120 Afterword/ Q&A II (1/2)

.

Congratulations for making it to the end of Volume 2? How was it? I hope everyone enjoyed it. It's been a really challenging experience for me so I hope that those who've made it this far appreciate just how much work and thoughts I've put into this.

As for those of you who are dreading the spirit stones cost, fret not! I have decided to turn down the offer Webnovel has given because of their inflexibility to change the terms I found that were unreasonable. So until I receive something better (wherever that may be) everything will still be the same as it has always been.

I especially want to thank the patrons who have given their support. I want them to know that their help is greatly appreciated. Every help is one step closer for me to be able to solely focus on this work.

The next volume will begin after another time skip. So for those who have been asking for it, congratulations! Kazuya will be a little older at the start of the next volume.

.

Now off we go to the question and answer portion. I've browsed through the comments section for the whole volume and I'm glad that some people have been helpful in answering some of the new readers' concerns. I didn't get to see much that were left unanswered by the later chapters so I will address those that I've seen by the time I am typing this up. (Note that they are questions from both the comments section and discord)

.

Pavook: 2 years? (time skip) So he is 8y old now?

A: Volume one ended in winter where somewhere it was mentioned that it was almost his birthday. Time skip took more than two years and started near the end of spring. So he is 9 when volume 2 began.

.

Jon1031: Should I put every typo I find in the comments?

A: It would be faster on discord since I rarely check the comments section after my initial check when I post the chapter. Much appreciated for the help.

.

Lauwn: Ringo = Apple?

A: If you're asking about the meaning of the word then yes. Ringo Japanese for Apple

.

Tweis: I'm amazed at how much bad reviews are coming in. They stopped reading very early and most of them quit after the MC brush off Tomoyo and Kurumi. Why don't you answer or reply to these reviews to make it clear to them?

A: Not going to waste my time. If they don't know what it means for literature to have 'character development' then it would be better for them to stop reading early. These guys even went as far as using alt accounts to upvote their bad reviews so why feed the trolls? I just hope that the current readers can upvote the reviews that they agree with.

Tweis: I did that. Why not just report them for abuse though?

A: I have. But webnovel doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. I don't really mind bad reviews as long as the reasons they have for giving something as low as a 1 star is understandable. The ones that spam bad reviews for the heck of it or because of something that happened early on in volume just makes me laugh. Hopefully they find actual quality novels to broaden their horizons.

.

qostoc: Do you have any other novel you are working on right now?

A: Not at the moment. Though I have been receiving a lot of requests asking where my previous stories have been published. My answer remains the same on the previous q/a section and say that I only have the raws of what I've written in the past. The ones that were published and edited were on sites that have already went down (I've checked most of them)

.

VersusZero: Is it just me overthinking or did the author's Dao (of cliffhanger) is improving?

A: That's just an illusion… I don't know what cliffhangers are…

.

KuroKagami: Why is the story keep making kazuya ship with mei?? It's my personal opinion but maybe he could be better with robot girl because of their age.

A: Mei is the closest person to Kazuya because she was the only one he really cared about on earth in his previous life. She is, as mentioned in the first volume, his first love/crush.

.

BlackKnight42: Are there any extra chapters if we subscribe on patreon?

A: The way it works 'currently' is that bonus chapters can be sponsored by patrons to be released on days where there are supposed to be no releases. Currently, my schedule is 3 chapters a week. So if you notice that the chapters are coming daily, it means that there are bonus chapters sponsored by these patrons.

.

GembeRForceS: From what I remember MC will get summoned in middle school right??

A: He was supposed to be in his first year of high school when he was summoned.

.

WeepingAngel: I see Author has improved in his cliff-dao. I wonder which level Author is?

A: Level 0… It's all an illusion…

.

LonleySnow: I don't know why but I have to ask why almost everyone's name and family name start with 'K' ???

A: That only applies to the Kouzuki clan. I made it somewhat of a tradition for them at this point (If written in the English alphabet that is). Though in Japanese, staring syllables don't matter because they always change depending on the meaning.

.

CrimsonDragonKing: Did they have guns? Was there any mention of guns in this operation? Even from the fodder? Author-san care to explain why we still don't have real weapons? Even Kaguya still doesn't have a real sword. All we have are kendo practice swords and fists.

A: There are many laws controlling the possession of firearms and swords. Even the in the police, there is a heavy restriction when they should use or sometimes even carry guns (only those detectives and ranked higher can carry them if I'm not mistaken). Even if one has a licensed gun, the law prohibits it from being carried out in the open because of the weapons and firearm ban.

Guns have been controlled in Japan since the late sixteenth century.After the Second World War, gun control became very strict.Many civilians have never seen a gun in their lives. The relationship between gun possession and crimes or suicides has not been studied in great detail.There are very few deaths by gunshot in Japan, which has a low homicide rate overall.The suicide rate, on the other hand, is very high, and many speculate that if Japanese people were able to possess guns more freely, the suicide rate would rise sharply.
