What rarity is Deepest Edge?

Justin

And this is where I bow out. Thanks for the ride, maybe I'll catch up for free on RR. Its always a 50/50 chance with OP MC stories that this happens. We accept from chapter one that the MC has a ridiculous machina that will allow them to cheat and progress more than everyone else in the story, that it will even be silly on occassion. We make peace with that. But when the author can't figure out a way to keep side characters relevant they just start boosting them in the exact same way as the MC, without the completely-broken-system-bestowed skill/feat/title the MC has. Adam and Uva are now not just keeping pace with Shiv but catching up to him in the most trite ways possible. Its essentially just gotten too silly now. Thanks for the run, best of luck all.

The entire point is that the system rewards strife and struggle. The side characters are now in the *same* fights as the MC, and his biomancy keeps them alive through things that would kill anyone but him. But they still have to be willing to go through that pain, and in Adam's case now, die and get back up.

Shiv doesn’t have a monopoly on advancement. He’s still advancing faster than them. His “cheat” is impossible to replicate. I don’t know what you thought that characters who have been in adept for ages won’t advance with the amount of strife they have been through. Shiv main thing is not dying. Everything thing else everyone can do.

Shiv has been a Pathbearer for less than a month, and has a Unique Skill and Feat, a Legendary Skill, 5 Master Skills and a Master Feat. Uva and Adam have been Pathbearers for years, during which they have participated in active combat in Uva's case, and both have received excellent educations. Despite this time spent, and their obvious talent that has been repeatedly remarked upon, they have not advanced explosively because of a lack of true challenges and strife. Now that they have been tested so thoroughly, been pushed to limits of mind, body and soul, and been plunged headfirst into the System's deadly conflicts, that talent and effort has finally born fruit. They've been set up from their introductions for this and every conflict they've had has made it obvious they are special in their own right, and despite this they are still categorically weaker than Shiv. When Adam and Uva were faced with 2 dragons they folded like wet paper. Shiv, by contrast, against a group of six managed to kill one due to his Unique and Legendary skills. Given time he'd eventually work his way through the whole group, they simply have no way to stop him. Basically, I think your opinion has no basis in reality. Giving side characters random power ups to help them keep pace with the MC is annoying, but this very much isn't an example of that. The System rewards those conflict and they are currently drowning it. Explosive growth in the natural consequence of this.
