YeahCan we please focus on the tiering instead of derailing the thread
And honestly even if this CRT is accepted. The only one who becomes Tier 0 (even just baseline) is MC (and no one will scale to him), the rest are tier 2 and the highest is 1-A (And if there is any profile for High-1A, there can only be one because at least he has a prominent name and role.)Okay? That doesn't mean we have to index them, especially if they start writing stuff that is reminiscent of suggsverse. Once again, if you were to remove the powerwank aspects of suggsverse and hybrid mage, they are also just normal series with a decent-sized following. We choose not to index them because they have such outrageous, power-scale focused aspects.
By that logic we can delete every single verse that was worked on by a mathematician such as SRE and Manifold, along with other works such as Xeelee Sequence because it was worked on by baxter, maybe we should delete homestuck since it also goes off the deep end with statements of omnipotent and omniscientOkay?

bro sre, manifold, homestuck, etc are all classicsBy that logic we can delete every single verse that was worked on by a mathematician such as SRE and Manifold, along with other works such as Xeelee Sequence because it was worked on by baxter, maybe we should delete homestuck since it also goes off the deep end with statements of omnipotent and omniscient
"2 free chapters every 23hrs"As for how the rest of the series is written, it is a typical Xuanhuan which predates the internet much less battleboarding. You are welcome to message me to read it properly, or you're welcome to read Sage Monarch (another work of the author)
This is the translator Paywall lol."2 free chapters every 23hrs"
shows how the author barely puts in any effort

wtfThis is the translator Paywall lol.
Not the Author.
I linked the western official translation site. You are free to use other free sites, there are dozens of them. Their monetization scheme isn't for me to comment on."2 free chapters every 23hrs"

you are right it deserves higher...tbh dkd doesn’t deserve the rating it has, but there’s a discussion rule banning dkd downgrade threads.
I would personally much prefer to forbid all of them from being featured in our wiki, to not have it completely spammed by power-mad psychopathic drivel writing (cough SCP cough).Why does the author being "notable" excuse the fact that this is some of the most blatant power obsessed wankfest writing I've ever seen? Like, it doesn't even try to hide it.
I don't know how people can seriously defend this kind of work being on VSBW, yet be so vehemently against things like Suggsverse and Hybrid Mage at the same time. The only difference at this point is that those are made by people who are confirmed to be involved in powerscaling.
The quality of writing and intent behind these powerscaling-esque concepts is no different.
Either allow everything, or these kinds of verses should be put in the same group as Suggsverse in terms of how we treat them.
I think Ant is quite right about the author, since Enternal Life the author has been power-mad psychopathic, He always tries to write the most powerful, most amazing thing, using apophathic theology and creating terms New about transcendence and nothingness like Anulled is when it is translated into eng, but the Chinese word is a completely new word that is not in the dictionary. However, comparing the Divine Dreamwever to the suggverse, hyb magic is an insult. He may have been power-mad psychopathic since he became an elite, but before he was also a very famous and talented author when he wrote many good works that had tens of millions of fans. He's not some crappy author who writes Novels just to power scale. His ideas conveyed in the novels can be criticized but to put him in comparison to the power scale novels is stupid and insulting.I would personally much prefer to forbid all of them from being featured in our wiki, to not have it completely spammed by power-mad psychopathic drivel writing (cough SCP cough).
Are you going to apply this to all the verses that come from China? If that's the case then fine, make a separate thread about it, as long as it's not just targeting this verse directlyI would personally much prefer to forbid all of them from being featured in our wiki, to not have it completely spammed by power-mad psychopathic drivel writing (cough SCP cough).

Cut it off, buddy. Ant won't listen to what you say. What's to blame is my mistake upgrading this to Tier 0/High-1A based on Ultima's answer on discord if it's 2-A like now nothing will happen. The Dao of hypocrisy and racist exists in many forms, just look at things like ID, Maou Gakuin, Awlba, Shallow's verse... they are welcome, supported despite the wankfest writing they possess. But it is not for Chinese verses (Social Credit has fallen to the negative infinity) even if the author is a literal billionaire and has decades of experience in writing, "Tolkien" of Chinese online literature,..Actually, 1-7xx chapter DT novel is quite good when it is a game of thrones but has a terrible scale of power. <(“) The author let it go too far out of control to become what it is now, but at first it was a political struggle for the throne in a great dynasty. The novel title Dragon talisman also shows that. When Dragon in Chinese culture represents the emperor, Dragon Talisman I remember it as a treasure that helps people become Emperor.
It sounds like Ant hates Chinamen <(“)Cut it off, buddy. Ant won't listen to what you say.

