Remember Eris and Mylene are thousands of years old, but due to the way time and cultivation work in their plane of existence they are not considered older than in their 20s/early30s. And Aster is still like 14 or something but had a growth spurt due to his lineage having a quicker life stage development where the defenseless 'baby' stage ends quickly.

I think the author meant unleashed her sword intent in the previous paragraph and sword intent in this one, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Unless she made a sword with materials in the trial, but she is not a blacksmith so that is unlikely and would have needed some context given what we know of the trial.

No problem! Your life has been up and done the past year. I hope everything goes well!

His previous life's experiences and Alphees's help were also integral.

Haha. Eren's comments about keeping titan trophies being macabre, unsettling, and unnecesary is a bit hyporcritical when he goes and makes a whole tourism spectical out of his kills with the Grim Pillar Town. I could see Eren holding to the phrase 'Do as I say, not as I do'.

Per Nira Nightshade, the kingdom of Silvermoon split into Edinburgh and Layos (chapters 1067-1068) and the Anfang Alliance oversaw and mediated that civil war. Given the Anfang alliance only came into existence because of the Titan war (chapter1074), Shallot Lancelot who participated in the Titan war would predate Edinburgh as the Sivermoon civil war couldn't happen until after continent array went into effect. The question is whether Shallot was the one to establish house Lancelot or if the house is older than that. House Lancelot can atleast trace it's origin to the time period of the Titan invasion if Shallot is its founder.

Appreciation would be a better word.

Dude, are you responding to the right comment? First, your metaphor was too convoluted and didn't address the points I made. Additionally (in response to your unrelated metaphor), it's very much possible to have a duel without grudges or death, just like the first fight that occurred with Callista. This directly contradicts your metaphor. Also the reader's understanding of Eren's capabilities let's us know Galen won't win, but no one else in the story knows this, making their actions understandable as I had previously shown regarding your initial issue of calling Valeria a hypocrite being incorrect. Second, my first comment was a direct rebuttal to you calling the matriarchs hypocrites (specifically Valeria for considering intervening to save Galen) and I gave references to the chapters that directly showed your initial points were wrong. Third, and unrelated to my argument and the initial conversation, you mentioned Galen only wanting revenge. That's not even his first or second motivation to challenge Eren. Galen wants to impress Callista as he has been unsuccessful at wooing her and hopes this will show how he would be a strong partner who will protect her (chapter 1305 5 paragraphs from the end). Second, he is a zealot that thinks the use of necromancy and death mana in there most sacred grounds is sacrilegious and blasphemous to his deity (chapter 1305 about 5-6 paragraphs in and 7 paragraphs from the end). Third, an Amazonian losing in the heartland where they have immense buffs that should have made this a sweep, is an affront to Amazonian pride in their capabilities. Whereas revenge requires somone to have suffered a greivance and then desires to strike back at the person who caused the issue. Eren has not done anything to Galen personally and Callista showed no grievances with Eren following her duel, so to say he is motivated by revenge is just not true. Thus his main motivations are showing off to his crush, upholding the sanctity of the Great Mother, and regaining the honor of his people. Fourth, you have said Galen's death would have just led to being down one Galen and not have affected the arms deal. I disagree. Galen is considered a significant force in the land of Anfang as he is a solid core right below the matriarchs as he is on the cusp of B-rank/Matron Protector (chapter 1305 in the last 1/3 or so). Also his death in front of so many Amazonians in there sacred land by an outsider would have turned public opinion against Eren. As mentioned, there are other places for the Amazonians to get the weapons from established weapons manufacturers (end of chapter 1296 and beginning of 1297). If the public turned against Eren, the matriarchs would have just gone to a different weapons manufacturer, something harder to do in regards to potioneering as Eren has destroyed house Slughorn. Fifth, you mention Galen should have just asked for a true test of strength, but that is exactly what he did with the duel. So I don't understand your point there. It has been mentioned that duels in the sacred ground are a tradition among Amazonians and it is an effective way to show strength just like what happened with Callista. Also battles have been the way to show stregth between people since the beginning of the book with the academy arc.

It's not hypocritical at all. Valeria was the matriarch that put Eren on the same pedestal as Titan Slayers before the battle began (first half of chapter 1308). She didn't look down on Eren or think he would lose, but she doesn't want the competition to go too far as they are trying to establisha good relationship between Eren and the Amazonians. The pace that fight is going means that Galen will probably be killed, when this was just supposed to be a spar to see who was better. There is nothing wrong with her wanting to step in to prevent Galen from dying as she would have done the same thing if Eren were going to die because Galen lost control of himself. Furthermore, if you remember how the duel was initiated, Eren was specifically said to have accepted and provoked Galen before the matriarchs could stop the fight from happening (chapter 1307 about 6-8 paragraphs in).

