A QUICK AND IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! (PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING)

Well it looks like I might not be able to complete this story by Frontiers release date as originally planned. Its coming November, to no ones surprise really, and as of today thats only 2 months! I can't wait to play it! Now the reason for this 'i cant update' stuff is because I have allot on my plate, as with the release of more leaks and that story trailer, I've been trying to cover them all on my own YouTube Channel (which some videos are getting decent traction on) trying to regain momentum for it, while at the same time writing this passion project… its a little too much for me.

So I have to let one of these things go for the time being. As much as I love posting this and listening to your comments, for now, its going on a temporary hiatus. And if what I heard about the story of Frontiers is true, about how the Chaos Emeralds origins will also be explored or hinted at, that might ruin a few things for this story. Not like I can't adapt to it though.

Hopefully you guys can understand where I'm coming from. As both a writer and Content Creator, things can get hectic sometimes. My Channel has also been growing from this, which I want to keep growing it. So when it slows down again, I'll come back to this story. Think of this as a break of sorts. Come sub to the channel if you want, link in my profile.

I wont leave you without something first, so here's some responses to reviews I have received. No vagueness, full transparency:

From pbarrows:
I know you have probably decided on how you are going to get sonic involved with the rating game, but I hope it's as issei's familiar rather that some form of special exception.
If Both Fafnir and Tiamat can serve as familiars then sonic can too and they can request payment for their service.
Also just a nice way to get him involved with the peerage in an official capacity without making him a devil.

Bakuganman: Your right, I HAVE decided how its going to happen. Fafnir and Tiamat are not appearing as of right now. Too early for them. There will be a special exception for Sonic, as Rias' brother is the one who authorized the Rating Game in the first place. Since he knew about Sonic from the beginning, well…

From Guest:
Poor Sonic. He has to live with seeing his new friend in the sack with his new rival.

Bakuganman: Weeeeeeell, depending on how you look at it…

From Guest:
Are you planning on ever using or mentioning hyper Sonic, and a possible fan made dark hyper Sonic? Also I found this fanfic yesterday, and I binged it nearly immediately, you did a great job

Bakuganman: No fan-made stuff. Hyper Sonic maybe, and I confirmed Dark Sonic a while back as you probably already saw. And you binged the whole fic in its current state? Impressive. Thanks for the compliment, I worked hard on this for a long time.

From Guest:
Looks like Tails knows what he's probably doing right now finding out about Sonic's whereabouts and it will happen sometime.

Bakuganman: Nothing could keep those two apart.

From Guest-Questioner:

I still don't know what you were looking to explore here because I don't see any exploration.

And Rias is being a slut again, huh?… "Big" surprise.

delete this trash and fuck off!

Lenny face generator, does not work most of the time, otherwise, end the response.

Next up chapter commentary.

The caveman choice huh rias? Just that desperate to besmirch your own family like that huh?

Officially, scarlet-hair, your little action would besmirch the gremory name,
thus you'd be rias gremory no more, and instead,
rias the stray, no name succubus, will be all that's left of you.

Baka-scarlet-hair, she should honestly be SOMEWHAT punished for doing that, hoh~boy...

See-ya next time.

From U. C. MR. Ventura:
If there is ANYTHING to be said, dark name's being a guest review,
can just be as easily DELETED, by the author themselves, at any time.

No matter what is put down as a "review"

So anyone spouting blasphemy, about anyone, can just be booted out,
or their just using the other reviewer's tag (identity) to HIDE themselves from
the cowardice, that their review can and will, just be removed.

There have been A-LOT of those Guest-Questioner review's popping up in some stories recently,
so I'm thinking troll's have gotten wind of using the cheap A$$ gimmick for their own ends.

A select handful of the review's were fairly decent, even when excessive,
yet the cowardly Troll's can use it to HIDE themselves from their embarrassment, huh?

And another thing, the fact that, Sonic, saw Rias naked not once, but twice, is disturbing.

What's next, an interspecies relationship?

Not only, has that, been done, but also, it's stupid. It's something, Sonic, would never do. I've been, nice this whole time, but your story, truly is, the bottom of the barrel.

Bakuganman: I'm not even gonna entertain you. All I'm gonna ask is: how dumb do I look? This has been going on for quite some time, and you have been going around to multiple fics doing this, showing you have a lack of understanding of what makes certain characters act the way they do. Trolling is the only other explanation, which I don't care about, but keep in mind: even Guest reviews have a back door to their posters. Keep trolling if you want, I'm not gonna do anything to stop you; but sooner or later, you'll end up trolling the wrong person and/or fanbase, and you'll either find yourself doxxed and someone tearing down the bridge you hide under, or get SWATTED because people think thats funny.

Yes it happens to FanFiction authors too. Sad world we live in.

So from this point onward, I will not be accepting anymore Guest reviews for Sonic DxD. I won't even look at them since I really don't even have to to remove them, just click the appropriate box. Out of sight, out of mind. To those Guests that always have something nice to say, i'm sorry, but your gonna have to make an account if you want me to listen to or acknowledge you. And for any trolls or whatnot; put on your big boy pants, log in, and if you have something to say, say it to my face.

With those responses out of the way, one last thing for you all. No, no chapter this time, but here are some bullet points of whats to come:

•Sonic and Issei met Riser Phenex for the first time.

•Sonic initially feels something familiar about Riser, but it is overshadowed by the commotion his presence generates.

•After standing up to Riser, both his and Rias' peerage agree to participate in a Rating Game. Grayfia also announces since Rias' force is half of Riser's, she can call on one ally courtesy of Sirzechs since he authorized the challenge (this was done on purpose to get Sonic in there. Like Rias, he too is interested in Sonic).

•The ORC will be going to the training grounds, mostly for Issei's sake, but some ORC members will learn a thing or two from Sonic himself.

•After training, the Rating Game occurs. Who will win? Will the ORC get the Chaos Emerald, or will Riser receive a prize of his own?

Thanks for supporting me, everyone. I'll see ya next update… whenever that may be. 👍
