I'm currently in the middle of rewriting my earlier chapters right now and this caught something that I missed. Thankyou for the help!

Definitely more comfortable. Other than the inherent danger that Euryale poses, there's also something of an inferiority complex that Val can sometimes get. If she feels like she lacks value, then her entire self image and confidence can deteriorate. After their fight though, even if she understands that Euryale is still overwhelmingly more powerful, there's a degree of comfort knowing she could at least put up a modicum of a fight. Not only that, but with how she and Dahlia fought alongside each other, there's a new and more intense form of connection that they have now formed and that *definitely* makes our vampiress feel more comfortable and secure.

Yes! In the end, everyone really is just a big happy found family. With regards to Avery's condition... yeah, they're really not meant to be a fighter. My initial concept of this fight had a greater emphasis on Avery, but by the time I got to actually writing it, I really just wanted to use it as an opportunity to focus on Dahlia and Val's bond. I've considered doing some side chapters in the future which would show the other fights' perspectives though... And finally, when talking about Euryale's soul collection, you have to remember that they all basically are now in their effective afterlife and the outside world has hardly ever threatened them. They might be able to experience things through Euryale's senses, but they never actually experience danger themselves. In this battle though, Dahlia's magic threatened their existence, something that hadn't happened in ages. It's like if you were watching TV and suddenly one of the characters on the screen stabbed you with a knife. I'd be pretty freaked out too.

Helloooo, I send this reply now as I have officially made a discord. Seeing you say this, I felt like I couldn't agree more and so I got to work on making the discord server its link can be found in the latest chapter's author's note. As for everything else, I feel it's probably to talk in more detail on discord. As I've said before though, thank you so much for your support, as always :D

The trust in Euryale (at least from Dahlia) was basically solidified from the instant they made contact. As mentioned, communicating in the way Euryale did basically reveals everything about the intent and emotions behind everything they say. Considering Euryale had spoken to Dahlia for literal hours even if kept to fairly simple and basic messages, her positive intentions and lack of any ill will became very very clear to Dahlia. With regards to everyone else's trust though... it's far more tenuous and is heavily reliant on Dahlia having vouched for her. As for the rest of what's to come... yeah, I'm honestly excited and I especcially have plans in the northern territory and duchy coming up that I'm really looking forward to. We're finally onto the final stretch of the Calanthian arc, with the village and the heart being the last of it. I'm glad you're looking forward to what's to come, because I really am as well.

Thank you!!!!

Nope, no PSA, this is the first time I mentioned it. It's just a pretty basic gallbladder removal so I'm not making a big deal out of it, but I still wanted to leave an authors note in case recovery was more complicated than expected. Also, glad to hear you like their relationship. It's a little strange in a lot of ways, but I've really enjoyed writing Euryale as well as exploring how she affects and interacts with everyone else.

Oof, that hits close to home. No offence taken though as I genuinely really appreciate the feedback. I know that I was trying to lay a foundation back in the earlier chapters so I know my own reasoning, but hearing feedback like this makes me want to try and find alternative ways to do it without being quite so educational about it. I think it's my own more analytical nature peeking through, so it's something I definitely need to learn and adapt. Hopefully, when I finally get around to rewrites for the earlier chapters, I can keep this in mind and try to make things feel a bit more fun and natural. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you're enjoying so far :D

Something that I definitely go into but maybe not enough later is the magical solutions that can be used. Otherwise, you'd be right. I mean, there's always the opportunity to make a cool blind fighter character or something, but Dahlia's more in a position to circumvent her poor sight rather than needing to adapt. Luckily, our girl has a lot of options available going forward

*cough* not to mention she technically has royal blood thanks to her mother *cough* Yeah, in terms of lineage, Dahlia is actually absurdly high ranked. However, neither her bloodline nor her mother's heritage are something that can really be tossed around easily so unfortunately she'll just have to hide in obscurity T_T (That's a lie anyway considering she's also the partner of an Archduchess... she really does have a ton of prestige now that I think about it)

I won't confirm or deny too much here, but I will say that her mana reserves and her control of mana is absolutely affected by her bloodline. As far as comprehension is concerned with regards to her aspect though.... I'll let that be found out over time.

yeahhhh, I didn't realize that it would be a problem until it was too late. I may actually be reducing the privilege chapters back down due to how it messed with what people could read this month. I feel bad for that . Sorry for the delays

ohhhhhh, yes. So right now the most recent chaps are privilege. I increased the number of privilege from 2 to 5 so I imagine the issue now is that you're not eecieving new chapters until the difference is made up. My original intent was to make this change when I released 5 chapters at once but I think the privilege didn't update until the following month. I'm really sorry for that and Imconsiderinf reducing the privilege chapters as well (I only really need them if I was uploading daily in a month tbh, I might just reduce them next month and only bring them back if I'm doing daily uploads in the future... Idk, it's something I need to think about. Thank you for bringing it up though as it's definitely something I need to put more thought into

Glad you're still enjoying! 😊

At the moment none 😭 I'm very bad at time management and also often impulsively release chapters earlier than I mean to when I actually do write ahead, sooooo, yeah. I release as I write. I will say though that this year I am hoping to slowly stockpile one chapter a week so that later on I can release one chapter a day as a special major release throughout a month

Thanks, and I hope that explation helped and you continue to enjoy 😊

*cough* spoilers *cough* Please try to keep your questions spoiler free for future chapters But to answer the quedtion, no because purification of bloodline is based on the bloodline exclusively, not aspect. However... at the moment it hasn't been made clear yet what attributes *are* related to Dahlia's bloodline, so it'll take time to figure that on it's own.

Hmmm, without spoiling things, I do have plans for Dahlia's eyes as her bloodline purifies, though the specifics haven't been settled on yet. I'm still working things out. I will say though, the increased framerate idea is cool, but not likely to be used. While a purified bloodline will increase generale abilities both in terms of sensory perception and reaction speed, the time dilation aspect wouldn't suit Dahlia's abilities and would be more suited to someone with temporal or mental casting abilities. Something like a weakness sight also isn't something I plan to do at this time, but it is more in line with Dahlia's bloodline and where I might go with things. I won't say more though as I'm still in the planning stage and would also hope that the way Dahlia changes is an exciting surprise to look forward to going forward~Thankyou for your support and interest though! While right now I'm not looking for proofreaders and the like, having cool ideas and feedback like this is still a great way to both get feedback and broaden my own mindset!

So far, I've accepted 'protection', though I do appreciate the other ideas you've brainstormed. There's a chance that, even if the form's name might not be changed, future named spells associated with it might be able to use some of these descriptors as inspiration. Bulwark is a good one and I can see myself using it in the future

You have no idea how encouraging this is to hear. Thank you so much!!!
