Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

[Sov]

Lol there's no way you'll get used to that. No one had ever possessed such powerful art. It's something that should give sukuna type aura

No one alive not no one ever. The Yangs used to have the complete version before it got lost.

The transformation is incredibly overrated in original expectations. The original Yang had the complete version and she was only about about equal with every other Celestials including the Su one who didn't even have a transcendent (Tang one is an exception). Certainly not someone who was the Sukuna of her time

It's probably because the MC is a reincarnation of a god. Most readers read that word and think "ohh it must be a power fantasy since there's no way a reincarnation of a god would be that weak" and boom the MC doesn't live up to expectations. Their auntie would roll in there grave in disappointment. If I was the father I would drown myself in alcohol everyday, and if I was the uncle I would pretend they don't exist.

You're all going too far the mc isn't really weak and a lot of their fights are above their current level

What exactly do you mean when you say that most of his fights are above his current level? If you could give some examples, I would appreciate it, since as far as I understand, the only thing the MC supposedly lacks is experience. However, in the fights he has participated in, he has always been within his level range or has faced opponents in groups who, individually, would be weaker than him in a 1v1. So, what exactly are you referring to?

This is exactly what Is being referring I think. With less experience, mc can be overpowered, in groups mc can be overpowered.

Well, if that's what it's about, the only reason I can think of for people calling the MC weak is that we've never seen the MC being OP in any fight. Even with the Golden Seed, which is supposed to compensate for his lack of experience, he still struggles.

Another thing is that the power scale in Poma has never been clearly defined—or at least, that's how it feels to me. I used to think that 10k stats were what most PH geniuses had, but now I believe it's even higher, considering that even with Asura, you can't defeat a group of five people. Supposedly, it's the most powerful art in that world, and when combined with the Golden Seed, it should have been a battle he was meant to win, but we all saw how that turned out.

Long Chen, Bh, demon hunting squad, havoc sect peak houtians, and a couple more I probably forgot. All of these guys are older and more experienced than the mc, mc got like a few months of experience in the martial world because of the coma and some of them are in groups. The fact that the mc beat all of them except Long Chen is very impressive. You can complain about how they win and their condition after the win but a win is a win

 

[Gone_Dead]

I don't think stat numbers are relevant outside combat. It would be nice if it was but it would be too much to code i believe. The stages are ones which give a rough outline of character's strength. A character and the MC in the same stage can be however strong or however weak the author wants them to be. It's easier that way to write.

Impressive? In all the fights you've mentioned, the MC hasn't won a single one on his own. In the fight against LC, the MC didn’t even participate, if you remember—he just landed the final attack on a tired/mortally wounded opponent who was also extremely nerfed. Against BH, it was the same—he was poisoned, and Mei had to help the MC twice in that fight. And against the Demon Squad, the MC literally lost that fight. His demon possessing him doesn’t count as a victory if it’s literally someone else controlling his body.

Asura wasn't all that fr maybe it will be stronger in the future I was expecting a lot more from it with all the hype it got

He survived though, do you want the mc to be a god at the start of the game? The game would be boring as hell the fact is mc is fighting people older than them and sometime more powerful than them

Asura will probably improve a lot in the future, but the asura debut was really disappointing. I would have preferred if it was saved for Book 2 and given the transformation a more impressive introduction. But maybe it was done this way on purpose to give the asura a more natural progression and prevent the MC from being OP, since that would obviously be a problem—it would be hard to balance fights between Demon MC with Asura and Demon MC without Asura.

 

[Zeus]

After the demon execution squad fight the devil breakout stat increased to 9 so that's 9k stats for 3/5 qi with the partial transformation. I like the partial transfo in the stats screen more than the actual transformation, you can get 40/50k stats easy

 

[Waoman21]

I always come across this argument when discussing the MC's power. There's a difference between being an unbeatable god and the MC simply not being that great when literally everything he has was obtained with help. There isn't even a part in the game where you see the MC training if you don't choose a master—in a game that is literally about gaining power and no, the MC has never fought against a stronger opponent except for Ruo, who literally beat the mc and then let him win, or the wolf that took him out of combat quickly. Every other fight has always been against weaker opponents or ones that were nerfed for one reason or another. At the very least, I’d like you to give me an example where the opposite is true.

 

[Zeus]

Long Chen, blood hunter, execution squad? Yeah I agree about not gaining anything without help, but you have to spend qi and money wisely to become stronger and choose the right perks and stats to invest in you can call that training and gaining power. Maybe you are playing on storymode or some other easy difficulty.

I don't think Asura is always cracked like its hype to be. If I remember the MC defeated a half asura when they still didn't have qi. And now some martial artist are starting to gain qi. This batch of martial artist are going to completely surpass MG, Bohai, Demon Queen and Yitchen. Some like Mei's brother and Rou are to be god candidates already. Asura maybe a strong technique for Demon Queen and Yitchen's era, but against this new era it's very weak.

I guess you didn't read what I wrote about the three fights you mentioned, so I suppose there's no point in continuing this discussion.

Also, I play on mortal mode, and you don't need to do as much as you say. The gameplay has even become easier since you can buy those rings that increase your stats and the outfit that reduces the damage you take.

 

[Zeus]

Immortality is the limit for Ruo and I doubt He Gang can even reach that

 

[Amara]

The RO's in the book is secondary to me. Im more interested in the story and MC progression which is very rare in IF's. Very few IF's actually have a good story and to complement that, a good MC. Infinite series comes to mind first. Still, idk what Niki is planning to do with Caihong in terms of romance. She feels a lot like a kid. Tigress has a subplot going on so most prob it will be tied to her romance. Ai's romance is also tied to her subplot. Ruo i have no clue whats gonna happen there. Xiwen is also clear ig. Tbh i dont see Caihong and Ruo romance happening anytime soon unlike Ai or even Tigress which i can kind of see happening. Mei has her own thing going on and ***** is clearly using us. Male RO's getting the short stick unusually, thats a first in IF's.

Couldn't kill long, our lookalike, if you ignore the arrogance, bro is actually chill.
I decided to do two playthrough, one has a good guy and the other as a bad guy and in both play through, I refuse to be a puppet for that b**** (mei) especially after that her family did.
I long to fight He chang or whatever his name is and beat him to a bloody pulp! And ruin his family! Is that too much to ask for?

 

[Amara]

I mean getting jumped is the highest honor a villain can get tbh, you know most reasons I see people don’t play poma is
1. It only has 1 male Ro other one made gender selectable, which I understand I get annoyed when I see 3 male Ros 1 female Ro and a gender selectable.
2. It’s straight romance only which isn’t niki fault.
3. Idk why they call it a power fantasy it’s literally not a power fantasy??? They just see action and call it a power fantasy it actually gets me upset. There’s only a few true power fantasy COG games and this isn’t one.

I can't lie to y'all, evil MC has more aura than good MC, imagine being jumped, survive and everyone in the tournament sees you as a threat!!
Tho the evil that evil MC had to commit, damn... I low key see why we are hated... We did massacre an entire village....

Its' highly implied that Demon is MC's Alternate personality and a personnification of his demonic urges.
So Wu Devil is not a Kurama like demon but more smth like White Ichigo.
