After getting Lara to her new school, Victor took the girls back to the Academy, as he had nothing better to do.
When he entered late, as usual, Isabella was busy giving class and chose to totally ignore him as he went to his Desk.
“Now as I was saying the system has a power ranking for all entities like artifacts skills and even classes.” Isabella continued as Victor gave Lin her morning kiss under the class’s astonished eyes then returned to his disk and put his head on a pillow that was prepared by Margret. Lily was nowhere to be seen.
“Objects, skills, and pretty much everything in the system range from F rank to an A. The closer to A the better it is, and every transition from one letter to the next means a qualitative change. So a B-ranked sword can crush a thousand C-ranked ones.” She explained.
“Teacher, but I have a BB grade ribbon here.” Madelaine, the succubus tamed by Tom, said pointing to a ribbon on her hair, it was a gift from Tom.
“When an object gets better but his advancement is not enough to reach a higher rank the letter repeating effect happens.” She explained. “But it is very rare in F to D objects as even a small advancement would make them reach a higher ranking. I have seen a AAA object once and it was the limit of what a normal object can be.” She added.
“What about S ranks?” Tom asked.
“S ranks are reserved for objects and skills that are very strong. I never saw an S object as certain powers keep them locked up and only give them to their own heirs.” She said with resentment in her voice as she glared at Victor.
“There are also S ranked skills. Those skills usually are very strong and very hard to defend against. They usually depend on authority too.” She added.
“Can things change their ranks?” Another girl asked.
“Yes, in theory, everything can level up, but in practice, we only observed this in skills and artifacts. It gets harder the better the rank. I am expecting all of you to upgrade your main fighting arts skill to at least C before you graduate.” She pointed out, making them complain a little. Upgrading fighting skills are hard as it requires a lot of training before clearing a dungeon to show the effects.
“Can classes level up too?” Another girl asked.
“Classes usually get a plus sign next to them… I have never heard of a rank change. Might be possible, but remember, it requires a qualitative change. How can that happen to a class?” She said making the class ponder on her question.
“What about ranks higher than S?” Peter asked.
“I heard of an SSS… but that’s the most proven,” Isabella said.
“But the teacher I heard about the mist oracle. They say she had an X-ranked future prediction class.” A gossip-loving girl interjected, making her few friends who also came from minor aristocratic families laugh at her.
“This only exists in fairy tales, but they might exist. If I guessed correctly, it was a legend from 500 years ago…" Isabella asked as the girl who was blushing now nodded.
"Well, Since many of the students here haven't heard of these, I might as well tell you about the legendary ranks then. Those only existed in legend though and were not proven. “Isabella said as she watched her students listen closely. She wanted to laugh as if any of them would even glimpse at an X rank if it existed.
“There are three other ranks in the literature.” She began to explain, “X, R, and N,”
“X is the strongest. It means that the holder can affect the state of the world itself.” She explained. “Like how certain powers can predict the future and at the same time change it. There is another mention of an X-rank skill in an old tale where a monster had a skill called Core Eater that lets a player eat other people's powers. It is also very overpowered so the system gave it an X rank… Of course in that tale, the hero defeated the monster by feeding him a cursed self-destruct skill and forcing him to activate it. ” She added as the students nodded, most players' families had that same fairy tale book to scare naughty children.
Tom who came from a commoner origin was one of the few who never heard of this, so he decided to inquire about it from Miss Isabella later in the night. He will make her tell him that fairy tale while she…
“Tom, stop drooling and pay attention.” Teacher Isabella struck his desk and scolded him as she blushed lightly. She was sure that he will take his revenge on her later at night.
“Now…Where were we... Ah yes, R rank. It only appeared once in the records. It’s a tale about a fisherman who got an R-ranked pot from the bottom of a lake… Legends tell that an evil spirit was locked inside of it … Some fairytale stuff, if you are interested you can find the book in the player’s section of the library.” She said, making many students decide to go check it.
Victor, who didn’t sleep, was pondering on the ranks recalling what he knew from his memory. He knew what R stood for. It was "Restrain".
An R rank can only be given to artifacts and it almost always contains something locked away in it. Some things that the world itself wished to remain hidden and no dungeon could contain them… They usually held nasty things with nastier curses.
