Congratulations for making it to the end of Volume 2? How was it? I hope everyone enjoyed it. It's been a really challenging experience for me so I hope that those who've made it this far appreciate just how much work and thoughts I've put into this.
As for those of you who are dreading the spirit stones cost, fret not! I have decided to turn down the offer Webnovel has given because of their inflexibility to change the terms I found that were unreasonable. So until I receive something better (wherever that may be) everything will still be the same as it has always been.
I especially want to thank the patrons who have given their support. I want them to know that their help is greatly appreciated. Every help is one step closer for me to be able to solely focus on this work.
The next volume will begin after another time skip. So for those who have been asking for it, congratulations! Kazuya will be a little older at the start of the next volume.
.
Now off we go to the question and answer portion. I've browsed through the comments section for the whole volume and I'm glad that some people have been helpful in answering some of the new readers' concerns. I didn't get to see much that were left unanswered by the later chapters so I will address those that I've seen by the time I am typing this up. (Note that they are questions from both the comments section and discord)
.
Pavook: 2 years? (time skip) So he is 8y old now?
A: Volume one ended in winter where somewhere it was mentioned that it was almost his birthday. Time skip took more than two years and started near the end of spring. So he is 9 when volume 2 began.
.
Jon1031: Should I put every typo I find in the comments?
A: It would be faster on discord since I rarely check the comments section after my initial check when I post the chapter. Much appreciated for the help.
.
Lauwn: Ringo = Apple?
A: If you're asking about the meaning of the word then yes. Ringo Japanese for Apple
.
Tweis: I'm amazed at how much bad reviews are coming in. They stopped reading very early and most of them quit after the MC brush off Tomoyo and Kurumi. Why don't you answer or reply to these reviews to make it clear to them?
A: Not going to waste my time. If they don't know what it means for literature to have 'character development' then it would be better for them to stop reading early. These guys even went as far as using alt accounts to upvote their bad reviews so why feed the trolls? I just hope that the current readers can upvote the reviews that they agree with.
Tweis: I did that. Why not just report them for abuse though?
A: I have. But webnovel doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. I don't really mind bad reviews as long as the reasons they have for giving something as low as a 1 star is understandable. The ones that spam bad reviews for the heck of it or because of something that happened early on in volume just makes me laugh. Hopefully they find actual quality novels to broaden their horizons.
.
qostoc: Do you have any other novel you are working on right now?
A: Not at the moment. Though I have been receiving a lot of requests asking where my previous stories have been published. My answer remains the same on the previous q/a section and say that I only have the raws of what I've written in the past. The ones that were published and edited were on sites that have already went down (I've checked most of them)
.
VersusZero: Is it just me overthinking or did the author's Dao (of cliffhanger) is improving?
A: That's just an illusion… I don't know what cliffhangers are…
.
KuroKagami: Why is the story keep making kazuya ship with mei?? It's my personal opinion but maybe he could be better with robot girl because of their age.
A: Mei is the closest person to Kazuya because she was the only one he really cared about on earth in his previous life. She is, as mentioned in the first volume, his first love/crush.
.
BlackKnight42: Are there any extra chapters if we subscribe on patreon?
A: The way it works 'currently' is that bonus chapters can be sponsored by patrons to be released on days where there are supposed to be no releases. Currently, my schedule is 3 chapters a week. So if you notice that the chapters are coming daily, it means that there are bonus chapters sponsored by these patrons.
.
GembeRForceS: From what I remember MC will get summoned in middle school right??
A: He was supposed to be in his first year of high school when he was summoned.
.
WeepingAngel: I see Author has improved in his cliff-dao. I wonder which level Author is?
A: Level 0… It's all an illusion…
.
LonleySnow: I don't know why but I have to ask why almost everyone's name and family name start with 'K' ???
A: That only applies to the Kouzuki clan. I made it somewhat of a tradition for them at this point (If written in the English alphabet that is). Though in Japanese, staring syllables don't matter because they always change depending on the meaning.
.
CrimsonDragonKing: Did they have guns? Was there any mention of guns in this operation? Even from the fodder? Author-san care to explain why we still don't have real weapons? Even Kaguya still doesn't have a real sword. All we have are kendo practice swords and fists.
