I feel like I say this multiple times, but I really don't think my writing is like... top tier. Personally think there are a lot of other writers who do better than I. If I had to rank myself, it'd be like...middle tier.
However, I feel like I am a case of right place right time, and followed that momentum and had a fic that somehow seemed to scratch all of y'all's itches and I am eternally grateful to all of my lovely readers.
Like, in comparison to my chap length or even the number of chapters, its actually so popular it's kind of mind boggling to me.
1.7m?! And 17k Collections?!
Excuse a me? Hello?!
Also, I enjoy reading every comment everyone of you guys write, whether it be weird, funny, or confused, and it makes me very happy, so keep em coming!
I will try to answer as many questions this time as possible so it might be longer then most chaps(unfortunately).
Additionally, there'll be short character profiles for notable characters and funfacts just for the occasion!
The format is below.

[ArkhamPrisoner425]
Q:
1. So How do you write? Like do You have a certain vision that you are following?
2. Or you write on the fly?
3. What is the average word count of the chapters?
4. How long does it take you to write?
A:
1. I have a habit of daydreaming throughout the day where I think of all sorts of scenarios, and when I find one that fits, I write using that as a basis. The only vision I've been having recently is Nejire summoning Isshun like Mahoraga and Isshun aura farming.
2. There are some specific events I want to write, but for the in-between scenes, I daydream them into existence.
3. I try to have my word count above 1000 words cause four digits seem clean enough, and since I mostly write on the spot, its hard for me to write long chaps.
4. Takes me around 1-3 hours to write a chapter cause I type with only my middle and pointer finger and I got too used to it to just switch!

[Ernestly]
Q:
1. Are you making sure to stay healthy? we appreciate your novel and we would love for it to continue. so please keep yourself fed and well exercised. make sure to drink water too.
God bless you bro.
A:
I'd say I'm pretty healthy. I don't know much about the exercising part...stopped cause the gym is too far now, but I'd say I'm well fed despite eating one meal a day.
I do try to keep myself healthy cause getting sick in college is a pain in the ass.
God bless you too!

[NotASideCharacter]
Q:
Question!, will be Isshun capable of reaching the equivalent of a level 5 or 6?
A:
A Level 5, definitely. But if you're asking about Level 6 in Toaru terms, (Absolute Ability), I can only say that there is a possibility.

[RatBmaaan]
Q:
1. Have you written other stories?
2. Also got any recommendations for other stories on WebNovel?
A:
1. Nah, this my first real fic I ever committed to.
2. I actually haven't read much on webnovel recently with the exception of the more popular ones rn you've prolly already read. Maybe... Shadow Slave: Error?
--<>--
[lewd_reader_123]
Q:
Can we get more nejire pov chapters?
A:
I can only say I'm planning on more Nejire POV when she enrolls into U.A.(...which is saying a lot now that I think about it)
--<>--
[Green_lazy1]
Q:
First of all, I want to clarify that I don't speak English, and I haven't seen the Toaru Majutsu Index series.
1. So, my question is: Technically, can Isshun teleport to another timeline with enough information and stamina?
2. Or with enough perception, can he have the ability to manipulate matter? 🧐
A:
1. Different timelines is a whole branch of pesudoscience I can't even begin to bullshit through cause im stupid asf, so no. I also dislike sudden multiverse fics if it wasn't specified in the synopsis, so no to that too.
2. Perhaps in the future it's possible...

[_NorthStar_]
Q:
Release Schedule or is this gonna be a "When ever I feel like it" Fic?
A:
Every Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 12:00 P.M. Beijing Time, and Saturdays and Sundays at the same time if Powerstone Goals are hit(This week is an exception, cause its my sibling's birthday).
--<>--
[Pratik_Baranwal]
Q:
When will the time-skip happen ?? Like, when will isshun go to UA??
A:
I haven't decided. There's multiple 'canon events' that I will put in before U.A. Mini time-skips will happen pretty frequently before U.A. tho. I heavily underestimated how much I wanted to write Pre-U.A.
--<>--
[Bigchungass10]
Q:
What are some powers or abilities Shun is gonna have in the future E.g Energy blast, healing etc.
A:
Can't say too much without spoiling, but a pseudo-science move I'm planning to add includes the Pauli Exclusion Principle if you're curious.
--<>--
[aceZ0]
Q:
Who do u think will win/who has more potential. Isshun or the mc of mha: gamma
A:
I find it funny how we're now powerscaling mha fanfic mcs. Don't particularly like comparing different fics, but from an objective pov, Ryo is definitely higher scaling in blast/widespread dmg like man is a amalgamation of nuclear bombs into one guy, like what?!
Isshun has the utility(maybe) tho, so who knows I feel like depending on whether Isshun could kill Ryo without caring about their surroundings, then maybe. Depends on who can pseudoscience better.

[DemonicDragon21]
Q:
Can he still cover over 2 kilometers if he extends his domain like he was doing before to stop criminals.
A:
Yep! No issues with close density normally!
--<>--
[Newfound]
Q:
How do you write the ch and character because I have tried to write a few fic but it came out bland , I even tried to use gpt and the story got even worse so I paused writing .
A:
...That's a pretty broad question to ask. I'm not a language teacher and I even got a C in my language course, so I can't say much about that. However, if you put in love and investment into a character you create and a world you enjoy, as long as you, the author enjoys it, write!
GPT isn't good for writing cause they have a skewed view, also I don't recommend depending on AI cause it lowkey cripples creativity. But the more you write the better you get, so... row row fight the power!
--<>--
[Poyopyo] & [Apotheosis24]
Q:
1. (Poyopyo) Since no one is man enough to ask the real question, I will. Who is your favorite girl in MHA?
2. (Apotheosis24) No one is asking the real questions. What your top 10 waifus in MHA? I want it in order. Uwabami better be on this list.
A:
...This is so hard of a question, cause Horikoshi is so good at drawing/making good girls in MHA, even if he barely develops them half the time (Nejire is best girl).
1. Hado Nejire
2. Hagakure Toru
3. Burnin
4. Midnight (MHA: Vigilantes warmed me up to her character so hard icl)
5. Stars and Stripes
6. Kodai Yui
7. Lady Nagant
8. Uwabami
9. Mt. Lady
10. Mandalay
Tho I love most of the girl cast in MHA regardless of this list, and was sad to see most of them got sidelined so hard, so I'll try not to make it happen in my own fic.

Q:
All For One can't find out who he is from this right?

[yereem]

[Kamideus]
Q:
Hi, when will you update your fate fic?
A:
I'm kind of in a rut on that fic cause most of it's original, so planning to update it when i have more time to think about the world building.

[StarSword1]
Q:
I have a question: is this your hobby and if it is, what is your job or are you studying. Sorry for the personal questions 😅.
A:
This is indeed a hobby and I am a professional college student! A clueless college student with no irl friends but a college student nonetheless! Cognitive Science Major.

[Rafael_kp]
Q:

Someone who shares my hobbies and is just as lazy as I am.

[Jhos_Villanueva]

[AuroraFlower30303]
Q:
Will this fanfic end soon?
A:
I certainly hope not!
--<>--
[Aion_06]
Q:
Will you introduce the Multiverse? With a spatial quirk like his he could theoretically achieve the feat of travelling to other anime worlds…
A:
Haha! No. If I didn't say anything regarding the multiverse, then it won't be a thing.
--<>--
[Samot_Sempai]
Q:
1. Huh.... just 1 FL right (no harem)
2. And if you have an idea of how many chapters this novel will have...
A:
1: Yes, no plans to do a harem.
2. I know most of the time when people do this stuff and promise chaps since it lowkey never happens, but at the rate this fic is going, prolly 200+.
--<>--
[bob685014]
Q:
When shall the harem petition pass?

Probably never.