“Finally the N rank… We also don’t know… It was only mentioned in the tale of the greedy blacksmith who kept upgrading his evil sword with the blood of children until it reached the N rank. After that, it could not cut a thing despite its sharp edge. and the blacksmith was killed by a brave child who challenged him.” She sighed. “It is usually a tale of how evil deeds would never bear good results.” She explained.
Victor knew better. N rank is given to objects and skills that are super strong but can’t affect the world at all. It’s like a curse of effect nullification. He didn't know how such objects got created, but he had his theories.
“Now, enough of that… Let’s discuss dungeon air dynamics.…” Isabella changed the subject as her voice trailed off in the background while Victor closed his eyes.
He decided to dose off after that, he had to go to Tetraquad city in the afternoon and would probably not get much sleep in the night so he decided to take a nap.
“Will you tell me that fairy tale later?” A soft voice whispered in his ear. It was Margret who took the liberty to "borrow" the absent Lily’s seat. “I might need to tell it to our baby when he is born.” She added, making sure that the eavesdropping students in the front hear her.
“We can let the servants tell them, as you will be busy making other babies,” Victor responded without opening his eyes to watch the jealous eyes of his schoolmates.
…
Lara returned home at 5.00 PM and was surprised to find out that her esteemed brother was nowhere to be found. According to Hilda, he had to travel to attend some auctions.
Lara was annoyed, she wanted to tell him about all the new friends she made and how El broke some nosy boy’s nose after he laughed at her when she told the entire class that she will be a hooker in the future… Lara and El finally learned what that word meant, and that made them both very embarrassed.
Her esteemed brother should have told her instead of laughing it off every time she asked.
Thankfully the headmaster let her go after some scolding. But El had to run around the school twice as a punishment. El didn’t mind.
Lara had noticed recently that El had much more endurance than her, especially when she accompanied her in her morning sword training. It made Lara very embarrassed and forced her to work harder as she didn’t want to appear like a loser in front of her new younger sister.
“Let’s go do our homework.” She told El who quickly nodded while wondering if she should tell her young mistress that she already did it before leaving school. It was only some random partial differential equations that she happened to have read about in some book in the mansion’s Library. She heard that the chicks filled it with all kinds of books to make their young master look extra smart.
She did not realize that the teacher had given the students some college-level problems to make the arrogant young brats more humble and to test their thought processes.
…
In a dark room, Tobias von Geldstadt was standing next to a tall man with one eye and a scar that looked way scarier than it really was. He was Kolmir von Geldstadt, the punishment hall master of the family.
“Uncle, please help me find who is the bastard who killed Clint. You…. He was killed doing a mission for you!” He bowed deeply,
“You mean it is my fault?” Kolmir asked coldly.
“I never meant that.” Tobias shook a little.
“I see… Clint was in Vain city… And I already know who killed him. I already performed the last memory ritual. It was a man called Dave Davis. A big arms dealer.” Kolmir said slowly, taking his time.
“I want him dead!” Tobias screamed as he squeezed his hands which still had traces of gold.
“No… Stay out of this…” Kolmir said. He was wondering if his nephew washes his hands. “The master had issued an order for me to investigate this.” He explained.
“Investigate? Does this need the Master’s intervention?” Tobias asked, a little surprised, he didn’t expect his son’s mission to be this crucial.
“There might be some complication that involves the Von Weise family, so I will have to make sure.” Kolmir patiently said, “So you better keep out of this for now and wait for me to summon you.” He repeatedly looked at his nephew, who shivered a little and stepped back.
“I… I understand…” He said, “But I hope that uncle makes sure to cut that Dave to pieces.” He added.
“I will see what I can do… No one kills a black chamber member without a punishment.” Kolmir stated with a gloomy voice.
No ,I just don't want tom to get Isabelle. I don't care if victor didn't get her but tom is one of my top hated characters. It's just like how Korean authors keep teasing ntr to make readers read and then let it happen. Please just edit it.
The reason Isabella is important to sleep with Tom is
Nova
And shenwas never a heroin.
Why Victor doesn't even like her and wants to use her as a lab rat
So am OK with it since she isn't special in anyway.
