7+ years?
You migh as well just move to Japan, apply to be a mangaka and pitch this game/story to Shonen Jump
( not in that specific order ). Practically most successful mangas run for very long extended period of over 5 years, even decades. Not sure Shone does hentai though
, but even without the lewds, the story itself is already great. Shonen already owns Naruto so they should be fine with all the ninja bits in
Stray Incubus. The biggest problem is language barrier I think
.
On a more serious note, there are at most 2 episode left before
Stray Incubus first anniversary, for a total of 10 episodes/chapters for the first year. Taking the maximum development cycles of 2 months and maximum run of 3 years, theoritically there will be a total of 22 episode/chapters
( if all is well according to plan ). So, clearly there is a need for time skips so that the
Zycris and the gang becomes stronger off-screen, otherwise at current pace
Zycris can only reach 2 belts above Purple
. Well, actually it doesn't even matter what his belt color is, how much mastery he has over the hidden powers/abilities within him. I think stuffs like creating and maintaining multiple clones without fatigue, floating meditation, and magic focus training among other things, can be done off-screen. These capabiities that were shown by other higher level ninjas (
Stephanie,
Anabelle,
Hailey,
Venus ). Although players will miss out the relationship building and interactions during the training sessions, adding elaborated, full training scenes will further stretch and delay the main story IMO. But yeah, it's a catch 22, the training scenes will be great for some bonding time but at a cost.
Regarding
Torr and
Candy, yeah it does not make sense to make them as strong as
Zycris or even progress at the same rate. It is better that everyone grow at their own healthy pace IMO and
Zycris will just do it faster. It is fine for him because he will join other high ranking ninjas for more dangerous missions. It will not always be the same trio (
Zycris Torr Candy ) for every missions, hence IMO why
Torr and
Candy arc is very early and quite elaborated because there is possibility that they will be less prominent but not completely background characters in many future missions especially.
