I liked the start of the story, but as the chapters go on, many comments correct some characteristics of Light the author got wrong, but has no intention of fixing. Also nerfed Light by these mistakes and let's put him in Class C, just cause it is interesting basically is how it is.

Hey, thanks for your review. I appreciate it even if it wasn’t positive; hopefully, it will help me write in the future. I understand why some people would be upset about Light being in Class C even though I think in a perfect world, even if Light is a selfish bastard, no one would ever really find any of his flaws, but when I started writing the story I noticed the cycle of people being bored with class d fics I imagine repetition plays of role in this. I have seen many fics in class b (I think Light would’ve fit well here, but I wanted my story to be unique, and I also don’t find most of class b attractive till year 2), and then there’s the apparent class A which I also thought wouldn’t have been interesting. So you are right. I opted for class c just because it’s interesting, but in my opinion, that’s what a story should be interesting; it should aim to entertain people and show them something new, etc., and I thought class c was best for that, I also thought the idea Light someone who dislikes thugs being surrounded by them would be entertaining. So yes, if you don’t like him in class c, I understand, but while I try to be realistic in my writing (something I feel Cote fics lack), my ultimate goal is to entertain people. Where we disagree is on the characteristics of Light, which I’ve gotten wrong. I’m not saying I’ve portrayed him perfectly, but the main characteristic people have complained about is the fact I haven’t made Light a trained fighter (not that I’ve made him weak or physically inept; you can see that in terms of physical abilities, he is capable). Now, I want to address this. Some people have claimed Light is a trained boxer or fighter, commenting on my story. I have researched this myself, and yes, the internet does show he is a trained fighter/boxer in a quick search, but all, and I mean each and every source that I have found saying so, is addressing non-canon material or fan-made alternate Lights. Prove me wrong if you can, but I haven’t been able to find one canon source that shows Light is trained in martial arts. I’ve addressed this in the notices in my story, and some of the people who thought this said they believed it because someone showed a picture of Light punching L in the face, but they actually didn’t know if the claim was true. Now, in that scene where Light punches L, well, Light also gets destroyed by L in that same scene, and all that punch shows is that Light is strong, and that isn’t anything I’ve denied. When scaling Light’s strength, the only scenes you can point to are that L scene and his encounter with Naomi Misora; in that scene, light says something along the lines of “Oh, if I need to subdue Naomi right now, I could because I’m a man and she’s a woman so naturally I’m stronger” he doesn’t talk about training or techniques or anything but goes right for gender. He says this before learning that she is an FBI agent. You can search the scenario of if Light attacked Naomi on Google, and the consensus is the story probably would’ve ended right there given what we know about Naomi and her training. Sorry, I understand if someone doesn’t like the class c thing, but the whole characteristic of light being wrong (the main one people point out being his martial arts) just isn’t true from anything I’ve seen so it kinda does annoy me especially because my story isn’t focused on any fighting but pure plotting abilities and intelligence which I’ve been told I do well. Sure, there are some scenes where Light avoids fighting or backs off, but Light wouldn’t be readily engaging in violence anyway, and these scenes force him to use his brain instead of me just writing a simple scene where Light just beats someone up to get his way. Anyway, thank you. I won’t lie; I think the two-star review is a bit harsh. I would appreciate it if you removed that claim about me nerfing light because I don't feel that's true, but I'm not going to delete your comment on anything about that. If you're willing to continue giving the story a chance, I’d say, please do so. I think if you don’t like the story by the end of chapter 17 (the end of the first big scheme), then feel free to drop it.
Great response author keep uo the good work