Maybe the moral standards and writing quality are different, more pleasing to the taste. But instead of being treated as equals, they are trampled on like Suggsverse, SCP, Hybrid Mage (and literally nothing in common between them. SCP is wrong because it has many writers and there is nothing to completely stop a powerscaler participated, but why should this apply to works with only one author, the country's millionaire and billionaire?)
Tldr: Let time tell, if Ultima or any staffs don't really care about Tier of the verse in the next few days then please close this thread. I don't want my thread to be filled with these slanderous (and racist) comments
Blame CCP.It sounds like Ant hates Chinamen <(“)

The author himself, after finishing this book.I hope to rediscover my passion and express my ideas through my new book. Without saying too much, having written for ten years, I've experienced a lot - the good, the bad, the sweet, and the bitter. I've encountered all sorts of people, some kind and some evil, some helpful and some harmful. Some have offered a helping hand while others have kicked me when I was down. Some have stood by me through thick and thin, while others have watched from a distance. Many friends have come and gone, and only a few remain. Even the book enthusiasts who were with me in the past have scattered to the winds. Such is life - how many people can we truly count on for a decade? As time passes, we begin to realize that many things we once thought were important no longer hold the same weight. As the Orchid Pavilion Preface suggests, things we used to love have become mere relics of the past. After ten years of reflection, perhaps the flavor of my new book has changed, and I welcome you to read it and enjoy it at your leisure. Praise or criticism, both are welcome, for they are friends, visitors, and fate. Fate brings people together and also tears them apart. If you find my book good, please come and stay, but if you don't, please leave. My thoughts are ever-changing and unpredictable, so go with the flow.
从远处看上去,这尊巨头的身躯周围,全部是海洋波涛,这海洋波涛中的每一滴水珠,都是一个宇宙,其中更有无数的生灵,这些生灵都有自己的想法,逐渐形成了很多信仰和世界观,这些都是真实的生灵. From a distance, it looks like this giant's body is surrounded by ocean waves, and every drop of water in these ocean waves is a universe, in which there are even countless living beings, all of which have their own ideas and gradually form many beliefs and worldviews, which are all real living beings.
It can be seen that the earthly realm is now an ocean of universes, and each universe is just a drop of water in the ocean relative to the earthly realm. 可以看得出来,现在人间界就是一片宇宙的海洋,每个宇宙相对于人间界来说,就是海洋中的一滴水而已。
If they were literally drops of water, then there wouldn't be any grounds to use them in this CRT. It is simply that each drop was a bubble like hence its description (看上去 almost ocean like). I am not sure what your point is with the second quote, which is describing the array of universes of the Mortal Realm which has been accepted as 2-A.I still don't see how the ocean is 1b. I don't think the author is being literal about every drop of water is a universe.
Isn't it more like a way to describe how small all the universes look rather then them actually being drops of water? As 看上去 is normally used for what it looks like rather than what it actually is. Also in chapter 1036 the Author does the same thing:
If they were literally drops of water, then there wouldn't be any grounds to use them in this CRT. It is simply that each drop was a bubble like hence its description (看上去 almost ocean like). I am not sure what your point is with the second quote, which is describing the array of universes of the Mortal Realm which has been accepted as 2-A.
it is containing something infinite in scope within a finite object (a drop of water in this case)
But if the 'drop of water' bit is just a metaphorical comparison. Then it's just universes containing universes instead of universes containing finite universes the size of water droplets.Every drop of water in this ocean is a universe, and there is a universe inside the universe, one loop after another.
Well bruh... even if it literal, still not 1B structure. Because with the feats, just cosmic sea that dwarf the universe to the size of drop of waterI still don't see how the ocean is 1b. I don't think the author is
Ha ha ha ha......" The giant who created the cosmic ocean laughed: "Without the limitation of lifespan and the control of the virtual panel, I can express my power endlessly, and finally I have completed my own thoughts. I created my own cosmic sea. Every drop of water in this ocean is a universe, and there is a universe inside the universe, one loop after another. I think the universe has no secrets for me now. My power can be improved endlessly because the power of my mind is infinite, and in the universes I created, the power of every creature is also infinite. Many infinities plus infinities, and the power is indescribable“ Chapter 1147
You've misunderstood, if they were literal drops of water then any claim of space-time is debunk. So you should stop saying they're literal drops of water. The claim is regarding the description of the structure.I think the claim is that they're literal drops of water, with each drop containing a universe. As in the original post it says:
