Yu-Gi-Oh!, Starting from the Ninth Prison Gate

Run! It's a trap. My starting point for writing this book was that I realized many decks had been nerfed to the point of being useless, so I wanted to write about whether nerfed decks could still win. That's why the ban list was something I never intended to remove from the beginning. I personally didn't think this was a big problem, but as more and more people gave me feedback and talked about the banned card list, I started to doubt myself and became increasingly anxious, unable to come up with a better solution. After all, if your deck is weak but you can still win, there must be a reason. So I was wondering if the restrictions were too harsh. But opening up the ban list completely negated my initial idea. People always compromise, so I thought I would try to unlock part of the ban list first. As you all saw, it wasn't a good idea, which made me even more anxious. The days of teaching and the nights of writing left me exhausted, and I became even less productive.

In Hedgehog Cat, we've seen plenty of systems that get fucked, and we've also seen systems that go against their hosts. This is the first time I've seen a system with a female protagonist who constantly refers to herself as "this young lady" and uses that term to refer to the main character. I don't usually comment on Red Stone, but this is the first time I've seen something so poisonous in the very first chapter.

The Trappet is weak without Extra Deck cards, and you're adding a double banlist? And you can't even use the original effect cards? Even playing HERO wouldn't be this unreliable.

Do writers of Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfiction all like this kind of left-brain-versus-right-brain struggle? I'm confused.

In the DM era, playing with pure low-level bugs on the first turn was somewhat manageable. But going second, I really can't think of how to win with just those few attack cards without being able to over-summon, and Ritual doesn't synergize well. I also can't think of many Fusion decks that can be broken through on the second turn. So, the only option is to draw cards manually, but constantly drawing cards would look strange. Is this the author's first time writing a book?

The main character's card-playing skills are already bizarre enough, and the lack of extra cards is understandable given the era, but it's also a bit too overpowered. He even uses the banned card list. He's betting everything on it.

Personal opinion The first deck was a lower-tier Insect/Troll/Morph deck, but the deck composition was too high, and the deck construction was problematic because it was basically just playing whatever you drew. The story was too long and the interactive actions were limited, which made it quite boring. The Trapbot system was already considered excellent during the DM era, capable of achieving a Hero Beat-like playstyle solely through lower-level units. However, the deck build in this book leans towards flooding the board with lower-level units, lacking pressure and relying solely on the opponent's banned cards. Aside from a low-quality Demon Palace, there isn't a single good red trap card. In long games, while it may appear to be a modern system for several players, the opponent actually has the advantage, making it very unwatchable.

Not all of your nine prison gates are in wheelchairs, are they? The difference in deck strength is too big, isn't it? Putting aside everything else, is Insect Girl's strength on the same level as Mermaid? In the red pit, she can't even reach Silver and Gold.

Which hell is this prison?

Your writing about modern mainstream things is inferior to those about the Golden Country, Silver City, and the traveler birds; they're neither supermodels nor do they bring smiles to the red pit, they don't need extras and they don't feel out of place.
