@@dannyzero692 the story and setting is pretty tame compared to the average wuxia novel/manga. there's tamer ones, but there's also extremely fucking wild ones.
@@dannyzero692 They time skip a lot with "The MC meditated on the nature of such and such for millions of years", but yes, throwing themselves into deep space is in the lower bracket of outlandish things.
Honestly, in spite of all the weird Chinese esoteric insanity that this game has, it’s “true ending” actually made me super intrigued with the premise. The idea that, throughout the entire game, you’re wondering how completely batshit everything is, and the game basically says, “Yeah. Weird how that’s possible, isn’t it…?” The revelation that you’re basically trapped inside the dream of an enlightened deity is somehow extremely brilliant and unexpected.
I know that there is so much to this game but if you read wuxia novels this wouldn't be strange at all and as an avid wuxia readers I highly highly recommend you guys NOT to read any wuxia novels. There is like 3000 chapters for each title and you need like one month to finish just one book. Well anyway it's nice to see you guys having mindfucked by the absurdity of this game. It is fun but a huge time sink just like reading wuxia novels. Thanks for the reaction
3000 chapters, but only the first 500 are any good, and you are only continuing to read because you have stockholm syndrome (And are addicted to face slaps, verbal and literal) - Guess what novel I'm talking about? Spoiler, its way too many of them.
@@DEATHBYFIRE09 You're way too generous with that 500 mark. Usually even the best xianxia stories fall apart and get stuck in a perpetual loop after just two hundred chapters.
@@DEATHBYFIRE09 that’s why I usually just read ones about kingdom building, making stuff or introducing modern tech into fantasy worlds. These specific tags are usually a lot more well put together.
As a reader of wuxia Manhua, trust me when I say, the game actually makes more sense the more open minded you are. Don't think too harf on it, just simplify the very top of the pyramid of info and it'll go smoother the longer you play it.
Exhausting is right. Out of all his videos, this is one with a unique amount of information overload. I will never play it, but was still enjoyable to watch lol
Around 27:00 With the sentient thing in Wuxi a novel, (I’m using emperor’s Domination as a basis) objects mostly plants and animals (not really walls, at least haven’t read one where that happens stones yes walls no) are nourished by the natures Qi, if they are natured long enough or helped by people they can gain sentience. They then often follow the cultivation process of humans and look human, if they take there original form like a tree ore animal form they are closer to nature and can cultivate faster or are stronger. They take human form because in simpler terms are more intelligent in that form and comprehend things faster.
If you liked Beware of Chicken, but want to branch into something more "traditional" while still having a similar sense of rationality and a protag who's still a decent human being, I recommend Ave Xia Rem Y. Its pretty good and isn't as boring and annoying as the more "classic" stories like Coiling Dragon.
Sadly, it does not and never will have an end, because the author is highly anti-authoritarian, so the CCP got pissed off and forced him to abandon the novel. Honestly, i love China, but i hate its current government. I believe any country can better express its unique culture without the shackles of a tyrannical government. The CCP is a party of complete tyrants and i hope it will not be long before they are toppled and replaced with a government that removes the shackles of censorship from its people.
Honestly it looks intimidating but I get into this game after sseth’s video and it is not that hard to understand surviving is easy mode on this game in comparison to Rimworld it’s all in the cultivation
I'm delighted by the number of fellow Wuxia/Xianxia enjoyers down here. I was watching this like "yeah, simple, makes perfect sense", but I can imagine the ruin this video brought to the brains of anyone unfamiliar. It's pretty much a speedrun for your first Chinese novel experience. You'd be destroyed by names alone😅
Im convinced this game was made as satire to mock chinese culture by just adding every superstition they hold and making it all as accurate as possible. Essentially the reality is funnier than any fiction they could make.
Honestly if you read enough Wuxia novel, this game is not even half of the insanity
Holy mother of god it get's worse with the insanity?
@@dannyzero692 the story and setting is pretty tame compared to the average wuxia novel/manga.
there's tamer ones, but there's also extremely fucking wild ones.
@@dannyzero692 there are novels where the total duration of the novel ends up being like 5 quintillion years
@@Nargeon good lord did they quelled themselves into deep space or something?

Not really. That's actually pretty tame or even cliche in Wuxia novels.
The most important part of the ending is that it’s telling you to go outside and cultivate for real this time
i know its a year late, but the second game (amazing cultivation simulator 2) will take place in the real world and will also be 3d.
"Chinese Martial Arts"
**shows Steven Seagal**
lmao I love you Sseth

I find the ones that focus on romance and have the MC as female are shorter and have better endings (comparatively) XD

Never try and get hooked by Tales of Demons and Gods. The Author updates 1 chapter per month if he's generous enough.
I mean considering wuxia novels, this game isn't that surprising.
Honestly pretty tame compared to some of the shit I've seen in xianxia novels. Much less... sex with dubious consent, too.
@@DEATHBYFIRE09 Sex with dubious consent sounds based

As a fan of wuxia novels this game actually kind of makes sense lmfao
are you okay? Too much Wuxia is bad for your common sense and speaking habits

Loll yeah it wasnt overwhelming at all

This makes me want to continue to read the Poppy War books, it’s not Wuxia but Fantasy China is just built different
This game is just pure insanity and I love it.
great job guys, love the reactions!
I'm starting to think they are not actors from the city of Chicago.
How did you guess?
@@ChicagoReacts you wouldn't get it.
i noticed how there are like only 10% reactions here and the rest is just them staring into the void. Are they bored?
It seemed like they were just overwhelmed.
I'm amazed that you guys lasted to the 30 minute mark before losing it over the insanity of the game's complexity.
They're probably going to love godhand also by him
as weird as it may look to outsiders that game actually makes a lot of sense to people that read wuxia/xianxia/xuanhuan
I mean my only exposure to wuxia novels is beware of chicken and from what I've heard I'm glad
Beware of chicken is pretty much the anti-wuxia wuxia book. Or maybe the Martin Luther of wuxia books if you will.
If you liked Beware of Chicken, but want to branch into something more "traditional" while still having a similar sense of rationality and a protag who's still a decent human being, I recommend Ave Xia Rem Y. Its pretty good and isn't as boring and annoying as the more "classic" stories like Coiling Dragon.
Sseths bloons td6 video is fking awesome in case you wanna react to that
His editing kicked into overdrive for that one there’s like a thousand one frame jokes
@@DrGandW true^^
11:51 - 12:44 my mind is still processing this is worse then endless space
The only Wuxia/Xianxia novel i consider to be a masterpiece is Reverend Insanity, i recomend.

I have played the tutorial, it's like 30 chapters dude wtf, one entire afternoon
i would like to pick up this game for so long but i just don't have the time to learn everything.
Hey sseth
Great!
I got this game and got a pet dog, I named him Amber Heard because he kept shitting on the bed-
Im convinced this game was made as satire to mock chinese culture by just adding every superstition they hold and making it all as accurate as possible. Essentially the reality is funnier than any fiction they could make.
It's actually the opposite. Xianxia and Wuxia novels (The chinese genre's that inspired this game) actually get much wilder than this game.
@@danielalorbi He's not talking about the novels and its true that this game and wuxia novels are made to mock the Chinese culture.
Evenicle by our main cash hoarding Guild leader Sseth. Please watch it. :)
why do people request this one
there's 0 chance of it happening
No

Could you put in time stamps so we easly can skip the intro or just don't do them anymore
