       We can talk about all these things. But I think it's important
       to do the research you need.
       You can't just half-bake a cake just because you want it to be
       half cake, half something original. When it comes to Japanese
       inspired series with the usage of Japanese culture, you have to
       look into using Japanese.
       No naruto ninja comparison is going to change that. Yes you can
       use something original or redefine something to how you
       envision, that still doesn't mean you should half-ass the
       culture.
       Secondly, we can't do all the research for you. Do your due
       diligence. Another thing is to figure out what you want to do
       with the story and if what you want "fits" with the world you
       created.
       The problem with FNO was that you had an easy to worknwith
       concept that can grow on it's own. But because you we're so
       invested in the characters that make no sense and ultimately had
       nothing to do with the idea of MMO world or being trapped in a
       world, that story collapsed upon itself.
       Your story needs a foundation. Something that builds the story
       naturally. Overall, what you described about what inspired this
       manga (a specific era) and what you are writing about doesn't
       line up.
