    Define powerful. If you mean able to take on multiple normal foes, then yes. If you mean does he break into the Champion and Heroic tiers, then yes. If you mean does he ever fly around on the power of his sheer will, burping lightning bolts at his enemies... sorry, no. Read a different story for that level of powerful.

    Haha, ChatGPT. I'd spend longer explaining to the poor AI how I write than it would be to just write. And getting it to write in different styles based on mood? No, thank you. I'll keep doing this the manual way, thank you.

    Yes, I mean that. Morons. Dolts. Imbiciles. Not people just unused to Systems, but people who didn't understand the concepts. I mean, unless, somewhere out there, there was a world without.

    My advice is work from the center outward. I began this with only a few chapters planned. My advice is don't be afraid to make mistakes. I mean, don't set out to make them, but don't let fear of them stop you. If you feel the urge to create, then create.

    System images are like camera pictures stored in the System. He hasn't unlocked anything like 3D or enhanced color scheme, but he has unlocked basic color "eye snapshots".

    I swept my eyes over the assembled army again, wishing I'd paid the thirty development points for [System Images]. "They do hate me, at least that's consistent."

    Holy cripes! It's been too long; I'll need to re-read those chapters and figure out what happened to Wicker Flicker. I thought he left, although checking my notes there isn't a word about that.

    "Brothers of fire, cousins in flame," I chanted. "It is I, Rhishisikk, who have converted hundreds of wood mana to enable your users in the Daurian Prison Island Revolt. Hear my plea, and please grant my request. Fashion for me a curtain made of charred air. Wall of Smoke!"

    Yeah, I have the outline, and the number of times he infiltrates the hobgoblin army has me confused. His loyalties are with the Tidelands, although he has gone deep enough undercover that he's made friends among the enemy. Once the war ends, he's going to have to deal with that.

    "Come on." Pale Ram said. "Hobgoblins aren't going to kill themselves. Quota tonight is thirty."

    Webnovel does allow us to do comics based on our webnovels. I currently lack someone to actually do the graphical part; Webnovel doesn't like the idea of AI-made comics. Not expecting to ever find anyone with the skills; not for what little bit of readership I have.

    "How?" Malgaunt asked. And to his guards. "We are reviewing knots for a week after this."

    They're native to a jungle continent southwest of Furdia. It's where the sentient panthers come from, as well as were-jaguars. I don't think I've decided on a name for that place, though.

    Yuck. How boring would THAT be to read? And then, by the power of my raw chi, I gazed at the enemy with the Eyes of Doom, and all of them other than the god fell dead in the courtyard. One god? I could take him. Too many characters like that exist in fiction; challenging things should be challenging.

    I recently caught COVID. It must be some kind of weakened strain, or the vaccines actually work. I was out for three days, and other than a cough (and the need to self-isolate at home, because I don't want to infect others) I really can't complain. I've gotten off lightly on an infection that has killed so many. I guess it's just proof that we're on the downside of this pandemic. Even so, nothing like what Rhishi goes through on a weekly basis.

    The itch in his jaw WAS a place that was mal-formed originally, but has become a psychological hang up. It's been fine for years, but his unconscious mind believes it's still damaged.

    I scratched at that itchy spot at the right side of my jaw. "Nogar, War Leader." And then in each language, "It is time to work together, not argue about..."

    It's easy to write for Rhishi's scattered brain; honestly, I've found it hard to get just the right amount of "still distracted" since he's improved that.

    Not his intention, but he said many things to her just to hurt her. I think it's a very dark moment when he offers to let her live as his servant, given how much abuse he himself has suffered in that status. BUT - I'm telling the story from his viewpoint, so I don't think I've done that point justice.

    The divisor affects all experience and experience equivalents, such as cultivation. Path of the Polymath affects the divisor of cultivation as though for the most appropriate class. So, it's super rare for Rhishi to get more than one experience from any single thing, and he takes notice when it happens.

    Again, this is my fault; there are no streams. Yes, there is water, but Rhishi lacks the desert lore to find it. Thus his other plan, to either take it from the gnolls or from the humans who lack scent and night vision. Was his plan DUMB? Not as such, but yeah, it clearly wasn't a GOOD plan, either.

    Nah, he's just trying to be intimidating, and doesn't realize the sheer scale of things Rhishi's already been through.

    Non-Titanspawn proteans exist, some have access to Omnivore cultivation method and the adaptions and evolutions it provides. Some have access to shape-changing methods that make the main character look shameful. Also, non-Protean Titanspawn exist.

    Health is tied to Might and the sub-stat Health. He also gets "cheater's bonus" from some of his evolutions - at rating eight, he's got more health than anything his size has a right to claim. He'll be back down to 120 soon, because his System will start selling those evolutions off at half cost to get the biomass to survive. But, yeah. He's been focusing on survival to the point that it's more than deformed.
