The story is interesting but...It is getting harder and harder to read. The story won't make sense have I not change the tenses to present tense. Please read the following paragraph.Although she had (has) the patience to create a semblance of a relationship with Kennel, he might run out of patience quickly if she relied (relies) on him. After thinking about this, she realized (realizes) that it was (is) still impossible to predict all the work she still had (has) to do in Schirn. However, she knew (knows) she had (has) to gain a monopoly over skilled Adventurers.The ones in the bracket are more suitable than the original, no? The problem with the translator and the editor has is the past tense. You only use 'had' when an event is completed. Or rather, using mostly present tense makes the story easier to understand. If they put it in past tense when it is actually not, the readers will be confused.
