Two more bar is now in green, so at least there's more progress (If the green bar really meant it). As for the other routes, I may as well assume that the translator already done with QC (Or rather inserting the edited and QC-ed text into the in-game files) seeing that the Discord chat screenshot from NowItsAngeTime Youtube shorts that has the translator said he already inserting the text for Licia's chapter with the chat is from April 11th. There's also one of the user in Youtube did ask the Eustia guy, and the guy mention that he'll try to release it soon and sometimes in this year, although looking from how it currently going I may as well expect early 2024 release at best, because real life business can't be predicted easily. Of course though if we can see it somehow released in this year (Possibly as the Christmas prize), then good for the translator.

I'll go ahead and begin with an intro to my current experience with Light Novels and Web Novels in Japanese. For the last two years, I've been reading them at a rate of 60-100 chapters a day (faster in the case of below-average size chapters). I primarily read fantasy with a side of science fiction (no, not just isekai, though I love isekai). This isn't hard, because fantasy and science fiction make up over three-quarters of all the LNs and Web Novels out there. This is a bit ironic to my eyes, since it was the reverse with VNs, where romance and slice of life made up over 90% of all JVNs. The great thing about web novels is that you can read them at your leisure without paying anything, and if you like it, most good authors have a patreon you can contribute to or get a light novel release you can buy to put money in their pockets. The downsides are that there are usually three bad web novels for every one good one, and even the good ones usually have problems with the writing (a web novel I read recently used incorrect kanji for common phrases in a number of cases, making it annoyingly hard to read). The good thing about Light Novels is that they generally have added and more refined content compared to the original material, and they generally also come along with at least some pictures to help you get an idea of what the characters look like (some Japanese authors just suck at describing character appearances beyond hair color and skin color). The downside is that light novels are generally more expensive than standard paperbacks or ebooks and rarely go down in price even after years or even decades have passed. As such, they are often a huge burden on the pocketbook (in particular, a lot of LN series give you very little content for each $10 volume, as little as one hundred fifty short pages in a lot of cases, which is totally not worth it). The upside of web novels in terms of content is that web novels tend to be more freeform and creative. However, in exchange most are never completed and many of them just trail off because the writer runs out of ideas. This is opposed to Light Novels, where I've definitely experienced situations (repeatedly) where authors are just continuing out of momentum and the story never goes anywhere... which is horrible when you are already overpaying for novels that are far too short for the money in question. It is pretty common for LN series to run to 20+ volumes and yet never really get anywhere...

Try again. I made a few changes. It should be fixed now.

will be fixed soon, waiting for response froom sinned

As announced on Twitter and Discord, the release of "Roses Of Love" on the Valve store is very close, as I was finally able to open a bank account. The release date will be decided between October and November, since I hope to have at least Hoshiko's route finished by those months. Now, this may bring a number of questions from the public which I will answer to the best of my ability. Below I will leave a list of questions and answers that you may be asking yourself. Is this the full version of the game? Yes and no, it is an early access version. It is seriously the second version, but it will have the full story. How is it different from the full version? Basically, an improvement and change in the game interface. A change of layouts, since the current ones are temporary. Are the game saves in the current early access version compatible? No, the structure and code of the game was made from 0. Therefore, the current games cannot be exported. Earlier it was mentioned that the "Twin Roses" route (currently available route) would not be available in the second stage of early access, why? Because of the short time to release the game, and because it's just me working on writing and programming the game, I decided it would be best to remove this route from the equation temporarily. But don't panic, it will be added as DLC. Why two early access versions? To see the reaction of the players during development, although there is already the demo for it. I considered that I could improve and take into account some points that people recommended me to improve the final product. Besides, the game is maintained thanks to the sales and this way I will be able to acquire the original assets for the game. Why was the release of the game delayed? There are currently two factors that prevented me, first a bank account. Not being able to acquire one triggered this mess of not being able to launch the game. The second was problems in my country. Should I buy the game now or wait? If you decide to wait, you may buy the final edition. And this will cost 14.99/15 USD depending on the store. If you buy it now, or during the release of the second early access version you will be able to purchase it for $3. Although, on a personal recommendation, the final product would be the better choice!

I could wait 3 more years Anyways, we're just ironing out some images and it'll be scheduled soon for releasing. *fingers crossed*
