u/ZeonPM

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong can transform his hair into some objects, this could be the inspiration behind Zeon making dolls and letters of his hair. And even if Zeon isn't indirectly inspired by Journey to the West, A LOT of East Asian media references this novel, so even if Zeon Hair abilities was inspired by other media, like a cartoon Raiku watched as kid, this media could easily be inspired by this novel.

(Also, offtopic, but is the novel more clear about what is happening if you don't know a lot about Chinese culture? I feel like I'm understand half of what is happening on this series.)

It's not even a faith thing, "I want to be on the god's side" thing, it's a "I don't want to be burned for the eternity" or "I don't want a specific punishment based or my worst fears or errors" thing. We are teached that demons (or the devil, people forget that there are more than one) always are manipulators and liars. If one creature had unnatural appearance, supernatural abilities and it presented itself to me as a demon, I would think that they would be trying to manipulate me and lying on every stance, if they can generate water from nowhere, how I can know that all these enemies aren't illusions or that being unable to use some spells isn't just acting? Not only christian cultures, but some other cultures and a lot of fiction talks about supernatural beings who offer things (demon kids generally offer power and wealth by the little we saw of the first encounters) but take something much important at the point it's just not worth it, why I would trust the ones that specifically presents themselves as demons instead of aliens or something?

A character that I created for this universe was supposed to be brazilian, because would easier to work with what I know better, but this trust part is one of my biggest challenges. The only explanation I found until now is harm: Why would a being so powerful wanted to convice you, why would they let you lose an arm or eye? Although the actual characters on the series have no scars, so I wonder what convinced them that the demons weren't lying.

(There's also the depression explanation, being so on the pit that you do anything, but honestly I think that this don't fit any of the characters, either mine or the real ones)

I get that their bodies can handle that, but one the problems of child labour isn't the mental part? From what I remembered they acted exactly like their age, they really had the mind of a child.

Honestly when I think about the hints about the Demon World Worldbuilidng I think that the sequel could be easily about it's problems. People says stories need conflict, so the Demon Society is a conflict by itself, I think the new enemies are more for answering why the hell such a weird political system.

At first I thought that some people were using the biggest estimate just because it brings more attention, but everybody I see talking about this animal is using it, it is actually the more likely estimate?

They are based on things that cannot be prevented totally even by the best of the leaders, the only thing possible to do is deal with their effects. They are based on Aging & Weakening (Turtle), Diseases & Epidemics (Bird) and Earthquakes & Tsunamis (Fish). There's also others for Evil and Death, but in physical paper there's limited space and I am bad at predicting space.

The Turtle is not only locked to weakning spells, but aging is general, so that's why he don't looks fragile, he used his own spells to age himself to his peak and give him physical advantage on the battle, making him the only adult (atleast form the start) on the battle.

I think that giving The Fish control over all natural disasters would make his spell type range too wide, literally four of the all five classical elements that exists in most cultures, from Africa to India, would be in his control, since his is not supposed to be a frequent character or the main antagonist, would make no sense, earthquakes are strong enough to destroy cities. And if I made other characters specifically for all other natural disasters, I think that it would be repetitive since The Fish already do this job.

And while I made these characters to antagonize specifically a character that wants to have control over everything, I think they would also work for any character in the battle, since any king will have to face these problems.

If I take the lower eyelashes it feels like a panda without the black dots for reason, even with the original having no lower eyelashes.
