i wonder how the other two towns greet newbies?

I love this story, I’m glad you haven’t abandoned it.

go holly. can i make a suggestion for a dog for holly? a golden retriever, a really red one.

i hope holly dreams come true and more.

I like this, you've done a great job writing this so far. Can't wait until the next chapter is written. :D

I can't wait for her to see the house and attempt to fix it up XD

I like this so far. Really cute.

Awww. The opening scene was very cute, with Frank having a dog. I always react the way Holly does whenever a dog comes up to me and licks me. My own dog does that to me all the time, so I never mind. I do like the idea of Frank having a dog, as I think it gives him a cute little companion to keep him company and assuage any loneliness he might have. And I also love that Holly definitely wants a dog, too. Shy people like me and her can benefit from having fluffy animals as friends.

I'm definitely liking your depiction of Holly here (In my first file, I named her Bijou, though somehow I still don't feel satisfied. If I ever write a Trio story, I might name her either Harper, Vanessa, or Ruth). She's shy but still has some spunk in her, and her determination to make her dream come true, even if she knows that she could easily mess up if she does something wrong, shows that she's passionate and driven. I don't mind about the monthly birthdays. I personally like it better when things like that adhere to the real world. It just feels right to me. I intend on doing the same thing with my Harvest Moon stories, should I ever get to writing them, so you're not alone! Hehe. And yes, the tycoon trait is the best. Money is very important if you need stuff in the game. There's no denying that.

Anyway, another good chapter as always! I did notice one error. "Plant the wrong one doing the wrong season." It should be during instead of doing. But it's an easy fix. Hope you have a good day!

I'm liking your Holly so far! She's shy but has quite a bit of spunk.

lol I'm looking forward to the hugging later on.

Love it! Please update soon!

I was hesitant at first but you did a great job! I'll be enjoying this.

Hello! I saw this and I thought I'd stop by. This is looking pretty good so far. I like that you're taking time to set things up before getting to the real meat of things, which is good. I honestly haven't played Trio of Towns yet (though I do plan to), so I'm not entirely familiar with the characters and story yet. You're doing a pretty good job of introducing the characters so far, enough so that even people who haven't played the game can jump right in without feeling like they needed information before hand.

I do, however, feel that this chapter could be even better if you really expanded on the first scene. It's mostly just telling. I feel it could be better if you had actually shown Holly and Daryl arguing, or showing Daryl eventually relenting rather than having it all be simply told in paragraphs. Show, don't tell. It'd make this chapter feel a lot more meatier and have the decisions make more of an impact. I also noticed an extra quotation in the sentence, "Hey now, missy. "You're my guest now." It's nothing a little editing can't fix.

Sorry if that came off as kinda nitpicky. I'm working on refining my critiquing skills, so don't feel like I'm ordering you around. I really like this so far, and I can't wait to see where this goes. Anyway, I hope you have a good day, and good luck on writing future chapters!