A: There are many laws controlling the possession of firearms and swords. Even the in the police, there is a heavy restriction when they should use or sometimes even carry guns (only those detectives and ranked higher can carry them if I'm not mistaken). Even if one has a licensed gun, the law prohibits it from being carried out in the open because of the weapons and firearm ban.
Guns have been controlled in Japan since the late sixteenth century. After the Second World War, gun control became very strict. Many civilians have never seen a gun in their lives. The relationship between gun possession and crimes or suicides has not been studied in great detail. There are very few deaths by gunshot in Japan, which has a low homicide rate overall. The suicide rate, on the other hand, is very high, and many speculate that if Japanese people were able to possess guns more freely, the suicide rate would rise sharply.
Hopefully this sheds some light.
.
Lolhappy: Author San I would say it would be better if you add a character list
A: I've already put one up at the end of Volume 1 and will most likely be putting one up at the end of volume 2 as well.
.
JadeGazardiel: Do you know the name of Bruce Lee's brother?
A: Which one? If it's the vegan brother, then its Broco Lee
.
VirtuousParagon: What's SS chapter?
A: Side Story Chapters. They are going to be put most likely after this one.
.
Brezer: I am wondering how many chapters this story is going to have. Every time we start getting to the meat and potatoes of the story we end up going off on a tangent to stuff that seems to not have any effect on the story. All of these backgrounds characters, are they going to the other world are they driving the story.... why are we even reading about them. If we are building background for all these people to go over then ya ok but if they don't then this is all useless filler that is detracting from the main path of the story. I like the story but really just trying to understand what we are reading all this filler for.
A: Even I don't know how many chapters this story is going to have. At least, not yet. Like most people who interacts with me in discord know, I have the story in my head, what's going to happen, what needs to happen, etc. the only problem is how I tell the story. As for the other concern, someone already gave an answer I quite agreed with in the comments section. I'll put it here as well.
Overlord_Venus: There is actually a good reason for that, while these characters may seem like A,B,C but they are what slowly influence and change kazuya's character, try to read once again from the first chapter then you'll understand many subtleties you might have missed the first time ( I got to know why only in my second read), hope this helps
.
SootheSayre: How old is the Demon King and his daughter?
A: Hellion is a few centuries old while his daughter's age is currently unknown.
.
Funtastechick: How old was kazuya before he died when he's at edea?
A: He never aged when he was summoned. A high school kid
.
MeowY: Can I ask questions that isn't related to the novel?
A: As long as it's not too off track?
.
overlord_venus: I'm trying to write my first novel. how do you write Ruruci?
A: (posted this on discord somewhere)
My take on when you are deciding whether you're going to create something to publish or not;
1. decide what you want to write about
2. make sure that what you write about interests you, yourself (this is so that the chances for you dropping it when you eventually experience a block lessens)
3. begin thinking about what kind of person your MC will be (if you can't decide, make him/her similar to yourself)
4. think about what you want to happen in your story
5. start constructing specific main events in your head that should happen in the novel.
6. start thinking about how you want to start it.
7. think about whether the story is something that you are actually interested in because an aspiring writers who would drop their stories with reasons such as disinterest or blockage are absolute garbage
8. Start writing it. and think about who/what types of characters you'd want your MC to hang around with or which characters would support him
9. ask a friend to read it or tell them about it and ask for what they think (make sure this person is into reading because friends that are illiterates and prefer to watch shows rather than read are useless)
10.If you want to post it, make sure you have a reasonable lead in case you end up with delays and what not
11. Think about what you're doing once again. If you really want to do this, make sure what you're getting yourself into
12. enjoy the ride and don't let haters get to you. Not everyone will like what you write no matter what.
13. Tank the haters and focus on the people that enjoy what you write. They are the ones who matter (This is important so i had to list it down again. People will try and bring you down)
14. Never stop learning and improving your craft and appreciate those who support and encourage you.
.
That is all the time we have for right now. So if I missed any questions, I do apologize. I will be releasing the promised SS afterwards and Volume 3 will begin after I take a little time to recover, think, and prepare the releases for Royal Road, Tapas, etc.
We have reached the top 20 by the time I'm writing this and I would like to thank all those who have given their powerstones to make it happen. Thank you for your support!
A special Shout out to those who have been helping out with the errors, typos, edits and what not. JadeGazardiel, Ryou, Arion, your help is much appreciated.
.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
