I’m working on completing the new relationship stories, and so far none of the new chapter events are counting for Llama Zoom tasks. It’s hard to keep track of completely, but I am sure that the chapter 8 and 10 events (which should count as standard events) in the Romancing the Tomes story are not counting as progress. I haven’t been able to really track if the earlier chapter events/quick events work. But since you can’t bypass new chapters, it just ends up as a whole lot of wasted time and energy completing an event that won’t count. Plus in all of the old stories, the chapter events DO count.

Do you know if they might go towards a quick event instead?
This sounds like a bug. Could you open a new post in the bug forum for this?
