Tsunami don't have incest fetish. She have eugenic program and Juraians are quite happy to throw they women (and men) on anybody powerful as long as they agree to marry in family or at least consider intermarriage of descendants.
Tsunami very much has an incest fetish. She is also known as Sasami, the one who very much wants to "be with" her Onichan Tenchi, who is the grandson of her actual brother. Ayeka only started chasing after her grand-nephew Tenchi after her brother turned out to have somehow gotten really old despite being a supposed immortal. Tenchi's dad is a great-grandson of his wife's father. The fiance Seto sets up for Tenchi in addition to his two great-aunts (Sasami and Ayeka) is also a very close relative. His grandmother is kinda creepy around him even before she goes apocalyptic, and if "anyone powerful" was okay, Ayeka wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem with Ryoko. Jurian family trees do not branch nearly as much as the Jurian Royal Trees. They're more like ropes with some knots and weaving back and forth in a line. Yes, it's billed as a eugenics program, but it's mostly a bunch of former space pirates inbreeding until it hurts, and then some.

1. Alien culture is, well... alien. Jurai don't have incest fetish. It just don't have incest taboo which is in fact different thing (and they lack usual incest problems between divine blessing and genetic engineering*).
2. Both Sasami and Tsunami (who at that point weren't fully merged yet) want to be with Tenchi because he's Tenchi, not because he's close relative. Was he adopted it wouldn't changed anything.
*non-genetic problems of incest don't apply to Tenchi himself at all as he's nearly completely removed from that part of family, he's not close relative (despite being one... nah, he's removed enough that not knowing him at all is 100% normal), but complete stranger. And by the same token don't trigger fetish button.
I think my largest criticism of the way the main fic developed is Player One getting a traditional gaming system. It somewhat trivialized the fact that Alec's version didn't have perks by opening up its own store and instant dungeon whenever he felt like. Obviously it's far too late for this but Gaia empowering her in some other manner probably would have improved the narrative significantly.
Criticisms like this would have more weight, if you made sure your complaints are factually correct. Alex's system has perks. He has a whole bunch of them in fact.

Criticisms like this would have more weight if you had read what I wrote. You can tell how I was using the term either by taking the context of the surrounding sentence or the fact that I didn't capitalize the word. Perks as in benefits. Not game mechanics.
To expand: Player One's access to instant dungeons being available to Alec obviated his need to explore what his system and the limitations of the money system meant. He has the benefits of endless enemies and the instant quests.
Possible encore if a toadified Zeus gets eaten by Jinx in Havoc Dragon form.
I mean, Al plans on executing Zeus because gods can't be reliably imprisoned, might as well as make it as entertaining (or as traumatizing) as possible.
Meanwhile:
TIAMAT: (nostalgic) "Ahhh, the first time a dragon devours god-flesh, they grow up so fast."
I mean, Al plans on executing Zeus because gods can't be reliably imprisoned, might as well as make it as entertaining (or as traumatizing) as possible.
"Killing him, directly, won't work. His brother will just let him walk out of the underworld." Alchemist extracted a crystal, a large piece of black stone from his inventory.
The piece of painite holding Jenova.
"He's too strong for us to seal him as he is." Alchemist admitted, stowing it once more in the inventory. "But... We can fix that."
Al's plan for Zeus is to end him - executing him would just put him in the underworld, which he could then leave, and be fresh for round two, and this time expecting it. Letting him die means letting him escape.
I don't play multiplayer games much. Mostly terraria and even that, not much anymore. I never needed to cheat in that game, regardless. It, like Disgaea, will let the player do what they want so long as they're willing to put in the time to learn how to do it. Like wiring.
Hell, my method for killing the Moon Lord is to make a massive track of asphalt, place a boat-load of pressure plates connected to heart and star statues spaced out evenly along it and just run from one end of the world to the next while shooting him. Once I reach the maximum length possible for the wired teleporters, I step on one with a pressure plate which sends me back to the beginning of my track.
Now, as to cheating- I like to mess with a game and learn what makes it tick. For cartridge games, yes, it carries a risk. On the other hand, it's not possible to experience everything in games like PokeMon Emerald unless you're willing to use a gameshark or codebreaker. Certain items, like the island tickets that let you encounter Mew or Deoxys are literally impossible to get otherwise.
Some examples of odd and interesting things I've discovered?
In Dragon Quest 7 for the PS1 (That's the system I actually spent my time exploring like this) there weren't actually any dummied items that I can recall. Though one thing of note, it had three different ID's for mini-medals. I believe this is because the game would expect for you to collect over two-hundred but your per-item limit did not go nearly that high.
