Yeah, it was weird. Way I see it though, if a single chapter that wasn't like, out of left field terrible managed to butcher a huge horde of readers, the chapter wasn't the problem.

Sakura's struggling to figure out how she feels about one person, Harem might be a bit off.

There's a side story covering Tenten holding the sword on SV, it's great.

She's working on it. She has plenty of years before they're not kids anymore, after-all. Lots of time to think about it and develop.

A lot of the small penalties the system gives are almost entirely based around natural cause and effect. "Yes Sakura, sitting at home and doing absolutely nothing while a festival occurs and you're eligible, is a very low charm thing to do. I will lower your charm if you do that. Go, have a failed date, experience life, do something." There's very few of them in the story, and most are sarcastic.

One of the few swears I left in. I started filtering out a lot of them later on in edits, I felt it was too crass. They're still there but have more impact in later chapters. I loved writing that scene.

Business Naruto was actually introduced in a side story beforehand. A lot of the side-stories are canon and directly intrude on the story in some way. Unfortunately, they're only on SV, SB, and the paid place. But there's over 40 of them.

And so it began.

She has no idea what she said and it's glorious.

It's accurate, no lies were told. It is very random.
