You're welcome, and thank you for actually responding to my negative review politely and not calling me names or anything.

I wanted to address some of your points: Thank you again for politely reviewing my review, and I hope that my review of your review of my review will be at lest somewhat helpful!
 * On the punctuation and spelling: I'm glad that you're going to get back to them later (although I would really like to be able to help you out with that, since I'm probably seeing more problems with the punctuation and spelling than you are, since you're the author and so probably aren't reading it the same way as I am). As to downvoting because of grammar or related issues, I generally don't downvote just because of these things, but they are a negative factor that I feel reflects on the general writing style of the page, and, as such, I view them as a negative factor that might contribute to a negative rating.
 * About the tone: Knowing that you didn't intend to give the story a lighthearted tone makes the darker tone of the rest of the story make more sense. I should mention, though, that what I found problematic about the darker tone was not so much the tone itself as that I was tricked into thinking that the tone would be different. As such, I would suggest that you change the tone of the first three chapters so that other users aren't tricked into thinking that the later parts of the story would have a different story than what it does.
 * About the details: I'm glad that you're going to explain them later. You might want to change their framing, though, so that it doesn't make the reader feel like they're supposed to know something that they don't.
 * About the scene with Kable: Like I said, I completely understand the scene with Kable. I didn't like it, but I understand why it has to be there.
 * About Chapter 15: I don't think that it's lighthearted because it's a fight scene, but more because the characters are given room to be themselves and interact with each other in a way that they usually aren't. To be more precise: In most of the story after Chapter 3, the supporting cast is either not present or is being forced to do various things to push along the story. In Chapter 15, though, the characters are able to just sort of do whatever they feel like, restoring the camaraderie between the characters that the darker part of the story mostly forces into non-existence.
