@Gouravnegi227 wdym "new one"? The current one ain't even halfway done

@TodoAkabane, you're welcome. I quite enjoy talking about things like these, since, given it's COTE, there are a lot of, let's say, die-hard fans who tend to overfixate on the powerscaling aspect too much. Not that I mind it per se, I just think too much powerscaling debate drains the entire fun out of a story.

Your logic makes sense. 
            If the story mainly focuses on how the characters evolve within an oppressive environment, then Ritsu doesn’t really remove the adversity, since the real conflict comes from the system itself and not the exams. 
            Thanks for taking the time to explain everything

@TodoAkabane that is to say, in a shorter form, sorry for the wall of text, that the story is less about manipulation wars for winning like most cote stories that I've read at least, and more focused on character drama. That's the whole reason for the crossover in the first place.

@NecroGal sup. Ye. Still alive

The thing I love the most is they are all mostly the same message: “Hi! I’m [insert job name] specialist, and [proceeds to give the most generic positive review about your story and characters]. Hit me up in discord!” I can’t help but laugh whenever I get a comment like that lmfao

@ Pita_the_Bread  reminds me of those so-called "editors" who reached out to me en masse the second I passed 1k followers here. Lmao

@ Pita_the_Bread  yup, like so many other places, they sure love to screw you over when it comes to language with outta nowhere bans and such.
            
            But they sure don't bother to deal with all the bots despite how obvious they are!

That's completely fair. I'm realizing in hindsight after getting some sleep that I may have come off a little strong, so sorry about that. Honestly, most of the stuff I listed could either be cut entirely with minimal impact on the grand scheme of what I had planned or was otherwise generic-ish enough that listing it just made the list longer for almost no reason.
            
            I guess it was mainly just the K Project elements that I was asking to borrow when you get right down to it, but I have this habit overcomplicating things at times, so sorry again about that. If I did make use of anything other than that from the list, then it would definitely be changed enough to be my own thing and not just a copy-paste of your story.
            
            Regardless, thanks so much for both hearing me out, as well as all the amazing content over the years.

@Dragonslayer413 I mean, you pretty much listed everything that I've added on my side to borrow. So I'm not exactly sure if your intention is to write a fanfic of a fanfic or just general crossover.
            
            Everyone is free to do their own. DXD/Darksiders crossover, I don't own either. But I'd appreciate if it didn't feel too much like a rehash of what I did.

@ReiJei18 but it's in the works. Halfway through

@ReiJei18 not this week. Got relatives over and got many younger nephews that make it hard to write

Wow, was not expecting such a quick response 
            
            1&2 I feel ya on your first answer, I remember those times. Even now it feels like sifting for gold in a barren river, looking for anything good that is. Just a different narrative, now it feels like all we can find is reusing old ideas, like yours or “gamer.” That, or crossover slop galore. 
            
            3. That’s fair, I had honestly watched DxD before puberty. And I was more trying to dig into if it had meant anything to you as a kid. But I think I worded it poorly.
            
            4. You think DxD will still have relevance with next generation? Or do you just mean in general, and with all fictions. 
            
            5. Yes that’s also very fair, I think you had one of the oldest stories out of all authors I asked. You and the original “Gamer” author.
            
            6. I actually haven’t heard of that one, I’ll be sure to check it out.
            
            7. You’re probably right, sadly I’d have no idea because I’ve never personally enjoyed Naruto.
            
            Thanks again for answering my questions, In the future when others answer, I hope to poll them together and get a consistent answer that I can share back with you. I asked 9 or 10 authors, but a few haven’t been on for a few months.

            1 and 2:  the lack of original concepts for fics at the time. Dragon emperor this, dragon emperor that. Blue, green, purple. It was like a poor power ranger randition. So you could say I wrote out of spite to showcase a more yet to be done crossover.
            
            3: That's goes for most animes of that genre. It isn't really interesting or peculiar. It's just a given in puberty you're more likely to watch such shows.
            
            4: Sort of. Soon enough it'll be another generation change on the site. As it's more common to write fics the more time passes.
            
            5:  I'm not as in touch with these shows anymore, so I can't tell.
            
            6: Adventures of Black Flash
            
            7: LOL. No. Anyone who thinks that is new to the scene. If anything Naruto has a shot at that title.
