Which route?
The only routes I can think of that might not be fully implemented yet are when you fight Blood Hunter and fail, but Mei saves you—I think this one isn’t complete yet. The other would be Tigress’s route, and I believe there’s one where Xiwen captures you during the expedition (though I don’t remember that one very well).

I’m so confused, did I miss something?
I can't speak for the Xiwen captured route; I always assumed that it was just a punishment route that was short on purpose, but for the BH and tigress route:
1.) With BH there is a route for when you fail to kill BH and are instead saved by mei mei (what she was planning to happen if you read her POV, but she changes her plans when she realises that your growth was even greater than expected when you start to win)
2.) The tigress route where she heads out to kill a xiantian and skips the tourney. You can follow her but that skips the tourney for you too

So... Has anyone also tried to choose the +500 option when the chance arises to acquire/evolve perks? I tested it with AGI and CHR, just invest all the EXP and RP at once. The nice thing is that you can have stats at 12k even before the dream (consequently 17k after the dream), the downside is that +2k doesn't make up for the lack of perks.

Umm... As far as I know, the Legendary CON Blessing only guarantees success in CON stat checks. As for the CON stat, it says that for every 50, the damage is reduced by 1, but nothing about increasing the DR percentage directly (from what I could understand from the code, there is a calculation for this).

Here, this is the only mention I found in the code directly relating Blessing CON to DR, but it refers to its EPIC version:

(If anyone with more knowledge than me can help, I'd appreciate it)

Edit: Maybe people pointed you to the wrong blessing? Because there really exists a Legendary talent that grants 50% DR.

In theory, if it's working internally, it should be showing up in the UI too. But as he said, it could be a bug. The best way to make sure it works is to test and compare the damage with and without the Blessing.

My advice. Try choosing Blessing CON EPIC, just to test that it appears correctly in the UI. If it works, there's probably an error in the code, in which case it's the author's problem. If it doesn't work, play normally, but I suggest choosing another talent if you're aiming for a high DR.

i will make a safe before first fight with blessing and see damage and than load safe mod stats to 100 and see if there is the 1percent difference

I've also just tested it. If you choose the EPIC version, the MC actually gets 20% DR, but if you choose the LENDARY version, he gets nothing. Probably an author's error.

I assume he mistook the epic version of the talent for the legendary when he wrote the code, since these talents are all distinguished by numbers from 1 to 4 or 5 rather than names
Yes, in normal situations, 4 would really mean LEGENDARY, but in POMA, 1 doesn't mean COMMON, it means TRASH. Here: 0 (Nonexistent), 1 (TRASH), 2 (COMMON), 3 (RARE), 4 (EPIC) and 5 (LEGENDARY).

Saint Route is really good for some reason. It seems you can be really mature in Saint route than demon in route. As much as I enjoy all brute force it's kinda embarrassing when they get slap or save by demon breakout. So playing a tactician for me is more appropriate in this stage of power since brute force can't seem to help the MC very much because their not the most powerful yet. Once the MC is on Bohai level I'll probably change to demon route play style and go for all violent options.

That's because Saint route opponents aren't as difficult as DES full formation, even Liu Mogui admit he can't handle more than two DES member at once.

I'd argue the Demon route is currently better because it shows what MC will be capable of once their mastery of Dao improved while the Goddess blessing in Saint route is just borrowed power that locks you to be a saint if you want to keep it.

I think you're wrong about this. In the Saint route, you can have the blessing and also form your Devil, so for now, there’s no difference in that aspect.

Not to mention that when going out with Ai—which you would usually do in the Saint route—you can see how the MC copies and improves the ability of a Xiantian. So, in reality, neither of the two routes diverges much when it comes to Devil Break.

And Liu Mogui is a bad example when it comes to actual power. He isn’t that strong—his strength lies in weakening his opponents and leaving them with long-term injuries, which is why people prefer to avoid him. When he challenges others to duels in the arena, most would rather accept defeat than fight him. And despite all that, he's only ranked 17.
