Yeah cuz when you make a character overpowered the only way to even it out is either too: provide a balanced nerf(they can't control it, they go berserk, it uses up a lot of energy etc), provide a character based reason for why they can't use their power("well he would be awesome but he doesn't like fighting" "she's really good at Magic but thinks it looks lame so she doesn't like using it"), rapidly scale the world to fit them(any shounen series after a Time skip), treat them as a constant and the world as the changing element of the story( something like the first half of "to you the immortal" where the world's rapidly changing but the protagonist is relatively unchanged as far as capability), or make the strength not the point( mob psycho or one punch man, where the goals are "self-acceptance and growth" and "self-fulfillment and self actualization" respectively), any other approach and it quickly devolves into wish fulfillment trash.(Honestly the "scale the world" approach doesn't work half the time anyways but at least it's an attempt at maintaining stakes and tension)

Man the merchants are finessing the fuck out of these abyss folk.

There's a few series I was reading that I nearly dropped because they just tossed in a system for no reason, it especially hurts when it just straight up doesn't fit the setting or the story but is just there anyways.

The problem is that it's a sports series, a genre built on effort and payoff, and it's otherwise grounded outside of the system and initial reincarnation so the system is out of place for a couple reasons, instead of working with the plot and story- like solo leveling for instance- it instead undercuts the whole impact of this type of story. It would be like if Slam Dunk's protagonist had the ability to use Chi or something but everything else played out the same, it both eliminates stakes and effort unnecessarily just to follow a trend. Even just making the world heightened like Baki or kengan would at least mitigate this but as is there is no benefit the system brings to this series that isn't outweighed by it's drawbacks.

While the main characters absolutely a dick for his actions I do at least understand them in the sense of he genuinely just wanted a good fight with that swordsman dude, he was basically making Goku decision making - where you just go along with whatever the f*** if it means you can get a good fight, like the author attempted to communicate that but didn't make this trait of his clear enough often enough for it to be an action the majority of the audience would understand or agree with.

I think the door's been broken ever since Mash ran through

Like it feels like overlord but if overlord was told completely out of order and you just don't get half the characters internal monologues, like I don't hate it but yeah it leads to the story being a confusing mess of plot lines all twisted together in a way that does not really work.

This is incorrect actually, you have to go to at least second cousins for the negative effects of inbreeding to be minimalized, with first cousins it's still double the incidents rate of deformities to non-related people.

Well Inbreeding is more like a debuff chance whose percentage gets raised the closer two people are genetically. Say two average people have a 2% chance to have a child with an unhealthy mutation, if they're second cousins that 1% jumps to up a tiny bit, that percentage jumps up higher to like 4% if their first cousins and jumps up to like a 10 to 20% if there siblings,(these aren't the actual numbers I'm just sort of tossing in numbers to visualize it) and inbreeding stacks so if you're an inbred born child born perfectly healthy and you breed with someone that's close to you genetically that negative mutation chance jumps up sharply.

That's because it is literally just a power supply, if he doesn't apply it it's not particularly useful, he's essentially put the world's most powerful engine on a scooter. he's only applied it for spells he had to learn for class and stuff to do with streaming so it's not actually particularly good at any combat other than upfront direct combat where you get overwhelm an enemy with pure firepower. It fits his personality too so that's good.

He is the great ancestor (OG heavenly demon)from nano machine and while I'm not sure what relationship he would have to anybody from sword sense, but going off of looks and personality and natural inclination he may be a descendant of blood demon, sword sense is a century before this series

Ah The good ol' "possessed by the devil" one two Punch.

Hey!.... he can do two things

Now I'm imagining a full standard romance manga but everybody talks like it's a delinquent manga no other changes, like rent a girlfriend but they talk like they're in Crows.

It seems like he had his suspicions because he was like "the vibe feels right" so he went to the information place to get confirmation but they gave him the manipulated information that she had died so now he's a bit conflicted.

Yeah but it's a story not reality, and going by the writing, previous hints and the setup plus the fact that he has a specific natural ability that only he and that order leader share... I'm just putting two and two together.

So it's seeming pretty obvious at this point that that order leader is probably his dad, he seems to have gray hair like his sister and it would explain how he got cursed so hard by him too. The only question now is, is he going to be "Uber evil" or "somehow understandable but villainous"...
