The Golden Rose: Book One

Game is good. Story is interesting. I find exchanges between main team party members as refreshing and genuine. There were few times when I thing options which you could chose wasn't described clear enough and I mess a bit but thankfully it didn't really destroy relationships between characters. The thing which was a bit annoying tho was one chapter where we had to experience city alone. It would be a lot of better if we could choose if someone could join us during it. At least thats how I felt during it because that part was very long and I missed interaction between them. But overall I definitly enjoyed this game.

MIND. BLOWING. I bought this game on a whim to fill the void after playing Wayhaven, and boy, I’ve been left speechless. It made its way quickly to the top as my favorite CYOA. The world is incredibly richly described, making it easy to lose yourself in it - whether you're exploring the suffocating depths of dark caves or enduring the scorching heat of the bustling city market. The characters are unique and dynamic, responding significantly to the choices and stats of the MC. Furthermore, the romance is written in a way that perfectly suits my taste (Hadrian my beloved <3). Speaking of choices, this is literally THE CYOA that truly captures the concept of Choose Your Own Adventure. I've never seen so much customization for the MC, thanks to the vast number of selectable choices. I eagerly await Book Two and hope to replay Book One several times before then, in order to explore as many different outcomes as possible and discover events I haven't experienced yet. My first run lasted about 28 hours. Please give this IF a chance, or at least play the available demo to see if the detailed writing style appeals to you.

这部优缺点都挺明显的。不幸的是choice of game有编辑，但hosted game大多没有编辑，只靠作者自己拿捏文本。这不就是典例，作者的问题是环境描写真的过于详细且罗嗦了啊啊啊啊，有些内容真的可以适当删减。故事背景和罗马帝国有关，主角似乎是某贵族的后裔（因为开头那段太罗嗦了我直接跳过笑死）。就像另一条评论说的一样，有点龙腾世纪起源的味道，主角和队友之间的banter生软味很浓，三人小队组团探险的故事。至于具体发生了什么我很难概括，因为看完后大脑已经淹没在无尽的环境描写里，想不起主线发生了什么。这还只是第一部，不知道作者打算写几本，互动小说都是几年起步的，害怕等系列大坑的建议谨慎购买，苯人就安详地在坑底躺平了

A complete waste of time. Never have I read so many words that say so little. Literally thousands of words and dozens of choices about the precise way you would like to smile at a cat and horse, and yet every time an impactful story moment arrives you are whisked along with little to no control over its outcome.

Wow, I loved this game so much, this is my favorite Choice of Games game ever now. I want Book Two lol, take my money please!

It's definitely a slow start with lots of world building, but I was never bored. I really enjoyed the mysterious supernatural elements and the diverse cast of characters. Now that the stage is set, I feel the pressure is on for the author to deliver an exciting sequel.

Absolutely amazing. I love that you could have multiple levels of platonic and romantic relationships. I will be thinking about this for a while and looking forward to the next one.

Best IF game I've played by far. This one and "I, the Forgotten One" are my forever favorites. The story, the characters and the MC are all spectacular. I can't wait to see Beka and the kitten again in the second book!
