Woah! This was the highlight of my day because long comments truly are the best! :D
First of all, I'm really pleased that you and a few others feel my characters to be human. It seems to me that my characters have made their mark and I hope that this can help you try to understand their future motives or their reasons for a certain action. I'll do my best to work my way towards that!
Also, I'm really glad Mr Faust's getting some really nice reception from you guys and I'm really happy he did. He's got some shoes to fill in this story for a reason and I'm looking forward to what that is.
It's my desire to write this as an action/adventure story that focuses on character development as the story goes along. I hope to incorporate what makes me love battle manga/anime so much too like a story behind the fight, a battle of ideals, a debate between characters through the use of trading blows, lots of brutality and of course, epic fight scenes. I'm clearly not there yet, but I'm excited to see how my words will play it out!
You're also right on the story just getting started. It's been over 16 chapters but only a day has passed in the story! I can't write fast because I'm too much of a perfectionist who keeps editing the same paragraph countless times for several hours because I want myself to feel struck with emotion. I also want to update regularly so my readers have less of a chance of forgetting previous events, which is why I made each chapter focus on a few events at a time. That's also why I supported you when you asked if shortening the content of your chapters was a good idea.
Welcome to the bandwagon, James. We're comrades in arms now! :D
