DoodHMM
I guess you can just call me a guy who gained a sudden interest in the literacy world. To be honest half the time I don't know what I'm doing, so please don't expect perfection or anything close.

Built Different!
Ok, that was just low, a big L right there.
I can't tell if he is in the wrong. What exactly did he do to make everybody angry? Did he originally have a plan to sneak away from the group in order to go to this cave? Nope, he just wanted to have a bath and conveniently had a good time also. Did he even want to go to the cave? Can't be that, due to May's bringing up the idea and him even refusing to continue on at certain points, but May's reasurations of protection really pushed him forward. He didn't even actively provoke the aggressive Pokemon intentionally, so how is he using them as a tool? Is it because he expected Scarlet to save him if he was in danger? Isn't that just trust? Then, after a near-fatal encounter with May, everyone seems to blame him, as if he hadn't done anything to prevent it from happening in the first place. And it's not like they don't even know. Scarlet can read his mind, and he has just casually told everybody his side of the story. Unless I'm ill-informed or just assumed something wrong [and if so, I do apologize], I feel like he may be slightly stupid for not persisting against continuing onward. However, that doesn't change the fact that he only cares about his Pokemon and respects his own decisions and goals. He hardly treats them like tools.
Hulk smash?
This is actually kind of terrifying. I can slightly see how this would work in real life.
Firstly, let me start with the quality with which the story is written. It is surely nothing but brilliant. The way the character interacts with the world not only brings me back to the time I first got introduced to the whole system setting, but also adds a little spice I have been missing in some recent fanfics. One of my loves, and also a passionate hate, is the type of realism the protagonists hold. Normally, when a character is faced with the fact that they have just been isekai into a fictional world, most wouldn't even dare challenge the thought that their existence could be similar to the character that they have read about, that they are nearly nothing but words on a page or pictures in a book. However, the protagonist repeatedly challenges the thought from the start, and it is clear that the question itself causes serious harm to the protagonist's mental health. I adore this play about the protagonist trying to find their meaning in the reality with which they have been entrusted. However [and I don't know if this may change in the future], the protagnist never finds a peaceful answer to this question. Instead, they view anything that is or can be seen as abonoral as simply not real. The hold off on stat points due to the growth of strength simply not being realistic is a great example. Although I really love how real the protagnist feels, I feel like due to this realism, the protagnist truly has limited themselves to the types of outcomes that can be suspected. I once read a fanfic with similar premises, and the protagonist eventually just became insane and killed all sorts of people just because "they weren't real, and I am" kind of thing. However, well done on creating such a thought-provoking story. I will definitely read on to see how it progresses.
Man, I really feel sorry for this guy.
Officially, I've decided that I would take a break in order to make many more chapters, in order to keep a regular publish schedule. It has just been really unfortunate that it has not only taken much longer than I thought it would but I'm constantly filled with a bunch of different ideas for other stories, which causes me to take even longer.
omg, this actually killed me. I am literally dead.
nice
On a normal weekend, I would publish a chapter every Saturday around 1 o'clock. However, as I said in my author's note, I have been really busy with both of the holidays. So the only way I could properly manage my time was by having a 2-week hiatus. Although after 2 weeks, I will be doing a double post due to the missed updates.
Junko is that you?
It all comes full circle.
Future Diary?

This sounds like a pretty cool story.
The greater summoning scene was definitely greatly inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's original character, Cthulu. When it came to some of the lines in the chant itself, I just had to slightly reference them due to some of their connections with tentacles. I can't say if there will be any connection between the H.P Lovecraft mythology and this story plot-wise, but I will say that if there is any connection between them, I will try my best in order to make them as accurate as possible.
When it comes to the direct timeline of the story, it would be mentioned later on, but in order to make the story far easier to understand. It takes place a year before Bell is born, meaning the protagonist will be 15 when the plot originally begins. Also, with Argana and Bache levels, I had it written that they would be around level six by this time. However, I could be wrong about this, so in that case, it would be best to try and distract yourself from that fact. Finally, when it comes to the topic of the leveling and power system, I can assure you it will be based on the one shown in the Danmachi series. By the way, the minotaur is also destroyed.
