I understand your point of view, though I’ll respectfully disagree: for me, a faster, up-to-date release schedule matters more than anything else. Quality is relative you can't simply base everything on that. Besides, as I mentioned in my first comment, I’ve been following this work literally since the beginning, so I’ve accepted that none of that is going to change. I’m okay with it simply because I have a massive library across three sites for Western, Chinese, and Korean novels collectively numbering in the thousands of works, each with at least 300 to 600 chapters so I’m well-versed in the genre. In my view, the only thing that truly stands out about this work is that it’s the best *Frieren* fanfic out there. I’m sorry, but it doesn’t feature the best protagonist I’ve ever read whether the MC is an elf, a demon, or whatever else. Perhaps the real highlights are the supporting characters and the city-building; even looking back at my top 10 fanfics, few reach that level. So, is the work good? Yes. But it’s not the Holy Grail. That’s just my personal opinion, based on years of reading thousands of other works and fanfics.

Man, they’ve cheapened the word "AI" so much that it’s basically become a synonym for "good work" what kind of madness is that? You realize there are thousands of authors old and new who don't use AI at all and still create incredible stories, right? I’ve followed famous novels with a release schedule of at least one or two chapters a week. Maybe it’s just me perhaps I’m traumatized from watching anime episodes for months on end only to get stuck in filler arcs but I absolutely hate, with every fiber of my being, those crazy schedules where torturing the reader passes for entertainment. You might be willing to put up with that if the work has a "seal of quality," but I just can't stand it anymore; it just stresses me out. I don't even try to recall past chapters or go back and reread them honestly, I never reread *any* story, no matter how good it is so that format will never work for me.

After 11 months of following this work, I, or any other obsessive reader, have already accepted this fate of one chapter per month with secondary characters. I recommend you do the same for the sake of your sanity; this work is completely outside the norm of any minimally normal novel.

These "archetypes" are completely contradictory; in fact, if you look at the top 10 anime and manga villains, they never fit into that classification. A good villain is usually developed gradually, or the universe itself might even exist because of them take, for example, a demon that has existed since the dawn of time and represents the end of the world; even if they don't seem to undergo "character development" in the traditional sense, the universe itself is part of who they are. The type of villains you described are actually just normal people with "normal" ambitions who happen to clash with the main character. Most works treat the MC as the literal protagonist of the entire world and universe as if the very "EXISTENCE" of everything were tied to them, and without them, it would mean the end of the world. That is obviously completely absurd; such a world could never truly exist. Heroes and villains protagonists or not are merely "labels"; absolutely anyone can be good, bad, or best of all neutral. The best stories play with this complexity, featuring an MC who does good things but also commits bad acts, like killing... so... To sum it all up: if you see these archetypes highlighted in a work, it’s usually either a Chinese novel where they do this on purpose because it’s part of their culture or the author is just extremely lazy and lacks the patience to develop a hero and villain throughout the story. It’s easier to just have someone act "against" the MC and label them a villain, even when they aren't one.

I'm really curious about how someone can create a story without knowing exactly what the MC looks like? As someone who has also written novels, one of the main things I do is imagine and research reference images of the MC, then I detail them explicitly so that I can imagine their real personality and desires. Without any of that, to me, the MCs, whether mine or other authors', seem absolutely empty. Yes, author, your writing is very good, nobody disagrees with that, but your lack of desire in the MC descriptions irritates me a lot. It seems like I'm reading about a "painting" without appearance, taste, or smell. In theory, it may seem like a work of art, but in the end, nobody really understands this art, and apparently not even you, author... (I've been holding onto this comment for several chapters)

Life is literally a breath in cyberpunk, imagine how crazy it is to have your heart stopped by a company, how insane... LET IT BURN

Você acabou de se auto responder com seu comentário.. você entende oque estou falando ou está usando o tradutor também? (Agora entende como não e legal falar em élfico com um humano?)

My theory still stands, and it seems more like a war between races where humans are obviously losing, but possibly not being the only race in this world... this is bringing back vague memories of Chinese works, "upper layer, upper layer," there's always a next level of power beyond the next...

Hmm, that ending really opened my eyes! So they look like dragons or demons? Or is it a completely original race resembling those from "The Beginning After The End"? Actually, this has given rise to the theory in my head that the humans of this world might possibly be the villains of the story, and perhaps this sentient race are the ones who suffered something in the distant past... many mysteries for absolutely no answers.

Look, author, all this heroism seems beautiful at first glance, until we remember what the MC went through in the first and second chapters. He was mocked by everyone, called trash, and with this chapter, what I feared most might actually happen. This MC is DESTINED to become the "Naruto" of this work. The more beatings and humiliation he suffers from others, the more he will protect them with the "power of love." Seriously, I can already see it all happening, him returning to the kingdom to save everyone... I can only summarize this in one word: "PATHETIC." This isn't MC development, but a regression from good development. I'm not talking about revenge, but this indifference will cost the work dearly.
