Firstly, in this specific context (to a lesser extent just in general, but here especially), I personally feel like you definitely could have the percent switched to a number, and I personally see no reason not to. Second, getting to the point of my reply, my previous comment wasn't how I feel percents should work or how I think they work realistically; my previous comment was describing how percents seem to work in THIS novel. Because you can't have over a 100% chance to do something, and it says a 300% increase right there. Also, having percents multiplied by eachother, **especially** in a video game setting, isn't that uncommon at all, in my experience. It certainly isn't the **standard**, but I've seen it a good number of times, so I definitely wouldn't call it rare.

100% is 1 bar, +100% would be two. By that logic the other person is right. If the original is 1, +300% is 4. Because "+300%" or "+100%" is just x4 and x2. It's not increasing the percent (ex; 10%) by a number (300) to get 310%, its increasing the original number (10) by a percent of that number (300%) to get a total of 40.

No, because he only handed out the high level equipment to the 70 main fighter guys. The rest of the NPCs just have normal gear.

I mean, she literally just explained her reasoning, and she doesn't really have any better options? From an outside perspective, it makes no sense to give extra help to someone who barely passed compared to a talented prodigy. Besides, as mentioned previously, she isn't withholding anything from MC, she's just giving extra to this girl.

Also, it mentioned earlier that the stronger swordsman are also being sent to the front lines to battle stronger demons, so there isn't anybody available to protect weaker cultivators.

When the sect gave funding, the people who used those resources died on the front lines, so it was a waste. The sect cut off funding, so they can't properly support any prodigies into growing powerful, and it sounds like all of the most talented/promising people in the peak were crippled or injured, so the sect is going to continue to withhold funding. Without those resources, it is very difficult for new cultivators to become strong, and without any new strong cultivators, the sect doesn't see any reason to continue pumping resources into it. Keep in mind that I have a very basic understanding of cultivation politics that primarily comes from one novel, so I could be extremely wrong on all of this, but this is the impression I'm getting.

Tf drugs are you on, and can I have some? One percent of one percent would be less than a million assuming, and this is a hundred million people. Don't post numbers unless you are capable of even a little bit of math or fact-checking.