Legend of Legaia, the PC's had these special pieces of equipment called Ra-Seru that were plot relevant. They actually occupied a hidden equipment slot and would automatically swap at certain points of the storyline. I never did figure out how to alter those equipment slots, though some other intrepid individuals did figure out how to change the levels. Twenty years ago, I wasn't quite as curious as to what would happen if the equipment ID was swapped for an actual weapon. Now I kind of want to see what would happen if the ID was swapped with something like the Astral Sword.
Metal Gear Solid actually had two western releases for the PS1. The original back in the nineties and a re-release of the PSX game in a three part bundle with Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3. While most people believe the two to be the same, the internal code is actually just slightly different. For whatever reason, the item values were shuffled. What purpose this served, I don't actually know. I just found it fascinating when I finally got around to messing with them.
I'm going to say because there is some sort of personality that just flocks to Japanese video game companies, that just hates it when the end user gets any 'unauthorized' enjoyment by using anything to modify the game from the product they served you. To the point they will make sure to patch out any bugs that make play easier/more convenient in a re-release, while not caring enough to fix the bugs that actually hinder the game.
I remember being pissed when something happened to a game I had got, and read about the bugs they made not work anymore, compared to the bugs that were still there. Can't remember the specifics, but it was like dummying out something like the FFII (actually FFIV) bug that let you dupe items that fit hand slots, but left something like the Intangir glitch that could royally fuck up the save data in a bad way.
So I assume they did it because it would be easy to do coding wise (just a cut & paste shuffling), specifically to mess with someone who tried to code in items using the original releases Game Shark codes.
Hey Ficser would Fate's Servant Skills be gained as perks, or kept as skills? and would they have the letter system of E to EX or change to levels or some mix of the two?
Depends on the skill. Active ones could be skills whilst others might be passives.
As some passive skills have been given levels, we can also go ahead and add that function. 0-20 E, 21-40 D, 41-60 C, 61-80 B, 81-100 A, 101-150 EX, 151+ EX+.
It still offers the implication that a human could reach amazing skill but would top out at A after a lifetime of work. Anything beyond that gets into genuine heroic and mythic levels of bullshittery.
If Alchemist did add Mihoshi to his Harem, how does she understand things? She is a Galaxy Police officer. Does that come with her own Spaceship as a Gift from Washu?
I also mean, she is not a Pacifist, she is well meaning in her lucky bumbling idiot way.
... Does this mean Alchemist is building a Giant Bath/ Onsen?
reminder that we must go to hades and zeus is there too, since all gods are conected there is a chance Alchemist will have to fight against hades zeus and have to tip his hand to DC zeus
The weeks that Alec spent after having Eri restore Izuku were spent doing a lot of things. Getting a legal-ish identity proved easier than he'd expected. Between the government being less than twenty years old and Quirks doing all kinds of crazy things, he'd literally been able to find a form that stated he was brought into existence through unusual or otherwise impossible means.
It was probably meant for those rare Quirks that would eventually create a secondary sophont being, such as Dark Shadow, the Quirk of the bird-headed boy named Fumikage Tokoyami.
Getting Eri registered with the government didn't sit well with him, no, but he also wanted to get her sent to school. It would give her something to do, push her to interact with other people and give him about ten hours out of the day to focus on other tasks.
Did it carry a risk? Sure. But he refused to let fear control him, refused to sequester her away like a rare book in his hoard. It wouldn't be right or fair to deny her the company of her peers because he was afraid.
It gave him time to review what he had left and what he needed to do going forward.
He'd lost his inventory, which was an incredible inconvenience. He still had his armory but his Mageknight Armor, Ultima Weapon and Abyssal Spear were missing. His rings and earrings were severely slagged but at least he'd been able to recall them. The only piece of his armor left had been the right gauntlet with the psypher in it and that had been nearly shattered.
Those he could repair.
His pendant, made of Darksteel, seemed completely untouched.
He had to wonder if whatever had happened... He'd always avoided going for an absolute defense because it would encourage his foes to try and find unique and novel ways of harming him. A strong defense and people like Zod would just try and punch harder. An impervious defense got them thinking of crazy things like dragging someone into a star or something.
With half of his equipment missing, he gone on to check his vehicles. Those were intact for the most part except for the Incorruptus which was, impossibly, missing its right arm at the bicep. A strangely familiar injury.
He'd made the thing out of Darksteel. It was -Conceptually- indestructible! Whatever the hell had happened, he really wished he knew.
Repairing it was slow going. It was re-growing the arm because of Mending but without his personal intervention that looked like it could take months.
