Combat Healer Ch. 72
🕑 Added 2025-02-10 02:33:33 +0000 UTCFebruary 9, 2025
NOTE: This is a LONG chapter (10,000 words, double the length of my minimum), so I hope you guys enjoy it!
As I mentioned in the comments on the previous Ch 71, this is technically the beginning of Book 6, and so instead of doing a 'full recap' I am sort of spreading that information out over the course of a few chapters.
For example, what did Allister do with the chunk of black metal given to him by Sylvia that might be related to the Shackle Guardian? Well, he briefly mentions it in this chapter, rather than 'that event' being a part of its own chapter.
ALSO, I have some info at the end about where I might have otherwise 'split this chapter up' to make this one a bit shorter and instead have the last few thousand words be the beginning of the next chapter (it's just an FYI kind of thing about that type of decision I make for chapter endings).

FEEDBACK: Thoughts?
Please comment!
(~dramatic voice~: Guys/gals, I live for your comments! And hardly anyone has been commenting on the last few chapters! I need your feedback, even if it's just to say, 'I liked it.' And if your feedback is 'this is boring,' then let me know that too! Thanks! Anyway...)
1. What did you think about the scene involving Mel, Wren, and Hailey? I feel like there was a lot of information divulged that you could comment on.
2. What do you think about Krystal so far? (Like her? Dislike her? Thoughts about her behavior?)
3. How do you feel about how things are progressing so far with the Sera situation? (For example, thoughts on Wren's assessment, or the MC's thoughts, or even how that relates to stuff Garrick said, etc.)
CHAPTER LENGTH INFO: So, just to give you guys an idea of how I tend to split up chapters, a really good spot to divide this chapter 'naturally' would have been at the whole ‘Hopefully it would all work out. Hopefully,’ which was also 7100 words at that point. It would have been a full chapter.
Instead, I wrote an additional 2800 words and stopped it at him arriving where Sera is, which made this chapter basically 10k words.
Either spot would have been a bit of a cliffhanger, and if I had stopped at ‘hopefully’ (7k words), then that would have made the following 2800 words the first part of the next chapter, which would have resulted in the whole ‘seeing Sera’ part as not being a cliffhanger. So yeah, just a random FYI on how I do that.
The main reason why I continued this chapter an additional 2800 words is so that this chapter is mostly about Krystal, allowing the next chapter to be mostly about Sera herself.

I know I am a bit late to add feedback to this chapter but that's where I'm in the story right now so here you go. I love the elaborate story and complex arc you are depicting. Personally I am a fan of harem stories but I'm starting to struggle. The amount of faces to add to my mental library feels to grow exponentially. I'm sad to see that there are only one or two encounters per women within the 72 chapters I read so far. Personally it just isn't in my tastebuds that the MC is now going after a married woman no matter the circumstances because according to what we know she is happily married I do not mind mother daughter action but I was greatly irritated by the fact that the first time with Val was built up over so many chapters and then she got reduced to being the daughter of her mother that really rubbed me the wrong way. I did love the tension between Eliza and wren the emotional discord and still finding a way to continue is something that makes this story feel more real because with so many people involved intimately their ought to be a lot of tension and a lot of disagreements so I really enjoyed seeing with all the power dynamics that there could still be some emotional spiciness introduced and I love to see more of that don't get me wrong I don't want them to fight. In conclusion I really am hooked by your stories but your haram sizes are getting so big that I am struggerling to picture the girls I literally do have an exle list with the girls and their "specs" on my phone to get the mental picture when they are mentioned. And I'd love to see more emotional intimacy especially between the MC and the queen because with everything they've gone through they're now just kind of coexisting and I do not enjoy that. Anyways I'm looking forward to reading the next chapters. Please ignore my gramma English isn't my first language

Some really good feedback here. I'll keep this in mind, especially the Eliza thing.

I greatly appreciate the rich and complex story arcs you have developed, which offer immense potential for further exploration—particularly into the realms of action and adventure. While the sex scenes are skillfully written, they seem to be protracted and interrupt the narrative’s overall flow, shifting the focus away from the central story. Additionally, the expanding harem dynamic may challenge the ability to maintain the depth and distinctiveness of each character’s role. I have also noticed that the introduction of new characters is drawing attention away from Eliza. The deep bond forged through shared adversity—and her remarkable 100 years of devotion—was clearly established as a core element of the narrative. It would be wonderful to see this relationship, which initially appeared destined to stand apart, regain its prominence in Alister’s journey.

