Wow, what a cliffhanger. Flea /really/ didn't want to get any more involved in this after the junkyard. There must be a higher force behind this that he doesn't want to fuck with, and that's why he picked a fight. I can't quite tell if it was calculated so he could have a reason to storm out (which is fair) or simply, his true feelings of the matter coming out. To be fair, Flea doesn't feel calculating exactly, just...overwhelmed perhaps.  Sure, it was fine when it was just information that Mc wanted but soon as there were bodies involved, Flea immediately dipped. And the thing is I don't exactly blame him either! There's no true leverage MC has over him, other than an empty stomach if he strikes out, and he's managed this long without a consistent food supply. There's a lot more risk for him to involve himself than not. From what we got this chapter, Flea isn't exactly high on the food chain, he's not powerful. He doesn't have influence or connections, not even a place to live. He's just trying to get by, he has no stakes in any of it. He's just a guy, in as much as an Incubus can be just a guy, same as Mc.

Still, he didn't pull his punches, those remarks were vicious, I kinda like it. Flea's kind of made it clear he's not a fighter, and he's not picky about his partners as long as he's fed. Savvy but also not someone who will risk himself unnecessarily.  so now he's gone.

That leaves Mc with J, who is a devil who can work whatever magic to give exactly what Mc wants on a silver platter. Mc doesn't exactly have options to refuse outright without hearing more. All it depends on is how desperate they are to achieve their goals.

That aside, Flea's demeanor while he was at Mc's apartment right before the fight was quite cute. A bit of a needy pest, but isn't any stray? Has he never interacted with animals much? He seemed surprised by Tabby's behavior (tragedy that she didn't like me....i feed you every day and this is what i get?? smh)  It feels like his social life begins and ends with him getting his meal for the day and then leaving. He had companions with him when Mc went to go get him at the club, but idk, i get the feeling that they're more like party friends. A means to an end. A bit of shallow fun but not people he can really rely on.

I wonder what it'll take for him to get back on board with Mc's agenda

Hi. I'm sorry for asking. Is there any other way for me to pay other than paypal? I am from Malaysia.

Will the game come to steam?

I loved the story so far!!! All the characters are so loveable 😭😭

I have a question, how many chapters the story will have? I just ask because even though I love the story, if there are 30 chapters at one dollar per chapter it would be too much 😭

I am willing to continue paying for the chapters because I am really enjoying the plot, but I would like to know how many chapters you are planning to make before I continue buying the rest

Thank you for your attention, have a great day!

I am here after binging; your writing is truly amazing from aloners to wilder and now this. I'm just absolutely enamored with everything you write. You really deserve nothing but the best, now I'm going to go out and touch grass while I wait for chapter 3 ಥ_ಥ PS thank you for making Flea an older adult and having the option for mc to be older it's a really nice change of pace from what is usually made by people.

I am so happy to be able to read your writing again, please keep doing what you're doing. Absolutely loved the emotions in chapter 2.

Finally got a chance to read this chapter and I love it! Can't wait for more!

I need more drama with Ted. Like a trickster demon posing as him. I'm really enjoying this so far! 

a really fun detective story - love the urban fantasy setting and noir kind of pacing. hell & brimstone style demons aren't usually my favorite subject but absolutely could not pass up another story by the author of Aloners/Wilder

How many chapters will this game be?

I don't usually comment on things, as I'm a little curmudgeonly and prefer to show my support with money (you know, like the shite absent father except the female version), but I just wanted to drop a quick note to say that I'm absolutely hooked on this, and I can't wait to see more. I also want to especially commend you and thank you for giving us an MMC in their mid-thirties, it's really appreciated it. I can't tell you how many times I see love interests in their early 20s and have to nope out of there, cuz not to yuck anybody's yum, but I'm too damn old for that shit and can't relate at all.

oh wow, i randomly decided to look you up because i was in a nostalgic aloners mood and this was an absolute TREAT of a surprise!!! i love this fucking disaster of a demon so much already, i cannot WAIT to keep blowing his mind by being nice to him and not putting up with his self-deprecating shit >:) looking forward to june (and if it takes longer, that's okay!), super curious to see where the business with J will go and also how flea's gonna come back to the mc from that argument once he's cooled off bc jesus, dude, i almost got hurt for real, he sure knows how to hit where it hurts! absolutely delicious >:)

also, out of curiosity, can demons change their appearance, besides the chimera thing? like, does flea deliberately look like he's in his mid-30's (or its demonic equivalent, i suppose, should they age differently), or is it a reflection of his actual age?

Great chapter! Flea is quickly worming (haha) his way into my heart. On god if i have to tie him up and MAKE him happy i will.

I love Flea but he is such a mean-burger xD I hope he can 'rescue' us from J, I don't want to lose anything precious after death... I'm looking forward to the third chapter :D

(I love to praise our demon xD)

hi. just finished the first chapter. so far i really enjoyed it. some questions:

1.) does decisions from chapter 1 carry over? if so, does this happen automaticly?

2.) do you have a rough release schedule/"roadmap" to share?

3.) will there be future, seperate chapters or will this chapter be updated with future ones? if there are future seperate chapters: what will the cost?

a suggestion: i dont know, where you want to go with the story, but maybe you could add a character desrciptions besides the text. nothing complicated, somthing like "You are X, a female cis-woman with female genitalia." and depending where you want to go some additional informations like how the PC deals with fights (aggressive/combatitive VS diplomatic/peaceful). maybe something similiar for flea too?

anyways really like the story. continue with this quality.

the best thing I ever read for a long time thanks, and welcome back!

*gets really close to the microphone* I love Flea so much. 

YAAAAAAY~

seeing this is made me immediately look up how to get a visa card to buy this in my third world country

Rattling the bars of my cage until chapter three comes out.

Ahhh I just want to get into Flea’s head!! It’s SO, so good. Wish I could sleep until chapter three comes out. 

I DONT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE EMOTIONS.
It was so good omg.. I need moree. I cant wait for the next ep.. especially after THAT ending
