[X] They had to cover up your freakish strength after you shattered several doors.
Reading a lot of xianxia makes want to choose a straightforward protagonist for once.
I really liked the fact that Hagrid being the master of beasts has some real weight in this world, I generally liked the changes to Hagrid. I'm exited to see the rest of the things that you have changed.

Eating weird shit is one of my favorite Xianxia tropes. Also, poison resistance is convenient for improving our defense against being killed while not fighting, which lots of cultivation types can struggle with, especially at early levels. The vulnerability to our growth curve is a legitimate weakness, but at the same time, our improved digestive system should hopefully prevent pill-burnout and similar problems that other cultivators might run into when relying on drugs.

Changed, since I don't want Strength to win.

Hagrid is pretty baller here, but I sort of miss his old fluffybeardness. I think there are hints of it though!
This is extremely true. Entire schools are locked and exclusive to being male or female. And the other bonus is nothing to scoff at either. The malus is something we can circumvent somewhat easily, and we can learn to control it too.
Considering the other quirks makes me believe that those used to the crazy world of wuxia will be far less bothered by it than muggles anyway. I peg Hermione as being more curious than anything. And we all know that Hermione is top friend materials! And Luna. Luna a good. Oh man, I wonder what everyone else has as their tell.
Is Hermione' s hair alive? I'm getting ahead of myself...

Everybody knows that pill making is money making. Which in turn gives us more money to buy more items for more pills that increase our strength. It's a vicious and profitable cycle and we should absolutely make use of it.
Seems like there is no way for pill making God to win.
Let's become a powerhouse then.

I've enjoyed reading through some of the better Xianxia translations, and love the quest Forge of Destiny, so high hopes here. The intro was perfectly written - certainly the concept shouldn't work as well as it does.
In any case, full Ranma should be interesting - especially because it isn't unheard of to have techniques that only one gender can use (for example bewitching techniques for women), and being able to combine these may result in broken combinations.
Edit: Hmm, it's a tie at the moment.

I have to ask some questions after thinking about it,
How the hell does the muggles have a government? Or even relevant?
Are the earth same size as ours or is it big as an average star ?
Will there be any higher realms ?
Are we still an horcrux of Voldemort/Tom Riddle/Whatever the name he has ? Because we can probably get the inheritance of the Slytherin (Probably pill making and Basilisk/Snake type cultivation techniques with some Devilish/Evil methods) if we are.
Thinking about it, we can also get the inheritance of the Gryffindors (Righteous and probably Griffin themed cultivation with Swording) if we are lucky.

Okay, here are some comments on what I noticed people saying. Sorry if I missed anything major but that is (probably) not deliberate.
I'll probably close voting at around 17:30 GMT tomorrow. It may be later if RL distracts me.
Hopefully I can manage to keep the quality up.
That said, don't diss the guy who has looked to a Demon Bear for inspiration on how to kick ass.
That said you, whether you choose that option or not there will already be someone at Hogwarts who is more experienced with this. Other choices, especially which House you end up in, may make that person accessible as a mentor.
[deadpan]The world is definitely larger than a star. A star is just a shining jewel thing embedded in the sphere of the Heavens. Right?[/deadpan]
EDIT: Clarified which day voting will close.

I'm flattered.

The environment which Hagrid lives and works in is rather different than canon with quite different expectations and pressures. There is something of the Hagrid you 'know' in there though. If you end up with him as an ally or mentor then, especially in private moments, you'd see more of his gentler side.
That said, don't diss the guy who has looked to a Demon Bear for inspiration on how to kick ass.
I'm not sure how the powers listed would be fetishistic. The main 'power' you get is effectively being able to have two divergent sets of things you have an easier time cultivating when in that form even if they're opposed. (i.e. you could have an affinity for water as a male and fire as a female) The social problems would be because a) you were isolated to a degree on par with canon Harry by the Dursleys and b) cultivators in general might understand about this but the teenagers you're interacting with will have Issues about it.
That said you, whether you choose that option or not there will already be someone at Hogwarts who is more experienced with this. Other choices, especially which House you end up in, may make that person accessible as a mentor.
You know I've heard someone describe the canonical Luna Lovegood as 'fey and strange'...
Primarily because sects and cultivators are rather insular and someone has to run things. The dividing line about who is in charge of what you is somewhat more fuzzy though (there is a reason for 'taxes and tithes' being mentioned), but the details aren't going to come up until if/when the government and laws directly touch on the action.
If you want details about stars then you should nudge the protagonist towards studying astrology. If you want an answer with their current level of knowledge though?

These are things which haven't been revealed yet any more than the canon Harry Potter knew about Horcux's in the first book. That said cultivation does deal with your own spirit, being aware of it and developing it, so you would think that having a chunk of someone else's soul stuffed in you is something which the protagonist would notice soon into their education.

That explanation just makes the genders vote even better! It really broadens our horizons to an extreme level =o

Hm. I'm really conflicted. Strange-eater is pretty far behind, but I really like it. Two-form is tied for first with super-strength, and I really don't like super-strength, so I'm tempted to switch to two-form. Honestly. I guess I will. It just seems so unlikely that strange-eater will gain more votes and outpace super-strength and two-form.
