Throne & DxD: Q&A

1. WynnRot (chapter 1. Apr 21, 2023) Q: Interesting crossovers. I wonder how you will use them. This is the first I have seen of a fanfic involving the story of The Sword King.

A: You'll see, it will be a while till they are mentioned again but they are integral to Kio's story in DxD.

2. ArguableReader (chapter 2. Jun 6, 2023) Q: So the concept is a Fate-series crossover, with Highschool DxD is it? Will the protagonist be just another Issei replacement in the long run?

A: It is more of it just being the Throne of Heroes, both heroes and villains take Kio under their wing to train him in their way. Kio will not be an Issei replacement, that is way too boring.

3. Phuc Chu (chapter 1. Aug 20, 2023) Q: Okay I gotta ask is this nasuverse Throne of Heroes or DxD Throne of heroes that you created? If it nasuverse then you have to somehow merge these two verse together which is a very bad idea because the nasuverse isn't compatible with many magical series.

A: This is my version of the ToH. Not sure how will we will integrate magecraft in DxD but for now Kio only knows runecraft (rune stones).

4. ArguableReader (chapter 3. Aug 21, 2023) Q: So not an Issei replacement then? So long as THAT is true and not false, I'mma take it with-a-grain-of-salt… Far too many Issei replacements, where the new protagonist takes his adventure, AND women, for themselves...that's the painful thing for most, technically all, Highschool DxD inserts stories, crossover or otherwise, that I've seen, before nor since. You be, you, but the moment your protagonist gets rias, as the one in charge, of the plausible, harem, then goodbye and good-luck, with whatever. (Too many Rias simp's...there I've said my truth...XP)

A: Yes, Kio will not be an Issei replacement. Why go for the girls in DxD, when you can have the women in ToH. All the main cast in DxD will be to Kio are good friends, practically a chosen family

5. ArguableReader (chapter 4. Dec 28, 2023) Explanation received! Now then, that whole dimension of peace, actually reminds me of that genre of gaming. They call it cozy-gaming, in which a player does what is essentially, a farm based simulator, not too different from that Animal Crossing stuff either...

Extra note: You/-/Tube, ahem, ya'know, anyway...the vid I feel would work with these two is, (A little place called home)...even a thumbnail picture for the vid is nice too.

Just trying to say that these two love birds here having that cozy lifestyle would need an OST,at some point, you know?

A: I am not sure what you are trying to say here, can you elaborate?

6. Skim Beeble (chapter 1. Feb 27) Suspension of disbelief was thrown out the window with a shark biting it in that devil encounter. The moment the guy tried something to harm Kio, Ophis would have simply destroyed the guy right there and then. Now if kio was alone and far enough away when that attack happens it would have made sense, heck the whole encounter just feels forced (here's the bad guy, in the face of things that can pulverize him in seconds, he somehow get's away). Now if you had a random devil(stray even) attack him when kio is out of sight, with ophis protecting him at the last second or Ryu doing so, that would provide a much more i guess natural segway into ophis over-reaching for his training and connecting him to the throne of heroes.

Point is try to make it more convincing.

Aside from that the grammar needs some work. But good job on your first fic, i hope you improve as a writer.

A: Thank you and I'll try to be better when I am writing. The reason I had it like this is because of Shalba's connection to the Kahos Brigade which will come in to play later and personally I despise him in the story, just wanted him to suffer before his demise.

7. Some1call4MR-E (chapter 9. Jun 18) Q: Well here we go, the start of "canon" in no uncertain terms really. If at any point that Rias dares to approach Kio, mostly in that, she tries to make him take her virginity, as she does with Issei in canon, then, I'mma a little upset!

There are DOZEN'S of ways, to cancel a marriage contract, even a magical one, than throwing away ones chastity, of all things, you know?

Rias be stupid right then and there.

Seeing from the previous chapter's and their commentary, I do hope that stance has not changed, where Kio does NOT get the Issei harem for himself, maybe?

Now in the most DIRECT push, into the future, will Raynare and her team be killed off like normal, or will they get to live thanks to Kio, more or less?

A: I will reiterate, Kio will not be an Issei replacement. Kio's role in the story is more of a mentor type. It is true that Rias is not as smart as she thinks, that's is why we will have them all go through a better development. We have plans for Raynare, you will see in ch. 4 and 5.
