Congratulations for making it to the end of Volu 2? How was it? I hope everyone enjoyed it. It's been a really challenging experience for 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 sothing better (wherever that may be) everything will still be the sa 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 to be able to solely focus on this work.
The next volu will begin after another ti skip. So for those who have been asking for it, congratulations! Kazuya will be a little older at the start of the next volu.
.
Now off we go to the question and answer portion. I've browsed through the comnts section for the whole volu and I'm glad that so people have been helpful in answering so 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 ti I am typing this up. (Note that they are questions from both the comnts section and discord)
.
Pavook: 2 years? (ti skip) So he is 8y old now?
A: Volu one ended in winter where sowhere it was ntioned that it was almost his birthday. Ti skip took more than two years and started near the end of spring. So he is 9 when volu 2 began.
.
Jon1031: Should I put every typo I find in the comnts?
A: It would be faster on discord since I rarely check the comnts 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 aning 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 ti. If they don't know what it ans for literature to have 'character developnt' 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 sothing as low as a 1 star is understandable. The ones that spam bad reviews for the heck of it or because of sothing that happened early on in volu just makes 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 mont. Though I have been receiving a lot of requests asking where my previous stories have been published. My answer remains the sa 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 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 i?? It's my personal opinion but maybe he could be better with robot girl because of their age.
A: i 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 ntioned in the first volu, 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 ans that there are bonus chapters sponsored by these patrons.
.
GembeRForceS: From what I rember 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 na and family na start with 'K' ???
A: That only applies to the Kouzuki clan. I made it sowhat 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 aning.
.
CrimsonDragonKing: Did they have guns? Was there any ntion 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 sotis 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 beca very strict. Many civilians have never seen a gun in their lives. The relationship between gun possession and cris 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.
Hopefully this sheds so light.

Lolhappy: Author San I would say it would be better if you add a character list
A: I've already put one up at the end of Volu 1 and will most likely be putting one up at the end of volu 2 as well.
.
JadeGazardiel: Do you know the na of Bruce Lee's brother?
A: Which one? If it's the vegan brother, then its Broco Lee
.
VirtuousParagon: What's SS chapter?
A: Side Story Chapters. They are going to be put most likely after this one.
.
Brezer: I am wondering how many chapters this story is going to have. Every ti we start getting to the at and potatoes of the story we end up going off on a tangent to stuff that seems to not have any effect on the story. All of these backgrounds characters, are they going to the other world are they driving the story.... why are we even reading about them. If we are building background for all these people to go over then ya ok but if they don't then this is all useless filler that is detracting from the main path of the story. I like the story but really just trying to understand what we are reading all this filler for.
A: Even I don't know how many chapters this story is going to have. At least, not yet. Like most people who interacts with in discord know, I have the story in my head, what's going to happen, what needs to happen, etc. the only problem is how I tell the story. As for the other concern, soone already gave an answer I quite agreed with in the comnts section. I'll put it here as well.
Overlord_Venus: There is actually a good reason for that, while these characters may seem like A,B,C but they are what slowly influence and change kazuya's character, try to read once again from the first chapter then you'll understand many subtleties you might have missed the first ti ( I got to know why only in my second read), hope this helps
.
SootheSayre: How old is the Demon King and his daughter?
A: Hellion is a few centuries old while his daughter's age is currently unknown.
.
Funtastechick: How old was kazuya before he died when he's at edea?
A: He never aged when he was summoned. A high school kid
.
owY: Can I ask questions that isn't related to the novel?
A: As long as it's not too off track?
.
overlord_venus: I'm trying to write my first novel. how do you write Ruruci?
A: (posted this on discord sowhere)
My take on when you are deciding whether you're going to create sothing to publish or not;
1. decide what you want to write about
2. make sure that what you write about interests you, yourself (this is so that the chances for you dropping it when you eventually experience a block lessens)
3. begin thinking about what kind of person your MC will be (if you can't decide, make him/her similar to yourself)
4. think about what you want to happen in your story
5. start constructing specific main events in your head that should happen in the novel.
6. start thinking about how you want to start it.
7. think about whether the story is sothing that you are actually interested in because an aspiring writers who would drop their stories with reasons such as disinterest or blockage are absolute garbage
8. Start writing it. and think about who/what types of characters you'd want your MC to hang around with or which characters would support him
9. ask a friend to read it or tell them about it and ask for what they think (make sure this person is into reading because friends that are illiterates and prefer to watch shows rather than read are useless)
10.If you want to post it, make sure you have a reasonable lead in case you end up with delays and what not
11. Think about what you're doing once again. If you really want to do this, make sure what you're getting yourself into
12. enjoy the ride and don't let haters get to you. Not everyone will like what you write no matter what.
13. Tank the haters and focus on the people that enjoy what you write. They are the ones who matter (This is important so i had to list it down again. People will try and bring you down)
14. Never stop learning and improving your craft and appreciate those who support and encourage you.
.
That is all the ti we have for right now. So if I missed any questions, I do apologize. I will be releasing the promised SS afterwards and Volu 3 will begin after I take a little ti to recover, think, and prepare the releases for Royal Road, Tapas, etc.
We have reached the top 20 by the ti I'm writing this and I would like to thank all those who have given their powerstones to make it happen. Thank you for your support!
A special Shout out to those who have been helping out with the errors, typos, edits and what not. JadeGazardiel, Ryou, Arion, your help is much appreciated.