Alec swallowed dryly as he thought about that. He'd gotten up to something that could break Darksteel. He wasn't even sure if his Ultima could do that- Something he was going to have to test, eventually- and he didn't know what it was. It was entirely possible that he'd simply been killed by whatever happened as a freak accident but... He would have had contingencies in place. He knew he'd made plans, spells and perks that would preserve just a fraction of his life and let him recover.
Though, some of those could have failed if he was in a different plane from the one he'd placed some of those contingencies.
Or... All of that had just been bypassed because Gaia wanted to throw him at this world? He wouldn't put it past Terra. He just wished he knew what was going on. It seemed like a solid chunk of his Perks were missing, any of the spells or skills he hadn't put any real effort into, things he just didn't remember, were out of reach. At least his laptop was in his home, he could print off copies of the things he'd scanned into it.
The System had been useful in that regard, at least. It let him access things he'd studied and learned, even if he'd forgotten them.
His Dragon perks remained. The spellboost effects, he'd learned how to apply by himself. He couldn't stack them, that required the System but he could still twist his spells with one effect at a time. He couldn't measure it but the amount of magic he had was genuinely ridiculous so he assumed the stat boosting perks from eating Materia remained.
It seemed as though all of the external reality warping effects were gone. Even the item refunding/duplicating ones.
All in all, it was incredibly inconvenient. Workable, though.
Getting back home, though... Getting back to Yuffie, Jinx, Kary and his familiars...
Getting through the Source Wall wasn't going to work. Smarter people than him, such as Victor Von Doom, had been trapped in it. Even world destroying entities such as Unicron were unable to penetrate the wall, becoming part of it instead.
That left going around it. None of the routes that he knew of were safe, especially as reduced as he was. The simplest option he could think of was just Gating into Hell and then physically traversing the infinite abyss until he'd literally walked past where the Source Wall would be, then Gating back home.
He'd thought about trying to get into the Dreaming but according to Dee, the Endless weren't quite as All-Powerful beyond the Source Wall as most believed. If the Sandman's domain wasn't as omnipresent then that meant he'd have to actually find it which...
Well, attempting that was a good way to end up in the dreams of dead gods. Wish could work to bypass that and get into the actual Dreaming, probably, assuming that there weren't Other things in between. Things that could feel him traversing the infinite Blind Eternities between realities, things that could follow him. Dragging one of those into a coherent reality...
Well, Alec had heard about what happened when a reality tried to contain something that was -literally- impossible. That reality dissolving back into the foam of the multiverse was a comparable good end to such an event.
He sighed quietly as he finished washing Reis's food bowl. The dust on it had been bothering him. He missed her. He missed Ash. Terribly.
But he was glad that they hadn't been in the Demi-plane when whatever happened, happened. He didn't know what he would've done if he'd found their desiccated remains somewhere, starved to death. The guilt alone... He wouldn't have been able to Resurrect them, not after failing them like that.
He was stuck here. Stuck in a world that had warred against common sense and won. At least so long as he wasn't able to come up with a genuinely better option. Or just nut up and invade Hell.
"What am I supposed to be doing, Terra?" Alec mumbled, scrubbing away at the clean glasses in his hands. "At least give me some kind of idea what you want me to accomplish."
Was he supposed to teach Izuku how to not be the kind of idiot that would let an omnicidal half-wit murder his friends and allies so the kid could stand high on a moral high-ground made of corpses because, at the very least, he'd fought to save the split personality of an abused child inside of Shigaraki Tomura?
He'd ripped Eri away from her abusers. Turned them all to stone, left them as a monument so that others could see that they weren't safe. That there were bigger, meaner monsters out there.
"Am I supposed to put down All for One?" He asked the empty house. "Put a bullet through his scientist? Expose the commission?"
"Terra?" He begged, knowing he'd get no answer.
"What am I supposed to do...?"
G: Well, I managed to Ping his system before he got out of range again. It's a corrupted mess. Nothing is hooked in anywhere, I barely managed to get a current stat sheet.
K: Were you able to message him?
G: Nothing went through. I can't tell if that's broken or he just has no access.
J: How the Hell did this happen? I thought you were a top administrator?
G: I am! Here. Over there? She's one of three with Creation level access to a solid chunk of the multiverse.
J: ...Is there anything we can do?
G: I am still able to send in update patches to his System. It's not much, anything too big might get her to block those off, but it is something. I don't think I can repair it, though. Not from here.
K: Can we send him anything? If the Messaging system is broken, can we send an actual letter? Some kind of note?
