For a while now, the only notifications I kept getting were that someone added this novel to their library and nothing else. I'm really happy that one of them revealed themselves right now! I hope I'll know from now on that you'll be sticking around, and I hope you're looking forward to what happens next!
You're not alone when it comes to making theories. I for one want to get good at that too, and I'm glad I have some readers who make such comments that I hope to learn from them, too.
I apologize for any confusions regarding the abilities of the Renegades, but I'm glad the way Lucas understood it helped. Being a shonen battle manga fan, I've wanted to create my own battle system for a long time. That doesn't mean you can expect a fight every chapter though, I want to always create some sort of set-up before the inevitable slapdown. This volume, which will end in a few more chapters was meant to be all about how slowly Lucas' non-eventful life was slowly turning upside-down. Next volume will be when things truly start heating up.
Your understanding of my main characters was very in-line with my intentions, by the way. Rio was heavily fleshed out for the reasons you have stated and Lucas was a little more subtle because his character will be exposed through his action in the present day. Doesn't mean we will be looking into his past often, but it's not out of the picture.
It's the middle of the night for me as I wrote this reply, but getting a notification for a comment on my novel after such a long time was the key to waking me up. Not only that, I slept early because I had a jackhammer of a headache. Lo and behold, the comment cured it. True story. Guess I'll take the extra waking hours and motivation to continue writing, then. Thanks again! ;D
