verdant is 90% of what i had in mind with my suggestion (though rake fumbled the name a bit in my opinion), stone-titan is about 60% what i had in mind when suggesting it, celestial is 20% what i had in mind and only sort-of resembles what i suggested but it's still close enough to see the resemblance, and talismanic is about 70% what i suggested

Well I'd say Space Opera Bodyguard is more interesting than Cataclysmic Cultivation. Though I do like the shifts in theme that Cataclysmic Cultivation has from standard cultivation stuff. Besides that I do think Rake does a good job with art style and writing. Still though, a fucking leaf.

I don't keep track of version numbers, but the final version has possible outcomes with the various goddesses. However it cut the "bad ending" section, as it was redundant and confusing people.

Most of the image galleries (like Imgur) showed older, outdated versions. I haven't checked recently, so I don't know if that's still true.

(Why are you asking here, by the way. The /trash thread could just post it for you.)

Too many points.
It would've been better if martial only builds could have existed organically, but no, everyone has crazy magical powers because everyone has way too many points.
It should be called Your Own Adventure, because the choices that enable build diversity are non-existent.

For once this is mostly what I would actually pick if I (me) were inserted into the setting. I will live a simple agrarian life, practice alchemy. and build a cult/school to collaborate with until there's a reason to come into conflict with other cultivators, when hopefully I and my allies will be in a much stronger position

I've liked most of what I've seen from him a lot. Neolithic Messiah and Wasteland Scion both evoked classic CYOAs in a way that didn't feel too derivative. Realizing that spurred me to finally play this cultivation slop. my opinion on the genre has not changed but this is the most tolerable of them as far as I know

Massive faggot who makes word of God declarations on discord to random Anon autismos just to try and defend his shitty writing. Everyone knows Vermillion sucks and is trash but he thinks just saying each method is equal actually makes them equal when the cultivation method differs. If you can't get tech for your machine build, you can't cultivate. If you can't take power from enemies worth thieving their power from through the art of murder via Vermillion, then you can't cultivate at the same speed. But this retarded little faggot author Rake thinks that just because he SAYS "t-they're equal though!" that it ignores his shitty writing. Post-hoc declarations on dickscord is retarded.

Also CC is SHIT, he added a million drawbacks which aren't actually drawbacks so every idiot takes 10 drawbacks so they grab 3 grand inheritances and a ton of other goodies. Fucking stupid. There's no tension, it's too easy, the methods are SHIT, and I fucking hate that faggot ass pussy mouth breathing idiot. FUCK YOU RAKE

Yes. You are cultivating demonic power. I haven't read it in a while, but I think it's 50 years on an average world to generate 1 point of power (some worlds are faster for more risk). That is cultivation coded enough for me to consider it the grandfather of cultivation CYOA (and superior to CCslop in every way).

>Thread Question: Are people more a product of nature or nurture?
Solved issue. This is scientific question, there are methods to separate the two like twin studies and adoption studies, they all show that for almost all stats genetics is much more important than shared environment (which includes parenting and family wealth). Genetically identical twins raised in different families have high correlation for most mental traits, especially intelligence, genetically unrelated adults who were raised in same family have very low correlation, almost like complete strangers.
If you adopt a kid, he/she will grow up closer to biological parents than adopted parents on most stats. Parenting actually is less important than normies think. If you want intelligent kid, number one thing is to conceive it from intelligent partner (number two is abort and try again if you detected a condition like Down syndrome). Even leftist and/or rich countries can't solve "bad schools", because quality of school is mostly selection, comes from quality of kids (which is mostly genetics).

> look, this Marxist professor says it's pseudoscience and deboonks it
Looking at "debates" about the topic, I noticed Western leftists really hate it and seethe about it. And yet they have zero interest in separating nature and nurture themselves, they usually just declare it's all about family wealth and education spending because they said so and everybody who disagrees is a fascist eugenist. They could deboonk it by rich leftists adopting kids from low IQ parents and raising them into geniuses - how it works according to the left - but it never happens (raising geniuses part, not adopting part).

The only one I'll give you a point on is that it's lacking meridians. However, I never said it was a proper 1-to-1 cultivation setup. I was simply defending it as a predecessor or ancestor that all upstart cultivation CYOA must bend the knee to out of respect. You will submit to the ancient prophet Anduin the forefather who was amongst the first to break into the True World Shattering Realm.

I kinda half agree with what >>96961034 said. Rake overdoses his cyoas with wish fulfilment to the detriment of all else, every build you make ends up being bloated from how much stuff it shoves down your throat. He also heavily relies on WOG, which isn't a problem in of itself, but it becomes annoying when fags start citing random things he said somewhere on discord that clash with was told in the actual cyoa. He lacks a spine as an author and lets himself get creatively raped in a futile attempt to make everyone happy.
My favourite cyoa of his, Neolithic Messiah, is great precisely because it doesn't baby you and lets you know there are actual high stakes.

With some innovative racial caricature using holograms, their satires of the enemy are particularly popular on both fronts. The mobile base serves as dressing room, stage, and market center - they do a little dealing on the side

>If you can't take power from enemies worth thieving their power from through the art of murder via Vermillion, then you can't cultivate at the same speed.
I'm still confused how this is a mark against VV. The CC setting is explicitly teaming with all sorts RE mutated creatures, from animals turned into monsters to fallen cultivators to various undead that steadily mutate into more threatening forms if not culled. Those are higher power but lower skill opponents that are perfect fodder for VV, no post hoc-writing needed, you just have to have a decent reading level and a bit of creativity. Though the undead numbers drop off once you leave Earth certain other worlds are teaming with beasties to kill, places like the world the Hunting Grounds treasure leads to is filled with nasty critters to pad your kill count once you get stronger.
It's just a high risk, high reward Method where you have to put yourself in harms way on a regular basis but can advance quickly. And it actually synergizes Machine if you do it that way because hunting RE mutated creatures also happens to be a great method for gathering materials.

Bloodsweep Chalice
There's very obvious synergy between two bloodline based systems. Even if people/beasts want to kill me, as long as I can press some Dragons into my service what can they do?
> Fate
Open The Heavens
Seemingly it's the one thing that lets me go anywhere I want, useful since apparently if you get too strong the other gateway stops working for you. Bloodsweep Chalice lets me cultivate much faster so I should be able to use the technqiues much more often, in fact that's why I went the bloodline route in the first place.

My appearance is that of a handsome but chill guy, eyes always half-closed in contemplation and a subtle smile on his lips.

Just sightseeing is all, it doesn't look like your typical xianxia land, considering the high tech and nipponese culture. Fascinating.
>Cultivation Methods - Fissure Spirit Arts & Dreamworld Sutra.
Like a tall immovable mountain, feet rooted deep into the earth while piercing heaven with its head, happy amongst the clouds. Next to the Earth Dao, I'll probably focus on the Dao of Man, or Heart, or something along those lines, something "human".

Crown of eyes specialisation, ending fights without lifting a single finger. Also preparing for the spiritual collision against the Gatekeeper of the World.

Nah I'd Reach Nirvana, but not before the obligatory villainess redemption arc Buddhist trope. Wu Liling just needs a warm hug, I'm sure. Together we will ascend to a better, brighter place.
