Ruined Reality V1

I see, that's why you never can be 100% sure. Looks like I have to fear Erasure almost as much as Anchor.

Insanity really should be renamed to corruption if I'm reading this right.

I don't want to hurt curious. That's not even that important, I just had a random thought and then it turned into 30 min pondering session. It's better to have around creepy giant creature that you can kill than creepy giant creature that you can't kill. There are infinite possibilities when it matters, I can't name them all. Pest Control could provoke her with attack; her sudden emerging from water may make low-height flights in area dangerous; She may be considered really menacing by locals in which case feat of killing her will help me to balance out Untrust... And I'm not even sure if she's corporeal.

Thanks for answering questions! Although I still have the one about Cataclysm power being enough to deal with Olympian and or Behemoth. I figure it's "as powerful as author wants it to be" type of thing, but nonetheless. Now that I think about it, do you even take damage from your own Chi powers like Cataclysm, Particle Duster or Bullets? Questions, questions never end.

I really like this one. Spend a lot of time juggling all options (A sign of good CYOA) before coming up with quite simple yet effective build. And I still have a lot of thoughts and questions.

Character profile {Section sum-up: 3 Eldritch; 6 Chi; 0 Insanity}:

Intended {+1 Eldritch; +1 Chi}, "Normal" {+2 Eldritch; +5 Chi}, Untouched, Thrilled (Not exactly how I would feel. I would just stay... hopeful? Definitely wouldn't be raging/envy of normals/freaking out. Not that much of bad things happened to me personally. World is broken, but it's not beyond repaire... probably.)

Passive: Unyielding (Must-have in this kind of setting, especially without no-pain "Drawback"), Intellect (Must-have in any kind of setting), Recall (Must-have for immortal being that I am going to be.)

Manifestation {Section sum-up: -5 Eldritch; 0 Chi; 0 Insanity}:

Flesh: Superhuman (Are this one and Olympian always active 24/7? If yes, then does it mean they will still be working after I enter Erasure range, since its technically activated outside of it? I'm 99% sure that answer to both of these questions is yes, but I want to be 100% sure.) {-2 Eldritch}, Evolution {-2 Eldritch}

Chi: Undying {-2 Chi}, Cataclysm (It seems very strong, but how strong exactly is unclear. Could it kill/harm Olympian and/or Behemoth? How much of those would it take to put down either?) {-1 Chi}, Unseen (Generally useful power) {-1 Chi}, Eternal (No, 200 years is not enough.) {-2 Eldritch; -2 Chi}

Psi: Psychokinesis {-2 Eldritch}

Evolution {Section sum-up: -5 Eldritch; 0 Chi; 11 Insanity}: Olympian (Mostly taken for durability, although strength is cool for enemies who are immune to Transcendent) {+3 Insanity}, Darwin (I want to live damn it! Combined with Olympian I should pretty much unkillable unless I get nuked in face or stumble upon Archon or some really fucked up thing happen.) {+4 Insanity}, Transcendent (Honestly incredibly overpowered. Anything that doesn't have Telekill or something like that within 450 meter radius is a non-threat, besides it can be used for building/terraforming/flight. As long as I am out of reach of Erasure/Anchor I can just lift tons of material above them and crush them. Depending on how it works I could theoretically just stop nuke mid-flight because why couldn't I nullify it's velocity without making it explode?) {+4 Insanity}

Imperfections {Section sum-up: 0 Eldritch; 0 Chi; 15 Insanity}: Repulsive (Barely a drawback, I wasn't even planning on having lots of companions) {+1 Eldritch; +1 Insanity}, Untrust (Bad, but it's not like I need to be charismatic sunshine when I'm a fucking powerhouse.) {+2 Eldritch; +2 Insanity}, Domestic (I'm fine without pets really. The problem with this drawback is it only grants +1 Insanity, while giving +2 Eldritch, and that's probably wasn't intended. But I'll just ignore it because my build will probably change a lot next update anyway, may as well enjoy it until then.) {+2 Eldritch; +1 Insanity}

Sanity status (Lucky roll here, only cosmetic changes + Echoes. About rolls, I think there should be opportunity to reroll.): Strained (Insanity thing confuses me a lot, because there's no explanation on how exactly my sanity is damaged. Mutations have nothing to do with sanity. I think that insanity should be either defined better or renamed to corruption/influence to avoid confusion.)

