This guide was mostly written in early access, so some of it might be outdated/incomplete, and I am still playing through 1.0 and thus haven't been able to get all of the new achievements yet. Also I play in Chinese so the screenshots will be in that language, sorry :p

Current todo list: All new 1.0 achievements, exact days for story unlocks.

Please leave a comment if you have any corrections! It'll help me finish the guide faster without needing to spend too much time replaying the main story.

The order and time appeared of the main story scenes is obviously the same for everyone. Generally, story related achievements will automatically unlock when you reach the relevant portion. The ones that fall under this category are, in chronological order as well as the specific days-left they unlock on:

• Things Only I Can Do (84)
  
• Unnecessary Feelings
  
• Polarbear Attacks
  
• Conquer My Fate
  
• Have Something Sour? (Post-main story? Need verification.)

In some of the scenes, you will be prompted to make a choice between two options, and will receive an achievement for whichever one you choose. Now, if you want to get both possible achievements, it's annoying to have to make a new save file and go through the whole game again, so the fastest way is to save on the day before the choice appears. Then, after getting one achievement, just close your game, load the save, pick the other choice, and continue playing as usual.

Below are the choice achievements, as well as the days where you should save in order to get them in this method. The days written are the day BEFORE the choice is available and the day where you should SAVE. DO NOT SAVE ON THE DAY OF THE CHOICE BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO BACK EASILY.

• Side-chara CEO & Protaginist [sic] CEO (81)
  
• Fandoms Need No Rules & Fandoms Need Rules
  
• Serialization Needs an Ending & No Ending Necessary

The first achievement you will ever get is "Taking Up My Pen", from posting your first story, which the game walks you through the process of! Congratulations!

Later on, the "My First Fanzine" will also unlock once you get that feature, the game also holds your hand to teach you the process.

Following that, good amount of achievements are along the lines of "Post x stories" or "Print x fanzines". Very straightforward, just focus posting stories with tags that fit whatever zines you have yet to make, or just whatever you want to write. The more you post the more followers you will get, solving the achievements pertaining to that as well. Note that once you used a specific published story in a zine, you cannot use it again for other zines and need to get the prompt and rewrite it if you want to put the same story into a different zine.

For some you will also need to post stories of different lengths. A long novel (which is the choose-your-own-adventure type with stats and a lot of different endings), and a serialization (which is separated into multiple prompts/chapters). Note that the serialization achievement may be bugged, just try again on a different save file if it doesn't work the first time.

If you're not in the need for money to complete some other achievements, I recommend gifting the stories to increase your bond with the 4 girls. Just click this button and select the specific girl you want in the dropdown, in order to progress towards their achievements.

However, writing stories gives a rather low amount of bond. So what do we do to make it faster? When going outside, pick locations that have the girls there, which is indicated by their portrait on the location icon. You can then spend a few AP to view a short story segment which gives some bond, and also spam her with gifts which is the fastest way to increase bond.

If targeting a certain girl, you can use the new invitation feature to spawn her at a location (provided you still have time left in the day)! Just go to the Contacts window, pick your desired character, and hit the invite button. She'll instantly appear on the map for you to find!

(MAY HAVE CHANGED IN 1.0) Do note that although in the Contacts screen each girl appears to have 10 hearts for max bond level, the achievements are unlocked at only 4 hearts (240 bond points). Great, because getting to 10 hearts would take forever!

First off, there are a few story-mandated conventions that unlock an achievement, they are:

• Attend the Comic-Con! (90)
  
• Attend ComicTime

However, those conventions are clearly not enough if getting achievements is your goal, so you will have to attend other ones. They can be registered by going to the "Conventions" button on the main screen.


Don't forget to add all the zines and merch you have made by clicking the bottom window as well! It will be very important for the following things:


In order to expand your booth, giving you more traffic when selling (and therefore more profits) as well as more space for merch/zines, you will need to create a certain number of zines and have a certain number of followers. So just focus on writing stories with tags that will fit them, preferably the higher-priced ones at the bottom of the list.

Expanding your booth to the maximum of 6 will give you two achievements (one at 2, one at 6). Double Booth and Super Large Booth.

At time of writing, this is the second rarest achievement, and well, it does seem menacing at first. But it's not as bad as it looks!

What you need, is to just fill up your catalog with everything you've got. For zines, choose whatever has the highest price. For freebie merch, do whatever you want, though I recommend making some that have different appearances/colors and using those so that it's easier to find and select the ones needed. Don't forget to also upgrade your booth to the max level for more traffic.

Once that's done, head to the convention and just do your best at the selling minigame. Don't worry if you don't get it, there are an infinite number of conventions to attend even after you finish the main story, so you can keep trying until you got it!

There is also achievements related to getting merch at conventions. To do this, you need to attend a convention as a guest and not a seller. Walk to the booths, press space to get in line, and once the waiting is complete, just grab the merch they have available (and maybe give away one of your own for a small follower boost). Look! and Bountiful Harvest are from this.

Merch! Every whale's favorite thing! After collecting items from conventions, the shop, or even making your own, you can then place them in the ita room and ita bags to gain more points for writing. As usual, Room of Our Own, Cabinet of Our Own unlock automatically when you get access to the feature at around day (idk).

You'll get achievements for owning 6 itabag slots, and also expanding your ita-room to the max level. For the itabags, just get money and use it to buy the slots, no need to decorate them. For the ita-room, it will expand every time you level up in followers, as well as upgrading it in the Seaside Atelier.

For the crafting achievements, Trying Out Crafting, Crafting Is So Fun!, Crafting Master, you need to make 30 different freebies. There is a fast way to cheese this... just keep making blank can badges, aka the cheapest available type. Yes, you can do that. Don't worry about clogging up your shelf with white circles because it will automatically turn into a random actual picture once you actually make it. Still, since making a freebie takes up one time slot, it will take at least 10 in-game days to finish this achievement if starting from scratch. Good luck!

Thanks for playing my cat: When at a convention as a visitor, collect a merch of an IRL cat! (The developer's, I guess?)
When at a convention as a visitor, just find a booth that has cat merch, mark it, and instantly make a beeline there. Tada!
(Note: This may be bugged for some people according to Discussions)

I'm the BEST: Open the SNS (legally-distinct-Twitter), click on one of your posts, and click the like button. A temptation that all people who ever used social media have certainly thought about at least once...

City Tour: Description is self explanatory. Just unlock all possible locations on the map. Some can be chosen freely and some only unlock once you reached a certain story point, such as the Cafe.

Now, go out there, write some fanfics, HAVE FUN!
