I wonder if Adrian will ever fill the roles his summons currently lack Sirius-warrior/assasin Kanalon-multi element mage with decent physical ability Saena Healer/debuff cleanser I’m more foggy on order from here Charon Magical tank/debuffer Kimat is the odd one out of the summons to me in that he’s not exactly filling a new or role and probably he least interesting of them conceptually to me he’s a single now dual element (both covered by Kanalaon I think) mixed attacker that’s fast? Dodu physical tank as well as solid physical attacker Wisteria buff/mixed tank doesn’t get to shine much because she hasn’t evolved I think? I think it’s just Kenos now whose role isn’t well defined yet considering they overlap wi5 Adrian a ton. So the roles that could be seen as lacking are an army type (this is probably his biggest hole in ability) in the vain of some of mariposas summons, a summon that can summon a ton of non permanent lesser summons allowing for dealing with armies when AOE is innapropriate, often good for more drawn out large scale battles as well, and beats enemies vulnerable to armies. A bruiser this would be something like the behemoth we saw a while back that can take massive mixed type damage and dealing solid normally blunt damage to opponents dodu is bruiser esc minus his copy ability and lack of magic resist wisteria has the defense but not the offense. Last role I think is missing is physical ranged damage dealer, which is pretty self explanatory. The only role I see potentially getting filled by current summons is bruiser though odds aren’t too high imo unless wisteria gets a big update which she does need to be fair. Army type is a weird one because the most common summons that could fit that type are plant and insect, though a fungal summon could be really cool and work as well as a robot/cyborg summon. Could combine it with a berserker trope and have it be the bruiser as well if it’s something like a fungal behemoth that spreads spores as it takes damage. Bruiser and phys range are broad enough tons of things could fill them so Idk what would be best.
I wonder if mc will get an army type summon for his last one as we know those exist because he insect chick has one and it’ the main niche not covered by him or his summons i originally would have expected his insect summon to be that but it’ shaping up to be the spacetime bug so that’s unlikely In terms of non insext eusocial beasts there is just shrimp and naked mole rats which if he changes it to simply moles could be cool as it would also give him an underground type beast another option would be a robot/bio mechanica beast that could have tons of drones or smaller bots heck you could combine the two ideas
I wonder if there’s more to shins memory seal then we know could be anything from another talent sealed along with it, or it could be that the details aren’ quite what even uno knows it could even be that the reason shin sealed his memories was to stop him and uno fusing thus saving uno at the cost of himself regardless the seal can’t be that simple as in spite of it being made by a child who had presumably barely touched martial arts and mentalism current shin can’t find it
I hope the next arc is more gradual progression these event arcs are neat but in terms of power progression for shin it feels more like a drought then flash flood every so often then back to drought which can be fine but the droughts can easily last a bit too long
I wish mc got more innate talents feels like he could have definitely laid foundation for more and they are some of the most interesting parts of the power system his second one feels like it should be able to do more then it does idk what exactly but it’ just so underwhelming for what it’s from you would think he would at least start doing stuff like he did with the precision one and studying some that way the other thing that feels doesn’t do enough with is physique stuff it was built up he would take the chaos physique before Lin fan died but now not only is it better it has a strong body refining technique tied to it and he isn’t going for it I would get it if he had other physique plans like a similar thing with his incarnations to make an evolved physique or ones there studying but he doesn’t seem to and he hasn’t really explored non physique things like the sword bone or the dream thing at all. He also hasnt explored aquired physiques so we don’t know much about those. While I get the heavenly dao said he couldn’t make more regardless of method that seems to only apply to the world community given it was the heavenly dao that said it and that you said it was done before. Unless it’s the whole lower world or even sillier they happened to take the last 2 slots to mess with that in the whole chaos universe. I’m also dissapointed he stopped trying to be creative with the realms once he found out about nine extremities I don’t get why that would help with duiyi realm stuff given it’s a thing that’s existed and been known about for ages apparently and duiyi seemed to be about innovating which since it was introduced I feel like he’s stagnated in terms of for cultivation in both body which he got cute with the black hole idea but that’s it and energy and because he doesn’t do soul cultivation so no innovation there he really stopped trying to break the limits since he found out about it because he feels like it’s good enough to beat di tian I guess IMO hats stifled him at this point as he is no longer going for the absolute best only better then di tian I thought originally he might even try different unique methods for each incarnation but it’s unclear if he even used his original unique methods for them much less unique for each
