I stayed neutral, don’t even ask about Ruo, kicked Yue out, didn’t let him kill He Gang, and yeahh. Imagine my surprise when I loaded that main save and I got the thanks for playing lmao.
Really? I was kind of seeing "Yue" as a route I wouldn't take either, but in the latest update, with Yue Yan making it clear that being adopted by the clan or being named the leader of POMA World wasn't realistic, it comforted me a lot. Now I really see it as a neutral route, since the MC doesn't submit to anyone, it's more like a cooperation with exchanges of benefits. The downside is having to put up with Yue Fang, but he's just annoying, not loathsome like the scumbags from Rogues or Imperial. And above all, at least it's not an obvious manipulation.

You can ask Yue Yan to have yourself be adopted into the Yue Clan in the newest update though when you ask to negotiate terms of cooperation more concretely.

I agree though, theres a lot of leeway for a neutral run there if you ask for something like cultivation resources.

As an aside, I think I found a way to return stat checks to what they were before 0.30/0.29 on Earth and Heavenly by editing the html file you can download from itch.io. It's not a perfect method though, I've noticed some oddities.

I think if you simply change the stats.difficulty from 1.5 (Earth) or 3 (Heavenly) to something like 4 or any other number other than 100 (Story Mode), it should work.

I'll try this on my phone later, thanks. What I did was basically CTRL+F for *if difficulty = 3 (or 1.5 on Earth) on Notepad++ and change the multipliers on checks and crits to 1 instead of 0.8 on the three instances I found the variable was used.

I noticed though that this resulted in some weird happenings when I tested it pre-expo:

The check for when Ma Rin makes you kneel with her personal treasury (the one where you get the crown of suppression) was originally something like 13 on Mortal as I recall, but on this modified Heavenly it was checked for 12 instead. Now it's possible I misremembered, but given I played mortal right before that it's unlikely.

The first arena fight (the scripted one with Yun Ge or something, at Early Houtian) has an impossible constitution check at 23(!) when he utilizes his heart stopping technique. Since you can't use anything but Energy Infusion at that fight, your maximum stats (with infusion) are 22.

Overall though, everything seemed to work fine and more or less like Mortal, including damage. I'll see if I can't fiddle more with the game and work out these issues tonight

I will keep it real not being adopted into their clan directly is one heck of an excuse, even though yue yan said she will talk about it at the very least we can get second option direct protection provided by her Father still tho hear me out lol.
Mc isn't one of the best talents he is THE BEST TALENT in the verse , Unless yue clan has direct beef with tang wei they shouldn't have issue adopting him and they don't seem to have been with him even though his *** was evil and most gods were fine with him ,we already saw how moon goddess helps good mc.Now a clan on par with the strongest clan the sovergien's clan which has so many Immortal, multiple immortal Emperors and a goddess ,why will they not get someone who is guaranteed to be god under protection , sovergien doesn't have been either with tang wei so it literally removes all actual threats anything else is below lol .

We already know gods are on par so mc can never **** with their clan enough even as a god ,all they risk is mc uses them and then ****s off when he reaches godhood and the upside is if mc stays they have two gods in a clan,even neutral mc should be picked up instantly while saint mc should have been a done deal anyways,I think the reason it isn't like this is because the evil MC's are left with nothing or as usual niki doesn't want mc to get what he deserves.

But imo even an evil mc should have been adopted they would believe they can re-educate his *** and what not ,they are clan of better folks whose people aren't blaming mc for tang wei **** even though many others would.

My other worries I don't think niki will be handled the branching for main plot those three paths so I am worried we will be railroaded into something it also means let's say we get adopted by their clan always in all routes conclusion it will mean MC's who aligned earlier or got the adopted part done ain't gonna get anything special because we already know the resources are everything and wu heir in all honesty should deserve it but niki won't do that,so even if mc is later actually adopted to their clan watch it barely make a difference as it will be like mc gets **** only after he leaves poma World which is end of story ,as if they couldn't send mc stuff.

Imo it works as the main route for all MC's but especially good ,but neutral MC's should be fine too and because of how young evil mc is he will get t benefit of the doubt along with his potential which for whatever reason seems to be ignored lol.Also I am hoping Yue yan shows more interest in MC I don't care about romance rn but in general it feels so off because there was almost no interest from her side lol ,this route could be done so well if they show the right amount of interest lol.

I think real problem with adoption not even cultivators, but Heaven hate. Both Nicky and LB pretty directly stated that Heavens will do everything to destroy Wu heir. If Heavens was able to kill TW, then nobody is safe, even a God.

And even if Yue adopt MC, nothing really guarantees his loyalty. The moment he reaches Godhood Yue have no leverage on him. Only Sovereign can kill a God, means Moon Goddess at worst may only beat MC (and not for long considering MC physique).

Also, I hope Nicky will not forget that Wu heir has Dreamweaver as a friend. There pretty good chance that Dreamweaver would if not accept MC in his sect, then at least offer protection and cultivation resources.

He(Dream weaver )should accept mc like you said , but tbh no god was doing dumb **** like tang wei and imo it is for them(yue clan) still a net plus to have two gods lol I just can't take it seriously that they don't want to adopt him the heavens excuse is so *** lol.Not calling you out but just more so the game imo as I already said what you described is the worst case scenario they still doesn't lose much with that mc fuc*ed off alright that's that while the best case scenario is them having two gods the heavens thing as big as it is also because the type of **** tang wei would do along with his luck but he was too volatile and if everything is always going to be heavens this heavens that might as well not have a story.So imo it is as usual just an excuse to nit give WU heir what he rightfully would be offered lol.Like if yue clan was some mid tier clan without a god I could take this excuse of heavens or mc wasting their resources but I can't with how much niki glazes the gods lol.
Also on another topic IT is a sure thing niki will not write wu heir post NS folks who have nudged him towards it pretty much said he answered that he wants to write more Cultivation stories in the verse but not with WU heir and his excuses changes but I think he simply doesn't like his Mc ,I mean yeah mc is kind of bland but he could be made better just sucks when the dev himself has dropped the ball on him like why so much lore and future stuff when we will never see it we will never actually get to be with lb , dream weaver or yue clan cuz story ends at NS .I don't even understand what is the point of all this now.