[RokyesLt]

[KaiserXIII]
Q:
1. How far ahead have you planned the story?
2. Do you already know how you want this to end?
A:
1. Relatively far.
2. Somewhat.
--<>--
[Reinhard_Van_Astre]
Q:
1. What will his hero costume be like?
2. And when do you think his reaction time will be enough to avoid being hit by enemies with speeds similar to All Might's?
A:
1. Haven't decided, but the theme will be geometric shapes and iridescent colors.
2. Unless All Might can cross a distance of 2 kilometers in under 0.1 seconds, Isshun can't get hit.
--<>--
[Konrad_iguess]
Q:
Can he teleport Mirio while he is intangible?
A:
Who knows...? Maybe it'll be answered in the future?
--<>--
[Max75]
Q:
Will he be like the Goat in UA, to hide his broken abilities?
A:
Isshun only does the bare minimum to avoid trouble, so who knows?(for now)
--<>--
[Zomvenom]
Q:
When's he going to add his Quirk into his power and entirely remove the need to have a Quirk? Cause, as you keep showing, AFO is interested in his ability.
A:
Ima be so honest, I don't know what you're asking, but Teleportation isn't Isshun's Quirk. His Omniscient Domain/Ultracognition is his Quirk.
--<>--
[S4tus]
Q:
Would you adopt me?
A:
Hell yeah. Love cats. If you're asking about the cat from Solo Farming in the Tower ima also give that a yes.

Fun Facts about the Shunkan Family.
1. If you couldn't tell already, Isshun's name isn't creative. It's literally Shunkan (瞬間) and Isshun (一瞬). Shunkan means 'a Moment', and Isshun means 'an Instant'.
2. I originally planned his first name to be Setsuna (刹那) which meant 'a moment'. However, even if it used different Kanji, it overlapped with Tokage Setsuna (切奈) so I scrapped it. It was why Tokage Setsuna was in the early chaps as a kind of inside joke for myself even if I didn't do much with her yet.
3. Additionally, I could have just used Shun, but that sounded way to generic of a name. Additionally I also could have used Ido, for Shunkan Ido, but Ido didn't sound like a name.
4. Kako (過去) means 'the past' which is why she has Retrocognition, and Genzai (現在) means 'the present' which is why he has Hypercognition.
5. Additionally, another candidate for Isshun's name was Mirai, but it was already taken by Nighteye.
6. Also, Nighteye isn't related to the Shunkan family in anyway. How their Quirks work are fundamentally different anyways.
--<>--
Additional Fun Facts About Myself (If you're curious).
1. 100% of the plot and stuff I come up with are daydreamed into existence when I listen to music and walk to my lectures and back cause I'm so far from the lecture halls for some reason.
2. It sounds cringe of me to say this, but I have a separate playlist full of those 'aura farming' or edit songs just to daydream it better.
3. I enjoy slice of life a lot(my fav genre), but sometimes, the slice of life gets a little too slice of life to the point where I can't slice of life it much anymore. I read Wotakoi and to the most recent Tonikawa chaps in one sitting cause it was so peak, but Chinese webnovels where I'm reading someone's slow ass career from being poor to somewhat rich is too slow for me.
4. I actually don't have much of an opinion on harem as a genre. If it's good I'll have fun reading it like Mayonaka Heart Tune(peak). But if there's like no development on any character at all and they all seem to fall in love for seemingly no reason, I'd rather not. A 50/50 genre for me.
5. I'm naturally bad with computers and electronics. I like to think of myself as someone who's somewhat well informed, but I feel like in my efforts to do so it goes to shit. Recently I had trouble with my laptop for a while and discovered that I hadn't updated any drivers for the past 2 years. Another was when I realized 3 years after building my pc that I downloaded windows on my HDD instead of my SSD, and I was blaming the wrong thing the entire time.
6. I dislike reading overtly angsty/philosophical/deep works of media. I feel like back then I interacted with the media and I do remember myself enjoying them after I read them. But I feel like most of the time I'm too dumb to understand the deepness half the time. Some people might have a trauma boner for characters, but I am not one of them.
7. I get side tracked really easily. I could be researching quantum physics for Isshun's Quirk one second, and the next start watching a 30 minute video on M-Theory.
8. The earbuds I use for my computer are two year old airplane earbuds when I first came to college to study. They're breaking apart but they still play audio, so eh.
9. Also, I want to say that I don't use bots. I don't know myself why this fic is so popular.

That should...be everything.
Hope you enjoyed the special chap!
Your friday chap will be released tmr.
Thanks for all the amazing support!
