The no kill thing, along with a lot of things in the story, is just something that seemed to naturally evolve from the character. Wol is the heavily defensive type, and he just naturally is the kind of person who doesn't want to hurt people or pokemon more than necessary. Plus, I am trying to keep the tone of the story from getting too far away from the Pokemon side of things. I want to give both franchises equal footing, while the setting is Final Fantasy inspired the characters are more Pokemon inspired. And it isn't a one note trait, the first major arch is pretty much an escalating trial of the difficulties of pacifism. Exploring the logic, benefits, and limits that come with wanting to save everyone, even your enemies.
Actually writing this made me remember a scene from FF8, where the child soldier mercenary MCs have to save a town of absolute pacifists from an evil empire that they couldn't reason out of burning the town down. The world needs both pacifists to work to make the world a more peaceful place and soldiers who can protect when peace fails.
As for the lesbians, I'm not even into yuri. It just felt like a natural joke to make considering they are two weird girls living alone together. It was more about showcasing that even though Wol is much more experienced with pokemon and combat than Jane she is better at reading people and social cues do to being a princess who has been trained with courtly affairs. Sort of a 'While you were at parties I studied the blade' situation.
And thank you for confirming the issues with the flashbacks. Your feedback confirms it wasn't a one off issue but a possibly major hurdle for new readers to work through. The intent was to be a reflection of Wol's own confusion about what was happening and why. Though thinking about it I realize it's a technique I actually use again in later chapters too...
