斗罗：凤神降临，帝炎焚天 Thanks. I believe this is it. I'm getting off this site called 69yueda - net (remove the spaces and change - to .) I saw it recommend on reddit.

🤣🤣🤣

Sorry meant to wasn't in the first paragraph

Yeah, that's fine man. But you just have to make sure to go over it before you publish. There were a few chapters where it made it seem like the MC had no foreknowledge. Just watch out for stuff like that.

That is definitely valid. As I said, I much prefer this approach, rather than saying that the person's age is whatever the body age is, that feels like lying and kinda sounds like a creep response. And the other usual one, which is technically used here, that is just add the numbers up, and I feel that explanation is honestly rather childish like some saying I'm not 10 I'm 10 and 3/4. It's like ok little buddy, sure you are. What I like in this case is its a slightly unreliable narrator, where he feels older than what he is, so he comes up with his own explanation and is somewhat right somewhat wrong. It feels like yes, he's been training for years, but being 15 in body, he still does dumb things like 'guys I'm actually so much older and more mature that you wouldn't even begin to understand'. Even if that is only in his own mind and he's doing it unconsciously, I think it makes for a better character than one that somehow guestimates the entire situation based on no knowledge. Anyway, the main thing is that I'm glad that you, as an author, have actually given this some thought, seeing as it's like a foundational issue/plot point that should be addressed for every isekai/reincarnation story, so it then feels like a more cared for work. Keep up the good work, all the best.

I think that is a good way to handle it. The only counter would be that instead of 'stopping' or 'pausing', he should probably de-age somewhat mentally. Body affects the mind. I think it is a hard balance to find, and it's good that you thought about instead saying the character is right completely and the ages are just added together or that the MC is whatever age he is in current life. Looking forward to the rest of the story.

That's bummer but thanks for looking, all love man

Thanks for looking.

Hey, do you remember what that story was called? That actually sounds pretty cool.

I think that was for NEWT students only
