Hello all!
Unfortunately, I have not had any time to write this weekend. Since the story has hit a small lull before things start to kick off again, I think I'm going to take a small break. Currently, I plan for the break to only last this week and for Zaren's journey to get back on track starting on Monday.
Rather than leave you guys in a lurch, since we've got plenty of characters and worldbuilding that's happened so far with plenty of room for me to have made accidental omissions or mistakes, I figured I'd open the floor to any questions or queries to flesh out the story and characters a little more. In the comments, feel free to ask anything that might be burning at you, whether it's about characters, the world, or world mechanics that I've either left unclear or that you're curious about. I will of course not answer any questions that might be direct spoilers, but I'll at least mention that the question will be answered at a later date. The "chapter" on Wednesday will probably be where I respond to any that need more than a sentence to answer or that I find interesting.
Apologies for the (hopefully) brief hiatus, but I want to make sure I have time to actually read over my chapters before posting them rather than writing them day of like I have been, so hopefully this break lets be get back on track. If you've read this far then I thank you for giving my story a chance, and I hope you're all enjoying reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.

To take a break, to reread your work, and to make sure there are no error, or inconsistencies, is good, If its only a small break, every now and then.....
But i still want moar... MOAR!
But i will endure, for Zaren!
this!
I'm sad now, but reunion will feel just sweeter for it.

A week hiatus isn't bad, considering the quality, so far, is top-notch.
Just 2 questions, how long do you envision the series ? And how big is the big f*cking bed gonna be? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) aka how big is Zaren's harem. FYI, I've read xianxia novel with dual cultivation focus so I'm not afraid of big numbers, but I'd trade big numbers for good backstories every single time.
Same, hard to enjoy reading about harem if you can't remember who Zaren is talking to :D
Take as much time as you need. Love this series so far and I don't want to see you burn out on it.
as for some questions:
1. regarding the leveling and class system, I know that people unlock a second class at 20, but when do they unlock their third class?
2. I know Zaren mentioned class evolutions (and Noelle went through hers); do all classes go through evolution? when do they go through evolutions? since Zaren has a mythical class already, does that class not evolve?
3. unless I missed it, how do people determine the rarity of classes? I went back to when Zaren picked soul smith and I did not see an indication of the rarity of the class.
some plot questions
4. We know that many of the women that Zaren failed to save in his youth have been reincarnated; During the conversation with Fortuna she talks about how Noelle and mentions her lacking any bonds for Allura to work with, does that mean she wasn't one of those women?
5. Same question about Serena. I had first pegged her as being Ria, what with her massive natural talent for spears and Ballatians being some of the best warriors in the world, but I remember that she had started getting dreams about Zaren's past that Ria wouldn't know about.
6. how accurate is my list of women and their past lives?
-Tiana is Eve (Tiana has a fear of being buried alive, had a dream very similar to Eve's death)
-Allie is Eliya(for obvious reasons)
-Jack( that one Adventurer with the falcon) is definitely one of the experiments, dunno which.
Speculation
-Kyoko and Tsuki are those twins who were killed by the Chosen.
-Rhallani is Hannah(both are incredibly smart)
- Elisa is Esther (both are inventors)
-Serena is Ria (gifted with a spear)
And that's all I got so far.
Brief break, and yet still pumping out more words on average than most any author I've seen around these parts. I've started rationing chapters as I've come up on the final ten, yet to my confusion you are maintaining a comfortable pace. TFTC. The feels are fuzzy today :3
Love the story. That said can we get a character sheet :D?
Have a nice break
As I read this every time a chapter comes out and it’s been a while since there have been any major landmarks referenced sometimes I forget where the different parties are relative to each other. Zaren is coming from the north heading to the capital? Is the party with the girl who got stabbed (I forgot her name but it’s the pov from 2-3 chapters ago) headed out adventuring in the same direction as them or did they head south of the capital? Where are they relative to each other if you use the capital as a major reference point. This isn’t really a question more so just my rambling thoughts about “?” moments I’ve had when reading the story when there are location based details that I can’t quite remember. Sometimes I also wonder about the distance has he really traveled since he started his journey too. Just trying to get a sense of scale for things really. Is there a map you might have made of the world so far that maybe I can reference or would you be open to the idea of creating one even if it didn’t have major landmarks filled in for places we don’t know about yet? Anyways definitely 5/5 stars story top 1 on the site for me 100% Thanks!
Have a good one
Two questions:
Will all reincarnated because of the deal remember their part live ( at least in part)?
For those that do, how will it be? (Slow or fast merger, takeover or inhentace)
Have a good break! Thanks for writing your story.
Some questions:
1. Noelle is a Malachai. A new kind of beastkin. Which means either one of her parents was a beast Malek (or a Primogenitor one like what Zaren and the Seven killed alongside Grimsbane) or a beastkin Malachai.
My first question is: will we learn about how different she is from Maleks?
I ask about that because Maleks are beasts. There exist other kinds of Beastkin like Arelim but all the Celestial parentage has left the plane if I remember correctly.
Also, will we know whether the 4 handed Malachai Allie/Eliya and team Kat hunted was different from the rest?
A female one perhaps? I thought that it would be Noelle's mother but it seemed too wild and not human enough for that. If it was Noelle's mother, oooh boy...
2.
Will the plot transition to some kind of Kingdom Building once Zaren arrives at the Capital?
AKA staying on base, developing the base, developing new tech, urban warfare, assassinations, and politics. Until now it has been more of a journey adventure but if I remember correctly his goal is to do a lot of stuff at the Capital like break the Accords.
3.
Minor characters but will we have a development about Rolar and Karina?
Rolar's PoV is interesting either way since he apparently is the only really descent guy in the Seven and didn't want the Accords but had to implement them. I wonder if we will have more info about why they had to implement it, even though we do know a bit about why already (they did it to buy social peace for their fellow humans to air their grievances, but there may have been others)
4.
What were your inspirations for this novel, if it is not too personal?
I see a bit of Berserk, maybe some Mushoku Tensei...
Thanks again and see you next week!
