Midseason QnA
Alright, delayed due to illness/laziness, but here it is. The questions below are provided by my supporters and proofreaders. Some aimed questions at everyone or the harem. Obviously writing out answers for literally every character or haremette would take me two eternities and a half. Therefore, I will limit my answers to whoever has something interesting to say or, generally, a maximum of five. Exceptions when the answers come about easily.
I know that this will lead to some disappointing answers. That’s on me. For future QnAs, I will have to remember to set a limit on how many people a question can go out to.
Also, I’m not bothering to proofread this. Typos are part of the charm!
Anyway, let’s summon our guests for the say.
Funatic claps his hands and breaks the fourth wall. All of the characters of the story appear inside the room, fully disregarding the size. Several of them start cussing, but the switch in format does not reflect that for much longer.
Funatic: Alright, this will be more comfortable. Let’s start.

To: Everyone in the Harem
Question: If you could get the generally themed powers of Any character class in fantasy (such as DND or final fantasy classes] added to your arsenal what would you go for.
Aclysia: Alchemist for better cooking.
Eliana: I’d like it if I could go monk-mode and get over my bullshit panic attacks once and for all.
Momo: White Mage so I can actually heal these people. Undine needs some support.
Undine: Black Mage.
Sylph: Make me a Blue Mage! Pow, pow, monster spells, boom, yeah!
To: John
Question: what new class would you love to see?
John: Difficult to say. Fundamentally, I can progress in any direction I would like with what I have. I suppose a proper crafting Class wouldn’t hurt, but I don’t know when I could get to investing in it. If I had the choice, something that boosts the Guild Hall, I guess?
To: John
Question: What passed over perks do you really want to see again, give me a top 5
John: Top 5? Ordering them would take a bit so I will just give you 5 I recall. Umistakable (Arcweaver Perk 9 Chapter 914) would have been nice, since it would have made intimidating a lot easier. Miracle of Stat (Gamer Perk 10 Chapter 888) would have been quite powerful, no doubt, so I’d have liked that. World of Love (Lover Boy Perk 10 Chapter 778) would have given me and my harem a private world to retreat to. Not especially necessary, a private island will work just as well, but it would have been nice. Pulse Ultra! (Arcanist Perk 10 Chapter 913) would have been hilarious. Honourable mention to any Perk ever that made the Artificial Spirits breedable.
To: William Brighton
Question: What was going through your head when John threatened to forfeit before the second trial, and at the end of it.
William: A victory gifted in such a situation has no value. Lorelei perceived conflict and conflict had to be had. The Gamer had to experience the capacity of the Order.
To: Mark Jeffson
Question: Do you have anything to say to the soldiers who have taken you up as an idol, or thoughts about John''s Speech regarding you.
Mark: I’m incredibly honoured. It is odd beyond words to know what significance my death had.
To: Brandon
Question: What did you see during the trial, and what happened with you afterward.
Brandon: It’s less that I saw something specific and more that everything I did see appeared wrong and terrifying. It’s sort of like one may misinterpret a crumpled plastic bag in the corner of the vision for the family dog for a split second, but the entire time. Afterwards, I was given a bed to sleep in and given a hefty bonus to celebrate.
To: Every member of the Golden Rose who will answer
Question: Given that Gaia has given John a lot of favor...to the point of actually having sex with him, why is it that at times it seems like the golden rose feel they are only true inheritors of Gaia''s WIll
Moira: Understand that the Order has been serving the Lady’s wishes for hundreds of years. Albeit that the Gamer may bring some new ideas to the table, the fundament we stand upon is not so easily shaken.
Lorelei: The Lady blesses us with advise when she deems it necessary. We do not inherit her will, we live by her guidance and do our best to interpret it correctly.

By: Noodle Bowl
To: John and/or harem
Question: (META QUESTION, ignore if not really thematic/appropriate for the story i guess) What are you thoughts on the fact your entire existence is a fabricated story written by a German guy and everything you have ever thought real is actually just words on a webpage. Are you mad at the author for throwing so much shit at you or are you mostly happy with them for all the good times you have also had? If you had to say 1 thing to the author of the story what would it be?
John: Little sense in being mad about the nature of the world. I guess I do live in a simulation.

To: The Magus Couple
Question: which of your kids do you think will give you grandkids first?
Magoi: It definitely won’t be Stefanie and I don’t think Lee is in the mindset for it, so I think Magnus will finally get hitched.
Mabirl: I agree.

