I'm delighted to see, you don't take offense in my critical statement. I liked AST (for the first few hundred chapters, until i figured out, that the mc doesn't give a damn about his girls) and I really like the thought, that someone won't ignore the girls and goes in the right direction. I personally do not think, it is manly to only get stronger and stand above all worldly desires. So I would like to see more of your ideas - but with a little plot, too :-)

I don't see any reason to take any offense. In fact, I would appreciate if everyone pointed out my mistake as you did. I'm writing fan-fic for experience and there will be some plot in future... and as you might already know AST is mostly slice-of-life with around 20% fight.

But even the slice-of-life content had lots of premonitions for fights. E.g. upcoming festivals where strong fighters met or a damsel in distress nearly getting raped by a bitchy son of a local tycoon; adventurers that wanted to take advantages of his waiter/restaurant boss wife... If these people come now, there won't even be a fight. The current mc can just squash them :(

Indeed, thanks for the reminders... maybe there will be some twists
