Yeah, vitality is the same as endurance

Most adventurers treat the dungeon like a 9 to 5, clock in, get some money, get out. Elric is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum + Hestia has never done this before, she doesn't know what it's like to fear for a child's life and not know whether or not they'll come home. Moreover she's the same woman who charged into the dungeon as a powerless goddess just because her child didn't return when she expected him to

Yeah sorry about that, life happens now and then, and as a hobby I can't really invest crazy amounts of time. It's had me considering whether I should make a patreon or not

Had to lay the foundations abit x) starting to speed things up more in recent chapters

Uh it's covered in the first two chapters, but he's aware that his presence has a chance of butterflying Bell out of existence and thus leaving this world without its shonen protagonist. He just couldn't resist coming in the first place because of boredom. So he's essentially speed running every danmachi power strat he thinks he knows in order to try and take Bell's place in case it comes to that. It seems to be going pretty well for him xD

Smoothed out Elric's emotional state a little, added a bit more prelude before he started acting and took away a few bits of monologue that went a bit too far.

Hm, you're the second person to have said that to me; I guess I'll take a look back over it and consider whether toning down some of the points is viable

Elric's initial motivation for joining Hestia's familia was being able to capitalise her attention on top of the ease of joining. In regards to point about Ais? Loki still brags about her all the time and she's downright obsessed with Ais at times. I think the only fanon explanation that works for why Ais only has one skill is her lack of emotions for basically anything but revenge, hence her sole skill being avenger

I honestly have no idea who that is

Oh also in regards to the Ais point, there's exceptions everywhere in canon, the thing like swiss cheese. You can have level twos contributing heavily to the slaying of a level five monster rex and basically getting nothing for it and then you can girls who level from graduating from school because they stressed. There are nothing but exceptions, which is why I just go off the scenes where characters talk directly about leveling up