Victor has more knowledge than her, better family and she doesn't even have a bloodline so there is no problem
My regret is the succubus girl such a miss I hope Margaret get either a class upgrade or subclass
@Akaichi So victor is going to kill her?
@DaoistWhatever Nope, He will let her live a good life of Tom sharing. She will get a turn once evry 342 days. When the wimsical system is not cockblocking Tom
Do you think any relationship not involving the mc is ntr? Victor never wanted Isabelle she's a bit*h. Tom can have her as long as they both suffer.
@Akaichi I think the problem is the fact she isn't very hateable and infuriating. Everyone hates Linda but Isabella is in fact good person that have unhealthy grudge against families(similar like Mia but less annoying -> that lass needs to be tamed by Victor). And it isn't baseless since almost every young master in the novel is scum. Make her character hateable and peaple won't care if she is with Tom. Same with Charlotte. Victor has a grudge against her but we don't know much about her.
@Blankhawk Same here. I think that succubus girl is such waste on Tom. I hope that @Akaichi will make her bit*h (cheating on Tom for example he he. Even though it is unlikely since she is under his halo)so we as readers won't care. Because so far we only know she is beauty, has rare class and is very good at business. Victor said he does not like fat women but he wasn't surprised by her weight loss so he should know about it. He basically gave away hidden gem to idiot who doesn't care about his women. It would be good plot twist if she actually used erotic dream skill(succubus inherent talent) on Tom the whole time and sucking his life force ha ha
@Akaichi Then why did victor kiss her when she first appeared. You do something like that and then say people assume random girls heroine. If he wants to annoy tom, then he should've done more.
@Fishless Then why did he kiss her?
@Argon459 True, she hasn't even done anything bad in this timeline. Also I don't get why victor didn't kill tom which he can though he said it'll be troublesome but he doesn't even annoy tom like he forgot about him. Make Isabelle hatable .
@DaoistWhatever Tom is his leek so it is understandable that he is alive. Victor wants all the opportunities Tom gets -> right know he is weak and useless but once his luck kicks in, Victor will steal benefits. Tha is why Victor throws him every once in while bone like that sword in the beginning for better progress. But that should be leftovers that Victor don't need or want but the succubus girl is not certainly leftover and so is not the Isabella. I mean she has over 50 levels as commoner in such age and her class is also good. But well since she is for experiment it is not like Victor can choose anybody ( maybe those girls that were merchandise before ? after all the experiment does not need exactly Isabella). As for Succubus girl it was completely unnecessary if it were not for some benefits or just harming Tom. The whimsical system could choose any other girls that are not interesting in anything(maybe some enemy girl from 1st life) because it is whimsical and give long term mission -> make this girl a girlfriend until you graduate. During the time you can't flirt with other girls in this class.Boom problem solved.
@Akaichi Is that so victor shows the footage he recorded to Nova and make her hate tom. Can't he just use the succubus girl or his other girlfriends. Also since he just hates Isabelle he should make her his slave . I mean it's clear he hates her a lot so he just left her, his enemy like that who isn't even scion or that hard to get? I mean I'm not against the succubus girl cos victor had taken Monica so he had to compensate with someone but giving Isabelle is all con no pro.
How is Isabella NTR? Is it because of the past life?
I read through the site translator and write through the translator. @Akaichi To be honest, I developed a greater attachment to Isabel than to Nova. Also, according to the novel, Nova should play the role of a runaway bride, so we immediately understood that, let her be a beauty, we would not be sorry to lose her. But not Isabelle, Viktor played with her, and there were some hints of closeness with her, otherwise why would Victor interfere, we remember that he wanted to measure to what extent he could interfere in Tom's fate. The reason was almost forgotten because of the plot, which is developing quite quickly.
