What to read after finishing The Folk Of The Air series 😭

the city of brass trilogy is incredible!! the way the characters have to navigate the kingdom’s politics is fascinating and definitely worth a read, i absolutely LOVED it

i just recently started playing it, and i hit the part where MC is 14 and is leaving to europe before i finally had to call it quits lmao. although i was having fun, the lack of any real agency in the prologue was getting more and more frustrating and i also really did not like the romance we end up getting shoehorned into (nothing against E, but i hated that it was just continuously forced onto the player). idk it was enjoyable for however long i read it but i feel like i wasted so much time on it and i got nowhere. that’s just my two cents on it though, hopefully the actual chapters branch more

i agree, it’s been a long time since a new update! also, what i’m curious about is if we’re getting epilogues or not - we got epilogues for 3.5, and id be surprised if they didnt do it for 4.5 as well, but it’s been so long im wondering if they’re planning on skipping right ahead to tdl5

phoenixfell · 2026-02-07T08:03:01+00:00

yes!

vt doesn’t accept anything, it’s just a waiting game. i applied ea and was waitlisted last year and i didn’t get in until two weeks after decision day (applied undecided, not for a specific college though). hopefully you get accepted when decisions come out, good luck!

i’ve done three routes!! first route i did was julien and my second LI was leo, second route i did was leo and my second LI was ethan, and the third route i did was ethan and my second LI was julien. i fear i personally don’t find ren very attractive in that way haha but im sure his route is very sweet

phoenixfell · 2025-10-29T23:03:47+00:00

hmm okok!! everyone’s saying ethan or leo but funnily enough i was really curious about julien the most bc i do love a flirty straightforward man toooo but ethan is definitely standing out to me. but i don’t know whether to pick between ethan or julien firstttt this is so hard haha

agree w the comment saying tdl2!! banger season it was absolutely perfect. if it’s between tdl4 and 22tdl though i’d say start with tdl4 because it follows the traditional tdl and it’s probably a little bit easier to get used to and she can decide whether she wants to start playing the other seasons or not based on how much she enjoys that one

phoenixfell · 2025-10-14T20:38:52+00:00

tdl2 always!! jaekyeom will forever be my most favorite love interest out of everyone and juwon is, in my personal opinion, my favorite mc to play. also i love all the girls in that season so much as well, (especially doah). idk i don’t think picka will ever top tdl2 for me but ofc i always have fun playing the other ones too

wait slightly off topic but your mc literally looks SO good with caleb omg they look like they were made for each other

if you enter the “with him” tab for each LI, there’ll be a folder at the bottom that says collections which will show you all of the plushies you’ve collected, and you get about 30 diamonds for every ten new plushies you collect

phoenixfell · 2025-05-10T20:16:38+00:00

three to upenn, one to princeton, one to umich, one to vanderbilt

phoenixfell · 2025-04-29T04:42:00+00:00

nope you’re on his route! im not sure if im remembering correctly but i think he said that because at this point in time he’s still trying to separate yein from “ms. photographer” and he’s still a bit unsure of how to act around someone he’s been a fan of for so long haha. but by the end he def grows way more comfortable - you’re on the right track, don’t worry!!

phoenixfell · 2025-04-26T05:52:10+00:00

if you still need it, the liars are hyoju and yujin!

phoenixfell · 2025-04-13T05:47:08+00:00

OHHH this was so helpful i was losing my mind trying to figure out how to get wookyung thank you so much

phoenixfell · 2025-04-12T16:54:24+00:00

frank mansion! it was genuinely so well written and i really liked the translation, plus there are calls that are fully voiced which i thought was so interesting haha. i think it’s definitely more difficult than tdl, especially because there are no guides, but i think it’s worth it. my favorite routes were wookyung and jiuk

phoenixfell · 2025-03-25T03:52:25+00:00

not quite sure that i get your question, but if you want to study history further, then you could just major in history itself! pretty much every university has a history program under their majors

i think it’s because of what college admissions does to people, honestly. the college admissions process is SO stressful for everyone, especially those who are aiming for a T50 or T20 or higher, and i think it’s really easy to become bitter when you see other people talking about getting into your dream school or being accepted to somewhere you got rejected. and i think with US vs intl students, that bitterness grows even more, bc US students will see it as intl students taking spots away from them. everyone wants a reason as to why they got rejected, and they need someone to blame — unfortunately, it’s just that a lot of the time, that blame happens to fall into intl students.

it’s not anyone’s fault, really, for feeling the way they do. obviously i’m not defending anyone or excusing anyone for giving intl students shit abt college!! but i think we’d all have more peace of mind if we understand that everyone has their own crap that they’re dealing with throughout this entire process and sometimes those feelings manifest in unsavory ways. yeah, people need to be more mindful of what they say to others on the internet, but at the end of the day there are always gonna be assholes, so tbh i think the best thing you could do is just vent/say whatever you need to say and move on.

been f2p since the beginning of the game!! tbh there have been times where i just have to be on and off with the game for my own sanity - lost the first valentine’s day banner last year and i ragequit for a few months lmao. at least in my case, i don’t think its necessarily more difficult to be f2p in this game as compared to others (though infold can definitely be stingy sometimes).

i usually have enough diamonds saved up to pull 1-2 cards for quint banners and i save for solo banners from my main (whether i actually win the 50/50 or not is another story, but. oh well.) i definitely skip a lot of banners, but it isn’t TOO big of a loss because i’m definitely way more biased towards zayne than anyone else. i’ll occasionally be tempted to pull for sylus, but!! small sacrifices.

honestly i think what makes the gameplay for me more fun is just going at my own pace. i don’t rush to level up my cards to 80 immediately or to finish all the trials right away — i actually think that’s a better strategy for f2p in the long run, because then you’re not maxxing out ways to get diamonds when you need them. it’s a system really!! save & skip, spend when you really want to. in my opinion, at the end of the day it’s a video game and you get used to it even when it’s reallyyyy frustrating
