Besides, mages and cultivators are pretty much the same, except the latter gets much more physical in the way they zap their enemies

I have said very early in comments that this was never the case, he will have magic as a supportive role.

Thank goodness this isn't a conventional kingdom nor Earth then, I trust the readers are reasonable enough to notice the genre of the story.

she literally doesn't express herself in any way beside times when he isn't around to notice or is simply asleep, unless you can read minds, this comment of yours makes no sense

To be honest with you, the protagonist doesn't really need the chip, he wouldn't be able to have a clone like puppet as the original Leylin did, but in terms of knowledge, the system is way more overpowered, it's not like he can forget things, and whatever he learns is instantly applicable, no need for 108 hours optimization or whatever, everything he learns is already optimized at 100% proficiency, and beyond that is something that just like the OG, rely purely on him goin beyond by doing research or learning more of the subject.

As of right now, I'm planning on making Leylin Take over Kaliweir's body, so he would continue in the same direction as his original version or maybe not... I have thought about bringing Ming together with the other characters, but I am not sure how to make this right now, like, there are a number of ways, but which one would feel less forced? Should I just put him in the body of someone who would have gone to the same academy as the trio? Or should he go away and be forgotten? Either way has many variations on how it could happen, I'm just no sure which to pick.

because he isn't in the island, it's not a local faction, it's a widespread one.

Dude, never read WMW? This comment is a joke, right?

I'll consider it as you not reading and skipping entire sections of the story as clearly missed the justifications. A knight alone is not able to win without luck, this monster can take down entire squads by himself, and he was only used because the idea was always for someone of a lower level to make a miracle and kill it, it's about finding people with literal destiny inside them.

And his survival of the situation was only by luck, as he managed to stay in that near death state for long enough to stimulate the burning of his inner life force and became a knight, besides, he has a system, bo matter what the situation he approaches it won't most of the time be consistent with the rest of the universe simply because that's how system novels work.

OG Leylin, without any transmigrator inside, was a useless pervert sent out in HOPES of doing something with his life, this one was never like that, therefore his father never considered this, and this is more about the status they will acquire rather than becoming a magi as this is not a realistic goal when you come from Chernobyl Islands where most people are just knights or normal folks without any interaction whatsoever with spiritual energy and magic power. George also only participated in the competition because this time he had someone who he could trust, as in the original time line he would have simply missed the opportunity and Catherine would have followed her path alone and eventually get killed.

Either you didn't read, or forgot that someone did managed to advance alone instead of with a partner, the only difference being that the person itself was hired by Catherine enemies.

it's a group fight, and without him, the bear also wouldn't have died.

well, I may have some free time in the next 24 hours to write, but I can't say for sure.

he isn't as strong as a grand knight for reasons already stated in previous chapters though. I hear your complain, but of it, I won't change anything, for the reasoning behind it is logical as life force can't simply be ignited by using something like the inheritance of a Viscount, the training he does was never mountains above what others do, the difference lies mostly on the fact that even reaching the peak of the first stage in cultivation was not possible due to physical limitations derived from his age, all the accumulation and foundation he built only puts him in a higher stand compared to George, enough to fight and win against a knight, but not yet one.

if you have any critic to do, please say it.

Is it a girl?

steam? like... smoke? mist? That kind of steam?

You're looking for novels to which website?

Is it a game? I really don't recognize this tittle, haha! But either way, appreciate your support.
