Thank you for the review, and I understand your point of view regarding power scaling and character development. These are things I try to do in a more plausible way, but because I don't know writing techniques or anything like that, it becomes a bit complex to convey what I'm trying to do. For example, I didn't make the characters stronger than a captain, I just created situations where it would be possible for them to fight. The captains themselves, for example, haven't had a serious fight in centuries and the Soul Society has been at peace for a long time, so even though they are very powerful, they were still slightly rusty and still saw humans as inferior beings. A similar situation happens in Saint Seiya with the Gold Saints. They would never fight seriously right away because they already know they are strong and have the conviction that they wouldn't even be injured in a fight. Soi Fon was unstable because of Yoruichi and still almost killed Tatsuki, considering that a character in the Bleach universe who is very shaken cannot fully use their Reiatsu (in the anime/manga, this happens several times, but since Tite Kubo does this in a... ridiculously subtle way, it ends up making it seem like things happened... just because). For Chad, I only based it on the fact that in the original plot, Shunsui comments that Chad's last blow could have seriously injured him. As everyone who knows Shunsui knows, to even scratch him... it would have to be something very exaggerated (He takes a Cero from Starrk at point-blank range and only gets a scorch mark on his haori). So I just increased Chad's power a bit, but made him lose anyway. Ichigo himself, who is the only one who could rival a captain, didn't have any solo victories against Zaraki and Byakuya. (Against Zaraki, Zangetsu uses Blut to stop his wound and lets a bit more of Ichigo's latent power leak out, a power that Zaraki's reiatsu hadn't yet adapted to. Against Byakuya, Ichigo clearly would have lost if Hollow Zangetsu hadn't appeared and left Byakuya gravely injured to the point that they were evenly matched for one final blow.) Uryū needs to sacrifice his powers to defeat Mayuri, and even then he was already poisoned and would have died. In the original plot, he is saved because Nemu gives him the antidote, whereas here in the story I had him treated by Inoue (who, by the way, only received a boost in her self-esteem, as she felt she didn't do anything for anyone during the Soul Society arc As for the MC, he used the advantage of already knowing what Tōsen does and took advantage of that to fight in a cowardly way to destabilize Tōsen.

As for the development of the MC, it's complicated... I created the character with the intention of him being more introspective, easily distracted, and more focused on his thoughts. Whether we like it or not, it's very easy to react to situations when you already know what will happen, so at first he acts quite confidently, but when things start to happen that he doesn't expect, he starts to worry, because if something that was simple for him has already changed, no matter how simple, just the fact that the change occurs is enough to trigger the thought in his mind that 'something worse might happen in the future.' He was still adapting to this world he already knew, so having to adapt to the unknown is something that worries him. It's complex to explain this or maybe it just works better in my mind. xD Anyway, thank you for taking the time to write a review.

This part can make sense if him zoning out wouldn't cause bad things to happen in the first place. The main issue is where he decides to zone out, not that he zones out or the fact that he's in his head a lot. It's just feels forced atm and it's weird.

Uryu losing his powers was already a thing, so that makes sense. Ichigos is acceptable. The thing with Chad was definitely just the captain giving him credit. Mostly, the issue lies with Tatsuki being considerably stronger than should be plausible. The MC's powers have a ton of potential, so his makes sense, but Tatsuki being a fullbringer and becoming so strong that she can even contend with Soi Fon regardless of how emotionally unstable she is, is odd. I really do like your story, though, so I hope this doesn't seem too harsh of a comment/review. Keep up the good work 👍

In regards to Tatsuki, I just leveled her with the rest of the group because she did some 'impossible' things in the original plot. When Yammy absorbs the souls of several people, Tatsuki manages to survive, even though she becomes very weak, considering that Yammy is an Espada, an Arrancar at a captain's level regardless of how much people dislike him. And Aizen, after undergoing numerous evolutions to the point where ordinary people would turn to dust just by being near him (even beings with spiritual energy, as happened when a group went to take him out of the Muken), and Tatsuki not only survives near him but doesn’t even faint from his spiritual pressure. Although she falls to her knees, it doesn’t change the fact that it was quite... improbable. And this was when she was just an ordinary human. By that logic, Ichigo shouldn't have easily defeated Ginjō in the Lost Agent arc XD

And don't worry about commenting. I enjoy it when someone makes comments like this because it helps me get an idea of what to do or not to do to make the story more believable. Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

That's fair, except for the Ichigo thing. Ichigo never made sense and is just an "impossible" mix of things to begin with. And I'd be fine with Tatsuki being stronger than she was. That part isn't an issue. It's just the rate at which she's growing, that is.