No problem! Sometimes life happens, take care of what is most important.

The answer is yes...but you'll never get him to admit to it!

Where is Renita? ☹

I'm pretty sure it was hinted at in the early chapters that her past issues are tied to Eren's father as she was in a party with him and his mom I believe. Love triangle probably. I don't remember the veiled hints about her death, though they might be connected. I'm a bit surprised Eren's parents haven't really come up at all as I don't think they are dead.

Haha, I was imagining Despair climbing on Vic's back!

Hey author, I really like the novel, but I wanted to point out a weakness in one of your major choices. The twins absence makes them forgettable to the reader. It's like a long distance relationship. In order for it to work well, both parties need to communicate a lot and make time as much as possible. In this instance the reader and the twins have been seperated for so long with so little contact it becomes harder to care and stay invested in the relationship as they have been absent for over 430 chapters, only showing up in the mind space once very briefly. This is more shocking when you consider the twins became star maidens before Lilia or Aria. Speaking of the twins, they are very underdevolped despite being added to the family so early. I could not tell you a single thing about them other than they are sisters and they have the evolution star. I couldn't tell you their personalities or looks as they have interacted with Aster twice. I could tell you a lot about every other woman near Aster as you have developed each one very well! One of the other ways you develop the women really well is by having them interact with eachother, but the twins have not interacted with any of the girls except for Rya the two times Aster did. What I could tell you about the twins, is their star is the evolution star. The twins have no screen time whatsoever, but their star or it's powers gets mentioned about every other chapter. This communicates to the reader that we should care about the star and not about the twins. And how can we care about the twins when we hardly know or see them? Clearly you needed the evolution star for plot progression of all the characters, but why not tie it to someone present in the story. This brings to question why they are star maidens at all? Everyone that is a star maiden has a very powerful and strong relationship with Aster and the twins do not. How can they deserve to be star maidens if Eris and Mylene aren't, when those two actually have a relationship with Aster. If the reason is they aren't lovers, then what about Kana? Kana has one of the strongest relationships with Aster and they both accept they will be lovers in the future which should make her a star maiden, because the twins aren't Aster's lover yet, as the twins became star maidens without any physical relationship other than a kiss. Again, the twins became star maidens before Lilia or Aria. I think the easiest solution is to finally give them bodies, but if you are putting that off for some narrative purpose, then you should have them show up in the mind space more frequently so that the readers can (bare minimum) remember them and get to know them. Actually, looking back to be accurate in typing this, I saw one of the twins is named Alessia and I think she got mentioned during the date with Rya and Lilia one time. However, when I first read those chapters I did not recognize the name and thought it was a typo (since the name never comes up). Just to show how little impact they have and how forgotten they are, atleast for me. I couldn't even tell you their names before looking back for this post. I am really enjoying the story and think you are doing such a good job with all the other girls that the twins stand out for being nonexistent, despite their star being so important and them being added to the family so early.

That would be foolish, because then Limbo would appear and throw him in his prison. I think he is just trying to complete the other half of himself so he can ascend past the constraints of being an incarnation of evil. Too many limits are tied to being such an existence.

Hey author, I love the novel, but I wanted to point out a weakness in one of your major choices. Reen is one of my favorites, but her absence makes her forgettable to the reader. It's like a long distance relationship. In order for it to work well both parties need to communicate a lot and make time as much as possible. In this instance the reader and Reen have been seperated for so long with so little contact it becomes harder to care and stay invested in the relationship. We don't necessarily need to see her, but the author should continue to communicate her importance by mentioning or weaving her throughout the story whereas here she is just absent for hundreds of chapters without a mention. We hear Eren's inner dialogue all the time, but he rarely ruminates or thinks about Reen (from what we see), despite their initial break-up being so powerful and driving for Eren. We also have only gone to Reen's pov once I think. Just something I wanted to mention. Even just having Eren mention or think about her from time to time shows us he cares about her (whereas now it seems he cares more and more about his own powers and machinations and not at all about Reen). I mean look at how often he thinks about Eliza in comparison or how often others bring her up, she comes up all the time which communicates to the reader that Eren cares about her more, even if in a negative or driving sense. As per the end of this chapter, you've made it seem as if Eren has outgrown Reen, which would be a major disappointment for myself and I think wated potential.

True, but you're less likely to be able to prolong the pain as slip ups would mean death to the victim.
