It's not bugged, it's obviously for balancing reasons. You can't juice one stat too far without leveling the other. To gain intelligence quickly you need to gain more strength by reading, and to read quicker you need to gain more intelligence by lifting.

If this were a real scenario you would have to be careful not to switch back and forth much or you wouldn't progress until you got new training equipment

You'd go from reading "see spot run" to increase your strength, to later, after exercising having to read textbooks to gain strength.

You would want to max out one stat as far as you can in one go, then switch to the other and do the same.

Or you could do what I did yesterday: listen to most of an audiobook WHILE riding ridiculous distances on an exercise bike 😁

I had a friend who was in the national under 18 waterpolo team but that was kinda his peak so he instead pursued computer programming. Nowadays he rides hundreds kf kilometers a day while listening to audiobooks to keep fit. Because hes a good programmer and street smart he only works like 3 hours a day and pretends like he needs 8 hours to do the work. Goated way to live i guess.

Shitz literarily unplayable

Idk that dude's gaining stats pretty fast, it might be one of those systems where you grow fast initially and then taper off, pure player benefit in power leveling a stat because the training is still checking the smaller value for exp needed but applying the bonus to the higher.

But how if you're a dyslexic body builder or noodle-armed book worm? How do I min max my stats 😭
