Summary

Key Events and Plot Plans

• The author announces that Amon has been removed from the story.
• Amon was originally intended to connect the Harry Potter and Lord of Mysteries settings and play a major role in the protagonist’s future:
  • Help obtain the Demoness Pathway’s Uniqueness.
  • Trick and kill Cheek.
  • Oppose Medici, with whom he was hostile.
  • Help contain the Uniquenesses of two Pathways.
  • Assist the protagonist in becoming a Great Old One with the City of Calamity.
• The author had planned for Amon to create a special female avatar through an “avatar voting conference.” This avatar would be designed to capture Harley while Amon’s main body focused on Klein and the war between Evernight and the God of Combat.
• The avatar would use Harley’s past records, appear as a recently advanced demigod, and be programmed to genuinely love her so that she would be easier to deceive.
• After passing through Mr. Door’s door with Harley, the avatar would become independent and rebel against Amon’s main body.
• In the planned conclusion, Harley would help the avatar reverse-devour a Sequence 2-level version of Amon, matching the story’s timeline.

Character Developments

• Amon: Originally conceived as a major manipulator and cross-setting connector, but removed because readers found the female version and the presence of a second transmigrator off-putting. The author also acknowledges that Amon’s established image is strongly masculine to many Lord of Mysteries readers.
• Amon’s avatar: Intended to be distinct from the main body, capable of independent thought, rebellion, and genuine romantic attachment to Harley.
• Harley: Would have been manipulated by the female avatar but ultimately gained the upper hand, helping it defeat or devour another version of Amon.
• Klein: Amon’s attention was primarily focused on him during the relevant period, explaining why Amon needed a weaker specialized avatar.
• Dumbledore: Replaces Amon as the source of influence on the Sorting Hat in the revised chapters.

Character Interactions

• Amon’s planned conflicts included opposition to Cheek and Medici and cooperation with the protagonist.
• The female avatar would have developed a romantic relationship with Harley as part of Amon’s deception.
• Harley would eventually assist the avatar in rebelling against and devouring Amon’s Sequence 2 self.
• The author references Amon’s history of deceiving even his own avatars, using this as precedent for the planned storyline.
• The planned next two chapters centered on Amon, including scenes involving the female avatar teasing a young Witch, but these chapters must now be rewritten.

Significant Themes

• Reader expectations versus authorial experimentation: The author wanted to explore a gender-fluid version of Amon and blend two fictional universes, but chose to prioritize reader reception.
• Identity and autonomy: Amon’s avatars raise questions about whether copies can develop independent identities, emotions, and loyalty.
• Deception and manipulation: The planned plot heavily relied on Amon’s ability to deceive others, including his own avatars, Harley, and powerful supernatural entities.
• Adaptation and revision: The author revises earlier chapters and replaces Amon’s role with Dumbledore’s influence, demonstrating how the story is being reshaped in response to criticism.

Chapter Summary: “Harley’s Honorific Name”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After escaping the earlier confrontation with the help of the Magic Mirror Substitute, Harley decides to retaliate against Voldemort rather than let the grudge go unanswered.
• She realizes that the Mirror of Erised can likely provide access to the mirror world. Since Voldemort is expected to return to the mirror, Harley plans to hide behind it and ambush him.
• Harley successfully enters the mirror world without resistance, finding the Mirror of Erised far less dangerous than other Magic Mirrors.
• When Voldemort approaches the mirror, Harley stabs him in the chest with a dinner knife coated in soul-burning Black Flame.

• Harley uses her Sequence 3 honorific name to pray to herself, temporarily drawing upon the strength of her sealed Mythical Creature form. She forms a defensive cocoon of hair, frost, and Black Flame, surviving Voldemort’s explosion.

• Her successful defense reveals that she can invoke her own honorific name and borrow limited power from her Mythical Creature form.
