If it's only for book five I feel like that makes it worse lol. All your progress from 3 books is wasted. I guess anon could make the drawbacks of demonic cultivation more obvious in later books. I just hope he has a smoother off-ramp than "whoops, you lost all the corrupted chi that you built up and get nothing in return" like we currently do with Angelo.

You already have the writing on the wall man book 5 is about ascending and Demonic cannot Ascend always been the case.If it's only for book five I feel like that makes it worse lol.

Demonic only exists as a path for your to play because it exists in the World and bums do it so we as the player are free to do it
Book 5 might as well be a separate series anyways as it is god simulator while the first 4 books are the core series anyways.

But inside book there literally zero mention how shitty demonic cultivation. Even MC have no idea about it, which is big flaw for RP. I don't see any reason why morally ambiguous MC shouldn't try demonic cultivation. I honestly think Anon should add somebody who will explain it to MC and give a chance to change his/her mind untill become too lateIt's only for book 5 really and no it isn't even hidden if you do talk with the community and well you already know now while book 1 is still going on so that point doesn't apply.
I think the death scenes that will get added should do the job not being able to ascend alone should be enough of a deterrent it is all implied how the strongest of demonic ways(new yomi) think they are rebelling against the heavens even Taio calls them delusional for it.But inside book there literally zero mention how shitty demonic cultivation.

Even kaito talks about how demonic path is just doomed and how the hells want to consume you so sure we are just starting out i expect more in game talk about it but as people not in the universe we already know how it is.
So sure more talk about how bad it is might work tho for me what already is there tells enough also anon is already making it impossible for mc to cleanse if the corruption goes above 150 I think so yeah you will not be able to cleanse yourself anymore via Angelo.

As for white tiger chi nah it is unnatural and actually something native to our world not available in heavens so it wouldn't make a difference.
What I do think is white tiger itself might be some experiment of an Ascended who did it before our world had learned Cultivation as we already know the Ascended come from the entire cosmos so a good chance of it being that old of an experiment so people think of it as a pillar while it might not be one.
That said if the other 4 auspicious beasts exists then Maybe it is actually is a pillar of this world still it is described as unnatural.
Ascended have 5 styles they don't have sakura's style because that style isn't natural either.We will really have to wait and see how it all goes.
White Tiger Chi seems toxic enough, like how you feel you always want more. Seeing how Sakura ended up doesn't raise good flags but it is a question of if it can be submitted with enough knowledge or training with. Also, how it absolutely erased those Goro minions makes me think that it is not a good thing to have inside you.
I would be inclined to think that it is better to leave it alone and be with the little things that we have "naturally" absorbed.
Maybe we can control the chi later I want to see how it affects brass tiger will he basically become Jinchuriki for the white tiger or not and maybe he controls it for most of the series until a certain moment in book 4 where he gets overtaken and we have to fight full power white tiger or maybe it will also take over during the fight against brass tiger this book only.White Tiger Chi seems toxic enough, like how you feel you always want more.

Hello, I'd like to ask a few questions if you don't mind:Maybe we can control the chi later I want to see how it affects brass tiger will he basically become Jinchuriki for the white tiger or not and maybe he controls it for most of the series until a certain moment in book 4 where he gets overtaken and we have to fight full power white tiger or maybe it will also take over during the fight against brass tiger this book only.
Was the idea of Shakengar saving my ship something the author actually considered? And does he intend to put it into practice, or was this idea discarded?
It is supposed to save the ships even against the DP the option is bugged rn or haven't been added I haven't played since the last bug fix update so I can't tell you if it is there but it is supposed to save the ships.Hello, I'd like to ask a few questions if you don't mind:

It's also a terrible decision from from a role-playing game perspective. This is like if the only ending Renegade Shepard, Demon or Necromancer MC from Wrath of the Righteous, Closed Fist MC from Jade Empire, Heretic MC from Rogue Trader, and all other games with an evil option would have is only death.It does seems a little dumb from a IF writing perspective to make an umavoidable punishment for players who made a decision several books ago when none of this information outlined was available.
If Anon actually go through with this, then he would've committed two cardinal sins for a creator in my opinion. Daring to moralize to the reader/player, and being boring.
It's one thing if the MC is set as a goody-two-shoes from the start, like any other linear JRPGs, then condemning evil isn't really moralizing, just the message of the story, but if a game allows an evil path, you simply cannot treat that path as the 'inferior' path nor condemn the player to an unavoidable death.
If this is to be a story of the triumph of good over evil, then the first evil act of the MC should be swiftly punished, rather than let to rot and fester until the fifth installment of the series.
Even if the scene itself would be hilarious to read, and I know Anon have the skill to make it so, narrative-wise, there's nothing interesting about an unavoidable death. I have no qualms if death is one of the ending that awaits a Demonic Cultivator MC, it makes sense after all since demonic cultivation is looked upon with scorn in the setting, but it should not be the only ending available.
I fully agree that an 'evil' path should come with its own downsides, though. I LIVE for the consequences of my actions. Like POMA irreparably destroying your relationship with Ai, maybe take away having Eldra as your mentor as a possibility, but in exchange they should get something equal to that down the line.
If anything outside the heavenly order is 'corrupted', then lean into that. If ascending becomes impossible, then let them be the first to descend. If that's supposed to be impossible and not even the most ancient beings are capable of such a feat, then remember that main characters are supposed to be special.
I mean gang this is not that deep book 5 is about heavens and you can't ascend it is that simple lol. You Will get your descend you aren't the first there are many hells it is the only way to survive for pests lol so sure a mini book about hell you make but it will not be a Focus that is it.It's also a terrible decision from from a role-playing game perspective.

Book 5 solely exists for ascension content anyways might as well take it as a seperate series because you will leave everything behind.
Also goody two shoes argument is funny you can be evil and ascend you can't be demonic even if your only kills are let's say other demonic people.That said again evil can Ascend tho they have to control their activities in heavens that is for sure but yeah they can ascend.
Want to be evil just be the evil guy without being Demonic.