There will be soon! It takes upwards of 20+ hours to write just one chapter, and that's for a chapter that's only 5000 to 6500 words. Some chapters like this one can take over 30 hours to write just the one chapter! So I really appreciate your support, and I'm glad you're liking the story!

Astaer & Celestine would top my list, with Sylvia & Val being next. You have fleshed out elven culture some, but the girls themselves are largely unexplored. You are just now beginning to dive into minotaur culture with the focus on Sera, but obviously there are a lot of depths to plum with both Val and Sera.

Great chapter I wish there was more.

General thoughts: The MC needs to start using strategies and tactics with his forces. They have the bracer to use as an HQ and he is super on the back foot caught in a far larger game than he can clearly realize. He needs information, he needs to understand the past and the true nature of the elements at play and he needs to not waste time. He is in a situation where he knows he's in a weak position, he has very capable resources and they aren't being used or they aren't being looped in. He really needs a plan of attack otherwise he'll get nowhere and choices will be taken from him. He needs a training montage or something lol.

2. I really like Krystal with a K, she would be great to keep around as she's very....not necessarily sharp, but very cautious and unmoving in what she wants, and intelligent about the reality she lives in. I'd like her kept around, I also think that the MC should help her discover her class and use her with Alyssa as informational specialists.

1 and 3. 1. Kinda surprised at Wrens dialogue, it wasn't really embellished how much the mc felt for Sera until recently, and it seems pretty immoral of him to pursue a married women even though their relationship may have faded given that Garrick seemed like a pretty good guy and there doesn't seem to be enough of a reason to split. The MC just seems like he's getting led by his dick, which is fine for the most part, but although he's considering the effect it would have, he doesn't seem to truly care enough about the gravity of his actions and the true effects it'll have on the people he cares about and those that they care about.

1. That was all fine, it's interesting that Mel is essentially seeing what will happen to her.
Author Kaizer Wolf
I will say that Sera's life is a lot more complicated than it seems on the surface (a LOT more complicated), and that we will probably be covering more of that in the next chapter. I don't want to give away spoilers, but let's just say that Val has been shielded from a lot of crap with Sera's parents. Stuff that has a very profound impact on Sera and Garrick's relationship, despite them being 'happy' together.
Author Kaizer Wolf
Next chapter, I actually plan on having it be Astaer's POV, and she is with all the girls (Celestine, Remi, Blake, Erika, Marta, etc.)
Author Kaizer Wolf
Also, I'm personally a bit torn on what I will do with Krystal. For example, as you pointed out in your other comment, she could theoretically be a great 'young thing' to swing Garrick's way. Not saying I plan on doing that (the 'default' is that she may become a love interest for Allister), but it's a thought that has crossed my mind.
Author Kaizer Wolf
Which girls do you want to see fleshed out more in the story?
Christopher Miller
Personally I thought it was very hot that Mel and Hailey were already hooking up. Spending some time with Aester, Celestine and Remi would be hot to. The sisters fucking the Queen's sister would be hot as well.
Christopher Miller
I like the character of Krystal, she seems to be settling into the flirty, slutty, but less submissive slot. I am a little torn though because it's obvious she's going to be hanging around and there are so many other girls that have been around much longer and are still waiting to be focused on and fleshed out. That said another harem member focused on sex is not a bad thing.
Christopher Miller
As far as Sera and her relationship with Allie and Garrick, it seems like it parallels Kai, Rebecca and Mr. Watson. Sex is there between the married couple, but it seems more like the relationship is based more on affection, friendship and a shared life with the sex being far less important with no jealousy being there at all. It feels like Garrick could also have a lover on the side and there would be no drama as well.

I don't usually comment on chapters for anyone that I follow, but I do love this story and I think you are going at the right pace for the story. You have a lot going on and I like that because it helps to keep everything interesting. I know that you are writing two separate stories at the same time and have to bounce back and forth between them, but I happen to like them both and look forward to either one that you post.
