I know almost nothing about ascending and the future content beyond Chapter 9 of Book 1, since I’m not a subscriber to Anon’s Patreon. But if it’s really as you described, then all I can do is cling with all my strength to the small hope that something will change in the decades it will take until we reach Book 4. It’s the only way for me to stay sane and not have my Dao Heart brutally shattered by the weight of hard, relentless reality.

That’s cause she has the Dragon Killer Foundation, you were cooked no matter what.Strong enough to knock JDF mc in one punch. Jack needs a literal meteor, fire earth element gate, break our cores, and a super Saiyan transformation to just barely knock us out in dragon trial. Lil bro got mogged, Nina > Jack
This is a joke, of course. The reason she can knockout JDF MC is because of this supreme superpower called Dao of Comedy. You’re plot armour means nothing if you getting hurt is funny.
Ah, so she’s not actually very powerful and that was just for comedy? I already thought that was the worst and most unnecessary scene in the game, but this makes it even worse. Setting aside my strong emotional reaction to humiliations and turning the protagonist into a clown for the sake of comedy — which is completely irrelevant to this topic — that scene raises a legitimate and, in my view, important question. Is it canonical? If so, how is it explained if Nina doesn’t have the power for that? You can’t just arbitrarily change the reality of the world for the sake of one scene or another, right? So either we’ll soon discover that she is in fact strong, or we’re looking at a problem that breaks the suspension of disbelief.
Canonically, Mina and Nina are born and raised Inner Kingdom…ers? Kingdomers? Is that even a ****ing word?
Anyways, they are born and raised in the inner kingdoms, where the AP limit is much higher and the air itself has more chi.
They should be 2k~4k?(Mina is low end, Nina is high end) Maybe even 5k like Kagura, I can’t really remember.
So yes, it makes sense she could knock you the **** out regardless. Additionally, she was in a state of pure RIGHTIOUS anger, unlike you who just finished 7 rounds with a Succubus.
So you’re defenses were disabled.
That’s me trying to justify it for you, but what I said literally was what happened, she was empowered by the power of comedy.
I don’t know why you’re clutching your pearls so tightly, lmao. Humiliation? Turned into a clown?? Come off it bro… You can’t be serious right now.
It was a moment of levity, you are aware Aura Clash isn’t 1000% action-adventure right?
And to answer your question, is it canonical? Yes, if you got with Mina, it is in fact VERY canonical.
Hell, if it makes you feel better, you can say she was buffed by the blessings of the Saints, after all, not only did you **** a Priestess, you did it inside the temple… AGAIN.
Actually, yes, I’m being serious. I know the game has a lighthearted atmosphere, but I don’t like it when the protagonist is objectified and, in a way, degraded just to create those kinds of moments. Maybe it’s because I like to play while imagining myself in the protagonist’s body and treat interactive fiction games as a kind of existential simulation, so I end up taking it a bit too seriously. But yes, the justification of a surprise attack with the protagonist unprepared and exhausted, along with the fact that she was furious, is a combination that makes the scene easier for me to swallow.
Something I've noticed over the past few days is that people REALLY take this too seriously lol
Honestly, this really feels like a case of self-inserting a little bit too much, imo.
This is why I don't even self-insert in those games...I'd rather see myself as the schizophrenic voice guiding the MC on their journey, rather than the character themselves. It keeps me from hating characters over some very minor things and not enjoying what they give to the story to the fullest (though, obviously, this isn't the case for characters who are quite clearly meant to be hated, like Tao).
I'm not judging btw, you do you y'all
What you say has merit, but I really enjoy feeling things intensely, you know? For me, the fun of interactive fiction is precisely taking everything personally — whether the good things or the bad. I’ve experienced moments I’ll never forget by following this approach, and I consider it the right way for me to engage with and enjoy it.Something I've noticed over the past few days is that people REALLY take this too seriously lol

It's totally fine to self-insert, you'll be fine. I get why it's cringe in a regular novel or a show, but this is an IF, I'd argue the better you can self-insert, the better the IF actually is, since the whole point is immersion.
You just have to deal with the internet crowd that will lambast anyone for self-inserting no matter the medium. Even now, most people still treat IF like nothing more than a novel with buttons. So by all means self-insert, just don't be too loud about it, or the people who only see it as a traditional book will try to peg you down.
At the end of the day, most people make an IF to tell their story first, rather than writing from the mindset of a player who wants a specific experience. So no matter how good the player expression seems, it only ever goes as far as what the author actually wants to tell.
