(WIP) Path of Martial Arts: The Beginning (Dark, Eastern Fantasy | 590k words)

I actually mod the game so yeah, Overlord doesn’t cut it for me but not for your “I want a totally different story in which the game caters for my own personal fantasy”, I mod it because I really don’t wanna grind things so I put silly number things in places, augment relationships and reduce the penalties of some body configurations.

Which is why you’re able to openly criticize it, yes-yes. What you cannot say is “imma steal this guys story, make it my own and fill it with AI writing”, cause that’s gonna get you in trouble, here and in anywhere else, but hey if you think that’s white-knighting, you’re free to think so!

You really think I would steal this IF and use AI to write it? Is that why you being rude to me right now? Cause rest assured I’m a God fearing man and would do no such thing.

You really gotta think how you come over when you say things like these; and I guess only one side can criticize something, anything else is being rude to you yes?

The hell is wrong with you, why are you not giving this a rest, you are not even the author. This is what I mean by being white knight.

Pause and take a deep breath, my God-fearing brother. It’s not rudeness. It’s responding to the implication any reasonable reader would have taken from your own (rude, by the end) comments about the game leading into you suddenly bringing up AI. If you didn’t mean it, great, but don’t get steamed up.

Surely authors of IF used AI rendered images even once

where do people get this idea that mc is weak from? mc is growing at a crazy rate? you have to remember the mc father gave up on the clan and mc had no masters unlike ruo who had all of the best. mc is not just gonna one shot everyone yet. the mc is 19 literally obviously some people and things will be stronger but they’re growing at an insane pace but ruo was trained by the best and have crazy skills so it seems like he’s better but obviously he probably been training with the best of them since he was a kid.

It will never be enough for power fantasy addict you see, unless they can play a game where MC one-shot everyone despite it making no sense lorewise or gameplay wise.

How do I beat Long Chen in the final battle of the expedition? I always end up dead if I use the golden seed.

lol when did this become a place to take about the patreon updates?

My take on Overlord mode is that it is basically story mode in video games, it makes the combat easier so you can experience the story however Easy mode does not effect the story directly. Plus if Overlord mode really did give the MC the strength/power some of you guys want to feel like the “Main Character”, than you would just be the bargain bin Mc I constantly read in crappy wuxia/xianxia stories, going around face slapping anyone who goes against them and collecting every hot girl around them like they are pokemon

The problem is that you are spamming the golden seed, I am pretty sure you are supposed to use it sparingly, I went back to an old save and did not use it and when I used the seed against Long Chen it worked

I get what you’re saying about the story…
Most people here wouldn’t understand your line of reasoning because they didn’t take the story based on what it was built around while you did.
Most of them came to the game with the approach of a Martial arts game where you transverse life like a common Martial arts to while you expected an op mc after reading the beginning of the book which seemed to glorify the mc so much that you would expect this book to make them op or give you the choice to be that.
And to those people that think those complaining about the mc being too weak are asking for too much,I as someone who also wants that thinks that the mc isn’t weak as a character but weak compared to the characters they are getting categorised with.
E.g,when a student is in a class with their age mates and top their class,they are regarded as smart but when you force the student to enter a grade higher, obviously they will seem mediocre compared to the students in the higher class.
The mc isn’t weak but when the author literally made the entire story to have the mc around people stronger than him and also making the person that was supposed to be the rival of the mc state that he can keep up with long Chen who is basically the strongest peak Houtian and makes pretty much every prodigy relevant to the story be able to fight someone a level higher than them while making the mc a giant among ants(only dominating people the same level as them), obviously there will be readers that would think the mc is weak.
So it really isn’t their fault they expected the story to play out how it started off.
And the truth is as much some of us want that,the author can’t just start writing the story from scratch to make the difficulty levels have more significance on the game.
Well at least from the new patreon update,we can tell that the mc will start doing mc things😆

So using the seed worked but the bomb didn’t?

pls blur :goat:

Both didn’t work, but I think Long Chen respects you more if you use the golden seed, using the 99,999 Failures is pretty f*cked up, a lot of disciples would be incinerated by the blast.
