On the subject of beauty, isn't Captivating Beauty a canonically useless talent? I mean, it's useful for the Ma Rin route and it's useful as a mechanic, because it doubles CHARM, but in terms of story, the only place where the MC is mentioned as "Wow, how handsome he is" is on the Stats Page itself, with the description "You possess an otherworldly beauty", in the rest of the game, at most the characters treat the MC as cute, a bit handsome, among other similar things. Most of the time, the other characters treat the MC as if he was "normal", even when characters like LC, Chao, Ruo and now Yue Fang have their looks emphasized.

Of course, I don't know what life is like for female MCs, so I can't comment on that.

Cmon don’t do Wu Heir like that, they’ve been told they look like TW lol.

In my opinion, Regeneration is the only really canonical talent in POMA and the only really well-written one, although it could be better. Of course, I know that Iron Will can also be considered canonical, but to be honest it's not well written, despite having huge potential, even greater than Regeneration, in a way.

However, by far the Talent with the greatest potential, and which would undoubtedly be the best if it were canonical, is Martial Sovereign. Perfect Human Body, Phoenix Heart, Overlord and Paragon are nice, but Martial Sovereign is almost on a par with Gojo's Six Eyes, my honest opinion.

Edit: As a fan, the talent I'd most like to see become canonical is Business God. I think it would make the story amusing and funny.

All talents are just mechanics, the maximum of interaction you get is a nod here and there on the beginning of poma or in the arena, useless stuff for the main story, It also mess up with other characters related to us, imagine making Tang wei and long chen hella monstrous with the ugly flaw lmao.
Nah... Don't think too much about it, I personally would consider the talent unnecessary even if it was well written in the book. Regeneration is my only constant in POMA.
Same, my previous build was regeneration + phoenix tatto + intense vitality, a shame it can't keep up with the recent fights.

As much as i like regeneration its really not that well writen (none of the talents are) just shows up more, i really wanted nicky to make relevant talents canon and earned throught the story, It would add so much more to Wu Heir as a MC but no all we have is a bland protagonist.

Totally unrelated stuff: apparently we're crafting a soul treasure next update of aura clash.

Thanks, above all, to the damned Combat Menu, although with Superior Constitution it could still be viable.

I know this has been discussed here countless times, but to this day, I can't help but think it's a huge waste. I mean, I know it would be more work for Nicky, but I'm confident that the result would be a better and more complete book/game, even if only the most relevant were canonical...

And to be honest, it's nowhere near the amount of work of the author of The Thousand Of Us, probably even the Temporal Power and Divine Arsenal routes alone are more complicated, Ivan WM really has my full respect just for having launched such a project. (Of course, my opinion is that there are too many powers for one game and some powers simply don't have the same potential as others, so in my opinion as a fan, Ivan WM should give up on some, but even so, he has my respect and admiration)
