I did it. Anyone opening the review section won't see it, but since you and I were replying to each other under his comment, clicking the notification takes you right to his thread—making it look like it wasn't deleted.

I told you to message me on Patreon and I’d give you free access.

Thanks for reminding me.

That’s because the super-rich fund politicians' campaigns, so politicians don't dare close those loopholes, otherwise, that money goes to their opponents. It’s one of the major flaws of democracy in extreme capitalism. No system is perfect, but what we have right now remains the best of a bad situation. ​Still, maybe things could improve with the rise of figures like Mamdani, people who rely on small-dollar, grassroots donations and are therefore accountable only to everyday citizens. If enough of them make it to Congress, they might finally pass laws to abolish mega-funding for campaigns and break up lobbying groups... Though let’s be real, that probably won’t happen, and I’m just delusional.

Haha, that's pretty scary. But seriously, I can't promise anything. I'll keep going with it for now, though.

I'll do my best to make it as readable and enjoyable as possible, but I can't really rewrite the story itself. I might remove some of the really dumb stuff, but I simply don't have the time to restructure the plot. I've tried doing that before, and the moment I change even one small thing in a chapter, I have to change something in the next chapter to keep everything consistent. Then that leads to another change, and another, until I eventually find myself practically rewriting the entire novel. And honestly, I just don't have the time for that.

Lol

There are definitely a lot of plot holes in the story, but not the ones you mentioned. First, as for why Naruto lived in poverty—well, he actually didn't. A poor orphan would be in an orphanage, not living in a private apartment with a monthly allowance and a very solid education. As for why he didn't inherit his parents' wealth, he was only 12 at the start of the series. By the time he reached adolescence at 15, a World War had broken out, and the entire village was wiped out. Just look at Sasuke: he was literally the sole heir to an entire clan, making him the wealthiest individual in the village, yet he lived under the exact same conditions as Naruto (he was just more organized). In Sasuke's case, you can't even claim that Hiruzen or Danzo stole his inheritance while Itachi was still around. Regarding why Naruto was labeled a demon and ostracized: if I recall correctly from the manga, Danzo leaked the information on purpose. The goal was to redirect the villagers' anger into something tangible rather than letting it explode internally. On top of that, Jinchuriki were hated globally due to frequent instability and loss of control. Gaara suffered the exact same fate despite being the Kazekage's son, and Killer B faced it too, despite being close to the Raikage's son. As for Hiruzen stepping down: he actually did resign to make way for Minato, even though Hiruzen was the leader who won the war. Even after Minato's death, Hiruzen asked Tsunade to return and take the position, but she refused, and Jiraiya turned it down as well. There was simply no one worthy left for the role except Danzo and Orochimaru, both of whom were obviously out of the question. Finally, concerning Hiruzen's title as the "Strongest Kage"—that was accurate among the living Kage at the time. Besides, if memory serves me right, that statement came from Iruka, who had never met Tobirama or Hashirama. So, based on what he actually witnessed, he wasn't wrong.

First, an antihero is still a hero, just one who doesn't follow idealistic moral standards. That said, I completely agree that everyone has different tastes. Personally, I tend to enjoy morally gray or villainous characters with strong goals, like Aizen, Obito, Light Yagami, Lelouch... and even extremists like Fang Yuan. On the other hand, I really don't enjoy overly idealistic protagonists like Naruto, Tanjiro, or honestly, most Marvel and DC heroes. The difference here is that our friend isn't saying, "The protagonist is too heroic for my taste, so I'll stop reading," which would be completely fair. Instead, he's saying that a Viltrumite shouldn't feel guilt at all. That's something he would know isn't necessarily true if he'd actually read the Invincible comics. He also seems to have forgotten that the protagonist is a reincarnator. He was raised with an entirely different moral foundation, one that's fundamentally opposed to Viltrumite ideology. If he had fully embraced their beliefs from the very beginning, that would've been the strange part. What surprises me the most is that, after basing his entire review on such a weak argument, he ends it with, "I don't recommend it." A recommendation is, of course, his right, but if that's the main reason behind it, I don't think it gives potential readers a fair picture of the story.
