I'm typing too fast for this game. Puts sunglasses on.

Every time I press "space", the game reloads the textbox after I've already entered the first letter of the next word. Then the game thinks I've made an error.

Same here. I'm absolutely hitting the right keys, but it's losing the first letter of the new word every time unless I pause myself between words for an extra second or two.

I thought I had suddenly gotten very bad at typing. Good to hear it's not just me!

Same problem here. What a shame, I was hoping to be able to read/type some thrilling literature...

Ah... Nothing like erotica/porn/sexyness to motivate a person :)

I like it. I like the idea and the choice of text. Victorian english and erotism go hand in hand. (It may be a cultural fetish, I don't know).

My only criticism is the annoying pop-up when failing. I would rather repeat the word than have the annoying pop-up and restarting the sentence. It just breaks the flow.

[EDIT] Another thing. The failing, Enter exits the pop up but I dont have folus on the text-box (I have to click it). Please fix this. Don't break the flow.

It's a really good idea bit it punishes me way too much for a misspelled word. I do not want to start over from the beginning and I neither want to skip in the story.

Looks like it's been taken off HN. Any know why? Because of the NSFW content?

If you type too fast, the last letter is lost before switching to the next word.

I have to say, I wasn't expecting incestuous erotic fiction!
