So? You wanna find Love? (Bah-ken Liv-en)
Author:Bacchan Livn
Summary: Each kingdom has various practices that should be evaluated an looked into in order to have a chance at finding love. Even outsiders can enter a kingdom they're unfamiliar with and have a fair shot using this guide, though it is worth noting that where you come from is important, and may need to be lied about for higher success in some places. There is also constant notes that say the author doesn't condone lying, but he needed to for evidence of success in certain scenarios. Bacchen originates from Kilosway, and orders his book based on where he traveled next. The book has had mixed reception; while an accurate representation of kingdom traditions, the morality of his study method and playing with people's emotions is still debated.
Being from Kilosway, he expresses that his analysis of its traditions is going to be more detailed than any other section, but tries to keep everything to what is necessary to know. Intentions are usually expressed publicly, people know who likes who, and this has allowed for duels to usually act as a determining factor in actually getting a partner. Though Bacchen is male, he expresses it's not uncommon for women to duel over an appealing man, so long as he isn't already invested in someone else. This is likely from how gossip works, as it is usually spread amongst women, making them the leading figures in determining these things. He doesn't provide any details on how to increase the odds of winning a duel, but he does offer advice in asking local groups of women about where interests lie, as they are unlikely to hide information, even to an outsider.
The hardest section to write about was Berg, as it takes a lot of time to settle in and plant oneself into a job. The only way to speed up the process is to claim to be an adventurer, as that's a role that is easy to enter without question. For the sake of properly analyzing Berg's structure, Bacchen took many roles over the places he travelled, from a miner in the mountains to defender of the woods, he never chose easy alternatives. The time was the only real issue, as Bacchen found himself naturally being viewed as interesting by locals for his work. Being good at what you do is the best method, but there are some problems, as options are usually limited to the people who find your work useful to their work. His main advice is to make sure the work you choose to do will actually appeal to the types of people you like, and that the women in hospitality are often the fairest maidens.
Aquatis was another hard venture, as the people born there tend to dislike outsiders, but Bacchen proves it was hardly an impossible task to find love. For even the dwarf found ways of attracting various fish people. He had to learn a lot about sea life, but insisted the time he spent learning was enlightening. Ignoring the purpose of the book, Bacchen claims the most important thing he learned on his travels had little to do with love, but with what Aquatis taught him of being one with nature. Shortly after the publication of this book, Bacchen would become vegetarian. Regardless, his genuine interest gave way to good words being spread about him. Bacchen gives a warning to anyone who might seek a relationship with the merfolk, as just because they are bound to water does not mean you can toy with them and bail. Bounties have been put on heads for anyone who should dare hurt a merfolk, and Bacchen admits to wanting to change his name after seeing he had made that very mistake. Ultimately, he didn't go through with it, seeing his publication as a way of showing the importance of his study, for better or worse.
By the time Bacchen reached Jigwal, he had many rumors finally spread about him. He was titled "the Heartbreaker," a title he was displeased with, but understood why he had earned it. Despite the negative implication, he said Jigwal's obsession with stories only made his work easier. He had many women who wanted to be "his one" that he regrets having led them on, but had to for his study. At this point, Bacchen struggles with continuing his quest, starting to see the morality issues and being physically pained over the guilt. Before going to Reimog, he states that Jigwal has the least problems with outsiders, and that it was probably the best place to find love if you have no specific type of woman in mind.
Finally, Bacchen had his most difficult venture in actually finding love. Despite learning its ways quickly, his presence as an outsider to Reimog made it insanely difficult to make progress. He stated how essential it was to lie about where he was from, going to parts of Reimog that had not met him already so he could claim he was from there. The task was difficult, as they had heard of Bacchen before, but with some convincing, he was finally able to find an area he could work with. He states that he probably could've performed better if he hadn't been a dwarf, and that his main purpose in this book was to prove that anyone can find love anywhere. Reimog made it difficult the fact he was an outsider and not the most perfect looking man, and insists that people pay attention to how they present themselves should they want to find love in Reimog.
Bacchen only found one love in Digix, and he proceeds to explain that while he could've found more, he had a genuine interest in settling down once he had met a fantastic woman there. The desire to adventure was as important in Digix as it was to Bacchen, and most the information presented here comes from what he had seen rather than actual experience. Digix wants the best of the best at the top, a meritocracy, and most its people want that superiority in a mate. His suggestions for readers that are weaker is to start small, as any trophy is worth something, and that Digix has varying levels of hunter that even the weakest person can fit in.
Important Quotes:
"Though my advice is for anyone who may read this, good or evil, I must insist that my work is not meant to support lying, manipulation, or other nasty games with emotions. While I had to practice in many of these methods, it was only for the sake of creating this work, and the guilt will rest on my soul for the rest of my long life. I only take pleasure in proving anyone can find love, not in the things I had to do to get there."
"My time in the mines had garnered the attention of people who needed a miner in their life. It was here I finally solved the equation for finding love of any kind in berg, as your vocation decides the types of options you'll generally have. It's not impossible to seek outside this box, but the box is a good rule to follow."
"I do not wish to insist the people of Jigwal should've known what was coming. Even the most intelligent of the kingdom can fall numb to love, and my title did nothing to change that. I hope the people reading this do not use this poorly, but when someone truly thinks you are their one, they will have no problem being yours."
"It had taken me many years to finally get to this point where I could finally tell someone of my work and not feel ashamed. There was even a time I believed I could never find true love if I published my work and kept my name. But in Digix, this most magnificent woman did not care for any of that, even believed it was quite an entertaining story she wanted every detail of. I rarely ever felt like myself throughout this journey, but it was here I found who that was. I am Bacchen, Heartbreaker, Writer, Fighter, and now Lover to my final love."
