Honestly, yeah, it's been chill. It's a bit weird cuz I was used to not getting any days off but now I do get a good amount of free time. Been messing with other stuff lately and finally got a chance to work on some stuff I've been meaning to get to Plus, just chilling, it's nice to have time to chill and not have to rush to write Thanks for asking

I do channel her a bit when writing Tear, it was unintentionally at first but when I went back to look at the first Tear Pov I kinda rolled with it

if you do have questions though, I can try to answer them as it goes

You should be able to, I tried my best to explain everything as best as I can. Also, the protagonist is also not familiar with the world, so he is also learning everything as he goes.

Yup, in the og fic I chickened out of the Rudra stuff. But this time Rimuru IS Rudra, he just doesn't have any memories of it until he gets more soul fragments

No, he did not get true dragon form. Like I had answered to the original comment, he can't analyze/obtain true dragon or dragonoid until he obtains a Manas. I reference it in a few of the later chaps cuz people kept asking and I kept answering but always forgetting to mention it. But for any of the op races he needs a Manas. You can think of them as being "too advanced/hard to decrypt" that only a manas could break into them and understand them. As for Orc Disaster and Elemental Lord, yes, he can turn into them.

I had answered about the stampede form and stardust. Though I had just simply said, "Don't wanna spoil so I won't get into it." but yes, I do know about the stampede form and about stardust and about how it works. Same with Anti-skill. "No spoilers." I was just saying it wasn't that useful either way for future stuff. But, don't wanna reveal anything about Yuuki's future, so not going into an in-depth explanation. Also, I know of the Ultimate Slime, but like I said, I have no plans for it. I am going a different route. For the end, I must have just misunderstood since you mentioned the Chimera form before and thought you meant all those for the Chimera to make him look cooler. That's why I had said, "yeah, but they don't really change the appearance much"

Hey, I am happy to say.... You are not the only one who ships Tear and Souei.

Also, separated this cuz it was already pretty long answer so for the last one. No, he is a Paradox Slime. An incomplete one at that. True Demon Lord, yeah, he already is one. Ancient DL is not a thing. Don't wanna spoil anything else, but no, not gonna become an Ultimate Slime. Yes, he does have Spiritual(soul) Attack Resistance, he acquired it during his awakening as a True Demon Lord. And with Asmodeus he practically has Nullification. Holy Magic? Yeah, next chap lmao. Plus I have already referenced he was going to work on getting it during his fake war with Luminous. Anti-skill from Yuuki? Spoiler, so won't answer. But, Anti-skill is kinda not that useful. It's pretty easy to bypass as long as you use multiple things at once (Magic + Skill, x + y, etc.) It's one of those skills that looks really strong, but really isn't. Also, while yes, most Highest evolutions are pretty cool, they also don't change much. A Divine Human looks the same as a regular Human, Hinata looks the same at the start and at the end of the Ln. A Divine Harpy looks the same as a regular Harpy, Frey looks the same. A Divine Oni looks the same as a regular Kijin, Shion/Beni/etc look the same. A True Giant looks just like any other person, just bigger (Dagruel is just a big person). A Dragonoid looks like any other human (Milim could pass off for a regular kid). A High Elf looks like any other Elf (Sylvia doesn't really look special). Etc, etc. Also, for his current appereance, adult male kijin
