Alright, I'm getting back into my mojo even though this thing took longer than expected to come out. Think of it as me warming up again or something like that.

Gosh!!! why are u fellow readers being so mean to our dear author.
          U know he is writting things that are not even in the canon AOT verse. You gotta give him some appreciation for his hard work in delivering these chapters.

It’s not that I find it rude or mean—it’s just irritating, the topics being complained about, that is.
            
            Not to get even started on how said complainer talked in a way that looked down on me as if they knew what was going through my head while writing is super irritating.
            
            I’ll take the complaints and criticism into consideration but if they cannot back themselves up and convince me otherwise—it’s just annoying and a waste of time.

"I'm talking about the last three chapters only. By comparison, the pace of the earlier chapters was a bit faster, don't you think?
          
          Also, I'm not the type of reader to demand anything from the author. For example, I don't like how Kiyotaka compares Classroom of the Elite and Attack on Titan characters, who grew up in completely different environments and have completely different worldviews, yet I didn't say anything.
          
          I'm also not telling you what to do; I'm merely asking politely. Can you keep the pace of the story as it was in the earlier chapters? I really like the story. Asking me to just stop reading the story outright for simply expressing my thoughts on the pace seems a bit too harsh, don't you think?"

@SujitTumram See? This is the main issue I have here—Where are the stakes and the conflict going to come from? There's a reason why there's over 12k words for just this section alone—to give the characters proper characterization and start to build up tension for future PLOT.
            
            Is it, again, not stated that Ashes in the Sky will be way more laid back and NOT involve violence to achieve one's goals? Characters needed for conflict need to be fleshed out so it seems IN CHARACTER. When giving a direct comparison, Kiyotaka, in that case, is sizing a potential opponent up.
            
            Kiyotaka is dealing with the NOBILITY here. They are selfish and power-hungry. Does that remind you of someone? Could it not be, within the population of nobility or even within the walls, the 1.25 million people that there is at least ONE person with intelligence high enough for Kiyotaka to mark them as a threat?
            
            There's Erwin, for one—why can't there be more?
            
            It is not a difference in civilization nor is it unnecessary or illogical. The premise goes off the very nature of the class to which the character is from and the potential for conflict in the eyes of the protagonist.
            
            I operate on proper characterization and the audience knowing how this certain character WILL operate in different scenarios—THAT WAS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE GALA—Introduce a set of characters that'll be the main driving forces of the story.
            
            THAT is why I'm saying to be patient

"I don't think you understood what I wanted to say, so I'll be as blunt as possible. I'm saying that the last three chapters, which are 12,565 words, could have been perfectly condensed into two chapters of around 4,000 words each or close to that.
            
            Also, there’s a difference between references and comparisons. When you wrote about Ryuuen and Sakayanagi, that was a reference. But when you wrote about that man (I'm assuming it was Ayanokoji Atsuomi), it was a comparison. The reason I don't like it is because Classroom of the Elite characters are from the 21st century, while Attack on Titan characters are from the 18th century. The former comes from a globalized civilization, while the latter is from an isolated island civilization living inside walls. Their worldviews are so different that it's like comparing a magical character to a non-magical one.
            
            It feels unnecessary and illogical.
            
            That said, I don't have any problem with Kiyotaka referencing characters from Classroom of the Elite."

No I will write the story how I want to write it because it’s my intention to write it that way. 
            
            You’re expressing your feelings and I will respect that—even if I think they’re unreasonable (Why the hell wouldn’t Kiyotaka make references to people he knew in the past? It builds tension and gives readers references to go of of) 
            
            Again to reiterate. I will write the story in the way I want. The entire premise of the First Arc was meant to build and introduce AOT’s world and the problems he’ll have to deal with in the future. 
            
            BE PATIENT.
