Dao Ascension (WIP) [86K Words | 161K Patreon] [High Fantasy, Overpowered Protagonist, Chinese fantasy, Cultivation world, Xianxia, Jianghu]

personally i find that 90% of evil paths in video games are a lot less fun and are nothing more than “look how evil i am i kicked this puppy to show how evil i am and it’s so edgy and cool” but there are some like in the swtor MMO of the sith jugg where being evil is so over the top and hammy that it wraps back around from being so edgy it’s dumb to so edgy it’s actually hilarious so i rarely find an evil playthrough to be at all interesting because it usualy ends up being boring because it feels like it’s designed for a 13 year old

I can never be truly evil but it depends on what is happening. If someone tries anything against our sister in this I won’t let them walk but I am unable to make people slaves. I probably play the evil path once and then leave it alone.

see im similar with my character but he’s also got kind of like two personalities in a way he’s incredibly intelligent and powerful able to figure things surrounding him out well before anyone else but he’s also kind of childish, he’s not going to show his true power unless it is for his sister’s sake but he will show just enough of his power to show off a little like in the sect he never shows off that he’s far more powerful than anyone else in existence but he does show that he is by far among the strongest students if not the strongest

Basically we’re the same. We just screw around pretending we are not the strongest on this realm but that doesn’t mean we won’t use any of it to punish people who actually deserve it. Sis might not agree with how I do things one day but we are her bodyguard so it doesn’t really matter.

and with our mothers plans to keep our abilities hidden till she’s ready im being more proactive about it by showing just enough to make the weaker assassination attempts thinks twice it’s easy to make a spoiled princess have an “accident” at the school when her “bodyguard” is a pathetic child, its another thing if that same bodyguard APPEARS to be a once in a generation prodigy

This reply is about automate intelligence :

Automated intelligence (AI) is just automated, we are talking about writing something unique there.
Chatgpt will butcher the langua cuz its automation come from agregate models/knowledge, its not even good knowledge its stolen knowledge and as you know karma will rekt those that try it, one way or another. So no automation. There are a long topic in cog forum about that subject.

The author focus on the story, and composition. Those small details will get correct later.
IMO its perfect.
Oh and job done with gpt and those model break any type of copyright. So author can get sue by people that those automate steal from. Its a nightmare. Let not talk about when people will release tools that scan models and compare work done…again nightmare.

Did you even read my comment? I specifically mention NOT using AI to correct whole pages because it will most likely rewrite it to be awful. What I’m suggesting is for the AI to be a REVIEWER, not an editor. Here’s an example;
“My name is tom an I work on a mcdonalds in America. People all over the country adore my name because it reminds them of a certain character.”
Please make a list of the grammar mistakes of the passage above and how I should correct it, do not actually change anything, just point out the mistakes.
Here is a list of the grammar and usage mistakes in the passage, along with explanations and how to correct them:

  1. “tom”

Mistake: The name “tom” is not capitalized.

Correction: Capitalize proper nouns. It should be “Tom”.

  1. “an”

Mistake: Incorrect article used before a consonant sound.

Correction: Use “a” instead of “an” because “McDonald’s” starts with a consonant sound. It should be “a”.

  1. “work on a mcdonalds”
    Mistake: Incorrect verb-preposition pair and improper noun formatting. “Work on” is typically used for projects, not employment. Also, “McDonald’s” should be capitalized and include the apostrophe.

Correction: Use “work at” for employment at a location, and properly capitalize the brand name. It should be “work at McDonald’s”.

Hi all, a few posts have been hidden. If you have feedback about spelling or grammar issues in a WIP, it’s best to provide screenshots of errors which is actionable feedback, rather than suggesting use of Grammarly etc which is discouraged by Hosted Games. Commentary about AI is off-topic.

Thank you.

Yeah, my MC so far is very chill…as he doesn’t ever really feel challenged or threatened just yet. So he mostly sleeps in class or sneaks out to the forest. He does help ppl that need it, but he won’t fight other cultivators battles unless they are his friend/family and the battle has become truly life threatening to that person. Otherwise, he knows they can’t get strong if he fights for them. So he hangs back to watch, only ready to step in if it becomes deadly. He’s not the type to steal his friends kills.

Another question for the readers, if you get a chance to live the life of a character from lower realm of the story, then which character would you choose and why?

2 Likes

Is not a bit too generic ?

In the low realm everyone will pick this path.

My take will always go for a cultivator the one that join a cult, not those dumb demonic one.
Those that give training and structure for mind an body.

Well my take is if I was born in a low realm I would have solitary cultivation and try my luck with cultivation and who knows maybe I invent a new type of cultivation or the heavens will smite me