There are many new actors, and the reveal of many is dropped, the twins are barely featured, except for a few mentions. Killer girls, girls from the basement (named sisters Alpha and Teta), girls from the brothel (Ray?, well, dark healer?). And on the threshold of Lin, and Girl Alchemist? I like it, but if one of them is near death I almost don't care. But to hell Isabel should be m under his s. She literally appeared in the scene like that, he does whatever he wants with her, and she can't change anything, and Tom looks at it, biting his lip.You have already indicated its belonging, but now its loss. **** the succubus, **** the other girls at school
@lordtea Well @Akaichi said that there will be no new girls for now so hopefully the girls will get more fleshed out. The twins deserves to be at least recognizable from each other. I only know that Mina is Extrovert and Mana is introvert but it isn't clear very much in dialogs. I also hope the Assassins girls and Alphabet girls get to be more featured as we know only Nora, Alpha and Theta from 1st and 2nd group more in depth.
As for Isabella and Nova ngl there is my inner hope that Victor will change his mind say 'f*ck it' and will take them both as I see this novel as wish fullfilment and don't like Tom getting girls. I mean he forgived Alpha for trying to eat him just because he was von Weise. Isabella just bullied him back then.
@Argon459 Wait, Nova is a "bad girl"? Is she the one from a fallen clan, or is she his distant sisters friend?
@DiscoDream Nova is from von Astrom family. She ran away because of mariage and then tangled with Tom. Now she is soon to be concubine of Victor ( not confirmed if she will get back to Tom or in the end stay). So she is victim throughout. The fallen clan you write about is propably von Richter -> Alpha and Hanna(Alchemist he is gonna buy at the auction).
@Argon459 Which one had a talisman, and came from a clan that was ruined by her bad decision to let in slavers?
Tom barely did any shit, why you lot so nasty for him? haha
@Lachlann Because the author told us to be.
@DiscoDream ooh this description only fits Windy ( ice witch I think). Her clan was ruined before and only inheritance was the village she lived. She let the slavers in and got enslaved and all treasures got stoled. Slavers sold her and treasures to Charlotte and then Tom came. She escaped from Tom and made deal with Victor who was playing the devil
@Lachlann Tom is big bastard in my opinion. He only looks at girls beauty and does not care about them. It can be seen when twins sacrificed themselves for him in 'first live' and he made book and brothel for money. Or when he courted Monica and she went with Victor he immedially calls her bit*h the same for other girls around Victor. Morever his 'hero complex' triggers me even more. He makes excuses in his heart to make himself hero to court some girl. Lily for example. When she said she was Victor's personal maid the first reaction was disbelief because he wanted her for himself then delusion that she needs to be 'rescued'. There are another things like that he is stupid, selfish and extreme Hypocrite. He basically hates Victor because of his harem even though he has one too.
@Argon459 minus the hero complex, Victor is pretty much the same. He doesn't look at his girls as anything more than chess pieces. Even if it's because of his upbringing, he has made no attempt to figure out anything about them outside of how they are useful. I don't buy that he managed to find dozens of girls who are this vapid and talented, which leaves him just not caring. He might put marginally more effort into respecting them, but it's still on the level of a person and his favorite prostitute
Lily has a plausible excuse of being a slave. The twins don't though, they had a social life, one that appears to be over. Margaret is a gold digger, so there's no real issue with that, but what about the slave girls? Weren't a lot of them normal people before? Surely he could at least learn a hobby of there's? Yet he's relegated then to assassin's, and forgotten about them. The same could be said for nearly every girl he meets. They are cocksleeves and worker bees
Ok... i get you point about isabella. what comes next is somewhat spoilery...
I wrote isabella this way because i am rewriting the novel. The school arc should start way earlier. At about chapter 25. And Isabella would be Victor's first try to steal something from tom and fail. I didn't want the novel to diverrge a lot from the rewrite, so her arc was a little unapprpriate. There is a plan for her though... It would make those who are unsatisfied super satisfied, if they were a little evil like Victor. But i am not sure about it yet.
@Аргон459 Viktor forgave her because she is a good investment. The alpha will create an entire work organization for him, and in return he will give her what she wants while subjugating her.
It seems to me that she will be on the same level as Lila. And the two of them will be his light and dark side. The type he took up in business is just having fun, and Lily seems to be taking all the power into her own hands as his confidante in the polite world, and Alpha has become his second mask, but already in the underworld.
The twins get lost in the frame, and if they become his faithful warriors who will follow him day and night and guard him (and this is all in the form of a French maid, it will be so).
