Pokemon: The Unbreakable Bond of Ash

It's annoying to keep adding Xiaomei; she's just a background character. Is the author a lolicon?

The author's portrayal of the female characters is poor. Although Xiao Zhi has already acknowledged that the female characters are his girlfriends, there's no explicit action. Even a slightly ambiguous description would have been better. For example, if the events of the night had passed and the female characters' physical condition had improved the next day, omitting the details of what happened in between, we could at least know that Xiao Zhi ate them.

The tournament started off incredibly long-winded. Even though they're already Kanto champions, they're still locked in fierce battles with others. Is this going to go on forever? They have to climb up from the lowest score bracket step by step. Is being a Kanto champion really that bad? Can't they just crush people ranked so low?

What is a bond? It's long-term companionship and deep friendship—that's what a bond is. You've caught so many Pokémon, aren't you just like the original Ash? You catch them, see them a few times, and then dump them in the backyard for Professor Oak to take care of. That's completely irresponsible. The biggest problem with this Ash-inspired novel is that it blindly catches so many Pokémon, just like Ash. You don't need that many at all.

The further I read, the more uncomfortable I felt. While she's supposed to be the female lead, I didn't really feel it. It's not about having sex, but at least treating everyone equally, right? The protagonist's attitude towards Serena is completely different from his attitude towards the other female leads.

If you're not going to accept her, then don't be a busybody. You're ruining a girl's life. If it's a single-female lead story, then make that clear.

Back in the day, when I was following Pokémon fanfiction, Aura's Paladin was far ahead in word count. Ash's Bond Pact and Perfect Start combined were only about the same as Aura's Paladin. I never imagined that now they've surpassed it in word count.

There's only one female lead, and a travel companion is just a travel companion. Why post pictures of the so-called female lead?

Could the author perhaps write some romantic subplot for Ash? It feels like the female lead hasn't appeared in ages.

May I ask when the author will resume writing?
