This chapter is going to be a little info dump to my decisions and why they happened.
Before i continue, i want to say that i'm thankful and surprised at the amount of readers i got. I'm pretty sure most of you are here because of the lack of Mahoraga ffs, but i thank you nevertheless.
This chapter is generally for the newer readers who want to know more before reading the story. I'm just leaving this as a chapter for a day or two and then i'll put it into the Auxiliary or Chapter 1. Its here now so that the old readers see this as well. (Old, this fic isn't even 2 weeks old.)
Now, there are many things people like to complain about, so i'll address them here.
The first 3 chapters first. The first chapter is just a medical assessment. Basically an info as to what the reader can expect. That was the idea. I don't think much needs to be said about it.
Then comes chapter 2 and 3.
Frankly, even i got second hand embarrassment when i reread it, but i'm gonna keep it.
The idea was to have a trademark, something i'd use in my other fanfics.
Because i want to write more, specifically about characters which aren't used that much in fanfiction.
So those chapters were meant to show a being, which spends it times killing people and reincarnating them. It might not be a perfect attempt, but i don't think it was that bad.
So yes, those chapters may be cringe or annoying, but you're reading fanfiction for god's sake. That's literally a reinvention of an already written story. Which is seen as cringe by others as well.
...
Now, about the dots.
Someone thought i do them for word count. Webnovel does not count dots as words. So no.
I did them for spacing. And in the first three chapters, i thought it would be good to have them in order to get gap in order to avoid a a block of writing.
That was the idea. It probably failed given the amount of comments i got about it so i'll shorten them a little this evening.
Then, the big topic.
Why did i nerf Mahoraga.
First aspect of nerfing him, would be the fact that he is a kid right now. 5 years old. Why? Because i'm trying to write a story, not a one-shot.
I could write a story about full strength Mahoraga who reincarnates and fucks everyone up, but i just don't want to.
There is another story like that if you need it by another author. I think it's called. MHA: I AM MAHORAGA. It's not my cup of tea and i haven't read all of it, but it's more focused on OP Mahoraha. So you might prefer it jf thsts what you like.
Second nerf? MC is both Blind and deaf.
Is it a nerf? No. It's not. I don't know if we watched the same show or read the same Manga, but Mahoraga does not have eyes or ears. So he is effectively blind and (probably) deaf. How does he get around? With CE sensory most likely. I don't consider it a Nerf.
Third nerf and the one which has people crashing out?
I wanted to balance out Mahoraga's adaptation. Right now (chapter 11), he can't use the wheel yet, but i want to make things a little bit fairer.
The nerf? "Mahoraga has to understand in order to adapt."
I think it's good, because it's pretty similar to canon. That doesn't mean he doesn't adapt at all if he does not understand. It just means that if he doesn't understand what he's hit with, and what the best way to adapt is, his adaptation will still happen, but just not as effectively.
If he does not understand Shigaraki's decay, then he might adapt to have regeneration, but he won't get immunity to the quirk.
So basically, the smarter he is, the better he adapts.
It's also an excuse to go to UA. Full strength Mahoraga has no reason to go to such a place. That way, the character remains strong, and can even reach the point of "true Mahoraga" later on. So he will improve.
Another reason for the Nerf? Because writing a one-sided fight is very boring. And full strength Mahoraga wipes the floor with everyone in the beginning.
"Oh, but in the end MHA heroes and villains are super strong"
Two things about that statement.
One. Full strength Mahoraga won't even let the show go on to that point. I'm not gonna force the plot to go a way it doesn't make sense. I'd rather change the character a little.
Two. Mahoraga/MC is going to become stronger as well throughout the series.
He needs to discover everything. That's all.
So this was it about the Nerfs.
Now, my mistakes while writing. There's a lot of them. I sometimes forget that you need eyes and ears for google and youtoube, so i wrote a small mistake with him looking something up online. Someone pointed it out for me, i corrected it.
I also had misconception about Mahoraga's adaptation. I thought there were things he couldn't adapt to. I was corrected. The mistake is either in chapter 6, 7, or 8 i think.
But it doesn't affect the story.
There are surely more, but i can't write them all here.
So this last part is to explain something about me. This entire path of writing fanfics, was written because i wanted to write fanfics about things which people rarely write about.
The reason you're probably here, is because there is a lack of Mahoraga stories. So, this story is to fix the gap.
My other fic? One piece x Overlord. There next to no other fanfics, only like 3 and they are all discontinued.
And i'm planning to keep going. Stories about characters which are rarely mentioned.
Or scenarios which don't consist of OP characters, but rather support characters such as healers or strategy. Or kingdom building.
For example Elden ring x one piece. Weak MC with incantantations. Becomes a support guy.
Or the best character in all of Demon slayer. HANTENGU (upper 4)
I'd also like a Naruto fic, but i have no ideas as of now.
So yeah, just so you see. I want to avoid doing a copy of what everyone else does.
Hope thic clears things up. There will still be a chapter today.
