Jin has always done things with his emotions, whether he verbally showed it, or just through his monologue, we find more out in his Episode chapter. We have over 1 million words of his thoughts and feelings, something like this was the furthest thing from 'forced' from writing. As a published writer, there are very little things that are 'forced' in stories, only amateurs and people who haven't written anything and usually call it that. 99% what's written in the story will fit the narrative (especially with talented writers) if you just look past the surface level writing and just think about that scene in the context of the entire story, plus that character (s) overall character arc.

There isn't much to say about this since it's just an extra book that contains side stories to the main fan fiction. It's as detailed as the rest and mostly focuses on SOL. However, there are some chapters that have relevant information that might have been skipped over in the main fanfic. I spoke to you on FF.NET and it seems you plan on continuing the series here once the main fan fiction ends, so I also look forward to that.

With the completion of Volume 6, I thought I'd add a bit more to this review. As predicted, Jin/Aaron (MC) evolves at the end of Volume 6, whatever that entails, we'll see in Volume 7. However, it was an interesting journey of self-discovery and reflection for him as he tries to move forward with his life both past and present. He more or less gets that done, but also wants to be selfish and bring back two people back to life, which is fine because of all the tragedy and BS he's forced to face. We also got his full or partial(?) backstory. It felt like there were some things left out because of Webnovel's limited word count per chapter, but I digress. Now I'm interested in seeing what Volume 7 and Volume 8 (Last volume apparently) has in store, Volume 7 should conclude DxD, ExE and CxP. While Volume 8 will cover Tensura in the author's words. So, to reiterate what this novel/fan fiction is about, it's not purely power fantasy as it has a lot of themes and other nuances sprinkled throughout the story. As the author mentioned, in both synopsis' (front of book + auxiliary chapter) that this is the MCs emotional and mental growth, and he won't be the perfect character and won't do 100% the correct decisions. Unlike so many unrealistic MCs I've read on this site. I've only read a few others where it made me want to continue, and the only other reason I'm here is because the author doesn't update per chapter on AO3, but he does on FF.net, Scribblehub and Wattpad from what I could see. Anyway, thank you for this fun and emotional novel, author. As a writer who self published some books IRL, and have been in the fan fiction scene for 10 years, this was one of the more interesting DxD fanfics I've read in a while.

You literal know thing about writing, please be quiet.

You haven't paid attention to anything if that's your conclusion nor you understand his personality after all this. Many instances like this happen in many novels. "Why didn't Sirzechs and the OP Gods do everything for Issei and the rest of their powers can solve it all", "Why doesn't Anos kill everyone when he's above them all, even without his true power, his 10% or whatever can still kill most god's and power people in his world". It's simple, a bit of common sense, it's plot, like what the author said in various comments. Like those novels I also mentioned. What you want is a simple power fantasy, with nothing else. With characters like this, every book would end in 1 chapter since they can just click their fingers and end any conflict. How would that be entertaining to read? Anyone who has written any kind of literary work would understand this, since they know the process of writing engaging worlds that aren't the one dimensional messes you want. As someone who's wrote 2 original novels and getting professional opinions is real life groups, most the complaints you have are only there because the MC doesn't do everything perfectly and does things YOU want, which the author literally mentioned in the Synopsis in the Auxiliary chapter. And as far as I can remember, the author makes jabs at your type of reader many times already in this fan fiction lol.

Thank you for this work. I had a hunch that the last 1% Jin needed to evolve was that question Penemue asked him since Azathoth said "no" back then. I'm excited for Volume 7&8 and your future works. I personally think you've improved quite a bit as an author and congrats on 2.2 million words. Thank you again for this reimagining of the entire story.

The same as my last question, any info on this? If you don't mind sharing.

I'm curious about this, do you have a synopsis for this or have any information about it?

Thank you for the chapter. Jin going into some kind of coma was hinted at a few times, so I wasn't too surprised, and one of the hints was also mentioned before he transformed into his “True” Diabolos Dragon God form. We finally got interactions between Jin and his previous mother. The small flashback/dream-sequence about his past and birth showed that his mother did genuinely love him, but we're still left in the dark about the months leading up to the end of his life. So I'll assume it's going to be in an “Episode” chapter in the future. On another note, I like this paragraph: “A man made of love, a man made to love, a man made to share love. A man who showed kindness to everyone he met, yet was still merciless. Vasco Strada couldn’t help but think that Jin Skyward was the second coming of his beloved Lord and wished to follow him to the ends of the earth.” With the personality and character we know about Jin so far, it perfectly encompasses him. This may change once we get his full backstory, an “Episode” chapter might come soon about his previous life. He has shown open hostility and hate towards certain people and will still hold grudges (Suou Himejima and Azrael), but with Suou, because he believes in Suzaku and Shuri, he's willing on giving him a chance even if he doesn't believe it himself. At the same time, with most people that he holds no suspect to, he will open his arms to them into become friends. So I don't blame Vasco Strada for seeing Jin like the second coming of the God of The Bible. He might see him even more than that since it's been stated in the light novels that the God of The Bible hated snakes and dragons because of Ophis. The fact that Jin has Ophis as a lover is a testament to his love for anything and everyone (include Kiba/Kira in this because he's slowly getting used to the idea).

Jin Skyward meets Jin Mori. Nice reference.
