Also sometimes training your whole life to be able to fight somebody is just not enough, some people just be built different, look at the main character he's trained for like 8 months and he's already equal to her and yeah he did it through b******* and hacks, but villains always get hacks because they could do things that might give you a benefit that are morally questionable, like murdering people to steal their gear, or power leveling off of humans instead of monsters.

No the series definitely has the problem of the main character being significantly more important than everyone else all the time, but in that encounter didn't she only really get a shot at him because he did not assume she'd be anywhere close to him in skill so he was f****** around and when he got serious he basically immediately bodied her. The dump guild would at least provide him with money to be able to get good gear, and if he's been continuing his killing people activities (the main character mentions that in the original timeline the boss of the dump guild went into that blue dungeon himself, going off of this we can assume he's at least gone into other dungeons on dump guild activity to squad wipe people and such). Like don't get me wrong the practice of treating every single character other than the main character like essentially potato sacks to take beatings until the main character can save them sucks in writing - but at least this series provided a basic explanation this one time that doesn't feel like just making all the side characters useless, it's just hyping up that the villains actually a threat. Like they aren't saying that she sucks or anything they're essentially saying he's first generation so he's built different which is kind of a trend in these types of series.

Edit: seeing what he actually said I think his point was more-so that if she fights him solo she has a good chance to win but it's not certainty (let's assume it's like 65 to 75%) but if they jump him for certain they can win without anyone dying, so this is less a "just wait for Goku" moment and more a "f*** duels jump that mother f*****" moment

Wait is she just playing the game or is she stuck? she said she checked the favorability but when and how?

I mean they did actually provide a reason that makes sense as to why she wouldn't be able to do it solo, that being that he's had more time and more experience to gather power and strength than she has, meaning even if they get to the same rough level of strength he has significantly more polish on how to use it effectively and efficiently.

Quick someone hit me with that one Thanos meme, you know the one!

Why is it whenever there's evil vampires in a big group like this they're always so God damn sloppy with their food, there's always the one guy drinking blood out of a wine glass like a decent person but then the rest of them are just spilling their food all over the table, the floor, the f****** walls, just because you eat people doesn't mean you can't be civilized about it!

I'm convinced at this point that he's either cursed or is supposed to be a Magic build but chose warrior.

I think my favorite part about their reactions is that they were slightly surprised until they saw he was involved and then the surprise just went away, like "oh dear is that a bone dragon whatever could that be doing here?...Oh wait is that Sir Lloyd? nevermind it makes perfect sense for a bone dragon to be here it's just Lloyd stuff"

If I remember correctly he is considered handsome in the murim world, alongside being considered a martial arts hero. here however,he is a surprisingly strong up and coming guy with average looks and background, very little in the way of charisma and self-awareness and his occasional strange behaviors are less acceptable in the real world and all of these things compound into him being considered kind of a strong weirdo which is not exactly a romantically desirable trait for the general public(unless you're handsome then you're eccentric instead of weird)

I don't like it, it's not a good feeling to watch a bunch of people who train their whole life put their all into this, versus a guy who's trained some but mostly gets better at techniques by just putting points into stats, especially when it's a sport and not like a fight to the death, it cheapens the whole thing to me it feels like cheating. Also I feel like a lot of the art is like redraws of 3D models and photographs, like the way that evil businessman dudes facial hair looked In, I want to say chapter 10 or 11?, was just really off-putting because it was shaded like cheap 3d hair rendering. The fights themselves are good but it feels like it's just rushing from one fight to another with no meaningful characterization between them other than the basics making sure we know the good guys are good people and the bad guys are bad people( which is weird considering it's sports and not every guy you fight is gonna be an arrogant bastard or a complete asshole), a basic example of this is that he just reincarnated into somebody else that is overweight - him being overweight doesn't affect his ability to fight even a little bit and isn't even really commented on and the first chance they get they have a couple month time skip to him being in peak physical condition- like they established a setup but were not actually invested in exploring it , just getting from it to the plot they wanted in as little time as possible. I haven't got a training Arc or any real display of effort from the protagonist on screen as he lost weight offscreen and any technical skills he learns so far were things he either already knew or learned instantly from the magic system he just miraculously has, so it's missing that sense of effort present in most sports or fighting series that hook me. But I bailed at chapter 12 so this all may change.
TLDR. If you want like well-written characters or really flashy and exaggerated art or really fleshed out story maybe go elsewhere, if you just like well explained and presented relatively grounded, physical violence in a sports setting with the bare minimum setup to get you invested , this is absolutely for you.

That "its fine now because granny is here" is supposed to be heartfelt but it just came across as silly to me and it is entirely because I read it in an old woman voice and I don't know what it is about the line but it's just so silly To me, as far as everything else goes I don't actually care about ochacko one way or the other so most of this chapter just sort of bounced off of me emotionally, I see the aftermath of society changing is good I guess, I am just genuinely waiting for this to end at this point - maybe I'll reread this series one day and care more but as is that last Arc ,- the last two to three years of this manga - has left me entirely apathetic, good for you if you enjoy it though - I'm just somewhat tired of the whole thing at this point.

Oh no doubt that buff dude is going to die standing up like white beard at some point or another, mark my words.

Was the AI's plan to get that white hair dude to fight this Monk? cuz going by the flow of events and where people are currently placed that feels like what might happen.

Yeah he's made like four series and I've liked all of them, I just hope this will last longer than his last one.

I like everything but the system, I think I'm just sick of status screens in these series at this point.

Yeah this is one of those situations where the clearly evil antagonist has some kind of mental manipulation power so I'm holding my judgment until the end.

You put it into words, like I was reading this thinking "why does she look so off putting like something's off about her gaze?" But it's because she's in a constant state of locked in.

To be fair he spent more than half this series being fairly aimless. with his initial goal being survival, then quickly it transferred over to resource gathering/ information gathering sort of either try to find a way home or evidence of his family, then he just sort of wondered about doing odd jobs for a while. he only really started to sort of have a distinct goal after he got randomly summoned by the goddess into that war and then decided he's got to two-piece her up for that(among other things). I honestly think this Arc wouldn't be that bad and would kind of serve as a good framework to add some structure to this series for a bit if the series didn't update so slowly.
As for the "every series having a school ark for no reason" thing I think it's somewhat similar to why so many shounen series have a tournament Arc: it's a quick and easy way to provide an instantly pre-established structured Arc that's easily planable, introduces several interesting characters all at once, you can use it to easily draw in(or play with) well known tropes, and it serves as a good place to do some wheel spinning, it can either be a long Arc where several characters are introduced and fleshed out, or it could get " suddenly interrupted" by a big plot thing to cut it short whenever you need to. Plus it appeals to the demographic that they're often aiming for which is honestly people still in school or freshly out of school.

Ah yes the overlord dilemma, just when that series sort of caught up with the anime it dropped one season then another season within a couple months.
