If I may, a while back, I told you that Hitomi was one of my favorite pages, I meant it genuinely and honestly. See, a lot people think you only care about power, the same mentality as Suggs and others of his kind (i.e. THEOMNIGOD.). I don't mind if you are interested in/crave power. I admitted on VSBW awhile back that if a verse is low tier and has no kind of hax or anything that captures me, I ignore it. Series like Fate, Dies Irae, stuff that isn't just physical strength/outright planet busting or whatever. I want well thought out powers y'know.

But in relation to creating a verse, I always believe one should flesh out the story, setting, and characters before thinking about power/hierarchical strength, etc. As a Buddhist (someone who believes this material world lacks any intrinsic existence and that it's physicality may be illusory) I tend to make very complex meta-powers but I keep all the Tier 1 stuff to a minimum.

Take Takashi Masada for example, his main series (Shinza Bansho) has three overpowered stories, but he has shown that he is capable of making lower tiered stuff (Senshinkan) even with it's incredible hax. I aim to have that same ability. I have a series of visual novels I'm developing (Rebelión being one of them) which per my tastes is very over-the-top. However, I write one shot doujins from time-to-time that are just basic stuff (any given tier 9-3).

I can see where you're coming from and why you have this mindset. I've been doing this since 2007. I was 14 back then. It's ironic that T0 is that same age and he has the exact same problem I did...small world. Anyway I was pretty upset when you made someone more powerful than Hitomi. Like Suggs, he had Ace of Spades and I thought "this guy osn't that bad" then be made Xeranthemum, I was like "whatever, cool" but then he made someone even more powerful...it's clear he doesn't care about any coherent storyline or structure, just an endless chain of overpowered entities. I'm afraid you're going down that same path. Like you might end up making someone stronger than Matthew if you already haven't. That's why I'm worried.

I want you and T0 to grow like I did, because my sister (Tsubaki) believes that no one should be punished simply for making over-the-top stuff, as long as their intention is pure (i.e. they aren't making it just for the sake of being OP, or to make the strongest verse, or out of spite).

Anyway. Enough rambling, I hope you can see my perspective compared to others who are hating just because it's strong.
