Before I continue with this story, I want to get something off my chest real quick. I understand that I am not the... best author/writer when it comes to writing these stories, and I know that I make a lot of changes here and there, for example the Announcement chapters. The reason I removed them is because I deemed them unnecessary for the whole story, so for those who are angry at my decision, I sincerely apologize about my actions. I promise I will never do it again.
There have been others who think the Harem part is rapidly making them lose their interest in the story, stating that I should have no Harem and if I do have it, the maximum is 4 - 6, nothing more, with no Sternritters involved. They state that having too many women makes the story stale and boring. Now, I'll admit, I like, no, love Harem stories, doesn't matter which fic it is, along with vengeful and ridiculously powerful protagonists. I will be honest with you, the reason I like them is simply because the premise of the main protagonist (or antagonist, depending on if the fanfiction turns the former into the latter and vice versa), having multiple women has always been very interesting to me, especially since it cannot happen in any canon anime, manga, movie and/or series. Perfect examples being the Ichigo Awakens series by Teloch, White by Melkor's Mercy, The Tails of Naruto Uzumaki by SSJ3 Kyuubi Gohan and 12 Brides and a Strawberry by Whackybiscuit (I highly recommend you go read these stories). As much as I like them, I understand that I write this for my readers' enjoyment, so I'll think long and hard about that one.
And then there are the flamers. I believe that in my second rewrite of A Vengeful Protector, I mentioned that if you don't provide constructive criticism/feedback, you can go swim in the kiddie swimming pool. I have come to learn that in the reviews, there are three types of flamers; the ones who read just one chapter, and decide that the whole story is garbage, the ones who hide in the reviews as Guest, and the ones who decide to be patient, read the whole story, and then decide that the whole story is garbage. I don't have too much of a problem with the last group of flamers, simply because they took time out of their day to read the entire story before saying something offensive. The Guest flamers, I just ignore. All I will say is that it is pointless to entertain them. The first ones however, I definitely have a problem with. If you're going to read a story, and decide that in the very first chapter, the entire thing is awful, even though they have not read the entire thing, I have a question: Why the FUCK are you even reading this? Why the FUCK are you even here? Complain about the characters' personalities and plot and whatever AFTER you read the whole fic. It is people like you that make me lose the motivation to continue writing this fic. As I've said before, there are many, many stories out there, just like this one. The Blind Sage is one of them (I will not stress how many times I will say this: Go. Read. This. It. Is. Fucking. Incredible. I got the inspiration to write this story because of Renjii1313. I do wish that it was continued, but oh well.), you don't need to read this one.
To everyone reading this, I will say this one more time: When reading this fanfiction, provide constructive criticism/feedback. If not, you can go get hard-core fucked in the ass with a strap-on dildo.