What is true is the structure description, metaphorical or not. Also you used the mortal verse as an argument for this, despite the fact that it is 2-A and larger than 2-A later in the novel.But it's not actually a drop of water, it's just how the author describes how small the universes look. That's the reason for my second quote, to show he's used the comparison before and wasn't literal.
If it's not literal I don't get how it's a 1b structure. The whole things relies on this bit:
But if the 'drop of water' bit is just a metaphorical comparison. Then it's just universes containing universes instead of universes containing finite universes the size of water droplets.
This is from the description on the discord that they sent Ultima:You've misunderstood, if they were literal drops of water then any claim of space-time is debunk. So you should stop saying they're literal drops of water. The claim is regarding the description of the structure.
they are contained in either flowers or drops of water, with the worlds inside those flowers/drops of water also still containing worlds within flowers of droplets of water, repeat forever
Also you used the mortal verse as an argument for this, despite the fact that it is 2-A and larger than 2-A later in the novel.
How? If universes were contained in water droplets (yes they are claiming that), then it would be a infinite contained in finite. But if it's a metaphor then we don't know what the size difference is between each layer. Just that the next layer makes the current look like the size of water droplet.What is true is the structure description, metaphorical or not.
For infinitely loop and finite objects.I think the claim is that they're literal drops of water, with each drop containing a universe. As in the original post it says:
But it's not actually a drop of water, it's just how the author describes small universes. That's the reason for my second quote, to show he's used the comparison before and wasn't literal.
If it's not literal I don't get how it's a 1b structure. The whole things relies on this bit:
But if the 'drop of water' bit is just a metaphorical comparison. Then it's just universes containing universes instead of universes containing finite universes the size of water droplets.
If hierarchal layers of dimensions stacking up-to 9D were described to have a pancake like structure...because it isn't literally pancakes, would that mean 9D is debunk?This is from the description on the discord that they sent Ultima:
The claim is the universe is contained in literal drops of water. If it was, it would be something infinite in scope contained in a finite object.
It doesn't matter what the size of the mortal verse is. I wasn't commenting on that, just showing that the author uses 'drops of water' as a metaphor multiple times.
How? If universes were contained in water droplets (yes they are claiming that), then it would be a infinite contained in finite. But if it's a metaphor then we don't know what the size difference is between each layer is. Just that the next layer makes the current look like the size of water a droplet.
why the hell am I catching strays in Tier 0 threads manGuess I will do a Bambu and simply continue to ignore these opinions (as I've done till now) and continue with my day while being less active.
Do you know what a psychopath is? Do you know what someone exuding psychopathic qualities looks like? Based off this and some of your past comments, I kind of doubt it. Please keep your personal biases out of this.I would personally much prefer to forbid all of them from being featured in our wiki, to not have it completely spammed by power-mad psychopathic drivel writing (cough SCP cough).
Tier 0 is contested. Right now the tiers that have accpeted by 1 staff is 1A to High 1Awhy the hell am I catching strays in Tier 0 threads man
Last note, the thread was evaluated, and accepted by different members of the website be it normal users, or staff members, the CRT has been on for a long time and no one else commented but bumping in the hope that somehow Ultima will comment again (which he didn't and didn't participate for a long time). If you or anyone else have something against the tier, then make actual arguments using the text from the novel to base your arguments or actually construct them to be about the tier and not about its writing, plot, author, notability, etc. Close the thread, apply what has been evaluated and accepted and if you have problems then create a new thread with good arguments and counters.
Only 1 staff agreed while another is neutral. So unfortunately no. There needs to be 2 more vote from staffSo now I can apply this revision to the profile right?
Bruh?Only 1 staff agreed while another is neutral. So unfortunately no. There needs to be 2 more vote from staff
This has been accepted as High-1B by Elizha in the previous thread (and Ultima on discord). For those who don't understand logic here:Only 1 staff agreed while another is neutral. So unfortunately no. There needs to be 2 more vote from staff
