There is no discord currently, but it is something I will look to make at some point. If more people say they want it then that will probably be sooner than later.

Thank you for the review! There is no romance planned.

In real life I'm pretty sure it depends on the deck being used as there can be some variance but here, since there are only 22 cards that Emir is using, there 'should' only be one unique copy of each card.

Yes, though I don't have much time to write currently so the next chapter is expected to be out in the next few days.

No harem

So, there will be elements of romance but it's not a major theme or focus of the story and it *probably* is not going to end in an actual relationship (I won't say whether it will or won't because of spoilers, but I will say to not expect it).

There is no full-fledged romance in this story.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you have enjoyed it :)

Thank you, I appreciate your encouragement :) Don't worry, I haven't dropped it, just put on hold briefly as I had university work to focus on. Now that that's out of the way, chapters should resume soon.

17 at this point

Much appreciated :) Also for anyone who might continue to read beyond the locked chapters and is concerned about romance, I'm not going to say whether it's going to happen or not and will only tell you this: Just don't be convinced too soon when you don't know how things are going to turn out.

I like Emir more than 90% of the girls in this (doesn't sound believable because there are a lot of them but it's true)

Don't think it's easy for me either :) Though at this point I feel as though I've grown resistant to the cringe

Waking up to this comment made my day Thank you very much :)

Thank you :) The simplest answer I can give you without spoilers is that there are indeed things he won't be able to ask about (not going to say here what exactly it is, though)

Funny you mention that. Something makes me like the idea :)

I cannot comment on this... Guess you will have to wait to find out.

The Wardens - MC still has memory of being with them as it was the majority of his childhood, just not of the incident to allowed him to escape.

Chances are that it won't be a harem (I am not sure if I could write a good harem in the first place). If it ends up being one, it definitely won't be the typical kind of harem (max of 2 or 3 fl, mc would only end up with one of them).

Like I mention in the Author Note, it might be recommended to wait a couple of weeks until there are more chapters and things get going plot-wise before you start so that you don't have to wait to know if you like it.
