1. The cosmic streamer (Hakkrasha)(Im looking forward to the day he talks in his sleep thanking a donation...) 1. Jake (like them both so much so both in first position) 3. Will (when he convinced the zhorion not to kill him... that was funny af xD) 4. Enya. (i liked her strategy of burning half the island to scape the flies) 5. Bawopi. (just cos hes the mortal enemy of the one that should not be named (Ru...). Id like too to see Jake and bawopi coming to terms and the nosks moving to Jakes island) mentions... 1. Tim. Well, i think his powers could lead to REALLY funny and unexpected situations by abusing the luck power... so even if this time he was just fleeing, just imagine him winning the first place in an ordeal by a struck of luck...xD (kind of like Domino in Deadpool) 2. Brice and George. Just like them to be Jakes punch bags when something goes wrong and he is stressed 3. The 3rd winner(forgot his name lol) Bruh he gave Jake a blue stone (which helped him a lot a while later), then tried to become friends with him and Jake atomizes his hand... ma guy must be feeling down... give him some love Ark :)
1)Jake (family relations. How did they react to his incredible placement?) 2)Ruby (love, military, spies, galore!) 3)Crunch (I want his sidekick back!) 4)Tim (this kid deserves some love and I want to see him get stronger) 5)Will (his charisma powers have such a unique power and utilization. Imagine him making a cult xD)
My criteria for voting is based on what can a character bring to the story? What is the potential of the “powers” they have? What could they add on a team? As it was said that for the fifth ordeal forward people form teams (chapter 166) 1. Jake 2. Xi - I get a feeling that she’s too helpful for an oracle AI, that those answers authority insufficient are dangerously close to breaking some rule, and that she has guided Jake’s thoughts and actions in a very helpful way. 3. Gerulf and Princess Lucia - How and where are they? Why did Lucia become strong so much faster than Jake if they have similar bloodlines? They are the 2 people I’d want to see the most on “Team Jake”. (the points go to Gerulf, but their reappearance will likely come in a package) 4. Ruby - We know little about her, just that she’s Jake’s soul mate (whatever that is), has a good bloodline, her allies fear her while she seems nice, she has a split personality and is “too important to the earth government” from the last chapter. Even if she becomes an opponent it creates opportunity for strategies, counter-strategies, plot twists and so on. No matter which side she ends at I expect it’ll bring a lot to the story. One of my favorite chinese novels is Transcending the Nine Heavens and others of the same author because of the interactions between the MC and villains. 5. Tim - He’s the perfect scout, he’ll luckily find all the good places and things you should find and sense and avoid danger, he just needs to mature, grow stronger and learn to fight so not everything is a danger. Honorable mentions (in order of importance) 1. Crunch - chapter 8 said that Crunch could reverse the pet contract between them, it should be funny and crunch has lots of potential 2. Anya - There are only 2 people in the world that Jake actually admits he cares about, Anya and his uncle, how can he do nothing to help her survive and become stronger? Will no one attack her because of him? 3. Will - There is a reason a CEO that wants to be a businessman in the mirror universe is on the same team as Jake, I’m curious to see what he’ll do. Another reason is that it’d be boring if the story was just Jake fighting alone as he “level’s up” and challenges all the problems in the universe. Giving most of the kingdom building tasks to Will and letting him do the behind the scenes work would be nice. I also want to see applications of Charisma, it seems quite OP. and... 4. Enya and Esya - Lacks some individual development, so far we have a hard time separating one from the other therefore they are both together in one position. The reason they are here is that if I remember right on their original world they had “magic” of fire and healing. Having a mage with healing on a team just seems so OP, like infinite oracle heals . 5. The Ewok (teddy bears) - first appears in chapter 271, did they survive all the trials 3 by just being harmless and cute? 6. Other characters I’d want to see more of. Bawopi, Sarah, Zhorion woman (the silver one ch 315-318), Hakkrasha, Amy, Ruby’s teammates ( xiaoming, Ryo, Craig), mosquitoes, or bees, or ant evolvers I’ve been thinking about writing a book myself, but so far I don’t have any nice ideas. I’ve just been thinking about my favorite books and the reason I liked them. Some I’d like to note are the villains of Transcending the Nine Heavens (and other LN of the same author) and how much they add to the story. Another is the way the author of Game of Thrones (the BOOK trilogy) used multiple PoV to make the world building in which no character knows everything helping the reader get a better grasp of the big picture. I think that a chapter with a Will PoV would be a nice way to show some kingdom-building showing more about earth government and explain how charisma works before it explodes on Jake’s face as Jake right now couldn’t care less about those things. I don’t think you could get some ideas from different styles and add the best of it to the story.
Awesome chapter Ark! The biggest reveal to me is the alteration if his race. If consuming the soul stones was enough to advance his bloodline level, giving him a more than significant boost in his strengths and their applications, then the change consuming the liquid alloy being a new race name has to mean something big has changed, but maybe it’s one of those latent bloodlines or something, or just needs conditions to be met. Also, how many tons of the alloy did he swallow? Xion said that he’d left another gift for Jake, something he’d only discover after getting back from the ordeal; just to be clear, that thing wasn’t mentioned right?
ranking 1)Hakrasha(I love the mystery surrounding him and how he doesn't seem to really care about anything but sleep) 2)Jake(should be number 1 but.....) 3)Sarah(didn't like her at first but I think she's changed a lot since the first ordeal) 4) Will(would love to see how far he can go with his charisma ,maybe even tame dragons lol) 5) Tim( his low key luck that seems to always keep him safe I wonder how badass he'll be if he hears it towards his attack instead) honourable mention Enya( the better of the two sisters) Gerulf(even if we might never see him again he is to thank (partly) for Jake's bloodline)
A universal comparison for stats is both possible, but could be misleading. The best way to do so would be doing the whole calculations with all the multiplying and dividing done, of course using the local environment for a common divider. However, you would then need to have a common name for a measurement to help lower the number. For instance, *insert name* = 1,000,000 effective points. Well, at this very early stage, perhaps some lower measurement based on 1,000 would be better. But that would mean the measurement would need a 2nd name at some point, maybe even a 3rd(or more) later on because multiplied stats forming an effective number tends to skyrocket. Of course, the terminology could be skipped by using k, m, b, t.... And just claiming that each species could use their own way of understanding, defaulting to the oracle language for those that don't have a method of their own (like the cats).
