Quick question for everyone: how many chapters are too many for a prologue? XD
          	
          	Currently, I'm looking at around 15, give or take. I feel that is enough to establish my MC as well as building a strong relationship with Akeno and Rias (the last 3 of the harem to be revealed later [and these are still up for debate, so please feel free to drop suggestions as the story progresses and you learn more and more about the MC and his values and back story]).
          	
          	I'm legit having fun writing again, so I suppose that's a good thing lol. I think it's just giving me a better outlet to express certain emotions that I may not be able to express IRL adequately. I also enjoy interacting with these characters, who have meant so much over the years that, on a regular day-to-day basis, I don't often think about them.
          	
          	Anyway, on to the stuff you all care about, lol. I will be re-reading/watching MHA, so maybe we can get back on a schedule of two stories here soon, with my Ochako book coming back as well. I will have to reread that whole story because I deadass don't remember it at all lol. But I love Ochako, so yeah, she's gotta be coming back, especially with MHA's Final Season. That's going to take a minute, though, just because I will be bringing that one back wholly and not making a whole ass new story. Unless y'all would prefer a new story of that as well. I just feel a lot more confident bringing that one back as is compared to my DxD story, since there was so much I wanted to fix with it.
          	
          	Let me know what everyone thinks. I just want to write more and enjoy it more. Especially since my only other hobby is video games, and there are legitimately no games I want to play XD. So, yeah, let me know what everyone thinks about both what I said in DxD and MHA as a whole.
          	
          	Talk to ya sometime this week with Prologue 2 of DxD!

@kedragneel It's a prologue to the DxD story going forward. I believe we just have different definitions of prologues lol

@MrMcGibbons to me when you have that much introduction it’s not even a prologue at that point it’s just the first arc of the story. A prologue is usually like a brief introduction that hints at the larger story going forward.

Does this mean the MHA series is done for?

@JZJackalJ Better than a no, I've been trying to learn how to write better stories by reading yours

MrMcGibbons

@JZJackalJ Not necessarily. Tbh, I have not read or watched MHA in a long time (since season 4), so I def need to be refreshed on the story as well as read my story again. It may come back, but at this moment in time, it's put on a hold for sure

So I just wanted to say a few things. 
          
          Thank you for sticking around despite the fact that I disappeared! I have been wanting to come back, but I was worried I lost everyone. I think I lost a large portion of my followers (understandably), but maybe I can get them back!
          
          Now onto my new DxD book. I am going to be starting that today. I will say I am thinking about making it a slower burn book IE slower getting to the main story of DXD. I will be introducing the main cast of DXD (Akeno, Rias, Koneko, Kiba) within the first 5 chapters, but it will set at least 1 year before DxD with story and world building for a handful of chapters before getting to the main story of DxD.
          
          I want to build up the relationship(s) between Y/n and the main cast before the main story starts, which was one thing I wanted to do far more in my last story but failed to do so miserably. I think the smaller cast of characters will also help with the relationships.
          
          For that reason I don't really wanna add characters from other animes, but I would accept one so long as they make sense. So no Kyoko Hori or something like that. I just don't want to get crazy, hints why I am only making a harem of 5ish. That way the relationships seem more genuine and less just horn bait, ya know?
          
          Expect the first chapter some time within the next week or two. I also hinted at the cover for the story on my Discord!  https://discord.gg/t2RJMVg4Ym

@stageskevin Plus, this story begins before even Issei was part of Rias's Peerage

@stageskevin The people I wrote were just examples. I didn't put Issei or Irina or Gasper either

@MrMcGibbons when you were writing about the main cast you probably forgot put her name in

So everyone is kind of in agreement that you want a DXD book, understandable since this was kind of what built my profile. 
          
          My thoughts on the DXD book is that I don't want a giant harem if I do it. At most I would want 3-5 people. The obvious one is Akeno since she is best girl, but what other 2-4 would we want if we do a small harem?
          
          I can see everyone in agreeance with Rias since she is the main female protagonist, so I would realistically need 1-3 girls.
          
          Please also refrain from characters who are canonically married (IE Venelana and Grayfia).
          
          Also, realistically I would prefer just a straight Akeno x Reader. Just want that to be known.

@kedragneel Ngl, you're the only one who said Irina and it makes me sad because I freaking love her XD

I’m not holding my breath too much on this but Serafall, Xenovia, and Irina would be my top picks

Henyo!!!!!
          
          Question for all my peeps. I was thinking of coming back to writing as I have kind of missed it. If I do I would really only focus on one, maybe two, stories. I am debating between either starting fresh with a new story for DxD, MHA, my current Asuna x Reader, and my own original idea. Which one would tickle your pickle more?
          
          For the original it wouldn't contain any real spicy scenes, but for DxD, SAO, and MHA I would be up for debate on it.
          
          Let me know what y'all think! And I will be sure to update you all

I was thinking of the same thing… as soon as I fully recover from my confidence shattering

@MrMcGibbons Dxd with a few smut scenes to balance things out I think would be good!