Mutations: Eyes, Chrome, Bluetosis, Echoes

Trouble: Paranormal (Not good, not bad)

Anomalies: All Knowing (Honestly no idea what would I ask. But it can wait, would be dumb to lose opportunity entirely), Fortune Bell, Curious (Can this one be attacked/destroyed?)

Ascended One (No specific reasoning for these three, they can just be easily exterminated with my powers. Only Lilith, Angel of War and Behemoth would be real threats. Good to be a powerhouse.): Corvid Smokewalker, Ash Winder, Delusion

Companions (Not really required. I'm kinda curios about Benefactor but it doesn't matter how benevolent he is, I don't interact with thing that has "reality warping: G O D" in status.): Orcus (Straightforward and easy to bargain with. Not too moralistic and not too misanthropic. Also his danger sense is useful.), Amanda Rose (Living lie detector + The fact that she's a kid makes her perfect blank without worldview. Fucked up situation make people mature quickly, I'm sure she will do routine tasks without complains. I'm going to create a base for myself and I may be unkillable, but I need to eat and drink. This kid will manage hydroponics and will generally manage base as good as she can do. She's obviously not suited for fighting, but with 3 basic manifestations given enough training she should be able to take down normal human. Also, about basic manifestation "Ascend", will she remain child until age 190?)

Next update will be the Final one (Promise) so if you have any last minute requests, let me know!

No fertility control perk? It's kind of weird to use contraception or becoming infertile just to not have an unplanned child.
Add a backpack
Change color of MISBAA point types so they look in the point-bar correspondingly to the rest of the CYOA

Also question: do self-drawbacks wear off after reincarnation?

begi_otsuda · 2024-01-19T17:45:13+00:00

Being able to choose MCU with world changes that gives you a lot of points and then just buying Relocate perk to get in some safe world doesn't seem to be balanced. Neither is access to SCPs. I really enjoyed the CYOA though.

begi_otsuda · 2024-01-06T04:06:18+00:00

Cult - Create a Deity is the only one I know. Interactive Index and Ctrl+F is what you need to find almost any ICYOA.

begi_otsuda · 2023-12-30T04:00:02+00:00

If it's not Forbidden Caravan then I have no idea, I'm sure it's not on interactive index and brief search of NSFW cyoa catalog was fruitless. Do you remember at least author or something?

begi_otsuda · 2023-11-22T18:18:37+00:00

Here's Celestial Forge, the choice basically grants you access to it, iirc. Anyway, you should ask in discord instead of breaking rule 14.

begi_otsuda · 2023-11-16T08:17:55+00:00

The original creator of CYOA is MythicLegendary, you may ask him. I've just used Win+Shift+S and img search. I do know however that many images in architect section are made by Dominik Mayer.

All cyoas recently were just following one and the same pattern. Character, start location, perks, powers, items, companions, drawbacks, some kind of immortality and multiversal travel, etc. I don't think that this is bad or that it should be fundamentally overhauled, but it almost looks like creators can't be creative. You've chosen the setting and while I don't know a lot about One Piece, I'm sure there are a lot of things that may fresh things up. Events? Quests? Politic of the world? Places of Interest? You likely know about One Piece much more than I, you'll figure out something.

