Great experience! While the grammar is not perfect yet, it has been improved upon.

Two things I feel need adressing, one minor and one major: on the arena fight, if you knock out your opponent the narration still says you’ve killed him; and on the island mission, if you sneak in and let Ruolan defeat the bandit chief, when the girl appears, you get by mistake the page I assume you get if you assault it instead, with the chief appearing and fighting you again, then the girl appearing again. Basically you get two versions of the fight, rather than one as intended.

EDIT: Also, if I could request something, it’d be the choice to knock out rather than kill the criminals at the bar. I may be mistaken, but I don’t think anywhere else are your forced to kill (other than the phoenix guy at the very start, anyways)

You also kill when rescuing the children, if I remember correctly.

My MC is good, caring and protective of his friends, but also quite mischievous and fickle. He is mostly merciful, but can be ruthless to those deserving no mercy. He enjoys long naps in the classroom and chilling in nature. After loved ones, food is his second top priority. He is not easily provoked and will ignore insults thrown at him by lesser beings. :sweat_smile::rofl:

my playthrough has him keeping his true level as hidden as he can but showing just enough for his own gain but ultimately right now his full devotion to this world is for the sake of his sister harm her or even attempt to and there will be nothing left of you

Thank you for pointing it out, I’ve fixed both of the errors and about adding an option to knock out the criminals, it wasn’t your decision to kill them as you were following Ruolan’s lead.

I played like a ruthless evil maniac in my first playthrough, but now I like playing as a playful and merciful good kid who’s still an arrogant asshat. Didn’t kill anyone when I had the choice, that’s called character development, baby.

As for why I played that way, I quite enjoy being a kind savior here since it’s really easy to instantly make a person’s life 1000% better just by lifting a pinkie lol.

DAMN !!! Thats totally ruthless

Oh and I like the fact that you could Cure the blind man in the forest, I thought he is some demonic Cultivator or evil scheming guy but turns out a genuine kind guy

In matters other than involving ruolan the sister i play full evil and plan to do so as my first run when full game comes out.

I honestly could never be full evil myself. Unless it’s a silly evil like in cogs like The Grand Academy of Future Villains. Or a complex evil like Fallen Heroes. Just to much against my actual nature to be a complete bstrd who lets an old lady drown while watching like a psycho or a creepy uncle creep on kids. :sweat_smile:

Like, I enjoy playing what I call semi-evil. I can’t go full heartless psycho. Not fun for me at all.

I think the codex needs a lot more information like worlds, realms, what is qi the powerful figure weapons and on

I’m only adding things/names in codex that I’ve wrote about it in the story and about weapons, I’ll introduce weapon system and other stuff when MC will travel around the world after time skip.

If there is an evil path in the game, I always take it.
Being good is boring, you just help everyone, no matter who they are and what they deserve. You don’t even need to think, just pick the good option every time.

I don’t understand why most people don’t even touch evil choices. They are
always memorable and sometimes really fun.
Killing this dude with prophecy was fun. Why keep someone so stupid alive?
