Nah man, last I heard, the direction Aura Clash is going ain't my cup of tea. From what I have seen another user comment, the author plans on making the mc more of a big fish in a small pond, than a supreme, which to me just killed my spirit to continue staying up to date with it. The if itself is good, but I don't like the way it (allegedly) will end.
That's what i said, he can't use Qi, he may have it stored but he won't use it without a big kickback.
Aura clash won't be abt becoming a god, but being the strongest in his verse and making our clan great seems nice, and the +18 scenes are pretty nice
Yeah, AC is more if Wuxia than a Xianxia. Godhood and multiverses are more of Xianxia domain that is POMA while Wuxia is low-fantasy that is AC. In the end AC mc would probably be the top fish in their world, but if you compare it to POMA then yes AC world is endeed small.
I hope we can cripple him, that would be great, a injury no one can heal, break his soul or something like that. Killing him seems way too easy, maybe making him a slave with some kind of soul contract, forcing him to accept that. It would be amazing.
@Foulwarden new poma post plz
While it’s true that POMA has introduced gods and such, I don’t see where you are getting the idea that the protagonist of AC will be a big fish in a small pond just because they’ve only introduced his world and nothing beyond it. If we go with that logic, wouldn’t it be the other way around? After all, as I understand it, POMA ends when we reach Nascent Soul, nowhere near godhood or anything like that.
Sure, they might add an epilogue or something similar, but considering it would skip the entire journey of the MC up to Godhood, it wouldn’t be as satisfying.

There will be 3 books
Yeah 3 books to reach Nascent Soul not Godhood.

I'm pretty sure we will reach it in the final part of book 2. Maybe mid book 3, then we may kill all the gods or something.
Well, I don’t know how you think we’re going to skip like 9 stages to reach godhood in one book when in the first book we’re still in the first stage.

Nope it’s been known the NS will only be reached in the epilogue of book 3 unless he chooses to change it.
That is not what I meant. My understanding of what they meant when they had said we would be a big fish in a small pond was that we would a supreme in our region, but not in the world as a whole, i.e. there would be other powerhouses with the same strength or greater strength than our MC. I understand the difference between xianxia and wuxia, where one focuses on there being many realms (some of which for transcendents only), while the other is focused more on a singular realm. I was not expecting xianxia from AC because it is pretty evident with how the story is going and the power system that it would align more with wuxia (it may change, but that would be at the whims of the author).
That was what I had assumed was meant.
As for POMA, I would not know. I know that there will be 3 books, but this is the first that I hear that we would end at Nascent Realm, so if that is the case, then yes, we would still be a big fish in a small pond, but that pond would be bigger.
I just went to the thread and saw someone else's post that said "Yes we’re meant to reach Qi Sea by book 1 end, core formation maybe by the end of book 2 and optional nascent soul at book 3.". I assume this means that book 1, book 2, and book 3 will take place in the same world, and the end of book three is when we will be leaving the world (that would possibly be the time we would have to choose how we ascend). if this is where the book ends, unless someone chooses not to ascend (which would cut off their path of improvement), that would mean the book ends in an open note. We could die after we ascend, succeed in becoming a supreme (and possibly eternal), or remain a lackey, but we wouldn't know unless Niki explicitly states what we become in the epilogue, or chooses to write more books.
The MC POMA is in a perpetual status of a big fish in an infinite pond because no matter how strong he gets their will always be others stronger because of multiverses and Gods so I get why the author don't wanna continue after NS because the story would just keep repeating of being from the bottom and up unless the author uses time skips and just skip to when you reach Godhood.
The narrative of AC is like Wuxia and Shonen (It's fueled by cliches and doesn't take itself too seriously). You can fight a godling and win and even shout the most cliche sentence in cultivation media " YOU COURT DEATH!!!". AC MC will bullshit their way to being the strongest by the power of Harem.
That would be entirely dependent on the power system at play. Not all xianxia genres have the same cultivation realms nor power systems. Some xianxia for example have the concept of eternal being(s), which typically implies the pinnacle of strength in all realms. Sometimes the authors themselves assert a rule that there can only ever be one eternal being, either due to the conditions of becoming one requiring a commodity such that there can only ever be one, or the pioneer of such a realm altering the rules of the realm to make it impossible for another to be produced (as at that point, they should be strong enough to do so as an eternal being). Xianxia isn't a strict line, it depends on the creative liberties that the authors themselves choose to exercise.
