I get it – after all, I’m a fan of high stat checks too. To be honest, the problem for me is the timing. I mean, literally days before this happened, the MC was, both narratively and mechanically, struggling to keep up with values of 80 to 100 (Muchen, Twins, Ruo), and then this random bloke turns up (who’s literally one of twelve disciples and isn’t even one of the strongest) and forces the MC into stat checks of 100 to 120. Seriously, there’s literally no time for the MC to boost his stats that much between this fight and the previous ones (of course, there are the berserker pills, but if the MC needs them just to beat some random guy, there’s no point in being proud of it afterwards), and yet Nick went and threw them in – I mean, the Spell Power one’s reasonable enough, but the physical ones just look like random numbers thrown in to say, ‘Look, there are big stat checks just as you asked for’.
