Heyyy!!!! I just read this comment by chance so had to poke my nose if you don't mind that is. First of all great work on the first arc I absolutely loved it so I sincerely wish that you keep doing good If we are to talk about suggestions then I do have some(it's totally up to you I'm not forcing anything on you): 1. When you introduce love interest(s) for raine I hope there won't be too many of them just 2-3 so that each character has a certain individuality to them which I personally think you will do great as I've read from the first arc the story of stella evertte liara and even the maids so I don't have any doubt that you will do great in that part. I don't really like harem I don't particularly hate it either but it's just that they add way too many girls in the story some of whom are later forgotten or some just remain as sexdolls for the mc and I don't really want raine to grow into that sort of deviant. From the novel's name it is understandable that there will be harem but raine admitted in the beginning chapters that he would take some of harem members so the girls that would be in Aaron's harem would probably range from childhood sweetheart to princess and saintess some demons (even though his father got a feud with them and got the family annihilated he would probably take a demon as a harem member to show the "justice" and "equality" to the world and show how magnanimous he is i.e. if you by generic mc) and other races too so if Raine's gonna steal them he should either focus on someone who he really likes from the story like his favorite female character and a fl who provides biggest strength to Aaron in the story like duke's daughter or elven princess so something because this will also help Raine in the future if he ever contends for the throne or any other big position and if Raine would be straight up going against Aaron he should also go for the childhood sweetheart (oh how my NTR feelings are starting to rise hehe). 2. The characters from previous arc in my opinion should and must not have any or major role in the next arc because they all are some of the strongest beings in the story so if they keep appearing then it would break the flow of Raine's growth as an individual as they were all just shown to help raine grow stronger in magic and swords so when they appear in the story later they should be portrayed like shanks and luffy if you get what I mean. 3. The fight scenes were quite good and absorbent but they were all between and against powerful entities so if Raine's fights are to be shown then they should be good and impactful but if it gets too detailed it wil loose the fun. This is because I think after the timeskip would be aura awakening ceremony and I'm confused whether it will be academy arc or adventurer arc or something different but whatever it may be raine and aaron should not be going at each other right since the beginning of the arc so the story should develop quite deep before their interactions and different POVs should also be written to make it more interesting. If i write anymore I might be able to publish it as a chapter for the novel haha!! But these are my suggestions and opinions and I don't know if you will like it or not but the story has really hooked me up so if I have something like this in the future I'll write it again and it will be completely up to you to consider them or ingnore them but I'll keep poking my nose so bear with it hehe. Well Nothing else to say Keep up the good work Take care of yourself and those around you and Thank You for the novel and ALL THE BEST for the next arc

I don't mind one bit, plus, most of the suggestions you have made I have already implemented into the next chapters lol. I already have a decent chunk of the next arc done since my schedule just got a lot busier, so I'm taking a small break to develop more chapters in a shorter time. -About your suggestions, and I will only give a small amount of insight as to not spoil any fun. Unfortunately, in both novels, Aaron had no childhood friends. Namely because he was branded a traitor's son so early in his life, so he never got the chance to make friends. -Also, about Raine's future development, I started this novel mainly to get away from the "underdeveloped heroines and side characters" cliché, so the odds of Raine ending up like the average manhua protagonist are unfathomably low. Even so, there are still only about 3 heroines in the next arc that will be for him. There will be quite a few fight scenes in quick succession for various reasons, so I'll just release all those at the same time. I will avoid saying anything more since I hate spoilers, so do with this snippet of info what you will. Thank you for the comment and I hope to live up to your expectations. You're kinda like a novel analyst the way you predict these kinds of things, it's crazy lol.
