As an Iraqi woman myself, this game makes me feel so seen. All my life I've felt disappointed at the lack of accurate Middle Eastern representation and I was so overjoyed when I found ATOC :)
The writing is beautiful, immersive, and captivating. Even with my short attention span, I could not stop reading. The balance between fantasy and romance is perfect. The dialogue is charming and incredibly funny (the argument about olives and cheese makes me laugh every time I read it). It took me a while to decide on which route to follow first because the LIs are so amazing (ended up starting with D because I love a slow burn!). They all feel so authentic with their own ambitions, boundaries, and realistic reactions. I love that none of them are obsessed with the Crown and continue to have a life outside of serving them. I genuinely love the Crown since they feel like a character of their own and not just a self-insert for the reader.
I've already recommended this game to many of my friends and I will definitely come back to play future chapters :) Cherry, the work that you're doing is absolutely incredible! Please remember to take care of yourself and I hope 2023 is an amazing year for you <3
