Have you ever asked yourself, "What would it be like if your life was in some ways like a video game?" I didn't, and it's a lot more complicated than to press a button to win

Thanks for the update!
I forgot that before the body upgrade he was still only 12 years old. He's going through a lot but he'll get his happy ending!
...Or not, after all negative emotions will always exist.
Jesus he's only twelve? And he already towers over adult ponies? Lol. Imagine when he's fully grown, he'll probably be taller or as tall as celestia.
BACK AGAIN, I have to say I'm having a WONDERFUL week and he can't feel his own emotions? Forgot about that, explain it please.
Thats some brutal level up, and also some family resemblances? As in, if he hadnt been there, certain families in the future would be greatly altered or even lost, which would totally alter the world he is in?
Taking out another 40 Manticores would leave large portions of the forest without balancing, or are they already too large numbers and he would just be culling down to a levels less likely to strip lesser animals to the point the Manticires remainining starve so badly they aattack surrounding towns in desperation?
I wonder how hard it would be for him to get XP etc in Mining, Farming, Logging etc, just keep hitting trees, rocks and digging holes in the ground?

Finally an update I can’t wait to see where this is going
Wait, why does he still have the Path of the Strong quest? In the chapter he evolves his race the game says:
"Your body will be made, and it will be perfect without blemish, unafflicted by already existing impairments, lack of resources, or even negative memories and emotions towards a fetus born of drug usage and broken dreams. The weak flaw only exists on the current meta-physical scale and can be removed without any lasting consequences."
That implies that he doesn't have the weak flaw anymore, and the stats he ends up with afterwards seem to confirm it.
Why does he have a quest to remove a flaw he doesn't have anymore, and what happens if the game tries to remove a flaw he doesn't have?

I'll gladly explain it, but for that, I have to go way back to the beginning of the Story. It's true, that he gained the [weak] flaw from seizing a broken pony fetus for his body, but the Game is not referring to the [flaws], he is being more literal here, which is also why he mentioned the [weak] flaw separately.
The Game cannot directly change the body of his host, he was supplemented with various items to achieve the features Star's is profiting off. So Star is still inhibiting a broken body that's being overclocked by the Game and the high stats he possesses, for they improve and empower what is already there, but cannot change it. High strength cannot create entirely new muscles, high charisma does not allow Star to gain more appealing colors or other sexual features...
The Game is referring to how Star will now be granted a body worthy of his station, both in strength and ability, as it previously was a poor mess, but also so that he is no longer constantly plagued by the negative emotions of this body's first owner, as previously seen with how incredibly guilty Star feels for having stolen it. In the later part, he refers to that context, basically saying. "Yes, your body will be free from the physical ailments given during creation, but if you were to remove the actual flaws, this body would reach its prime without needing further mutations."
It's probably a translation error, where I meant to say that the possibility was there, not that it's a done deed. He separately mentions that the ailments he is removing are of a physical nature. Sorry for having made this confusing.
Now, about the nature of flaws, they are a matter of the soul. Nothing can physically alter Star's body beyond the Game's influence in very specific circumstances, such as race changes, perks, skills and, you guessed it, flaws. So, even if the physical damage is directly removed, the flaw remains, but on the other hand, he also doesn't receive flaws for being crippled in battle, but also because of [Gamer's Mind] and [Gamer's Body], making is so that such imprints cannot easily be made on him. The problem is that as hard as it is to receive flaws, it's just as problematic to get rid of them.
They are a direct indentation in the soul, and when Star seized his body, and in the process consumed the soul of its first inhabitant, he gained everything, including the flaws, for they aren't physically bound. It was the harsh circumstances of the pregnancy, the intense negativity and desperation from Star's 'biological mother,' that caused the flaws to be imprinted onto the first claimed soul, for mortal creatures are easily 'cursed.' This was mentioned during Star's visit to the Neighara Falls, where the Game warned Star to be careful, lest he cursed another creature.
I hope this clears things up.
As for what would happen if he tried to get rid of a flaw he doesn't have? I honestly don't know, but the best case scenario would be completed upon meeting certain requirements, and the system seeing that no such flaws are present 'anymore' and marking it as done.
