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)

I hope Iron Will resists this. This level of simping is too much for me.
lmao Eida lite. I thought we'd be like Boruto but thats too much to ask off of Wu Heir. Make up some bullshit like 'being TW's clone makes us resistant to her charms' or some **** lol.
Lmao, how dare you want a protagonist with a fully functional spine?! dont you like it when they get blushing totally entraced by strangers? just accept your fate bro, Nicky declared the humiliation rituals shall continue.

Bleh! i expected to see this type of stuff on low quality romance ifs, never in poma.

I've been waiting on something like that for a while. Alchemy being the only way to make use of Soul Treasures is super unfair; craft needs more love.
Facts, but only craft allows you to draw and sell mao stupid enraged face so It balances things out 🤣🤣

After stealing goro swords im not needing anything right now so im just waiting for a opportunity to forge some good equipment for kousuke, Jin, rin and the crew.

I love that part about painting their stupid faces and selling them. I love how much of a troll you could be in AC.

I've seen people shitting on the Aura Clash MC due to powerscaling brainrot but they're ten thousand times more respectable than Wu Heir the way they're written.

No inheritance or clone bullshit, just slowly climbing their way up winning fights against stronger people with grit, smarts and determination, uses all their resources smartly, and even when they lose they may get to turn that around to a win later. And ofc their skills are earned, not handed out or dependent on crackhead stones to function

Dude/dudette is a gigachad and a blast to play with, massive props to anon on that department

The thing is the clone/ reincarnation could work really well. Two of my favorite novels have that plot so it can work really well. I honestly was hype with the reveal mostly because I expected MC to be stronger at this point. One of the first things this dummy does once waking up from a coma is falling for a fake letter. Idk I think I mostly hate being refined to a sect setting wish we could explore the world more. Another thing the goals not mattering at all my main MC wanting just to be the strongest for complete freedom, does not matter. I know too much to code and all, but I hate to compare them anon does this + more. If you’re going to use the reincarnated god plot for a cultivation novel, make sure you are down to actually treat the MC as such.

You said everything that needed to be said. There's no point in creating an OP backstory if you refuse to create an OP MC.

The way the devil has been the last few updates should’ve been MC default state tbh, breaking the heaven’s restrictions, and fighting above weight even if we lose eventually. Like realistically PH should be beneath us.