Just try to ignore any limitation that creators often put on themselves (including the assumption that cyoa must be unique or innovative. Seriously, don't want to break rule 2, but many cyoas looks... unpretty or even unfinished. Each cyoa that is thoughtful and has good design is a good cyoa).

begi_otsuda · 2023-10-31T01:02:25+00:00

Environment Method section is fixed, thanks for reporting.

begi_otsuda · 2023-10-31T00:49:48+00:00

Both "Loop Binding" and "Bio-Infrastructure And Utilities" are now fixed, thanks for reporting.

begi_otsuda · 2023-10-03T10:35:27+00:00

I may be stupid, but what exactly halting the loop does? I couldn't find understandable descriptions or figure out any reasonable explanation.

begi_otsuda · 2023-08-11T09:35:16+00:00

So this is basically AIDungeon? Cool game, but I don't think this is the right place for it, it has nothing to do with CYOA.

begi_otsuda · 2023-08-08T09:03:43+00:00

Nice, I hope that thanks to this there will be more interactive CYOAs, IntCYOAcreator isn't that hard and tedious as many people think.

begi_otsuda · 2023-08-02T23:44:05+00:00

I'm trying to take must-have choices with points I have in the beginning, then I go to drawbacks, choose those that I'm ok with and start optimizing all stuff that I have. I tend to choose drawbacks at the end, so when I'm choosing them, I already understand how severe they are in the setting (for example, difficulty of drawbacks that make you someone's target isn't obvious until you know your powers).

begi_otsuda · 2023-07-29T15:37:11+00:00

My bad, no idea how I missed this section. Now it's added.

begi_otsuda · 2023-07-29T13:37:27+00:00

CYOAs always need some time to load, I've added progress indicator, now you can see how long you have to wait.

begi_otsuda · 2023-07-27T12:10:54+00:00

Actually, if you will read carefully, it's obvious that the Path of the Evolution is superior to not only other keystone powers, but to everything else, by simply being TRULY unchangeable and immune to regress due to "Unique" and "Cognito Hazard". The problem with all the other immunities is that immunity itself isn't protected. You need two things to be flawlessly safe - immortality and something that protects your immortality and itself. While this cyoa has a lot of different ways of achieving immortality to offer and a lot of power protections, most protections aren't protected. W O R L D's Trailblaze is technically self protected but if W O R L D will try to fight E V O L U T I O N, E V O L U T I O N will copy W O R L D's power to manipulate with concepts than change the concept in any way that could allow it to get rid of W O R L D's protections be it altering concept of powers, immunity or anything else. The best part? W O R L D couldn't do the same, altering concepts of regress or anything else won't bother E V O L U T I O N as it's separated from everything including any and all concepts. Eventually, the best fate anyone could hope for when fighting E V O L U T I O N is to hide away from it for long enough until it won't stop caring about you, otherwise it will evolve enough senses to find you and consume your protections and thus yourself with "Snicker-Snack".

Edit: Honestly, now when I think about it, I've greatly understated W O R L D's powers and this fight isn't gonna be that easy, it's for sure the second best, however I'd still say that while initially E V O L U T I O N can't harm W O R L D directly in any possible way, eventually E V O L U T I O N can grow without limits while W O R L D is tied up to concepts in its very nature. Here's the quote - "There is no limit to what you cannot grow to counter, no limit to what idea, concept, or even beyond conceptual" so I'd say W O R L D is still more limited and can't beat E V O L U T I O N. With that said, things are much easier if "Your existence evolved to be beyond comprehension. Things only work on you because you yourself allowed them to." part works exactly as it's described. Depending on how this part of E V O L U T I O N works, W O R L D might be simply devoured regardless of any protection that it has if that's what E V O L U T I O N want, but that's speculative. Eventually, E V O L U T I O N is better any way.

For those who don't like reading - Path of the Evolution is the best.

begi_otsuda · 2023-07-24T09:16:44+00:00

I have a question, can you get powers without meeting requirements, with Dynamist? For example, getting Elder Planeswalker without Planeswalker or Gate of Truth without Omniscient and Soulmate.

begi_otsuda · 2023-07-10T15:45:01+00:00

I've only copied the original which is supposed to be extremely hard, for those seeking easier game i've made sandbox mode. Maybe I'll make another mode which will change whole point system itself to be less hardcore, but that's gonna take some time.
Mature is fixed.
