With that kind of looped feedback, the character's fame keeps snowballing, the income keeps rising, and you can use real-world cash to buy in-game stuff, beef up your character, and form a nonstop positive cycle.
Of course, there are failed cases too. Sects are full of scheming; you get backstabbed and your character dies, or you get killed by a demon while out on a mission—then all that carefully built-up groundwork goes straight down the drain.
And then there's an even more extreme raising method: starting from absolute zero.
Players like Jiang Yong, who got into the game late, can take this route, because the older Players can't bear trashing all the progress they've grinded out and don't have the guts to reset from scratch. Unless they die by accident, who'd be stupid enough to suicide and reopen a new account after cultivating for so long, just to walk this track?
