If you even read this after so long. I read the entire story and it's amazing. I don't know why you stopped. I just want you to at least finish this great story.

I just feel like you rushed into the relationship thing. Maybe you should have broken it up in several parts

Very, very sad to see the story end. The ending feels kind of rushed to me... but, I'm sure, as an author you finally get to a point where you know you're done telling the story.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking me on this wonderful journey.

Amazing story! It's been a while since I've read such a story that made me rush to the next chapter to see what will happen next. Thank you for writing such a well written story for Kirito/Silica. The pairing doesn't get nearly enough attention like the others. Even though, I know you haven't updated in years, I will continue to have hope you may surprise your readers and I with another chapter someday. However, if that doesn't happen, I hope you do well IRL and continue writing in general. Thank you for the story. Hope to see the next chapter or even an ending chapter (if you can't continue on the story) because I certainly can't wait to see what happens next.

i know it has been a few years since you have updated this story but i hope you will continue writing this story agin one day it so so good and it is one of a kind. thank you for the good story so far

Oi oi, the cooking skill is one of the more powerful in most MMOs that have it. People always look to blacksmiths and enchanters and such, but weapons and armor are permanent investments. It's easy enough to buy what you need or quest for better. Consumables, though, those are much harder to come by. No one is going to quest for a food buff, and since they wear off there's a constant demand. Weaponsmithing is pointless if you already have a great sword, but everyone loves having a guy that can turn out steak and chips whenever he wants.

Klein may be the best character in the series. Tactically apt, loyal, solid leadership credentials, solid fighter, reasonably intelligent, emotionally healthy, and I completely believe that he'd give Kirito no end of grief over that scene.

A dozen chapters later and this scene would have been heart-wrenching. This early, though? All I'm doing is wondering why Kirito, a paragon of icy stoicism, is cracking without warning
in front of a near-stranger.

Silica's inner monologue is a bit flat, but otherwise a decent start. Only real hiccup is trying to beg off criticism up front. If you don't want to grow as a writer, why does it bother you? If you do want to grow, why turn away a resource? If you don't care what others have to say, why are you even here? Yeah people can be jerks but those types just take the "don't like don't read" or similar as an invitation to troll. The only people that would listen are the ones most likely to be polite about it anyway.

Update will come one day

Well...you still visit the site as you have a story in your favorites that was published in 2018..no plans on continuing your stories?

...and she is back to cowering from him. Does she trust him or not?

She really needs to make up her mind..

You really are changing her a lot :/

So, Silica is doing the same thing that she slapped Kirito for...running off..
