one of the best idle rpg games I've ever played. tooltips everywhere for just-in-time information. very well done.
What I would suggest for a future update is to have class-specific weapons, like have swords be equipped to the adventurer and warrior classes only, bows for the archer, and staves and rods for the priest.
I don't understand ability Linking. There was a brief description in the tutorial, but it's not clear whether I need to optimize it or have any control over it at all. Haven't seen any UI controls, so I assume it's passive. Anyone explain?
There is a bug when you are stuck in the underworld where if you go to achievements and click on a fight it will take you out of the underworld early. But for me it deleted the Ballad of Champion so that I can no longer select it unless I go to achievements, so I wont be able to go back to the starting town!
There seems to be an issue with the Sturdy Shell item resetting to base stats removing the slot addition and slotted gems... I've lost quite a few Perfect Adamantine Opals
Aside from this issue this game is quite fun. Definitely favourited and cannot wait for new content. Thank you so much!

I really like this game but everything seems so slow. Like, the speed up should be the normal speed.
developer response: Hey, just wanted to let you know that in the latest update I made a change so that the 2x speed is no longer tied to offline time. You can freely toggle between 1x and 2x speed.
Nice and fun game. There are a lot of original mechanics and it seems quite balanced so far, bravo! The UI should be reviewed though, it has great functionalities (all shortcut links are great) but it's too confusing and dispersive.
Wow this is something really different than expected actually. It has a story that is interesting, and more depth to its combat systems than is strictly necessary in an idle game.
It really is like playing a "real" ARPG, but without the parts where you grind endless hordes yourself.
Is there a way to reset your save?
developer response: Hey, there is now a 'Reset Game' button towards the bottom of the Settings page.
add in a reset progress button!
developer response: Hey, I will add one in the next update.
