Brother (sister?), I have no idea. I mean, my friend told me that Nicky would rework all the fights after the coma, but I imagine certain fights would change too much if the MC was written as much stronger than the original.
Like in the fake mission where the MC finds assassins, if the MC just beat everyone easily, he'd never meet Caihong. Similarly, I imagine that if the MC who "easily" defeated the weakened BH was in the Rogue Hunt, he would also easily defeat those two Rogues, then defeat the four attacking Ruo and in the end only Prince Song would be a problem.
if niki is staying on course on this whole improving the mechanic and narrative of fights shtick then he really needs to update/revise the song edu fight. this fight in my opinion embodies everything wrong with poma.
in any other fight when the mc struggles i can accept at least some parts of it simply because we're the main opponents of the enemies in those fights so of course wu heir's enemies would do everything they can to win. in the assassination fight, wu heir is target so i'll accept a bit of narrative railroading. but in the song edu fight?
here we have ruo the target of the rouge, had himself weakened, his artifacts sealed and his tricks countered yet somehow he still managed to stand his ground in a what 1 v 6. then there's wu heir at peak strength with a fully formed dao seed, not weakened treated as nothing more but an afterthought and thus had only 2 rogue's send to face them. by all means the wu heir should have easily won the fight against both the rogue's and yet we didn't and can in fact get slammed by them. like what in the actual ****. it doesn't seem to ****ing matter how strong the wu heir is mechanically he'd still got his *** handled by some bumfuck discount cultivator from some bumfuck nowhere simply because the narrative needed them to be. and not only that during the fight if the wu heir's doesn't have that one specific requirement to get themself out of trouble then ruo can magnanimously halt his fight and help the wu heir. again what the actual ****.
the constant ruo glazing, the need to make wu heir weaker they actually are. the narrative railroading to make it so that yang gan's sacrifice would make sense. the mismatch between mechanics and narrative the whole fight, so on and so forth. it's infuriating and humiliating, this ****ing fight right here is in my opinion embodies everything wrong about poma
also it's brother not sister
