My Hero Academia: Izuku Reloaded

Hey everyone! waves enthusiastically while nearly knocking over coffee Wisteria here! I can barely contain my excitement to share some amazing news with you all. First off, thank you so much for the incredible support - we're consistently hitting those bonus chapter goals and it just fills my heart with joy. Speaking of which, yes, there's potentially another bonus chapter coming today if we reach 750 powerstones!

But that's not even the biggest news! bounces in chair My boyfriend has finally taken the plunge into writing after watching me obsess over this story. He's launched his own fanfic in the Solo Leveling universe called "Solo Leveling: Arcane Monarch" and I may be biased, but it's absolutely fantastic! You can find the first two chapters on his page - LycorisNovels. Your amazing support of my work actually inspired him to start writing, so please check it out and let him know what you think!

Now, onto some serious story business that I'd love your input on. We're approaching a major transition point as the Sports Festival arc wraps up and the Hero Killer arc looms on the horizon. There are two big decisions I'm wrestling with, and I'd love to hear your thoughts:

First - Izuku's hero name! This is huge, right? gestures excitedly, nearly knocking over coffee again We all know canon Izuku eventually became Deku, but our Izuku is... well, let's just say he'd probably have some choice words about that suggestion. His identity as a quirkless hero who succeeded through martial arts mastery needs to be reflected in his name somehow. I've been brainstorming possibilities late into the night (my poor sleep schedule...), but nothing feels quite right yet.

Second - the question of management. In the current media landscape, especially with Izuku's growing fame after the Sports Festival, having proper representation becomes crucial. The fic that originally inspired this story used Ai Hayasaka as his manager, which worked brilliantly in that context. But I'm wondering if we might want to explore other options that could tie more directly into the MHA world and create interesting plot connections down the line.

The thing is, this decision will impact so much more than just publicity management. It's about who helps shape Izuku's public image, who guides him through the media circus that's sure to follow his Sports Festival performance, and who potentially becomes another important voice in his development.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on both these questions! Drop your suggestions in the comments - what kind of hero name would suit our Izuku? Who do you think would make the most interesting manager for his budding career? Your input really helps shape these decisions, and I love seeing the creative ideas you all come up with!

Oh! And don't forget to check out "Solo Leveling: Arcane Monarch"! grins I may have already read the next few chapters in draft form, and trust me, you're in for a treat!

Now, speaking of treats, I should probably get back to writing that bonus chapter... glances meaningfully at powerstone counter

Back to work for me! Remember: Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday for regular updates, plus bonus chapters when we hit those powerstone goals! Thank you all for being the most amazing readers - your enthusiasm and support make all those late-night writing sessions worth it!

See you in the comments! Plus Ultra!