To: Sigmund.
Question: Why do you fight?
Sigmund: I fought to survive, then because I was the best at it... now... I don’t know anymore.

By: Chiyo Takeda
To: Lydia
Question: What moment do you wish you could re-live?
Lydia: Repeating the past is a fool’s errand. All moves forwards and efforts give shape to an uncertain future. What has been shall not burden my mind, only what I can achieve with what I have.

To: Armstrong
Question: Given where John, Fusion and Maryland has developed since, do you consider your sacrifice in the battle against Sigmund worth it?
Abraham: Who is Armstrong? Anyway, yes.

To: Eliana
Question: Are you still a happy little sub?
Eliana: Fucking miserable each time someone reminds that cringy ass shit was recorded. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FUUUUUUUUUUUCK MY THROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

By: DorkNight
To: Nathalia and John
Question: when you have a kid, do you know if it''ll come as a live birth or in an egg?
Nathalia: No clue. It’ll be what it’ll be.

To: mono
Question: do you still mother hen over gnome or have you left her to her lot in life (I spent like 5 minutes trying to remember the poor rocks name. I refused to just call her a cuddle rock. Don''t see enough of her for her name to stick in my goldfish memory anymore)
Momo: My name is MOMO, not MONO, and how dare you forget Gnome’s name? I’m the local bully police, which is direly needed with Siena running around.

By: Magnar of Canada
To: John and Harem
Question: Obviously there will be no better weapon then Rex Magnar but what is your favourite weapons used so far?
John: I like Tiemarath. Maids swinging big swords around – there’s something sexy about it. Plus its partly forged from the shards of Sigmund’s old swords and I like appropriating what I had undone.
Rave: Hottest weapon around is my ass, obviously.
Lydia: I preferred the rapier I had before Strimata orchestrated its obfuscating symphony into my life.
Beatrice: The Mandala Sphere is the best weapon. It is symmetrical in every direction.

To: John
You know Gaia put your g-spot in your ass. Why so against using it?
John: To start with, the existence of the g-spot isn’t proven. At BEST it is an area that is likely to be exceptionally sensitive in a large number of women. Going from that, there is no guarantee it is there in my ass either. The primary contributing factor to enjoying sex is being mentally comfortable with what is happening. Doing something I’m not comfortable with is, therefore, going to achieve nothing of benefit.

To: John
Why haven’t you done anything about the flesh cleansers yet? Given your opinions on slavery I thought they’d be pretty high up on the list
John: Between the Abyss Auction breaking down their primary trade mechanism and all the other things I have to do, chasing a biker gang through east Canada has not been a priority. If they are spotted staying close to the border for several days, I might try and do a quick stint.

To: Funatic
If John stopped supplying mana (the base mana cost for their existence, that is) to his elementals/ASs would they die or just go back to their home plane or would something else happen? In the case of the ASs would they just shut down to be revived again later or would they die or stop existing or something?
Funatic: Both of these have been discussed in the story, I am quite certain. The elementals will go back to their home plane and the Artificial Spirits will shut down. So you got it right, essentially.

To: Gaia
What is the most interesting thing you know of happening right now that we have not seen?
Funatic: As if I would let her answer that.
To: Gaia
Who is the most interesting person you have ever seen/who have you been most entertained by, not including the apex or the gamer.
Gaia: There is this dude that’s shifting in and out of various universes and somehow ends up interacting with Johns in an anachronical order. It’s really fun to follow that.

To Jane, Lydia, Nia, Eliana or Lee:
If you didn''t have your current magic, and instead were put in John''s position as a late bloomer with the gamer system, what skills would you choose to pursue?
Rave: I’d probably have gone for more of a fire or sound based set of magic. Dunno, just feels like it’d fit me better. Martial arts would still be the backbone of what I do.
Lydia: I would do as I am now.
Eliana: I’d learn some mental magic so I can mindwipe my own shitty brain into a fully obedient cocksleeve and happy housewife or some wholesome shit like that.
Lee: Honestly, I’d probably up my Libido a bunch and use Artificial Spirit to craft myself a perfect sex toy.
Nia: I would become a tamer.

To john:
Who is the scariest when angry (either playful or actual)
John: Scariest when playfully angry? Probably Nia because it takes a second to registrate that she’s playing. She’s gotten better at displaying herself, but she’s rarely every playfully anything. Actually, angry definitely goes to Undine. When she is raging, you feel that down to your soul.
And those were all the questions for this QnA! Hope you got satisfying answers, despite the limited scope I employed for many of them.
