I'm certain now, the power scaling in this novel is different from the actual OP manga, I can also fully say that whatever abilities the author has decided to give to Imu by the time the manga ends, this novel will have to rescind them. it would not work with the true work's power scaling making this one a huge plot hole.
Well thats the bad thing about readers catching up. When i first found this story i binged it and gave all my stones to you since it offered ao much enjoyment. However now that im caught up on chapters, one a day isnt nearly satisfying enough. So i give like one power stones and give the others to whatever story im focused on reading now. Thats not your fault, ands its not that the story isnt good. Its just i give my stones to the stories i most enjoyed reading that day. Since i dont read this everyday to stockpile chapters it also means you dont get power stones from me.
