An Apology and Thanks (Contains Potential Spoilers)

Yesterday, a reader commented that there was too much slice-of-life content and that it was too boring...

I gave it some careful thought, and it was true that my writing skills were limited. On top of that, I had padded the word count in places, making this stretch of everyday life so dull and tedious that it had almost become pure filler.

First, I want to apologize to everyone, especially the readers 'wiikkk' and 'Dao Dao Si Suo'. You have supported me with recommendation votes all this time, only for me to let you down. I'm very sorry!

I also want to thank the reader 'Shui Zhong Ge' for leaving a comment to bring this to my attention. Thank you very much!

So I plan to pick up the pace a little and cut down on this unnecessary filler. However, the plot still calls for some scenes developing the relationship between the protagonist, Uraraka Shige, and the transfer student, Terumi Genga.

Terumi Genga is actually a fairly important character in the story's setup. Terumi Genga will be one of the factors behind the protagonist not joining the 'heroes' and the juvenile prison plot in volume two. Terumi Genga also has a role in volumes four and five, inheriting the family organization and becoming its boss. (Yes, the kind of organization you're thinking of.)

After all, the protagonist is written as a selfish person. Only after growing close to the transfer student would the transfer student's serious injuries affect the protagonist's mood, making it reasonable for the protagonist to then kill someone in a rage (yes, that fugitive enemy) without the plot feeling too abrupt.

But please rest assured, and keep holding me accountable. I'll work hard to avoid filler from here on, so there's no need to worry that I'll make the slice-of-life sections too bloated and cumbersome. I'll try to reach the fugitive enemy storyline within three chapters, barring any surprises. If this kind of filler crops up again, please leave a review to wake me up. I'd be immensely grateful!