I have my guesses on what shin mentalist swordsmanship will be my first guess is it will be based on the four perils and maybe monkey will even add a qilin equivalent to it as for how that will play out in game/real life I’m guessing it will tie into his transforming sword but I don’t know if it would need a full new class for it or not the hundun would be an urumi to represent chaos the taotie would either be a chainsaw sword or a khopesh to represent devouring stuff the taowu would be a giant great sword or shield sword representing the stubborn nature of it the hard one is the qiongqi it’s als got an odd connection to shin in that his ethereal avatar is a qiongqi minus some ox features and the hedgehog spikes while it lacks a clear weapon choice it’s apparently tied to the kamaitachi which uses a sickle and the khopesh is called the sickle sword so you could have it be that if I was going to add a 5th one equivalent to the Kirin/qilin/kylin I would go with the nine tailed fox as it’s mischeivous shapeshifter this could be the thing tying stuff together or some form of transforming/tricky sword like a gun blade a more traditional chain sword or any other form swapping sword if you want ones for the four symbols and I can’t remember all the weapons he already has but I guess turtlesnake would be the sheath maybe on a rope that could give different control Phoenix with a rapier tiger with his katana or maybe a pata dragon with a more agressive greatsword like a zweihander and maybe hook swords with Kirin idk
Might tie into there techniques which seem to require being a virgin female
Not really when she is crippled her techniques are getting removed on top of there inherently hierarchy her being presumably less talented realistically unable to progress during her time trapped she’s lucky if her mind doesnt break
The novel is fantastic the translation though is not it’s edited mtl and while that can be done well it’ s nothig special here readable without much brain stretching sure still some yeah much less quality stuff but the real nail in the coffin is the release rate don’ let the chapter number fool you most actual chapters are broken into thirds or even fifths so the 2chaps a day you think you are getting are 2/5 of a chapter which is unbearable
To be honest I feel like crunes biggest weakness if not the stories is his mental cultivation if he has his things that make his other two paths unique then his mental cultivation is pretty standard maybe the stuff relating to the dream will be what makes it his unique thing tho but I’m unsure it’s pretty clear this novel has taken drastic shifts in intention and direction as time has passed hard to say if better or worse as this is the only version we have but plenty of elements have been somewhat shrugged off the biggest change is obviously the goal in the god realm I think anyone can see the realm wars weren’t always the plan but that’s not neccesarily a bad thing we’ve also seen the shifts in krune’s path from rainbow technique and shields supplemented with tribulation lightning to his hunger law thundercloud whale style now Ive enjoyed both and missed the powers we’ve lost here were the fancy divine sense techniques that allowed offensive uses of them before being mostly forgotten and replaced with mental cultivation there was KRunes different artisan skills that basically got dropped one he reached godly path there’s also many companions who haven’t reappeared like the dream lizard whose name I forgot guy from heavenly race who I’m suprised wasn’t brought back to there sect heavin whose origin is still unexplained and has a very odd position in the story now that everybody is gonna have fused three path cultivation when he is really only able to use the one and isn’t even the second to come up with it now that every realm has it basically there’s the significance of the heavenly race and dracophoenix with the latter seeing diminished significance pretty early on there’s the fact soul cultivators can’t reincarnate. Also the rainbow elemental technique tied to soul cultivation. There’s even the original myriad wisps technique which got thrown out the door after the set up of him crafting a meridian based on his own law theres the heavenly cores which are just unmentioned now to an extent since the god realm arc started its become an entirely different story set on the husk of the original which isn’t neccesarily all bad but definitely has its costs and downsides hope you can bring back some of these characters/elements that and I hope the interaction with the Mong realm doesn’t lead to power homogenization like it seems there with the three headed style. And finally the last forgotten thing I can think of is the other tribulation elements like those seemed to have been forgotten so long ago and it’s wild especially because I feel like you could have given krune a different tribulation element then Luvile though it might simply be the one power you didn’t want to drop. But man would seeing Krune go back to his rainbow routes with a tribulation rainbow would be cool of course if you went that route you would have to shift hunger to more of his mental cultivation which would solve the first issue of it lacking uniqueness so huh.
