Some easy fixes:
You start with the default RPG Maker Hero's gear which you can sell for like 700 gold.
You can walk straight through the mayor's house/roof in town.
Bigger issue: a lot of the time I didn't know what to do, even when what I had to do was very simple, due to a lack of direction. The first problem was right at the start, when Kaeli wants you to take the dishes downstairs. I grabbed the dishes and went downstairs and couldn't figure out what to do, tried to put them in the sink, talk to the bartender, etc. The issue was that I had to collect 3 separate events of dishes, including the 2 glasses which I had missed. Yeah, it sounds dumb. My fix for this would be to mention cleaning up the glasses in the text, not just "dishes", and to have an event that prevents you from leaving the room until you have all of them.
Second time I got stuck was after Kaeli disappears after you get the book. There's really no direction here, honestly. Nobody will think "Kaeli gone = time to read that book." I didn't even realize I had it in my inventory and only found it after going everywhere and talking to every NPC and inspecting every object I could trying to advance the plot.
Lastly is finding the people for the gods, I only found the couple for Biddisima and that's because I got a hint in the walkthrough after talking to practically every other single NPC that I could. Never found whoever Wotsrite wanted me to find and I feel like I checked everywhere (is it possible that activating Biddisima's quest deactivated hers? Don't know).

Thank you for your kind words! Makes me feel glad I made the game.

I have a few recommendations for some quality of life fixes you can do if you want to!
1. When transferring the player from one area to another, place them next to the exit transfer, not on top of. I had a few instances where I would go back and fourth between maps on accident because I would exit an area, then move left in the new one onto a transfer back.
2. Consider shrinking maps that are unnecessarily large, and removing clutter from busier maps. Too much visual noise can make a player feel like they need to check every object in a room in case they missed something, and smaller maps will feel cozier than bigger ones.
3. Having the healing amulet only step up the bottom state by one was a little bit frustrating. I always found myself using it several times in a row and having to go through the menu each time for that. Maybe a set of choices for how long you hold the amulet to your butt would alleviate this?
4. Allow us to skip the intro crawl. Some players, no matter how much you wish it weren't so, will not care about your story and just want to get into the game. Also, starting the game off with something so slow immediately kills the pace and causes a dip in player interest.
Great job so far, looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Thank you very me for the detailed feedback
Those are all good tips. I have never made games so this has been an interesting experiment and one of the things I've discovered is that most people (?) seems to play games differently than I do. Which is totally valid and it makes sense to cater to people playing it, not myself
Your advice is very helpful and I'll definitely change things a bit for the next episode of the story.

Thank you for the comments! Very good points.
Didn't know you could sell your gear, or that you even had any, haha.
The second thing... When I play games I enjoy a little bit of frustration every now and then... But not too much. I'm sorry that you felt stuck in the game! Everything seemed so obvious when I was writing it, but that's maybe because I played too many point and click adventure games as a child. Whatever the reason, I'll try to make my next game less frustrating.
As for the gods, only one can be chosen per playthrough.
That's another thing I wasn't sure about - do people enjoy having to replay a game to see all content?

I am not totally sure as I am not at my computer now but I think you should be able to just copy the saves folder to the same place in the updated game.

I still get surprised by this sometimes, and I've been doing this since like 2015! Every once in a while, I'll get a bug report and just be like "how did you do that?"
Anyway, good luck with your work in the future!

Excellent. I liked it. For me the missing Kaeli was interesting as was the 'grumpy'. I really had to look around. I was not expecting to be naughty in the game pilfering and being clumsy. That's new from what's posted here. In games I'm very willing to receive. I loved the first spanking. Different tempo and sounds. I know that's a pain to vary. To me it sounded like up one side and down the other. Good work. I agree with changing the transfer player away from the transfer point. I got caught with that a few times. Accessing locations too, Action button would fix that. I like the story. Keep going. We need more.

Thank you!!! I am happy you liked the sounds, I wanted it to sound like different parts of butt getting spanked! I'll make the transfer points better, either in an update or for the next episode.
