Hello, and welcome to the insanity I've created! A Dove's Tale was supposed to be a simple fanfiction to get me back into writing, and it has turned into so much more. Now, there's A Beast's Tale, which is the same story written from Chevalier's perspective, and I'm formulating ideas for A Warped Tale, which will contain the same characters with an alternate storyline, plus A Swan’s Tale, which will be a prequel about Evelyn…
These stories have taken way too much of my time and attention, and they're now my favorite storyline I've written. What a shame it's all just fanfiction. Maybe, someday, I can get permission to publish? Or the copyright will expire, and then I can publish? Oh, well. I can dream.
For those of you who don't know, Ikémen Prince: Beauty and Her Beast is an otome game created by Cybird. Otome games are choose-your-story romance games for women centered on handsome men, often with a reverse-harem scenario, where the main character is somehow landed in a group of possible love interests. The artwork is typically anime-style, and the games often contain problematic content, as many women basically use these like soft porn, but the Ikémen games have really good stories, strong world lore, complex characters, and minimal explicit sexual content, comparatively speaking. So, while I don't like explicit sexual content, these games are playable and enjoyable for me. Obviously. Since I've written two massive fanfictions based on Ikémen Prince and am planning a third.
Other Ikémen games I've played are Midnight Cinderella (no longer available), Ikémen Revolution (no longer officially supported), Ikémen Sengoku, Ikémen Vampire, and Ikémen Villains. The older games are less explicit than the newer games, and the two newest ones, Vampire and Villains, are really dark, so I didn't play them long. I've sprinkled some references to Midnight Cinderella throughout my fanfictions, as that was the original royalty/princess Ikémen game.
This book is for me as much as it is for any interested readers. My reference material for ADT has become very lengthy and needs to be better organized so it can remain helpful to me. Also, when I switch my focus to working on my original stories, I can chip away at this and set myself up well for my next project in this family of fanfictions.
