(WIP) Path of Martial Arts: The Beginning (Dark, Eastern Fantasy | 750k words)

You don’t need to be a jerk – there’s some situations where in order to gain points with her you have to actively stick your neck out for her (like interrupt the arena fight) and without boosted gains from high charisma you’ll find yourself under the romance threshold otherwise, by the time it rolls around.

I tend to ignore agility and strength and focus only on resistance and vitality (mainly vitality) and I win most fights taking a lot of hits but arriving at the end alive

Those are masters, not romance options. It’s the difference between asking someone on a date and applying for a university-one is going to have different requirements from another.

True i’m just saying i wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to something similar with the romance options.

As far as I understand, Ai’s romance is locked behind Chu Aiguo’s route, even though there are other masters you can choose who might offer better benefits, and you can only choose your master once after you wake up, so unknowingly you could lock yourself out of her romance. Viewed in that way, it’s not so different from traits.

Question for those that use precognition trait how useful is it? I remember a long time ago it was super bugged so every time I tried it the game would bug out or crash. Not sure if that ever got fixed or not

It has currently little to no use, but the author has mentioned it’s something that will get addressed at some point. For now though you’re much better off spending that point on something else.

It sucks you can have a high relationship with her but now she behaves as if we are bad or something I opted for no masters so during the auction I chose to talk to her and she was rude for no reason .The relationship was close to 90 with her.

Spoilers for mission 3 (the one after the bandits)

It’s my personal headcanon that the demon queen never learned to read( she used to be a peasent girl ) so she missed all the controversy lmao.

Its because she forces you to become her child and to make that official she attempts to rid you of all of your blood ties.

Funny enough, I lost the good looking trait when I let my character become the spider queens “son”. Hair is just where I draw the line.

I’ve misread “seclude myself” as “seduce myself” and wondered for a moment if Long Chen was made official RO. Horny jail, etc. ._.

It’s been a long few months since I’ve been here, but this is one of those WIPs that I love to return to.

I agree, my first playthrough is always focused on being the strongest, and the next will be as a middling, followed by the weakest possible. I adore the games that give us the choice.

We only care about freedom here and that means being the strongest

I want to do whatever I fell like XD, sometimes I want to “unlive” someone, sometimes not. My char goal is to be free, from everything, that his reason for becoming strong, slaughter does not match his goal, cause it takes away freedom from other people.
(Of course, unless they attempt to take away his freedom first)
