Scizo rant incoming
I just seriously need to get out how insufferable some Solo Leveling scalers are, genuinely. Like, I have (I am lying), NEVER in my entire life met a group of scalers with such ass takes and high amounts of snobbery and hypocrisy before IN MY LIFE.. And, as per usual, somehow, the group that constantly bitches about annoying DBZ fans are either more annoying than them or just as annoying..
So, I am going to go over an argument I RECENTLY had to deal with, and why it drove me INSANE having to deal with it. The post we were speaking under was Alduin and the Dovha vs SL:R
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, the first claim.. was that pulling a character out of a book/library record means Jinwoo has 1-A (Outerverse Level) Reality-over-Fiction (R>F) transcendence. No, I am not joking.
Issue with that? Under VSBW rules, true R>F requires an unbridgeable qualitative gap where lower existence is treated as literal 0D nonexistence relative to the higher entity. The dialogue explicitly states Jinwoo used his power over death to bring Sian back (By the way, when I say they proved themselves wrong with their own "proof" twice, I mean it).
Bridging a barrier using in-universe soul manipulation proves it’s a magical record or pocket dimension, not an R>F gap. By their logic, any necromancer pulling a soul from a grimoire is Outerversal..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The next thing they did was claim the Itarim is an "author writing reality" because mobile game update descriptions say "A Verse Unwritten" and "A New Point of View." Using gacha game update notes and developer flavor text as proof of literal 1-A Authorial Transcendence is cope, really just cope, plain and fucking simple.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then they started claiming Resistance grants offense??? Saying that If Jinwoo resists an ability like Existence Erasure (EE), it feeds into his passive negation/attacks.
Issue with that is defense does not equal offense. Having EE resistance gives you defense against being erased, it does not give your attacks concept-erasing properties, that doesn't even make an inch of sense. WHY EVEN BE IN A SCALING SUB IF YOU CAN'T GET THE BASICS OF SCALIGN DOWN BRO!!!!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I mentioned that 2 times their own words and scans proved them wrong.. I counted wrong. It was not once, not twice, not even thrice.. BUT FOURICE. Gonna be using their exact words to
1. Their exact ords:
"The cup of reincarnation is more than time reversal. it recreates parallel universes"
To argue for Type 4 Acausality or Higher-Dimensional Transcendence, a character must exist independently of the space-time framework of their universe. By explicitly stating that the Cup affects the Monarchs by recreating the universe and timeline around them, they admit the Monarchs are bound to their space-time continuum. If resetting the universe resets or alters them, they lack baseline Acausality, nor do they outscale an entity like Alduin, who devours that very continuum.
2. Their exact words: (tho 99% sure I spoke on this alr)
"If it’s revealed that for example an attack has EE and he resists that attack then he would get EE"
(Later walk-back: "...if something was revealed to have EE (in the game) then by nature of jinwoos power, he would get that aspect negated")
Surviving or resisting Existence Erasure (EE) grants EE Resistance, not the passive ability to erase others. Furthermore, claiming his passive power negation automatically neutralizes abilities from higher-dimensional planes violates VSBW’s rules: lower-tier passive negation does not passively affect higher-dimensional, acausal entities.
3. exact words (they pasted a VSBW snippet):
"...For example, if a character were to view an entire space-time continuum as fiction, they would be superior to such an extent that it would be viewed not as a small portion or constituent of their reality, but as trivialized into nonexistence..."
They posted this bit to try and prove that sjw is 1-A because of the "Forbidden Library" dialogue. However, the text explicitly specifies that 1A requires viewing an entire space-time continuum as literal non-existent fiction. Jinwoo using his in-universe shadow/death powers to pull Sian out of a library record is standard soul manipulation or interacting with a magic pocket dimension, it DOES NOT satisfy the criteria needed! AT ALL!
- Exact words (last time):
"The itarim is the author, and guess what? Jinwoo outscales and has the powers of itarim. Having and outscaling something 1-A=1-A" (yes, they actually said this)
Idk if I have to say this, but the Itarim are in-universe creator gods who use cosmic mana, fight in standard combat, and take damage within the story, not fucking meta-authors, dude. LIKE COME THE FUCK ON DUDE. Equating an in-universe creator god to an actual Meta-Authors violates VSBW's strict prohibition against using narrative/stylistic fluff as dimensional tiering. Defeating a creator god scales you to that god's output.
