Climbing up the pole, it was a typo. He clearly meant to write "Climbing up the pope"

Possibly? idk what you had in mind, googled around for a bit

Aye, this is the explanation I was talking about. While not in the story itself, you at least explain to my fellow readers what's behind your decision in regards to using the gear. Good on you. Been doing some pondering on my own to see if I could find a way I would personally have done something like this, and the 'easy' way out would be a thought before accepting the longinus that would go something like this: "Hmm, while undoubtedly I'll decrease my power accumulation by a bit doing this, I still have Gluttony to do some heavy lifting, not to mention now that I've contact with the devils, true longinus should make them reconsider standing against me" Well, use it however you see fit, if you even want to use it, just an idea that would both give a plausible reasoning for his action and reminder of gluttony that is still a power creep. Sticking around to read more, cheers for your good work so far! :)

Had to listen to the remix of a turtle made it to the water after reading this

No matter how you word it, he did limit himself and there is no proper explanation as to his actions. 1(gluttony)+1(system) is 2. Removing one of them will never get 2 in the end, therefore limiting. Did he cut off future prowess? No. Did he delay it? Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt. In a metaphorical approach, you could say he's a car enthusiast, so he traded his car for a horse carriage. The main issue people find with this decision is that.. It's not needed, therefore, using the spear is beyond stupid, which irritates people, and this chapter didn't give a proper explanation as to WHY he used the spear. So you need to either revise the chapters to add in a reason, or quickly explain why he did what he did or you'll be bleeding readers. I hope I explained properly why most readers gave you backlash, if not I'll try to further explain it.

Let me see if I get this straight... A 50m tall golden dragon, who also happens to be a God, can possibly shatter the world with just his will alone, was running around like a fucking headless chicken scared out of his mind, even knowing what was going on and how to avoid it, all the while knowing his wife would be unhappy with it? Geez, way to make Mr Retard himself, one blonde Uzumaki Boi, look like the pinnacle of common logic and genius. Big choke.

No problem, I recall seeing a few ones later on but was waaay too into the groove to stop reading. Caught up and waiting for new chapter. Bloody good work you've done here!

Author, could you fix the spelling mistake on Adrian's name here? It is the first spelling mistake that I spotted that disrupted the, so far, absolutely stunning flow of the story and feel it would be a great injustice to not let you know.

No, I was tricked! This is the legendary dot dot dot bloodline, a passive bloodline that summons a crow in the background dragging 3 dots behind it whilst saying ahou!

I like this blank bloodline the most. Pick it.

Cats. All of them. Naturally.

Also, I have to apologize. Reading my first response, I notice it could come off as flippant, angry or just plain rude. That was not the intention at all. Therefore, I am sorry. Also, should you find yourself wondering about something else, please do let me know, and I'll try to explain it, hopefully in a less passive aggressive manner next time haha. I wish you a good day, and many joyful reads!

I agree wholeheartedly, for shinobi, these outfits are.. Horrendous at best haha. But I figured that like in most series, I'd promote the core cast. Chouza is for lack of better term, a tank. Minato and Kushina are flashy fighters. Inoichi is a mind walker, so what better outfit than something that scares people from the get go. Shikaku is a strategist, and while flashy, his outfit is quite subdued. Mikoto actually has the outfit closest to proper assassin wear. And Tsume, her outfit is primal. So while the outfits are slightly.. Visible, they all play in their favor on the other side.

Originally, I thought the same. Then I realized. Hey. If a shitty excuse of a genin can wear orange so bright even the rising sun looks pale in comparison, and doesn't get shafted hard, it really doesn't matter.

Oh, I like both of them. I'll change it right away! Cheers!

I can see what you mean, but it could be worded differently and it would be one wish. I can change it if you'd like? :)

I actually just posted another. It surprised even myself that I just churned one out like that. I hope you enjoy.
