2) No comments? Does this sound too uninteresting? This would probably be the only story I write for Season 4 that uses the common formula we use, and even so, it'll have a unique factor. You see, in previous stories where the gang has to fight the minions before the main villain, minions led by a main villain usually work together in a team. However, for this story, the elemental spirits won't be working with each other at all and will instead spread out to fulfill their own desires on their own.

4) Sure, this could be a story that we work on together, but if that would be the case, your characters will have very minor roles. In fact, they won't even be involved in the fighting.

5) I doubt HoEC even had a main plot. And I thought this story idea might fit as a season finale because of how interesting it can be when different characters go up against each other to see who is the strongest. You see, my original idea is for The Pharoah to host a battle tournament upon his appearance so that he can choose a successor to do his bidding, which will be the winner of that battle tournament. I guess I won't do that since you're not into it.

Also, I have two things I would like to be honest with you on: 1) Story Ideas. 2) Your characters in battle.

1) In conclusion, I feel that thinking of story ideas has become much harder than before. Back in Season 1, we could just write freely however we please, as there weren't many ideas implemented at that time. Anything written would've been considered original and interesting, even if it means adding randomness and fourth wall breaks.

However, as HoEC progresses, it just seems that whatever story idea I think of doesn't sound appealing anymore, especially since most of our characters have had development in many ways and old ideas feel out of place. Ever since Plant Heroes Reassemble, I had many troubles executing or even thinking of story ideas especially since there's many conflicts between what you want for your characters and what I plan to go for in those stories. Perhaps that's why Plant Heroes Reassemble probably became one of the least favorite stories ever written. That's the main reason why I started writing entire story plots and posting them here before actually executing those stories, which made stories I write after Plant Heroes Reassemble much better stories.

2) Recently, I felt that your characters are outclassing my characters in terms of power, in ways which doesn't sound right to me. I have a few examples that will explain my point.

Remember the Dark Shadow vs Black Planter battle? That battle felt like as if Dark Shadow had an easy victory against Black Planter, since Black Planter almost had no opportunity to even hurt Dark Shadow. I get the fact that Dark Shadow is supposed to be an intimidating and powerful character, but still. Black Planter is the strongest among the plant villains, so I thought it'll play out better if Dark Shadow actually felt pain from Black Planter's attacks.

Another example, the Ace vs Akasha battles. I'm talking about both battles that occured in The Return of the Warlord and Ace's Dojo. They felt like as if Ace already had the upper hand from the beginning. Sure, Ace is more powerful than Akasha, but he basically didn't give her a chance to even hurt him. Considering that both are shadow ninjas with their various powers, it would've made sense if Akasha hurt him a few times.

Also, the battle against Team Hybrids in Hybrid Mayhem. This is probably the only example I'll bring up about a Season 1 episode. Aside from the Ink Smash and Dark Trident battles, I felt that the other battles against the rest of Team Hybrids except Ink Splash were too quick and rushed. I know, having prolonged battles can feel as if the story is going nowhere, but they're hybrids. Hybrids are more powerful than regulars. The more powerful hybrids like Pincers, Crusade and Octo-Phantom were defeated too quickly in my opinion, when they were supposed to be the ones who put up bigger challenges.

And for Shadows of War, I didn't even have a chance for Sakura to attack Captain Dark Shell. In your recent edit, Captain Dark Shell easily disposes of someone (Sakura) who has once caused mass destruction in an entire city! If you don't know, I suggest that you go read Sakura the Light Ninja to learn more. I felt that it would have been pretty cool if we get to see an actual fight between one of the most powerful shadow ninjas and a powerful light ninja.

I just hope that your characters can eventually become more fair when it comes to duels or battles. Most of the time, it seems like my characters have no chance to strike back, leading to them being easily defeated by your characters. This also happened in my stories, especially when I plan for my characters to provide a challenge for your characters, which backfires a lot of times in the recent season. I don't mean that your characters are bad or overpowered in any way, it's just that I don't really feel comfortable with how easily your characters can defeat my characters in battles, who are actually supposed to be the ones providing the challenge. I'm sorry if I'm being too honest about this, but I hope I can get my points across.
