    I keep reading about MC's with 500-1000 Ji weapons, or even heavier than that. But how do they not topple over? And strength has nothing to do with it. It's physics. Picture a crane trying to pick up anything 10 times it's own weight. It can't.

    Thoughts anyone?

    Think of them less as cranes, more as ants, lifting 100 times their own weight. Later on they also borrow the power of the world around us, essentially altering the way in which physics effect things.

    i never see any heavenly lightning tribulations. nor a divine herb that possess sentient and super powers. defying physics is the least of the problems.

    you mean we can't have giant monsters because they'll just be crushed under their own weight?
    giant robots can't fly because of aerodynamic?
    giant weapons are impractical?
    oh no
    what has the world become?

    Don't you read the parts where after picking up the heavy weights for the first time their feet are drilled into the ground and they leave deep indentations with every step? Then they do that whole mystical force balancing thing and it's back to "feather" steps.

    Anyway, I don't know physics, but I doubt there's really a problem. There are animals that weigh hundreds of pounds and vehicles that weigh tons. They don't cause earthquakes with every step, or fall over because they can't control their momentum. It works out somehow. I don't need to know the details.

    my guess is because its made out of fantasy metals, so they don't break over their own weight

    because they can make their ground not feel weapon weight, unless they attack it. It's like auto lightweight skill always on

    These type of novels have magical flying treasures, huge demonic beasts, humans with lifespans that extend over centuries not to mention higher planes of existence and your questioning about how the MC can carry a weapon a couple hundred of Jin heavier than him?
