Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

[O1O]

On the subject of commands... I'll leave here the commands I use the most, I imagine some of you do too. I made this list because I realized how boring it was to write everything over and over again, then I realized that maybe I'm not the only one who never thought of leaving a list ready, so I decided to share it just in case.

This could be a perfect opportunity for a relevant power up. Since OS seems to be acting like he knows whats going on with the 'first' and the fact of the Omniscent sage more than likely being our grandpa with the karmic bond and the generally sus af behavior, give Wu Heir some familial love for the first time in like 10-15 years and make grandpa teach us body refining. Among all prospects, we could use it most effectively considering our general h2h skills and TW body and what not. Maybe it can even be used to compensate for the 'weak body' that Ruo and a few others accuse us of.

And wth is Yue Fang gonna teach us? I bet its gonna be some sort of lore.

I'm also hoping for something similar. I don't know how, but I certainly want an MC who uses both traditional and Body Refining cultivation methods. This is a route I've always liked in novels such as King of Gods, A Will Eternal and Martial World.

After reading this thread and seeing all the takes here I decided to post what's on my mind about how Poma is shaping around.
I, too, was sad and even angry about the road the story decided to go on due to all of reasons. To be brief, my anger was directed on the fact that, a lot of lore, intrigue and side characters started to feel sidelined for the sake of introducing the shitstorm that came with Tang Wei all the way back in the expedition.
I liked to theorize about big players of the story like Bohai, trying to think about their general motivations and place on the political board, how the rivalry with He Clan will be handled etc.

And now, out of nowhere, I was introduced to a character of Lady Butterfly who, not only is annoying to deal with in general, introduced a lot of twists and lore which made all the suffering protagonist and side characters went through, all the time of trying to figure out what's going on in a bigger picture sort of.. pointless?
So much personal and overall history felt like it went down the drain due to the introduction of this insane immortal stalker who was the "master manipulator" behind everything, and there was literally nothing I could do about it.
As someone said it already, it drained any motivation your character might have had, and I had the similar feeling where I'm just an observer of the story, simply reacting to things happening - introduction of even more cultivators like Yue Fang didn't help, it felt like, well, my safe space was invaded if that makes sense.
But after some time has passed and now that I replayed the demo, read all the new events and character interactions - I think I understand what author is going for.

If he plans to do what I think (judging from the discussions on the server), all the reveals and lore drops about the outside world actually make pretty good sense for the story.
I think, what's gonna happen is that our world will somehow fuse with Celestial Realm, basically starting a "soft reboot" to a lot of things, and I think it will be for the better.
It will allow our character to actually start to properly cultivate, without erasing the world (that will no longer feel like a stepping stone you must grow past (since it's now a part of the bigger picture) or the characters you might have grown attached to, while also introducing an actual interesting big conflict, with different factions that invaded your home.

I don't know, it might sound like me just coping with the new direction, but I think at this point I will just let Niki cook and create what he wants to create - just because it's different from my vision of my "perfect game" doesn't make it lesser. But this is just my take on it, feel free to disagree.

Seems like my thoughts were right because I felt everything changed after TW and Niki didn’t plan much after, someone said it felt like that and it’s true. MC having little agency kills my hope ngl Wu Fraud forever

Is this from the poma discord? Niki says its possible to do both body refining and spells. And i don't think he just introduced a body refiner just for the sake of world building and upping the stakes.

the Wu Fraud is still meme for me - the only problem they have is the lack of agency that was mentioned here.
Everything else point to them being very powerful, to the point of the main rival himself realizing your power after the tournament. I understand the frustrations, but "fraud" protagonist is the least of Poma's problems
I just hope niki will handle ROs better as the story goes on..

Bro really wants that body refining lol he’s not giving up, and yes seems like it’s from the discord .

I mean i can understand anyone of our calibre having little to no agency, but how long will it go like that? I certainly don't want half a book of content of the MC just moving along the tides. Niki needs to figure out the pacing of the story. I understand the tourney is a big thing now and slow pacing here is fine. But sooner or later he must move the story forward and with it the MC. I think he struggles with word count and progression. Due to the difference between side content compared to the main story, it feels like we've been weak forever.

Yes, it's the main reason why I made this post and the whole bit about Celestial Realm

 

[God]

Wait what about the whole IE being bad for your body??? Oh brother I swear

 

[Vitalik]

Nah, it's still a thing as far as the discord goes, so I wonder how the clans will handle other factions.
Anyway, I will stop posting screenshots at this point - other people can do that if they want to

 

[Gone_Dead]

What is this pomeranian? Is it something from cultivation lore?

 

[God]

What is this pomeranian? Is it something from cultivation lore?

Someone from Poma world I’m guessing lol

 

[Gone_Dead]

Someone from Poma world I’m guessing lol

Really? Lmao

 

[God]

Really? Lmao

Yes guess that’s the name he’s using for people born into Poma world since it said escape to a real cultivation world lol

 

[walvd]

Even by generic xianxia standard, by the time it hits 400k+ words most mc would already conquered their starting world. Yet here we are with POMA 800k+ words Wu Fraud is nowhere close to Shangtian level

Not to mention the highest limit of poma world is nascent soul, which is literally the start for actual xianxia story, XD. I won't compare it with beyond the timescape world, that world is scary af, where even foundation levels are above your best nascent souls in a higher xianxia world.

 

[Seyiz]

Perhaps Nicky was sensing that you would complain about the increasingly frequent addition of cultivators. Since he would not mention a living character who will have no relevance... See:
