For some time now, I've been reading fanfiction from all kinds of fandoms, but recently, I've found myself obsessed with DanMachi fanfiction. I wasn't that big of a fan before—maybe I just couldn't see the beauty of the anime back when I first watched it as a teenager. (Though even then, I found characters like Ryuu, Riveria, Ais, and Asfi really interesting and attractive.)
Lately, I binge-watched the first four seasons and read at least a dozen fanfictions. Sadly, pretty much all of them were incomplete. And I noticed something that really stood out to me—there wasn't a single fanfic where all the girls I liked were present together and given equal importance. Usually, either one heroine got the spotlight while others were ignored, or Hestia was overly focused on, while the others felt like afterthoughts.
Don't get me wrong—I don't hate Hestia. I just don't like her that much. So in my story, I will do my absolute best to give each of the heroines equal love and attention. And if I ever decide to expand the harem with more characters in the future, I'll make sure they're not treated like collectibles but like people—with emotions, growth, and screen time.
I know this won't be easy. Even experienced and talented authors struggle with balancing large casts, but I'm committed to trying my best. This is my first time writing a story, so all I can promise is to give it my all.
If you've made it this far, thank you. Thank you for picking up this novel and giving it your time. I truly hope this story is worth your while. But I won't lie—I'm writing this more for myself than for anyone else. There might be aspects you won't agree with, and that's okay. I just hope you enjoy the journey regardless.
As for monetization, I promise this story will remain free to read. However, I'm only human—if I ever receive a contract (which I highly doubt will happen(PS: I came to know that I can't get a contract on a fanfiction work, so yeah, it will be free.) that offers more than $1,000, I might reconsider. But only if I'm allowed to make older paid chapters free after a certain period. If the contract doesn't allow that, I won't sign it. Simple as that.
Later down the line, I might create a Patreon or Buy Me a Coffee page. But for now, I don't believe my writing is good enough to ask anyone to pay for it. So again: you have my word—this will remain a free story.
Have a happy reading.
This fanfic is reuploaded because previously I chose Novel as the type instead of Fanfic.
