I'm sure it has been said before, but the "Rich Young Master" is not a character archetype in American/Western literature - at least not by that name. Trust fund kids and nepo babies. Even Heirs and Heiresses. But not Young Masters. Still a great story and wonderful translations. Thanks.
I enjoyed the story you shared. You made the Walking Dead characters interesting. I like how you more or less pushed Rick to the side without demeaning the character. Starting ASOIAF North of the Wall is interesting and has good story potential, though i would prefer he not stay there too long. I would enjoy seeing more should you ever return to the tale.
I have only been on the site a short time. I have little familiarity with cultivation as a story concept. Therefore I look to find stories that don't use it or other unfamiliar elements. This story fits my parameters pretty well. The wishes a the beginning rather than a more codified CYOA or other mechanism is more common on this site, but works well enough. The story is fun. Builds quickly, but fairly well so far. Also the prose is clean enough to not cause me issues reading it. I am enjoying the story and looking forward to reading more.
In terms of pairings, I strongly suggest that he dates several women, not necessarily at the same time. It is a rare person that only ever dates one person in their whole life or even during the whole secondary school career. Tom is said to be a handsome, charismatic boy. HE should date several girls through his time at school. Afterwards it depends on what happens to him. Just my thought.
It just occurred to me that in the Marvel comic of yore (back when I read them regularly) the premier university in NYC was Empire State University. That was were Peter Parker was a grad student, where Richards and Doom met, and Emma Frost attended. Richard "Nova" Rider, Felicity "Black Cat" Harding, and Doreen "Squirrel Girl" Green all were students.
You mention the "requirements" for doctorates, masters, professors, etc. several times. They do not match my experience as an academic in the US and other countries for 20+ years. I am curious if you are basing them off of the traditions in a specific country or if they are simply your current understanding or the way you think it should be? Still enjoying the story. Thanks for sharing.
A voluntary de-power to fit in with the supers. I would like to see how his current stats directly compare - ST = Beast? Colossus? Juggernaut? AGL = Daredevil? Nightcrawler? Spiderman? MartArts = Daredevil, Black Widow, Iron Fist? Psi = Psilock? White Queen? J Grey? Prof X? Energy Manipulation = Jubilee? Pyro? Cyclops? Magneto? All sorts of possibilities.
