Mirror Flower

I cried actually. I wish the MC the best so much. My baby. Neither Shàngguān Lóng nor Chúnyú Xióng deserves her. Great story man. Ten out of ten. I do wish that COG and Hosted Games encourages their authors explore darker themes such as these, especially since its the perfect medium to provide multiple perspectives on a nuanced issue. The writing is beautiful btw. I aspire to be like you.

oh man okay so like i said i came here to play Mirror Flower after playing the demo for Mulberry Fields and oh my god i am absolutely wrecked. once again your style when you write sexual scenes is so fucking raw and visceral and i had to like step away for a bit to cry for the MC because good god give this girl a break PLEASE god give her a break

LIGHT SPOILERS BELOW...MIND THE LINES...

_(:3」∠)_ SPOILERS START HERE

after doing some digging on your tumblr, i know that the Chúnyú Xióng ending is canon; that said, i really cannot bring myself to play it because of how horrified and pained i felt for the MC after his ~little visit~ and i can only imagine it gets worse because well. frankly. this guy is an awful human being LOL so if you set out to write a guy that is almost effortlessly detestable and probably off the shits in a negative way...YOU SUCCEEDED AND DID SO WELL because i could see the writing on the walls when things started to sour for him and MC and it only got worse and worse with each scene, every venomous word drenched in honey that came out of his wretched little mouth. -10000/10 human being, but 20000/10 would put his head on a pike again. god i wish i was a character in this IF just so i could do it my own goddamn self. move the fuck aside Shàngguān Lóng

speaking of him! oh Shàngguān Lóng how I also wish to kinda punch you in the face. like. trust me, I understand exactly why he did what he did. but he said it himself: it was cowardice. i could feel myself seething when he dared to come to MC after turning his back on her and condemning her to decade and change of torture and suffering. still, i take some🤏 comfort in knowing that his intentions and affection were genuine. still super punchable tho LOL that said i just think it's funny that the only male royal that I didn't utterly disdain was him and it's only because he's not a rapist and even then he was on thin fuckin ice until the very end of his ending. i simultaneously sympathize with him for his hesitation and relative powerlessness when i'm trying to view things from a safe, more objective distance..................while also being fueled with the fury of a thousand suns when i remember what MC went through and the anguish she likely felt as a result of being abandoned by the one and only person she had left while in her most dire moment (💢◕▽◕)ง

Ahem. Anyways.

∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ SPOILERS DONE~

As an author, you really have a knack for making your audience feel.

And if I wasn't making myself clear, I am commending your writing and I very much found this story and experience to be a worthwhile one.

I'm still feeling a bit raw and will definitely need some "aftercare", probably in the form of something more lighthearted, but commenter Kyatzli put it well : "There aren't a whole lot of IFs that go into darker subjects, and this one definitely does it well." Indeed it does it well! So well! So much so that I have to go lie down on the floor real quick and cry for MC!!!

Looking forward to whatever fresh batch of sweet suffering and joy you're cooking up next! >W<

This is... really, really good! There aren't a whole lot of IFs that go into darker subjects, and this one definitely does it well.

also, I got the Shangguan Long ending, and I gotta say... 
While it's maybe not an 'everything is perfect forever' happy ending, it's definitely
happier than I was expecting from the lead up.
