That's right, that is what no effect means here. We sometimes put things like (No effect, but you get cut) or (No effect, but LI doesn't like it) or whatever to let the player no that this might be the less favorable option despite having no actual lasting effect.

I started putting (No effect, but you get injured) since the game said injuries will be important but it turns out that if you just have the screen go red but no card appears the injury doesn't affect anything. As of now, only the injured leg from the fight with the shadow hounds in Chapter 2 and the fight with the pirate captain in Chapter 6 have any actual effect. In both cases it depends on how many you got wrong. If you only get one wrong and the screen goes red indicating you got s hit, you still won't have a lasting injury.

So no, @Circy, the screen going red doesn't necessarily have a big effect in itself.

I think we should remove the other mentions of injury to avoid confusion.
