Aside from the features mentioned earlier, the game also has an auction house, similar to those found in games like DNF or Pokemmo from Ren's previous life.
Here, players can trade with each other, listing items like valuable Pokémon or accumulated Pokécoins that others can purchase with real money. Pokémon with strong stats are particularly sought after in these trades.
Legend of Pokémon: Breath of the Wild offers much more than just this, as the game community and forums constantly buzz with discussions. The game remains the number one topic across all platforms.
The experience of stepping into a world filled with amazing creatures and becoming a Pokémon Trainer, capturing and raising Pokémon, provides an immersive experience that few other activities can match. Online, media outlets are unanimously giving the game high marks. Even the few sites that tried to find faults and gave lower scores quickly faced backlash from players.
While Ren's game was gaining popularity, his manga series were also drawing attention, especially Naruto, which had entered the Great Ninja War arc.
Unlike the anime from Ren's previous life, he made significant changes to this stage of the story. One of the major changes was cutting down on unnecessary flashbacks. In the original anime, the constant flashbacks dragged the story and frustrated viewers. Ren, having experienced this himself, made sure to streamline the narrative, removing most of the flashbacks that didn't advance the plot.
Another area he improved was the Edo Tensei (Reanimation Jutsu). In the original, this technique brought back many strong characters, but many of them were poorly used. Characters like Sasori of the Red Sand, Hanzo the Salamander, and even Asuma Sarutobi were quickly defeated, making their reappearances feel underwhelming.
Ren felt that the original use of Edo Tensei was more about padding the story than enhancing it. Many resurrected characters, who could have had a significant impact, ended up being nothing more than filler.
Ren also adjusted the portrayal of battles. In the original story, the battle strategies during the Great Ninja War often felt lacking. Instead of clever tactics and intense, life-or-death struggles, many of the fights boiled down to simple brawls with flashy new techniques. This was a stark contrast to the earlier, more strategic and meaningful battles in the series.
In his version, Ren brought back the depth and tension that made the early fights in Naruto memorable. The battles were more about skill, strategy, and character development than just showing off powerful jutsu.
For example, in the latest chapter, Naruto arrives at various battlefields, helping the Allied Shinobi Forces turn the tide against the White Zetsu army. Just when the forces are feeling confident, a man appears before them—a man with an air of contempt in his eyes, clad in black armor with red accents, and sporting a wild, spiky hairstyle.
It was none other than Uchiha Madara, the man who had once joined forces with Hashirama Senju to establish the Hidden Leaf Village.
As Madara stepped onto the battlefield, he quickly overpowered the Allied Forces. In the original story, the shinobi often charged at him with basic taijutsu, which seemed foolish given his strength. Ren changed this by having the shinobi use a variety of coordinated ninjutsu attacks, combining their techniques to try and overwhelm Madara.
"Surely, with so many powerful jutsu, even Madara can't come out unscathed?" thought many of the readers, their blood pumping with excitement as they imagined being part of the battle.
But Madara's power was on a different level. Despite the combined efforts of the shinobi, their attacks barely phased him. In response to the incoming barrage of ninjutsu, Madara simply brought his hand to his mouth and unleashed a massive fire-style jutsu.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
A wave of fire erupted from Madara, so massive it seemed like an ocean of flames, completely overwhelming the shinobi's attacks.
Using the steam created by the clash between fire and water jutsu as cover, Madara quickly closed the distance, activating Susanoo—his massive, armored spectral warrior. Even when faced with the combined might of Naruto, Gaara, and Ōnoki, Madara easily held his ground, grabbing Naruto by the throat as he tried to attack with a Rasengan.
Madara looked down at Naruto with disdain and asked, "Oh? Do you also want to dance?"
The chapter ended on this chilling note, leaving readers eagerly anticipating what would happen next.