G: Not possible. The inventory has been completely unhooked. I barely managed to find where it was stored. That thing had been dropping toad statues throughout dozens of different worlds before I found it and closed it.
R: What about me?
G: What? What about you? I can't send you. I can't send anyone!
R: No, I get that... But one of the things he can do, one of the spells he should be able to do, he's eventually going to try and cast Find Familiar.
G: ...I could, maybe, possibly, fit you into an update patch on his system. You know, though, that you won't be awake or alive if I do this, right? You'll be waiting in stasis until he tries calling for you.
R: I know. Even if he never figures it out, it's a chance. It's more than we have right now. Besides, even if he won't do it himself... I know Jinx will eventually find a way to get to him. I trust her.
G: ...If you're sure. This, well, this is going to hurt. A lot.
R: I know. Please, be quick. Otherwise Ash will try and get involved. I wouldn't put her through this. Yuffie needs her.
reminder that we must go to hades and zeus is there too, since all gods are conected there is a chance Alchemist will have to fight against hades zeus and have to tip his hand to DC zeus
As much as an asshat Zeus is, he's also the pantheon's strongest member and thus their shield, so Alchemist and Co would likely have to fight the other gods, which even if they're thankful for him killing Zeus after the fact there will be some anger and resentment for defeating them, godly pride and all that
Storing one of Alchemist's familiars inside his inventory, to be found (and subsequently connected) to it (and thus the Beta Gamer System) when Al casts Find Familiar is genuinely inspired genius, aside from the obvious problem of Alchemist missing most of his spells that he didn't focus heavily on, which would have included Find Familiar, since I doubt it's a spell he had to cast enough to level up more than a few times. And the other problem being that Al would actually have to think of that, which he most likely wouldn't.
Also, apparently the Source Wall even cuts off the Plane of Dreams, which is virtually impossible to do. It even extends into the prison planes created by overdeity-level gods, for goodness's sake. That thing connects everything. Even the Source Wall shouldn't cut it off. The Plane of Shadow is the same way. The two planes are basically the only ways for eternally imprisoned abominations to escape, many of which basically have their own Source Walls cutting them off from the rest of the omniverse. But even with that, those two planes can be used to travel to and from those prisons via Wish, even if they're cut off from everything else.
In short, I think Alchemist is severely overestimating how strong the Source Wall actually is.
And even with that, he could easily hitch a ride with the various entities he could contact that can travel freely through the thing, such as Lucifer, who would find it trivial to do, and if Alchemist has yet to finish his daughter's body, or is on friendly terms with him due to developing a working relationship of sorts with him (and offering him an important trade of favors in exchange), contacting him would get him back in record time, I'm sure.
Or there's the passageway from the Marvel-verse, which should be much easier to reach from the MHA-verse.
Basically, Alchemist has a lot more options than he thinks he does.
Al can print off his spellbooks, meaning he can teach Eri, Izuku, Nezu, and possibly Yagi actual magic. That could help them with so many issues on so many levels. It would also offer proof that his abilities are not quirk-based, since literally anyone with enough effort can learn them, so long as they have the slightest smidgen of magical ability (which is most creatures, unless they cannot channel any magic whatsoever, which is extremely rare).
"Her Quirk is pretty interesting, too. The ability to 'Create' whatever arbitrary rules she wants and have them enforced upon reality? I mean, I can do that too but that's not a Quirk."
Zeus was, instead, a god of Law. His very words could rewrite reality, his demands could sunder not just one or two people at a time, but even the entirety of the human race.

Well, Alec had heard about what happened when a reality tried to contain something that was -literally- impossible. That reality dissolving back into the foam of the multiverse was a comparable good end to such an event.
He recognizes there are other options. He's also aware that the dangers of jumping straight into them without an actual plan can have consequences far, far above him.
Outside the Source Wall there are countless other Dreamings, such as the one presided over by Luna of My Little Pony. The one run by Sandman, Dream of the Endless, does extend and connect to them. Alchemist even admits that he should be able to get into it by using Wish. The problem he's looking at is that he has no guarantee he can do that without being detected or dragging something else along in his wake.
For example- Cthulhu is often regarded as an outer god. For most intents and purposes, this is true. However, he is also the high-priest to an even greater entity, a dead god that is dreaming.
If Alchemist mis-fires and ends up in that dream, odds are pretty bad on getting out unscathed. The thing might wake up, which would be bad for a big chunk of the multiverse. Its dream might infect others, which could arguably be worse.
One of the important things about knowing amazing, reality altering magics? Knowing when using it might be more dangerous than it's worth.
Breaching Hell and going through there might literally be safer.