But Isabella is a completely different story, she mocked him when he didn't deserve it (Or deserved, we don't know). Therefore, it is fair that he harbored a grudge against her, and this time he will dominate, and then one day it will be possible to forgive her (perhaps)...
@Akaichi Я прийшов після того, як переписав, тому я ще більше розгубився. Ви напевно хотіли зробити героя більш приземистим, але більшість тут, на мій погляд, хочуть бачити тільки перемоги і реванш, якщо Ізабалла Віктор програв, то набравшись сил, він прийде забирати своє. Але я заінтригований. (Я читаю через перекладач сайту і пишу через перекладач.)
@DiscoDream Well I consider Victor chaotic neutral. He has goals that he will do anything to reach. But even though he manipulates those girls he is always thinking about their well being.
He saved Lily and wanted to give her to her family. -> that would not hurt her a he only wanted some benefits. In the end both likes each other
Margret got saved by him and he helped her get from her family.
Alphabet girls got saved and then got chance to be free. Yes he phrased it so they choose to be with him but that is because they would die otherwise. He promised them the chance to go to school next year so social life will restart by then.
Assassin girls were saved and heard good word about him from Lily so they definitely do not mind. I don't remember if he gave them choice.
Aria and Mira are servants to be safe from others.
The brothel girls also cannot get to normal social life because people will realize that they are from that brothel(same thing as with Alphabet girls).
Only twins could be said to be victims.
But I believe that if some girl really hated to be like this he would set them free if it was safe(not counting Alpha as she is special case).
All in all you must realize that all story happened during 2-3 months and 2 weeks he was out.All the time he was busy so he was not able to socialize with them that much but I think he did good job. There were not that much of slice of life chapters but there were some hints that show his thoughtfulness. Like realizing twins favorite color is pink, Beta liking shooting the most, Theta liking cute things etc. As for playing with them there was recent chapter where he played billiards with them. @Akaichi those slice of life parts should be more frequent to flesh out characters and their relationships.
Victor is manipulative but not outright evil. This is conjecture from all hints --> his hate and ambitions push him farther plus his traumas from 'first life' make him extremely possessive (he lost too many things) and he is not able to bear loneliness thus always eating with someone, sleeping with someone etc.
@lordtea Well yes Alpha is big investment but you need to have really big heart to live beside someone who tried to eat you. Morever Isabella could be also albeit smaller big investment --> She has over 50 level in her twenties even though she is commoner. That means her talent is excellent. She is fate with Tom thus has A ranked Fate and her class is extra usefull. Paladin is basically warrior, tank, healer, mage and has holy attribute.
Of course the grudge should be resolved but this isn't 'to the death' grudge so they don't need to be enemies as long as she gets spanked and tamed.
@Argon459 I agree, Victor is not evil, but neither is Tom. Tom doesn't even know he has a protagonist aura. Tom is just living his life to the best of his abilities, and his aura makes it so that he rarely receives backlash. Tom isn't evil, he's a spoiled child. A spoiled, 'conpetent' child, that we happen to see the bad side of.
Victor knows full well what he's doing, and does so anyways. I don't hate him for it, but my judgement is that he's 'worse'. Not by much, but not someone I can think well of. As for being too busy, yeah, he keeps on shoving his face into all his old grudges. He's choosing to fight ghosts, rather than move on, so I don't see that as an excuse for his negligence of his girls. Not that I care particularly, just that he isn't trying any harder for them than a commoner for a local prostitute.
Keeping them alive and motivated, makes them seem like they're closer to employees/night maids, rather than partners.
@DiscoDream Well this is our difference between opinions. I also think that Tom is not evil but just big bastard. His halo does not have anything to do with it. I don't mind his harem-seeking trait and the brainwashing isn't his fault. I just don't like his attitude towards them. I didn't care that much but what he did after twins died before triggered me and my impression of him hit bottom.
As for Victor morality it is hard to judge. He manipulates little but does not harm them or make them unhappy. Morever he treats them as family even before he looks at them as love interest (at least in my mind).
