ghesoughosrdgh this chapter was awesomeeee, nya ovo
The fight scene could have flowed a little better, I think, but the part after, with Kamui and Yuuto and Miya and all, this is perfeeectttt, character development for Yuuto coming in this arc? gjrighor yessss I cannot wait to see how this goes TwT
Keep up the good work, Lou-chaannnn! xD

Aaaawwwwww, sweetest chapter ever TvT
And [Death] sitting down with Yuuto and eating a chocolate banana... yeah... that's a nice touch xDD

Still, sooooo Yuuto/Ennis goes ahead, huh, I wasn't expecting my hopes to be crushed *that* quickly T-T
Oh well, this story isn't even half over, right? So who knows what might happen ;v;
It is uuultra-sweet anyway, nya TvT

And yeah, [the Reaper] is right... [Love] is a complicated thing ;-;

Uwaaaahhh, yaaayyyyy, everyone's back togetherrrrrr TwT
And yayyyyy [the Reaper] appeared ehehehehehe cx
That was a suuuper-cool ending, though, nya, Double Arc so cooolllll x3
And ghjrosghrdogr Claireeeeeee Claire is on Yuuto's side nowww yessss soo happyyyyy, now Ennis just needs to go away so Yuuto/Claire can happen -w- /that will never happen but oh well

Ohhh, pffffffffffft, okay this was like everything I was *not* expecting rolled up into one ;v;;;
Claire is... okay sheeeee is ultra-adorable even if she tried to kill Yuuto ;-;
/now I simultaneously ship Yuuto/Claire more and less than I did before, nya ovo

Still, uuuuu that was really well-done with the trick, nya, with Claire's backstabbing, I was really empathizing with her and all and kyaaahhh I felt personally betrayed there butistilllovehi...her ;v;

So it was edited huh? It seemed nice to me. Wow it really reminds me of an MMO when you described the marketplace and town.

The pacing is a little fast for me, but that's coming from a guy who wrote slow paced stories hahaha. Oh and the amount of ecchi is nice. One thing that bothers me is that it's a little generic but I want to see if there's any originality later on.

That move which Yuuto uses to catch the sword with his fingers reminds me of Lu XiaoFeng (which is a popular wuxia character created by Gulong). Apologies if the reference is a little alien and obscure. And to continue the string of wuxia references, I thought Ennis and Yuuto are starting to resemble a bit like Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu from the legend of the Condor Heroes, and it's not really a far-fetched comparison considering that Yang Guo has a harem of girls in love with him as well.

Er-hem, moving on to the proper review of the chapter itself.
Ah, I am starting to see where the story is going with the conclusion of the first arc. Now it's no longer fun and games for Yuuto, since there's this moral obligation to kill or not to kill, it's getting down to the dark and gritty, which I thought Kamui demonstrated well (btw, her quote about kill a hundred was the same one that Deus used in FTTS, so I guess a possible parallel in both storylines?). I'm not so sure about the adversary that Yuuto is about to face, whether it's an inner one or a real enemy (never good with guesses, I prefer to be surprised), so I'll leave it to you to show me the path.

On a sidenote, I would prompt you to join NaNoWriMo once more. You could actually join as a rebel and continue BladeArc at a rate of 1667 words a day, giving you 50,000 words in a month. I really envy your writing speed tbh.

Finally, keep up the good work! ;)

My favorite chapter so far, if I have said that before then this is my new favorite! The moments between Ennis and Yuuto were so sweet and even the Reaper was being, rather kind in a way. Yuuto may just realize his feelings, and I can't wait for the next chapter. Great job!

*punches wall*

Dammit! DAMMIT! Just when I thought we have another bro character! Should've known! He has a girl's name, even though it is one and the same with the Rail Tracer! But still!

Yuuto's harem: Plus 1!

No wonder Yuuto was so hung up about him! He knew it wasn't a gay option! He knew it was another addition to his party of harem! HE KNEW! Pretty little sneak.

Getting pass that revelation.

The battle was cool. I'm kinda ticked off that Yuuto didn't do anything the moment Ennis made her big damn heroes, but if he did, it would upstage her 'Angel Strike', as I would like to call it.

Well, looking forward to finding out more about the addition of our harem.

Hi dad. Why are you eating a banana?

Priceless. lol

Harem warriors. lol

That Domination Mark is going to come back and haunt Yuuto at some point, when the darkness controls him and he goes... (let's not go into speculation and potential spoiler territory here shall we?)

And yes, I like the confident Yuuto in this chapter, there's been character growth since the start of the story, but I thought it showed the most here. He's still too nice for my liking (not your fault, I'm just naturally a bit of an ass)

And the festival episode was certainly a nice change of pace here. The story that the Reaper thought was kind of foreboding, is that one of the possibility that faces Yuuto if the darkness claims him? A doomed love? Hmm.

And what's with the banana motif again? XD

Good story but don't like it when you use brackets along with first person perspective. Brackets should never be used in stories anyway imho

Heeehhhh, sounds like things are really starting to move now, nya owo
I like Claire, nya, I hope he actually has a staying role and isn't kicked out in the end so that there's no Claire/Ennis conflict T-T /I like him more than Ennis to be blunt xD

... the ending line is making it sound like reconciliation between them is going to fail, though, and I don't think Ennis will go if it's between Claire and Ennis going, nya T-T
... it would be interesting if Ennis left and it ended up with Yuuto and Claire at the core, though, nya ovo
And then it's Yuuto/Claire as the main pairing instead bahahahaaha /yaoi fangirl /shot

Kyaaa yessss Lou-chaannnn Ennis doesn't actually have psychic powers but you must, nya, you muuust have read my mind and known exactly what I wanted to read, nya c'x
I love how Yuuto is getting cheeky with [the Reaper] bahaha xD
They're the real core elements of this story, nyah, I knoww itt and that would make me very happy ;v;

Also "why are you... eating a banana?"
guihruighurdhgiur xDDD

Uwaahhh, best ending everrrr, ehehehehe TvT /totally [Reaper]-obsessed
And pffffffft harem warriors wow xDD

Still, that was cool with the wraiths, nya, even if it was kind of a sudden ending to the battle ovo
And we're out of the Forbidden Lands, yayyy! I bet something totally awesome is coming up next ehe cx
