    instead of which word?

    When it came down to which Intent was most useful for defeating an enemy, True Will of Killing remained by far the most versatile: it not only increased the lethality of attacks but also allowed the aura itself to intimidate, paralyze with fear, and even inflict death independently of the fighter's spiritual pressure.

    It's "stand" and not "withstand" on my side so it's webnovel trying to catch pirate accounts once again.

    However, the vast difference in their Oracle Ranks was no laughing matter. As soon as Lysandra directed her palm towards Zerei and her hand shimmered with a pale radiance, the Aerelian's broken bones started to knit together rapidly. Seconds later, he was able to stand once again.

    As said above, the mistake is not from me. The sentence appears as "come back to life" on my side.

    It goes without saying that if his soul was completely annihilated due to a failed baptism, he would not come back to life as could be the case with his body. If his physical body remained whole, it might survive but would enter a vegetative coma until the eventual emergence of a new consciousness that would have nothing to do with the current him.

    Aether is still at the origin of everything, including Lumyst and True Will. It's the building block for all other forms of power in The Oracle Path. If you're into programming, you should always compare it to the binary language (Aether) and the higher-level languages (Mana, Reiga, Lumyst, Fluid, Spirit/Soul Power etc.) derived from it (python, c++ etc.). With higher-level languages, you can create things faster, easier and more intuitively, which would have been much more time-consuming and tedious with binary language. The difference, however, is that a high-level language is intrinsically limited by its own code (generally what it was designed for in the first place). For example, in principle, you won't code an open-world rpg on playstation 5 with javascript. The goal of Aetherists like Jake is to code/fabricate with Aether (binary language), more practical/functional energy sources to save time and make life easier in real life by automating spell casting processes, which would otherwise have to be done consciously (Jake having to manually create each Aether Rune and Symbols etc.). Soul is also made of Aether, and so is True Will, which is powered by Soul Power and Soul Strength, too. It's just that it's a form of Aether so highly compressed and complex in nature, that Jake isn't able to tell the difference.

    In the blink of an eye, Jake towered over twenty-five meters tall, his mass exceeding thousands of tons. His impeccably sculpted muscular body was riddled with lesions, his face ghastly pale from the backlash of Twyluxia after drawing so much biomass from his Inner Space.

    As I've already explained to several readers, this is not from me but from Webnovel. They have implemented a measure where they randomly replace certain words to more easily catch content pirates. It's probably happened many times without you noticing on inconsequential words, but sometimes it lands on 'Oracle,' which becomes 'Divine,' or 'Player' turning into 'Gamer.' It's always correct on my side, even when I directly open the chapter from the app rather than from Inkstone where I edit it.

    'If our Oracle Paths don't account for such a Player, then...' His eyes narrowed ominously, arriving at an unsettling conclusion. 'All the more reason to trust my divinations even more.'

    In what sense? The quality of the writing or the pace of the plot? Because, contrary to what you might think, I actually took quite a bit of time to write this one after the weekend break.

    Jake and the other recruits had received a badge from the Soulmancer escorting their regiment upon arrival at Grimstone Keep, apparently serving the same purpose as his new ring. I had forgotten to mention it again, so I had to slightly rewrite chapters 1077, 1078, and 1079 a few days ago to fix the plot hole that a reader pointed out to me. Depending on where you were in the story, you might have missed a part.

    On the way, Jake relayed to her what he had learned about his black skull badge and the dire urgency of tracking down the Soulmancer in question. From the severe weight with which Meribelle took the news, he instantly sensed she was even more anxious than him to locate the individual.

    Jake didn't move, but many things happened.

    "I think we have a duty to help our allies bathe in peace." Jake chuckled, cracking his neck. "Let's get rid of these pests, shall we?"

    brown-ocher because of his current bloodline.

    It's worth noting that Kang Jun didn't really fit the Underworld Barbarian mold even though he had the build. His slicked-back sandy hair and deep brown skin contrasted starkly with the mostly black or gray hair of these royal guards, not to mention their pale complexions.

    Jake is actually very handsome since he got his new bloodline. Fairy kind of beauty. He has never been ugly either by the way. Just that Myrtharian Jake was somewhat "bulky", looking more like a Chad than a handsome male model.