And I don't think Victor fights ghosts. Most of the enemies Victor is against right now are the agressive ones and he is the one counter-attacking. As for the small fries that he beat up several times they don't take much time and they are scum of society even before they offended Victor so I don't care. As for the 'innocent ones' like that scion that destroyed family they will be still enemies because he is ally of von zwei. There is reason why there were enemies in his first life that does not disappear because of his regression. Victor also needs to resolve the situation in family that makes him a lot of problems. I also don't think he neglects them that much. After all they also train a lot as they are amaters and even then he goes out with them often and spend quality time with them.It is just not shown that much since there are more action parts. It is more about those details I mentioned above. Simply put lot of things happened in short time. Once Victor will have free time hopefully there will be those slice of life chapters I mentioned.
But well this is just my opinion. Just let's hope that Victor will take care of them better and better and his character development makes him more mature, chad, sigma and everything.
I honestly dont mind Tom getting girls. And victor getting some failures when trying to take girls off tom makes sence, since he is a scion. Not every girl is victors nor does he want them.
Tho one thing does bug me about victors behaviour is his attitude towards kai, theman is loyal to a fault to victor and gets bushed off, I get he works better that way, but the comment about how he can go die was very uncalled for.
@Akaichi I think it's pretty much fine how the situation of Isabella is. As if you add too many harem members in future it will be inevitable that if you are not be able to give many Victor's girls a screen time in story, then many people will complain that you forget about this and that. So it's will be advisable to not have too many girls in his harem as in future it can happen that some girls may be forgotten.
As for Isabella you can add a past life story in Victor's monologue that shows how her baised treatment of him hurt Victor in past life. That will justify why she is not a harem member.
I don't get it why are some people getting the definition of NTR wrong. NTR is basically when some girl is in prior relationship but still she get in relationship with other man. And here how Isabella being with Tom is NTR when she isn't in relationship with Victor in the first place. Just being kissed by Victor doesn't mean they are in relationship man. And Victor was just teasing her as in past she acts all high and mighty, biased towards Victor while his life was mess.
Keep up the good work man.
@DaoistWhatever Victor kisses her to 1) annoy Tom and 2) to piss her off and 3) to show off to the class.
@Akaichi while not likely to happen... after Nova pulls a runaway bride, whose to say that she, after learning of Tom's...affairs, that she doesn't run back to Victor...
@Darkness_rave I do, too many girls already.
@DiscoDream I personally agree with you and I'm mostly just playing Devil's advocate.
@Darkness_rave Good, now I don't have to argue about why Lara deserves the position more than Nova.
@DiscoDream who is lara again
Did only Laura I know is Victor sis or there another one?🤔
@Blankhawk You got it. (Unless I'm forgetting someone as well)
@Akaichi Count you just change iaabelle's role with an artifact or if victor fails to get her make it like she's just in Tom's team not his girlfriend or just change her role to Nova. I don't mind tom getting Nova as we've barely seen her and tom already f*cked her. Also if you're editing don't update just sort it out first.amd then replace it or there'll be many people who'll argue or drop the Nobel cos they didn't read the edited version and still remember only first version. In the end if you are going to give Isabelle to tom, edit the scene where victor teases or kisses but and make her more hatable like she tried to poison him or smth just cos he's aristocracy. For now though you could just edit the 2 paragraphs about Isabelle and keep it still in progress.
@Akaichi Victor was not really interested in her.… But she would be a good specimen for a fate change experiment, as she has to teach him for an entire year, and he would have a lot of chances to interact with her… And maybe test the waters for the Nova and Monica problems he had at hand. Now... How shall he attack?
The Tom way? No, It requires a scion's luck to save a girl five times in a row, and to make her lose all reason…
Here it's literally said that victor does plan to attack her but it just went nowhere after that as he just watched.
@DaoistWhatever Man you guys are literally fixated on Isabella for a petty kiss. This is too much man Victor didn't even took her virginity I don't get it why are you upset about her being with Tom. You have to understand man if there are too many girls in harem it will be hard to integrate in the story every now and then and if by chance @Akaichi forgets some girls then you guys will again complain about that. So it's preferable if the harem is not too much crowded in order to keep things somewhat simple and not complicate things in long run man.
Author can just add a Victor's monologue which will tell how bad and baised her treatment was towards Victor when she get to know that Victor has very limited support from his family, which will solve the problem. Why we have to be so fixated on the kiss man, get over it, just take it as his privilege for being a young master and leave at that man.
