EP522 chapter 130 . 11/20
Since Dorian is Seekvaira fiance. He is now going to be the future Lord Agares, there should (my idea though) an arc that puts the rewards/consequences of this relationship. If you want to reply visit FFdotNet profile EP522. See ya
EP522 chapter 130 . 11/17
I think that the Crossroads should have their own base of operations, buy and upgrade a house in Japan mustn't be Kuoh Town but preferrably Kuoh Town because of the ever growing team, And also can you add a male member please. And I think I am seeing a pattern here in your harem. Starting from a valkyrie, norse goddess, youkai, devil and an angel, seeing this I would think the next is a fallen angel (since Akeno is taken), vampire, shinto goddess, shinto priestess (both are preferrable to me), other pantheons goddesses and others in the large universe of mythology, since Despoina is dead, maybe another greek goddess is necessary maybe and another return to Olympus. I think Xenovia shouldn't have been paired with Kiba instead with Dorian and Kiba should have been paired with his lady friend. Well the past is the past and is your decision just proposing an idea. If you want to reply me, PM me in my account as EP522. See ya.

Great chapter as always, I have a question is this all of the members of his harem or there will be more and can you please write a new RWBY story with your creativity you are capable of doing it.
ImHateful chapter 32 . 11/17
Tbh I don't even care that much about the Akeno and Zepar part, I'm still stuck on the decision with Xenovia and Kiba being a thing.

I don't see how anything in canon could be considered chemistry between the two besides both wielding swords and having a similar background with the church and that second one is a big stretch.

Both of them had started a fight in their first meeting.

I'm pretty sure Xenovia didn't even like him at the start because of his whole deal with the Excalibur's.

I truly think that. I just cannot wrap my head around that ship, nor do I like it at all.

With Akeno I could see your reasoning but with Xenovia, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem to get better, I cannot settle with that idea at all.

Xenovia wants a strong and caring father for her child.

Proceeds to picks a mentally unstabled repressed man who doesn't know how to deal with his past trauma and would of very likely gone off the deep end without a firm guiding hand, over a mentally mentally matured, well educated man who is willing to do anything to protect his loved ones and willing to go any distance for them, a man who has a strong sense of honor and justice, a man who is gentle and kind, a man who doesn't let his past chain him and willing to force himself to move past it for his loved ones. A man who is a gentleman who treats a woman with the utmost respect and dignity.

It just doesn't seem realistic comparing the two. Yes Kiba can grow but that isn't the Kiba she picked. She picked the present one who hasn't grown into himself yet while Dorian has done and accomplished everything that I stated already.

I don't know how to explain it correctly other than Dorian should have held her attention way more than Kiba because he has proven himself already in comparison to Kiba who was just starting to heal.

There was no moments that could of sparked her interested in him besides him saving her and yet Dorian had also saved her as well as trying to help her.

I don't know man, I just don't see how it was even possible to out Xenovia and Kiba together when you have Dorian. If it was the future Kiba with feats and fully healed alright but comparing the two side by side at the point of chapter 32, you can tell that one of them is lacking and it isn't Dorian.

Another strike, Akeno and that's enough said.
ImHateful chapter 42 . 11/16
Disappointed again. I'm reading your comments and Kiba and Xenovia really? I would rather have had her with Dorian, I have no interest in their relationship. This just makes me want to skip their dialogue and scenes if they have any that is. I'm skimming the author notes just in case so I don't waste my time with something I won't like in the end and I'm beginning to feel disinterested with continuing with what I found so far. Hopefully there isn't anything too off putting continuing forward with my research, I've spent sometime already reading up to thirty chapters of this and I'm hoping to everything that it is worth continuing
ImHateful chapter 31 . 11/16
This is disappointing. I don't really like the idea of them staying in the Hyoudou, seems unnecessary and kinda forced in my opinion. I've been hesitant in moving forward because I feel like this story is just going to be rehashing canon events just with added elements without changing the ending of the event. This fear was sprouted during the holy sword arc with it's conclusion and nor further reinforced with your comments on following canon as well as this little idea of having them stay with the Hyoudou family when it wasn't necessary at all, instead they could of and should have had their own house. There was no need for a foster family and even then this idea made no sense at all because of the conversation they just had right before this about making their roles as pretending to be students believable and hiding themselves, it doesn't really scream stealth and low-key living in an abomination of a house, any supernatural enemy would be able to pinpoint them just by that, not even going into the fact that they're living with known devils.
8 chapter 130 . 11/12
I liked it looking forward to where you go with it next, so many places the Qlippoth can attack you can't deffend them all ( and just as a note in war you don't have to completely destroy an enemy just weaken them where they cant send there full force at you all at once). Also hope you do the mountains of madness was my favoret.
Look forward to gasper saveing his lover good luck my boy your at 2 one more and its a harem lol.
I would like to see them use fath more as we know its how the strongest stay the strongest and how Dragon boy grows so fast with the worship of millions of children.
Hades gets more and more interesting would like to see his children but we will see, he is op when he gets off his bones and realy fight gonna be fun
Lastley can't wait to see what dxd is (ps try to read the novel it gets worse and worse as it goes where did he learn to power scale say that to say the anime is like a complete difrent story kinda sad)
swid16kawail chapter 130 . 10/25
I wonder if there will be any reference to the black pharaoh, and why the Egyptian pantheon

would also lead to the dream world, one of Lovecraft's most important places?

Irina and Seekvaria finally confess. That's great. Obviously, sex is out of the question for now for reasons already stated. Though, Irina still has that ritual.
fanficcyberman chapter 130 . 10/23
So Irina and Seekvaira finally admit their feelings and join the Dorian love club. Also Elmen and the vampire are know part of the alliance and crossroads, its nice to see the pure blood vampire Elmen be self conscious about her new outfit.

Well after finding out Hades reason for hating dragons I can't blame him. Add to the fact that souls were stolen out from under his none existent nose and I too would be pissed. I don't know who should be more mad Hades or Dorian with people thinking he's still a virgin.

Amazing chapter. What a way to end an arc, This chapter was filled with beautifully crafted scene that really made you feel. From the relief that a battle is over, stress of dealing with the aftermath of the battle and the anticipation of what's to come next.

The part that I wasn't expecting was learning about Hades hatred for dragons and why. the line not all her injuries can be seen add with Persephone actions of coming back in a minute later was heart retching, along with Hades going from Cold and calculating to gentle and kind when Persephone entered almost made me cry.

Thank you for writing this amazing story that I and many others enjoy reading. Hope you have a restful hiatus and can't wait to see what you come up with in the next chapter.
horakthy.baraq chapter 130 . 10/23
A good chapter, Elmenhilde's reactions when she saw that no, vampires were not as superior as she thought.
The scenes of Gasper with Koneko and Issei with Ingvild were nice to read, as well as Dorian with his girls.
It seems that Xenovia and Tsubaki's greatest rival has appeared.
Guest chapter 130 . 10/23
He's a homicidal skeleton who dresses like a Sultan, so why was Hades so cute this chaper with Persephone.

Gah I almost don't want Hades to be defeated by the good guys since him being locked up would mean leaving Persephone alone.
