Margrave
when i read about the one on one battles I was hoping they would be skipped if not important so im grateful they were skipped. As for evelyn i like her character and think you're doing a good job. The only thing I'm worried about is evelyn seems like the type who wants to rise on her own without help. so i can see her wanting to leave kaze on her own further down the line after they go to the cultivation realm, and that's not something i want. Tbh I wouldnt be a fan of any major seperation between his harem members
I think Evalyn is fine. I mean, I've seen where she's come from and how she got here. Pacing is a hard question for me because I feel like I'm an outlier with my opinion. which is I'm here for the ride, so as long as it's interesting, do your thing. but most people have certain expectations where I do not, so I don't know how to answer that question
