I don’t know what you mean by that since I’ve never played a route where I get along with him. But again, what’s your point with that?
Mei lured him with an earring of his mom and it's an incredibly obvious point. If you think it isn't unfair for him than nothing is either for Mc, Ai and Chao making this whole debate pointless

You say it’s unfair, but I don’t see how. He literally fell into the enemy’s trap, and they didn’t even kill him, despite him murdering multiple martial artists in public. Plus, he attacked Mei Mei—who, if you remember, is beloved in the sect. The MC got beaten so badly he was sent to the clinic just for insulting her in public, and LC outright tried to kill her. On top of that, he’s a Xiantian attacking his juniors within the sect. And you say the world is unfair to him? Whether you want to admit it or not, he has privileges that help him to survive even after doing all that.

Nowhere is it stated that "POMA's world is supposedly unfair for everyone" only that it is a "dark, grim, unfair world" which some being more privileged would be the whole point not equality in suffering.

And it only seemed to be that way because you likely only looked at the mc and the people you care about while disregarding others like LC who got sentenced to spend the next 100 years away from everyone he knows fighting just because he wanted to get one of the few reminders of his mom left
I know...it's just that it gets tiring as hell seeing the MC get screwed left and right

And LC is not a good example imo
Dude should have gotten killed for that...but well he's alive

Do you think Chao having to sacrifice his wife for a child that isn't even related to him unfair or not? after all he did choose just like LC choosed to get the earring knowing the something bad will happen to him. The same point applies

Mc didn't get 100 years but only a severe beating and his points taken away for killing 3 people. And the whole LC example is not about the killings.

I could also list the example of what happened to his mom and sister but that doesn't fell as neatly to the "Meanwhile...certain characters can pretty much do anything and they would get away with it scot free~" counterpoint

I swear if MC just stands around like an idiot instead of protecting Ai, I'm gonna be so pissed. How is it MC keeps getting punished for starting fights when others get away with it scot free?

Chao's situation is different because the misfortune didn't fall on him—it fell on his son. he had the choice to abandon him and could have reached S-rank, so it was his decision to make. He knew the consequences, yet despite that, he still treated his son terribly, blaming him for his wife’s death even after everything they did to save him. This is what truly makes him a bad father. He willingly brought this misfortune upon himself. If he was going to lose his wife anyway and had no intention of properly caring for his son, then what was the point of sacrificing his future for them?

LC's situation now. While it's true that what happened to his family was tragic, you're forgetting something important—this is the world of POMA we’re in. When that happened to LC, he was just an ordinary mortal, like his family. They weren't from a clan or anything special, they were just villagers, like those the MC can kill when following the YB route. The fact that LC was able to survive and progress despite everything shows that the world isn't as completely unfair to him as you're making it out to be.

The whole point with LC is that he killed several MA and attacked a genius alchemist who is beloved in the sect. He didn’t end up in that situation because the world was unfair to him, he put himself there. After all, LC gave those earrings to Mei at some point, or else she wouldn’t have them. I highly doubt she could have stolen such an important item from his spatial ring. But I haven’t followed that route, so if Mei Mei stole it, I’d appreciate it if you could correct me on that part.

Because they actually have a brain to be subtle and not go swinging
Disfiguring Ai's face was subtle? Its clear that everyone is against MC, maybe except for our masters and some LI. Even then most of them just want to use MC. It's actually kinda flattering but at one point it gets so tiring when you get ****ed over at every chance. Constant L's and a few dubious W's is all Wu heir's got lmao. But you're right tho, why can't MC be smart? Is it canon that MC is dumb af despite stats?

The Intelligence stat was removed from POMA a long time ago for a reason. Also, you should know that the MC is a complete idiot with everything that’s happened. A clear example is that the first thing he does after waking up from the coma is go to the Arena to show off his power without thinking about the consequences.

First of all, Chao's situation is different because the misfortune didn't fall directly on him—it fell on his son. he had the choice to abandon him and could have reached S-rank, so it was his decision to make. He knew the consequences, yet despite that, he still treated his son terribly, blaming him for his wife’s death even after everything they did to save him. This is what truly makes him a bad father.

You missed the entire point of my question. It isn't about him being a bad father or his future. It is purely about the tragedy of him having to choose to let his wife die so the child could live and the unfairness that it has to happen in the first place

That would be true if I argued that LC situation and life is the most unfair but I didn't. I used LC situation only as a repute to someone who said that the world is only unfair to Chao, Ai and Mc. No one else

LC never had the earring so it isn't possible for him to give it to Mei or for her to seal it. Mei somehow found it on her own

I think everyone here always forget that Mc is only 20 mentally and still 19 when you are describing happened. He is also someone too strong to need to do a lot of scheming

Eh after helping my friend with his cultivation IF, I understand where Niki is coming from with MC, it’s hard to balance a MC to not be too broken or turn into a Gary Sue. I will say a lot of early fans made it this way imo at least some of his mods from what I seen they like the struggle. Making MC too smart feels like it gets too convenient. I feel like MC by default is headstrong and does not think too much. MC will grow and learn from their mistakes this is just the beginning. Also remember we have somewhat more knowledge than the MC so we might think something is dumb because we know the truth where MC might not yet.

Not really we see it in novels all the time with OP Mcs still scheming, think this is where everyone gets it confused where mostly these type of MCs are always reincarnations with memories of past life. I will say let me scheme on Mei I’m petty for her trying to set me up I know it was her

Fang Yuan is prob the most popular cultivation mc people here knows so I will say it again Fang Yuan was 500 years at the start + not counting his life on earth where he was a scholar + he went back in time so he has some knowledge of how the future goes.

From the start of POMA to where it's at currently it only has been 1 year with mc going from 19 to 20 mentally, absolutely no knowledge of the future and no Isekai past life

I think Devil breakout play a crucial role in the fight with ruo like when mc was on verge of death it take over to save mc and beat ruo ***

Good mc doesn't have the devil and they will fight the same people as the second possession for evil mc judging by the sneakpeeks

While what you say about Fang Yuan is true (by the way, I don’t read many Xianxias and I’m not familiar with this character), when I said the MC is a complete idiot, I wasn’t comparing him to other MCs from different novels or anything like that. Also, you speak as if the MC has only lived one year in that world. No, he has lived 20 years there, he should at least have some common sense and even if he came from a decaying clan, it’s shown that he was trained. It’s shown how he fell into a trap as a young kid that led to his aunt’s death. From all those experiences, he should’ve learned something, but the MC just keeps doing things without thinking. That’s why I call him a complete idiot, not because he lacks knowledge of the future or anything like that.

I mean, an elder he’s never met sends him a letter to meet at an unknown place right after he showed his power in the arena, and he doesn’t even hesitate for a moment. He doesn’t need knowledge of the future to have even the slightest suspicion, but none of these things are ever shown. The MC just goes with the flow. I guess it’s on purpose to advance the events that need to be canonical, but it doesn’t change the fact that it makes the MC seem naive, even though he knows what kind of world he lives in.

Good mc doesn't have the devil and they will fight the same people as the second possession for evil mc judging by the sneakpeeks
Maybe it’s the goddess’s blessing that helps the saint MC win in the end.
