Right, so this chapter is honestly just a voting chapter for stuff and suggestions from you guys. Basically, if you guys have any ideas you would like to see be implemented in the story, put them in the comments of this chapter.
Vote 1: Harem Members [Closed]
So here are the results for the voting:
-4: 17 Votes
-6: 9 Votes
-8: 19 Votes
-10: 8 Votes
So, 8 members won, as you guys can see, though it was a lot closer than I thought. I hope this does not alienate new readers or those who voted for fewer members. I promise to do my best to make the relationships realistic enough, considering what they are, and to make sure that the MC does not have women just throwing themselves at him.
Vote 2: Crossovers [Closed]
So for this poll:
-Yes: 14 Votes
-No: 33 Votes
Yeah, this was overwhelmingly against. I honestly am kind of glad it went like this, as it makes things easier for me, since crossovers would just make things more convoluted.
Vote 3: Puppets
So this is a new voting poll that I am putting up, as I have been thinking about something that I was not sure whether to implement or not. A lot of people have requested for the puppets, which are basically replicas of Organization XIII's members, to be made sentient. If they are to become sentient, they will not be able to leave the dimension, so there is no need to worry about them becoming huge parts of the story. They will just have more personality and a bit more importance than before.
-Yes
-No
As always, give in your vote as a paragraph comment for the option you want or in the chapter comments in the following format, "Vote 3: [Choice]".
Idea Pool:
This section is exactly what it is called. If you have an idea that you want to see, put it here, and I will see it and respond to you with a yes or no. You can comment on this paragraph or put a comment in the chapter comments that says, "Idea Pool: xxxx".
Ideas that were accepted or rejected:
Vendetta240: Shoutout to you, Discord member and a big contributor to the story. You did not give any specific ideas, but you helped flesh out some of mine for the MC's future development, so shoutout to you.
Aza_rel: I do not know if you are in the Discord, but shoutout to you for the great idea. The idea presented was that the MC merge the Forge of Scala ad Caelum into his Sacred Gear, similar to how Issei used one of Albion's gems to gain the ability Divide. That will not be happening, since I want the forge to remain this special place and thing, but the idea of the MC integrating other tools into his Sacred Gear to make it stronger was great and will be used, and will even be a major element in a way, so again, shoutout to you for the frankly brilliant idea.
Kobolt: I also do not know if you are a Discord member, but here is your shoutout. The idea given by this reader was that the story give more focus to kingdom-building aspects due to his Iskandar lineage. It was already on my mind, but the second part about him being Iskandar's descendant being highlighted gave me a lot of ideas for his future power and the way he recruits people. I originally did not plan to use his Iskandar bloodline much, as I just wanted to use it as the reason why he grows fast instead of DxD's way of breasts, but this idea made Iskandar's bloodline a lot more important.
That is all for the ideas. There were others, but all of them were rejected due to containing crossover aspects, so sorry to those readers, but I still appreciate the contribution and effort.
-----(Outro)-----
I'm calling this outro cause I don't know what else to call it. Any other votes that come up will be added here so have fun and keep the comments coming. Thanks for the support and I'm excited to see all of your ideas. Till the next one.
