Bro can you tell me all the things that you bought from Shopkeeper?
So I can have an idea of what to buy from him
Okay, so like I advised, I made no early game purchases from Shopkeep. It doesn't really matter, you can't make enough money in the early game to really impact your purchasing potential given the high costs of later options, but might as well save it. That does mean that you can spend money on the things that give you relationship points (helping out Amber, paying for breakfast with Emily) without it impacting things, though.

Once the stat booster shop opens up, your budget matters. Unless you took Tiffany's money option, the most money you'll get will be from H.E.R.O. payouts. You'll get $3000 total for successfully hunting the Gorgon and Asura, and the S.I.N. ceremony infiltration pays out depending on the route you take. Assuming you did everything perfectly, you'll get $38000 if you stayed in the tournament and $49000 if you dropped out. I dropped out, so I had $52000 to play with. Actually, since I had left over from early game, it was $53060, but that doesn't super matter. Like I said, the extra isn't enough to afford anything I wouldn't have.

I bought the Spine and Vertebra from Shopkeep. I think that's a better use of the money than buying Power, because if you skipped Tiffany's money option for the Power option, you'd get +30 power and all Shopkeep's stuff combined only gives +15. The Spine is +3 Skill for $12000, and the Vertebra is +1 for $6000. Budget is down to $35000. That's exactly how much the Vortex Stone ($15000, I said $12000 earlier but that was me misremembering) and Raffle Ticket ($20000) cost combined. Probably that's deliberate. Having the Vortex Stone and Spine together unlocks an option with the Vestige that costs 1 Skill, but gets your choice of lore or a futher +3 Skill, so I think it's worth it.

And then at Shopkeep's Power shop, I spent the full 30 Power to buy the Shapeshifter's Heart and get +3 Skill. Maybe that's a mistake, we'll see, that's what save scumming is for.

My theory is that the big 3 are the ones who were never meant to reach their final evo. Because they are leagues stronger than they should ever be. The Berni literally 1v1 a CHOSEN and overpowered her. The same chosen that was toying with 2 level 5's like a joke. Level 5 is big but it doesn't feel like it should have even been this big for the big 3.
The games called Superhuman and takes a lot of inspiration from comic book universes. These guys are in the upper tiers of power of the setting, the planet busters, they need to be given the high tier or the threats, they act as the shield until the MC reaches a point in the story where they can make a difference. Not all level 5's are going to be equal, same as not Chosen. The gap between someone whose been level 5 longer than the other 2 have been alive is also likely many times great than any other gap.

As powerful as the big 3 are, as rare as they are, I don't think there anything that hasn't been seen in some form before, Aglæcwif has mentioned this as all happened before on who knows how many worlds, they resist, humanity gets overwhelmed, and Superhumans who don't join the monsters eventually die.

After the last update, I'm thinking the big difference this time around is what Syla has done, awakening to her own humanity and then doing that for some of the other monsters.

I've already replayed this game around five or six times, and I'll probably need to do so a few more times in the upcoming updates depending on how the choices play out. Makes me wonder if we're gonna have extremely hyperspecific conditions for certain outcomes, what with all of these stat and money manipulations we have available.

Come for the porny powerfantasy, stay for the emotional gutpunches and genuinely awesome lore.
I came because I saw this picture when someone was talking about how good the story was and thought to myself "damn the guy in the suit looks like a brutal motherfucker". Little did I know that was the MC. Stayed for peak chuunige.
