I only think of Tiana as a leach. Now she got inside the whirlpool even before him, she will probably gain some shit talent there will allow her to keep up with the mc just so she could still be relevant. I think you should have just let her go like you planned to at first . The other development was also not to my taste. A lot of information he didn't have to reveal but he still told her everything like some idiot . I'll have to wait for sometime before coming back again.
Tiana or any long term romantic involvement this early into the story was always going to have issues with early characters not having high enough talent,should have been avoided and rather made the mc open to dual cultivation with others as an option, this sequence with him giving out so much info and not limiting it to his advantage is not making sense to be honest, her not being caught is fine as she is strong and smart enough not to be, an mc taking a loss is never a bad thing in a story once in a while even if it ends up being good for him,athan taking a loss and being put down will open the story and his development many paths rather than the cliche mc wins all to be honest, id rather we have a realistic situation where athan and tiana break up but ull obviously not do that so whatever.(one chapter a day though much lesser would be much better without cliff hangers every chapter just makes it irritating)
