I think you did a great job with the time skip, I really like that max matured and didn't waste any time in the first trial, rather he used it to his advantage(though we still don't know what he did exactly). also I hope to see In the next few chapters the other heroes reaction to max still being alive(cause I assume they think he's dead), as well as his friends and family.
it would be great if the chapters had more compact information, this time the time skip helped now but the last chapters were useless could've been one chapter where he passed the 1st trial and the story would've been better waiting a whole day and nothing really happened in a chapter or the story just moved one step is kinda annoying your story has potential to stay for a long time without the need for useless chapters