@DaoistWhatever dude why are you so upset about this.
Victor knew about isabelle and kissed her just to show that he is a prevert to his class and he still has a plan with Lin recording and all yhat but why would you want the author to change a scene just bcus it doesn't sit right with you.
No go man just enjoy the story, point out plothole that are important so that he can make a better story.
P.s there are already so many girls in Victor harem that don't get screen time so stop hashing about the teacher and fight for the assassin girls they have been forgotten. So many time and we still don't know if they are players and what their class is.@Akaichi
get it guys, we don't need isabel as a harem member, we need her as a damn tick on a list. it was received and forgotten, but we know that we have it. And if we allow something, on the side, then in priority after us. Isabelle can be with Tom, but Victor must have the upper hand over him. At the moment, apart from poor Tom, we have no other worthy opponent, which inappropriately puts him in the role of an equal hero, but he is not Moriarty, he is just a frog underfoot, and losing to Tom, let him be a three-time descendant, is unpleasant and shameful, because he was already defeated once, they succeeded, then the second and the third, and so on again and again.
@Blankhawk Dude you know fans made Arthur Conan Doyle revive Sherlock for their wishes. I'm just making him change a small background detail. Plus the reason I think a lot of people are upset cos it literally wrote in the chapter academy(2) that although he didn't like Isabelle he'll attack her for experiment and just forgot about it plus she's an Masochistic teacher that wants to be a made, what's not to like. And a lot of people also have teacher fetishes.
And the Devil's advocate strikes again.
I personally like Isabella as a character and would like for Victor to conquer her, if not for the fact we already have so many girls awaiting flushing out. That said I would love the idea of one of Tom's girlfriends actually belonging to Victor purely for the mind-f*ckery of her 'betraying' Tom at some point and telling him how little his d*co is compared to Victor.
The Whimsical System could even have been warning Tom about his 'perfect' girlfriend only for Tom to ignore it.
Have it be the standard plot were your favourite waifu, that you sunk large amounts of time and resources into, turns out to be the big bad's B*tch and you're forced to fight her.
This could even be done to Victor with him seeing through it and taking advantage of the girl by forcing her to do perverse acts that she hates while feeding her false information to lead her Master into a trap.
I could totally see Tom, once him 'learns' about Nova's engagement to Victor, to send Isabella undercover to spy on Victor.
@Darkness_rave Look at the chapter. It has 67 likes and my comment alone has 16 likes that means that about a quarter of the readers are dissatisfied about Isabelle with Tom. They alone is more than enough to author to revise it to make audience like it more. I get many people saying with how readers shouldn't interfere with author but an author should be able to satisfy most of the audience at least. Like how good a literary movie is it needs to be at least profitable on box office to be good.
@DaoistWhatever he didn't forget, the author just hasn't put focus on it. U keep ignoring the fact that Victor sent Lin to record them this could be part of the experiment.
We just have to wait and see, maybe Victor will capture her or pin her against Nova for Tom. A lot of options are still open we just have to wait while.
As for the sherlock Holmes advice, he died which was a close case that what fans were against. The situation with Isabelle is still an open ending so there is no need to change what happened, just debate what the ending will be is better
@Blankhawk It's not an open ending. Author literally said she's going to be tom's girlfriend.
@DaoistWhatever just being the Devil's advocate once again... but the author only said so in a comment and not in the story...
Plus it is possible that Victor may perform some young master magic and somehow make her life a living Hell despite being Tom's girlfriend.
@Darkness_rave Make her super fertile. 12 kids the first time she has sex.
@DaoistWhatever ha, to remake the scene where Dio kiss jojo's gf
@DaoistWhatever and so? How does that stop Victor from getting her.
Being a girlfriend will even help more with experiment. To see how her fate holds up against his manipulation
Beside the author said that all of this is for nova. Maybe in the end Tom gets the teach but loses the bride
@Akaichi , so I am not complaining or anything just trying to make suggestions on what could make this novel better.
