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.
Speaking of Caihong crazy she’s just been forgotten huh? Surprised TW didn’t mention her lol she’s supposed to be special too guess not relevant anymore. My hate will increase tenfold if she’s squandered

I could be wrong, but 1 probably has little or no relation to Chaos Origin Physique, probably referring to the perfect body that TW created for the MC. I think the Physique probably only influences 2, which is why it's beyond the top tier, and maybe 4, but that's just my hypothesis. As for 3, this is literally what you decide when you choose the difficulty of the game.

Even in that mode ruo calls our body trash in pov

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

Yeah, I was surprised to see that Ruo says that even in story mode, since the first time I saw it was at Trash, then normal difficulty.

I wish Nicky would add some unique dialogue for trash difficulty. People should not respect our Wu heir at all at that difficulty, so they'll be extra surprised when we actually end up becoming strong by the end.

100% I couldn’t have said it better. Have to make Ruo look strong no matter what. Even when he does lose I wasn’t using this or that bs.

my problem with it is not that ruo looking strong per se (though there's some issues there). my problem with it is the constant narrative need to make wu heir weaker then ruo
My problem is both mostly Ruo if he was not glazed so much I probably would still hate, but probably not as much (lying). Idk why the narrative tries to make MC look weak anyways doesn’t make sense, publicly we should be thought of as stronger he’s living off nepotism and name sake.

That’s why I do not see the fight vs Ruo being finished with a clear winner. Because no matter what they try to say or glaze we’d still be 2-0 vs him like Niki can still try to push a narrative, but realistically would not make sense for people to hype up Ruo over Wu Heir after getting beat twice.

There's been a lot of talks about Niki poentially removing her as a ro since even though she is more popular than Tigress or Ai Niki doesn't know what to do with Caihong romance plot wise

If Niki removes her I feel like my cultivation will become permanently crippled. I am full of despair.

Caihong ain't much intresting and it looks like ai ain't coming back till end of game for who romaces her(atleast for now)
I hope Su de and Lady Butterfly replaces them

Caihong is very interesting tbh I can think of hundreds of ideas for her. Niki just only able to write Mei and Ai to an extent. Ai is 100% coming back never romanced her, but feels like her story is supposed to be parallel to TW with Wu Heir succeeding. Su De is alright for a fling. People would find LB interesting, but not me won’t do anything with the rogues. So I’ve been playing with 0 romance and it’s fine to me. There’s still Tigress (lmao) doing whatever she’s doing, she got left behind too.

Su de is way intresting than Ai and less problamatic than her
Maybe non official ro can be part of mc's harem if he will ever have one
I remember niki saying offical ro won't be part of it in Tumblr
Okay now I’m curious I didn’t romance Ai, but had a fling with Su de. What’s so interesting about her please tell me? I’m curious

Caihong can be interesting but i think she got introduced to the story too early. It would have been much better i think for her to appear in the sequel. Right now with the whole rogue v imperials plot, wu heir tw reincarnation issue, he and wu clan fued, and whatever niki has in plan for tigress and everything else that's happening there's simply not enough room for caihong to be developed

I actually agree, she’s clearly too strong rn to be around MC in the sect so he had a reason for her to leave. She has the whole last dragon in Poma storyline going for her, plus I believe she would be great for Ruo development. If she was introduced book 2 would’ve been perfect. I do hate when IFs introduce new ROs in the sequel tho.

You haven't meet her again?
She's from great noble clan , strong Martial artist and likes mc and doesn't create constant drama for mc. I never romance ai in my main route but whenever i just see her route to how things are i get headache with her route.

Now, ignoring the "spectacular revelation", I bring you some new information about the next update.

Still no confirmation on the arena fights, but Nicky has finished the changes to the fight against Liu Mogui and is now working on 1v12. Next, he said he's going to rework 3v3. Apparently Nicky even hinted that it might actually be a 1v3 with a win for MC, but no confirmation.
1v3 huh, then what i said might be true with Yuan Fang giving up if we dont help him and He Gang just watching like a moron instead of turning on us. Turning on their team might result in disqualification who knows.