    What made it more amusing was that the Soulmancer King was likely hiding among these five and was renowned for being exceptionally beautiful. Except now, it was clear that the beauty of these five clowns was at best mediocre, with only the blue-blooded recruit qualifying as passable.

    On paper, you're absolutely right. But it's not that simple. For surface-level reasons, it could be the same logic as Torvi or this female commander. They just want to overwhelm their enemies with sheer numbers, then bask in the glory once they're worn down and reduced in count. Even if these soldiers manage to kill enemies, the aura doesn't necessarily grow linearly. It's like Aether stats; you need more and more Aether to keep boosting them. So, at a certain point, killing a few dozen or hundred rookies doesn't make a huge impact on enemy performance. However, their numbers do continue to dwindle. Of course, this is only possible because Twyluxia is massive, and they're not likely to run out of troops anytime soon. Taking down well-trained elites with high potential is also worth it.

    Right now, as thousands of conscripts lost their lives for next to nothing, the gray-haired woman was comfortably seated on a velvet throne, perched atop a twelve-meter-tall mobile steel tower.

    Jake also arrived almost three days ago. The baptism lasted two days.

    "Oh? Already negotiating, Cho Min Ho?" She sneered, her laughter failing to reach her eyes. "I've killed some of my playthings for less than that. But let's say I give you a chance. What do you want in return?"

    Thank you for your review. I admit I'm struggling to grasp exactly what you're getting at and what you're criticizing about my novel, especially after over 1,000 chapters. No character growth? Maybe I'm biased as the author, but seriously? Are we even reading the same story? Most reviews and discussions on Discord suggest his transformation is quite drastic on every level. Traits you might not like, such as his cynicism or pettiness, are part of his character. They're not going away. If you're referring to his romantic relationship/s, they develop slowly, but romance was never the main focus. There are plenty of other web novels out there that might better cater to that interest. You also mentioned that it often feels like the antagonists are smarter than the hero, as if he's always one step behind, merely reacting. But that's intentional. The four lost years you mentioned couldn't have been anticipated unless he became completely paranoid and refused to leave his home. I'm always amazed by how some readers dislike any situation where the main character faces challenges, whether it's betrayal, unexpected twists, or even legitimate defeats. I recently read "Shadow Slave" (the site's top pick, right?) and it receives similar criticisms, yet I loved it. As for your comparison to "Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse", that comparison speaks volumes about your preferences. They're vastly different stories with differing metrics. I can tell you're not a webnovel writer, because if you were, you'd understand that many factors beyond quality influence views and profitability. First and foremost: release rate. I have a full-time job in the real world. Writing is just a hobby. Yes, it's paid, but it's supplementary income. I live in an expensive country, and the income from TOP would barely sustain me above the minimum wage, which is a no-go. So, as it doesn't earn enough to live on, I can't leave my actual job. Once readers (many of whom use pirate sites) understand this, fewer authors will abandon their stories. We're neither slaves nor volunteers. Regarding "Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse", in terms of regular privilege readers (those truly committed to supporting us financially), we're similar, with 300-500 privilege readers monthly. But with my lower release rate (6-7 chapters per week vs. 14+), I make fewer daily subscriptions. So, I earn less (around 30-50% less due to this factor alone), which drops my rankings in Trending, Power, and Golden Ticket (since a reader has to spend 500 coins to earn a golden ticket). This results in lower visibility and credibility, but also, I rarely participate in the Win Win Event (since I don't always publish 1,500 words a day, I'm disqualified). This is the only guaranteed way to get featured spots like banners. That's significant visibility I'm missing. Lastly, the first few chapters are crucial in grabbing reader attention, and I admit the first volume needs work for various reasons.

    The chapter might be a bit confusing; I'll rework it a bit tomorrow. In summary, the fleeing army rushing towards them was under bombardment during their escape, but the arrows targeting them covered such a wide area that they reached Jake's regiment before they did. To go back to the introduction of the chapter, when Jake and his regiment finally encounter the pursued army, he's basically the only one still standing, or nearly so.