1. Scion and their brainwashing aura - I think almost every reader didn't like this brainwashing aura of scions that muddles people's thinking. There are other novels that have mc or protagonist like characters but fate should just make changes and not directly brainwash people or attack victor. I know you're trying to making scions victor's enemy as it's difficult to make an enemy for such an op hero but you could make another not so dumb enemies like a cult that wants to sacrifice earth or another regressor or a seer who could see future etc. Dumb scions who gets the girls cos of fate are huge turn offs. Scions in itself aren't that well explained. For references you could find urban Chinese novels that have "villain" in their title like "i am a gao fushuai villain" where Mc battles protagonists.
2. Isabelle is a good character which is more introduced then Nova so instead you could give Nova to tom instead of Isabelle or make Isabelle more hatable and if you wanna make victor fail at snatching smth from Tom make it plausible cos I found it hard he can't get Isabelle or anything from Tom despite being so experienced, and resourceful.
3. System mechanics are too complicated. The part about authority is good but other thing like exp and dungeons and stats are complicated.
@DaoistWhatever what is everyone's fixation with Isabella?!?!?!?! Victor doesn't want her(from what we have seen in the story) and treats her like the Von zewie treat Rita, as a pawn to further his goals so she doesn't need to be more hate able or loveable. She's just a female character that victor has regular contact with but apart from testing fates limits on her has no intrist what so ever.
The other points I won't touch on cause I still think there is still more that we haven't been told of yet eg, like how we got more ranks in this chapter.
@DaoistWhatever ...
For the scions, the point is they are not the antagonists of this story, some of them are, but not all.
Isabella's destiny might change 20 chapters later... It might not.
Yah, system mechanics is complicated, it needs streamlining. but most of those things are important.
@Akaichi Man don't change the role of Isabella, keep going with what you originally intended to do. If you keep changing every story event because of some petty reasons man, than it will not be much interesting man. Keep it original, just fill up the plot holes. Anyway we have too much girls. don't add more as it will come back and bite you up in future. If you really want to add a teacher for the people with female teacher fetish, than put a new female teacher for Victor just don't change Isabella role too much keep it the way it was intended to. Keep up the good work man.
@Rajark fetish members are the worst, and forcing them in for the 'fans' only hurt the story cause there so 2d compared to intended heroines that have there own roles in the story. And I'm not just saying that cause I don't like teachers, my fave wifu is a loli teacher.
@Akaichi it depends on Victor . Anyone can be a heroine. If you read po*nhwa there are 10s of these kind of heroines who were bad until MC became chad.
Some of them were bad teachers too.
Wasn't Mc going to do experiments on scions fate and all?
Try to snatch a girl after she is done it , as a experiment.
@Fishless After Mc got her first kiss and let it happen (with Tom) , it is kind of ntr.
Tom is the necessary evil don't be a virgin otaku that want all the girl in the world for himself
@DaoistWhatever Bro got so invested just from a kiss, lmao
@Akaichi Then atleast tell me victor get's to have nova. I hate that f*cker tom. And why is there still no lemons yet? pleaseeeeeee add them.
@sam55559 why tho, he doesn't need nova, and no lemons only fade to black
@Akaichi No you should do it. we are f*cking evil I can gurantee it. I can't f*cking stand that bit*h and tom.
@Neol Trust me I want to like that f*cking tom but I just can't. He just chases after women because of their body. He doesn't love them. And to make it worse the girls are being brainwashed into liking him. There are other ways to do the necessary evil part. I genuinely feel concerned that some people are defending tom.
@UPineapple Becuase I don't like tom. Also I am reaching 200 chaps and I still didn't see any lemons. what's the point of him having all those girls then? It's better to not have them in that case. I hate this kind of novels. Please tell me that he actually f*cks the girls in the later chapters. If not then I am dropping this. I have had enough of this bullshit.
@sam55559 the wedding, but like I said no lemons only implied sex
@UPineapple at least he had sex. and what about nova? did she develop any feelings for victor or go back to tom.
@sam55559
She won't appear again , maybe after chapter 500.
@Vikass17 did she go back to tom ? If you could please explain
@sam55559
She was crazy for Caspian , so Victor kidnapped her and kept in some basement. Neber mentioned her again.
@Vikass17 who is caspian? wasn't it tom?
@sam55559
Just read it .
@Vikass17 sigh fine.
