No, it would just blur the borders between. Now MOVE ON ALREADY OMFG!

No, lets move the F on already. you are annoying me with how you are just ranting on about the simplest stuff.

Rivers flow from high to low, not a specific direction.

Even then, generally you start from the outside and work your way in, so you can have each stitch have minimal tension whilst also making the next stitch closer together and need less direct force and generally leading to better results. I'm not some super expert about any of this but that's my understanding.

Chapter end early? Or is the author deliberately trying to get himself assassinated?

I would 100 percent at least fire the one that took charge, I'd take the game down, I'd make a public announcement that changes were made to the game without my approval and I will not accept people trying to manipulate my sales without my input. I would make such a huge deal out of it, which would then draw more attention to my company to increase the overall eyes on my projects, leading to faster player peaking which technically is bad because that means you have to front load your server capacity and you'd prefer a steady flow of players but *shrugs* Front loading leads to faster monetary gain so I can move on to the next project ASAP. If the servers crash, it's not a big problem. People expect that these days so many wait for a few days to play.

TRAITORS!

This is a HUGE matter and 100% needs to be talked about in the upper echelons. If the boss doesn't know, you're going to get fired. Even if it turns out well, the best you can get is being isolated and openly treated well but secretly treated badly until you quit. This is unforgivable. Monetisation problems and stuff like that can NOT be touched without consent from the top. You're touching the boss' wallet directly right now.

Worst. Choice. Ever. Get that technique upgrade and then do an independent long lifespan run to increase cultivation. Technique improvements are hard to get so you have to focus on those when you can, cultivation increases both increase cost and are easy to do with just living a long life in secret. Also, your techniques will improve the efficiency of your long life runs. The optimal route is literally to improve your techniques as much as possible, as cheap as possible, get considered a genius, get lots of money because you're a genius to then use on cultivation but you then always start studying all the techniques in real life before always simulating running away to cultivate in isolation to improve your technique without getting into any problems, essentially leading to you getting a crazy amount of time to fully master all the techniques you have available at any given time and the cost of doing so is extremely cheap and also probably just paid for on the spot by whatever force you're supporting. Then, when you can't improve any more in that realm, just move up in cultivation to then do it again. You will always be seen as the very best of your cultivation level so you get good treatment whilst you can always just do a quick cultivation run for a BLAST of power at any given time that you might be in dire need, like if you find out there's a plot against you.

You do not do illogical things to move forward the plot, you think of ways to set up what needs to be set up in a logical way. It's not a valid excuse.

I am really disappointed by this story already.

It's truly absurd how many novels just have warcraft names like Stormwind, Arthas, Sylvanas, Lordaron, Azeroth and Azshara.

The idea of "Weapon and man as one" is about building the instincts and muscle memory so you can perform your moves with minimal effort. And yeah, leveraging and such is a huge deal in both western and eastern styles.

it's not mindblowing, it's rather basic from a story perslective.

I can maybe accept it being at the power of 3-10 supremes as long as it's only limited to the capital city but it can't be stronger than that or your story would break down.

There is no way or they would have a tighter grip on the sects and the sects wouldn't dare give them so much lip.

Then you would have secretly cut off her family's path to power, basically crippling them but leaving them as empty husks, puppets for the commoners to admire. You would slaughter any children of hers, any loyal servants or guards of hers, cripple her cultivation and then still take her along for ceremonies but keeping her locked up when not attending anything important. This reminds his wives and the nobles that he has power and can't be walked all over whilst leaving the commoners in the dark and maintaining the general order of the empire. This is so basic and has been done MANY times in real life so how does the author not think of this? Even if he hated the woman that got killed and deeply loved the empress, what he did signaled to the nobles that they can stomp all over him so they immediately start scheming. Within 2 generations, the empire will fall.

I just really don't find this story to be gripping in any way and it feels too shallow and like story that has already been told thousands of times. I don't know why I keep getting this recommended to me, but I'm really not personally interested in it.

I know, I'm saying that if you are already under anaesthrtic for scar removal, you can easily add tattoo removal too as the anaesthetic is the most expensive part

as cowards, no matter how strong you are, numbers will trump anything, as long as we are talking low-tech or pre-extreme spells.
