... So the thing is, I see that the foundation of the story so far resembles the origins of Emiya Shirou from Fate/Stay Night. That's what caught my attention. Don't get me wrong; I love the Emiyas to death. And I believe that it provides a very strong foundation for any story. People know that there are a LOT more endings to Shirou's story than just three or four. And that's what makes it exciting, in my opinion: each iteration generally ends up wildly different from one another.
What I'm trying to say is this: if this story does continue and you truly attempt to finish it, it would be very interesting to see your own unique way to progress and conclude the story of the "boy who was rescued from hell". Because if I were to write a version of my own, it would look completely different from yours. You have your own thoughts on how his story could end!
But I would say you have to take extra, extra care to ensure that the path your main character takes diverges greatly from the paths that have been already written. That's the only worry I have for this novel.
It's all up to you, of course... I just hope that you will build something unique on this familiar yet strong foundation you've placed down.
Good luck with the contest!
