Q. How? Unless he removed the dragon part his body would still reflect the duality of his soul.

@Umbra

A: Short answer, he mastered the aspects of his soul and unified them.

Yeah it seems that you like mashing together what you think is awesome and min maxing those aspects just like I do. I know that feel bro. I just don't thing doing it with multiple things is good for a protagonist.

I'll have vampire Mordred, so I'm a minor offender in this case too.

I said earlier that I'd make this guy. But in the end, I guess I'll just stick to an OC. Sadly.

Q. Will you ever consider making any changes to how your verse and characters are? We're not asking for your verse to bend itself over to our will, but maybe making a few changes won't make you a sellout.

I said I did know that feel. I want to play a min/maxed Lancelot and Shirou hybrid with a reality marble called "Infinite Arms Forge". I think I know how to mash concept together for the sake of (personal) coolness

@Qwerty

A: I've said this a dozen times. I already have extensively done so in my prior edits to the work. In addition a few pages back Kuro openly suggested stuff and I responded to it.

in short ask questions and think and maybe suggest alternative ways of doing things.

It seems like unlike a lot of other writers, Lantz prefers when people suggest solutions rather than just point out flaws.

So if you have time to argue and complain, try suggesting ways to fix the problems that you see that isn't "scrap it and start over"; it might take awhile, but with some patience you just might get somewhere.

Arguments and insults on the other hand will never get you anywhere with Lantz, so why not try a different approach, you might be surprised by the result.

There are writers who like criticisms like "this is shit, start again"? I would have thought most writers would prefer some help in overcoming flaws in their work, I certainly do.

But, yeah, suggesting an alternative can be very helpful in at least some cases. Telling someone that a fundamental part of their story doesn't work won't get you anywhere if they don't have an alternative, because they either have to just roll with it or start from scratch, and for most people it is not worth starting from scratch just to fix a relatively minor error of canon.

Exactly guys, from the start I've always said. If you want to poke a hole in my sails then bring the cloth to fix it. Suggesting an alternative is constructive. Flaming is not.

In this case though the sail has been torn to ribbons too small to fix, and there is no other option than to make a new sail entirely.

OK. Instead of Avalon making him invincible all the time, its a powerful healing factor instead, with the option of activating it like his mom to protect AN AREA. That way, he still has Avalon, he's still tough, but now he can actually get hurt (allowing for more drama in fights and risks on his end), and he can use it to directly protect others, albeit briefly.
