    Yes, except, remember, the harder you push yourself, the faster it develops, which is why they all got their first [Job] in ten minutes of furiously fighting for their lives, while the magic one from focused fucking about took hours (which is, itself, stupidly fast, and will slow way the fuck...

    So, as to the capability question, remember that a lot, if not most, [Job]s are non-combat oriented. Vey's [Hearthflame Priestess] is obviously combat capable, even if taken to Diamond, and [Arbalestier] is even more so, but a Diamond Rank [Polyglot] would be defenseless, and [Laundress] would...

    Chapter Seven: Spark Notes Looking around at the others, Dylan echoed, "Uh, Gods? Those are, uh, real?" Vey frowned, studying his expression, slowly asking, "How can you not know of the Gods, child?" Ivy rolled her eyes, "I don't know, maybe because we're 'Outlanders'? We don't know stuff...

    Okay, heard. The main issue is likely class size, because, honestly, it's Malik discovering more things (the binary nature of the Veil Light in the last chapter), Dylan just listens to other people, and is the only one who really listens to Malik. You're probably getting stereotypes because they...

    So, I mean this honestly, but which Tropes am I playing too straight that are bothering you, because I think I'm breaking as many, if not more, that I'm using normally, and all stories have some tropes in them, as there's so many it's impossible to tell a story without any, as attempting to do...

    Chapter Six: Back to School Soon enough they were done being violently ill, Thrain having waved someone over to get them water, to wash the taste of sick out of their mouths, all while they very carefully didn't look up. Meanwhile, the carts rolled past them, but had, in the distance, started...

    Chapter Five: The Morning After Sleep did not come easily. Which, considering everything that'd happened, Dylan should've expected. Thrain led them through the camp, as a whistle was blown from the commander, and everyone paused, before starting to move. They rapidly put things away...

    I'll be posting the 'rough' draft here, then Stub it after it's finished, leaving the first few chapters as an 'teaser', then, if I write a sequel, do it again. It's standard practice for Original Fiction, as publishers don't like having what they're asking you to buy up for free elsewhere...

    Kyle very much would be the Hero of another story, and he's definitely the Hero of his own story, but this is not that story, and we don't have his PoV to see his justifications.

    Threadmarks: 1-04: All Aboard!

    Chapter Four: All Aboard! For a moment, no one moved, just staring at the three people who’d come out of nowhere, and killed the Alpha like it was nothing, Sam finally asking, “…what?” The short man hesitated, smile fading, “Oh, I be sure that’d work.” Behind him, the armored woman sighed...

    Chapter Three: Jumping At Shadows Dylan stared at the head for only a moment longer, dragging his eyes off it to the monsters that lurked among the trees nearby, almost out of sight, black against black, the light of the glowing crystal at his own back not reaching that far. “Bartholomew,”...

    Dude, don't worry about it. I literally paid it no mind, past the initial 'Wow, that's dumb' and moving on. And thanks!

    The one that really made me roll my eyes was 'he made Pyrrha a slut who sleeps around a ton', when early on it was explicitly established to be 'she had a single fling, once, with another gladiator, and it didn't work out, which is why she wants romance, but isn't a virgin'. Like, there's an...

    Let me check. Oh, it's a dozen people I don't care about all circle-jerking about how terrible I am, lying about me and my stories where they think I won't see, and going the 'how dare you try and be moral, don't you know everyone's a terrible person!' route. Oh, and of course my 'butchering...
