choices in the visual novel, the correct choice will be viewed as the default dialogue and CGs will be included... so if you prefer novel format, you'll get to read it as an ebook. I wonder if this book will get a physical form any time soon...?

Hopefully so... but we have to get funded first! Let's make it to the end!
