I 100% think she would go to slytherin based off of her personality.

mostly NVIDIA I think.

this will seem like heavy criticism so i will start with this statement first. I like the story so far. the idea of the boss being able to put stakes up for grim is cool. I love how you set everything up. but execution, sucked. the fight was kinda anticlimactic in my opinion, and you kinda just threw away the fight for flashbacks to memories. for example, you could have had grim still lose but have the boss backed into a corner as his henchmen fall asleep, when he uses the power of this mysterious sword to stab his henchmen to give him power and fight against grim. fight happens. traumatic kid tries to double team fight the boss but dies and grim ends up here. but the difference is, you added more detail to the fight and got creative. your jump to his loss nearly disregarded the whole sleeping gas and kid. side note: when making a villain you want the audience to hate, make sure the audience hates the villain, and not the story.

I find your opinion flawed, the proposed idea is to crime lords(and villians i guess). people who value their own image and loyalty. if they don't go through with the deal, they will have big targets on there own backs. also, they are not forced to participate, so saying it's unfair doesn't seem right in a scenario where you know your enemy and choose to back out.

yeah, names is a big issue I'm this translation

let's hope he is not the fastest man alive.

didn't it just Say a few sentences back that he has no friends?

I mean, he's not wrong.

I dont know why, but the author, and evidently the audience as well, forgot what the serum did. It was originally treatment for a rare genetic disease, not a magic health potion. you don't inject someone with a flu vaccine if they are bleeding out.

my theory is a time loop. past Arthur saved the wolf then went into the alternate timeline. this time line is the future where Kira has already grown and evolved. after returning from the timeline, Arthur will help Kira grow because of the connection, making him strong enough to help in the timeliness for past Arthur.

poor guy

but*

I really think he should have stayed in the forest longer, it was a challenge for the mc and a chance for growth both strength wise and emotionally. bur he struggled one day and was promptly thrown back into his old life. I did enjoy the fact that he reflected on it but it doesn't work if he was there one night.

"he's a good guy, trust me I did a vibe check"

I'm recounting what some else said but it connects really well to this story. "for magic systems, depth is better than width"(not the exact quote I dont think but you get it). the story introduced this really interesting rune concept and then added a "sensei" to help the character out of nowhere. I don't know how the story will progress but I would much rather see the depth of what can be achieved through creative use of runes than having it handed to the mc. have them struggle to figure out how the runes work and grow to use them in creative and new ways.

I dont get this comment at all. there are far worse examples of dumb mc's but this is one where the protagonist is struggling, not dumb.

this was intended to be commented near the end right before the transition.

proves to who? yourself?

this didn't age well...

that is going to backfire, the fundamentals that held up piltover are going to fall. researchers leave, and the city of progress becomes a war ground.
