Authors Note (Patreon)

Hey There!

Good Evening from my side of the world beloved readers. It's your favourite (probably not), author here for our periodic Q&A session. Where I do most of the asking of questions and you guys help me with possible solutions to my problems.

Without wasting much time, I have Three Questions to ask.

Question 1. How is the story going for you so far?

The Internship arc is nearly completed so I wanted feedback on how you feel about it.

Question 2. I .... Honestly forgot what I wanted to ask. But it'll probably return to me as I keep writing this so let's move on.

Question 3. The Hosu/Stain arc is wrapping up, and I want to be transparent about where the story is heading because it's going to diverge significantly from canon.

I believe I have spent a long enough time fleshing out Yuta and his character motivations, personality and interactions with others. And now that we're 100+ chapters in (Primarily due to my low word count, I admit but still), it's time to give it a shove away from Canon.

Now the Question for you all:

This story is titled "My Mangekyo Sharingan Can't Save My Hero Academia" - and I've realized that to truly explore that premise, Yuta can't just be another U.A. student going through the canon arcs with slight modifications.

I mean, sure, I killed overhaul and ruined the Shie Hassaikai arc in advance, the MC saved Ingenium, and there are currently a few plot threads that show canon diversity, but it's not really that different yet.

The story needs to go in a direction where:

The MS actually matters (I've only used it once in 100+ chapters)

The conflict is more substantial than school exams

Yuta's position in hero society becomes more complicated than just another awkward teenager trying to juggle life.

For me personally, I never intended to write, MHA with some changes and another character that makes beating Tomura Shigaraki during the final war easier.

This means upcoming chapters will feature:

Significant time skip via plot device

Major status quo changes

Yuta's relationship with U.A. and the hero system evolving in unexpected ways

Resolution of the Eri subplot in a dramatic way

And a few more changes most of you might or might not expect.

For me personally, the upcoming arcs are boring, easy to predict and still follow the same structured framework MHA has.

I as the author, do not want to write that.

So I'm asking: Are you here for an MHA story that heavily diverges from canon, or do you prefer I keep following the station of canon more closely?

Because I'm planning to take this story in a direction that's much more "inspired by MHA" than "follows MHA with additions."

Let me know your thoughts.

Well, I never ended up remembering what question two was, but oh well.
