7th page, manager got jacked but Chikura got buffed like 3 sizes. I see you, author.

Aw man, I thought the reason for depression was probably like a previous corporate job that was too stressful, but don't tell it was a divorce or worse his wife died.

I'm half with Chikura and half with manager here. Some works I just skip straight to the spicy part but once in a while I'll come across ones that has a pretty decent set-up and understanding why they're doing the deed makes it even more enjoyable.

This shit was so peak when I was still a grade schooler and it's still peak now.

You see him receiving the two axes from the blacksmith, you see him accepting the request to deal with the goblins attacking that village right after reporting about said incident, then very next chapter you see him carry that same pair of axes he just received and you are aware of the fact he's on his way back to the village, like how much more build up do you need? Maybe 30 whole chapters of fucking fillers perhaps?

Also he literally reported to the guild that the village is overran by goblins, he even told the scout girl that guild parties are on the way, the reason he's going solo is because he's the only one who can get back to the village in time to do damage control. Again how.much.more build up or exposition do you need when all the necessary information are already there and the conclusion isn't even that hard to figure out? Maybe the manga wouldn't be so boring if you had actually taken the time to read it instead of skimming through everything and just look for pretty illustrations.

Damn, MC really ran all the way from the town back to the village, like full-sprint running, this time with added weight like the two axes and armor and then without rest jumped straight into a slaughter fest.

You can literally see the sweats on him, which combines with last chapter where he's literally just sprinting over rivers and hills to get back to the village where he rescued Arwyn from, and you can very easily form the conclusion that this is just something that he came across on the way. Maybe next time instead of blaming something as "rushed", don't rush reading yourself first.

Nope. MC is literally just on his way back to the village he rescued Arwyn from, basically sprinting full speed ajd only gets distracted by things he can kill on the way, like this one.

Brother, either spell the word out properly or check your grammar again because I had a hard time trying to understand what you commented.

Second of all, I don't know about that whole "90%" but I'm pretty damn sure no story are as egregious as all these cookie cutter settings that Japan has been churning out since the last decade or so. You are familiar with the concept of Chekhov's gun, yes? In that if Chekhov has his gun on the table then he must fire it sooner or later, because all details in a story are intentional. Well, in the case of these "failure" story the Chekhov's gun gets discharged prematurely. Because all issues pertaining to the "failure" part of the story gets resolved almost as soon as, if not even before, they are mentioned. Oftentimes with extremely blatant and convenient plot device.

Like just this story for example. Alchemist is a failure job. Oh but the main character "secretly" possesses a second skill that makes being Alchemist just uber ultra super OP. Basically the "failure" element of the story is now completely out of the picture with zero consequences or lasting effect, as if it never existed in the first place, at which point why even bother having it at all?

To me, Shield Hero and Arifureta are the two that started it all with this trend, but at least those two makes sense. Then with each new series into the genre the logic behind it just becomes more and more retarded. Especially with the offshoot of this trope, "Main character is [trash/garbage/failure/whatever derogatory word of your liking] and is expelled from [insert prestigious family/well-known adventure party name here]". These are even more egregious because a character is immediately labeled as failure for... reason.

My main gripe with these tropes is that the supposed "failure" part is used like a sales pitch by dishonest salesman. They try to sell you a supposed underdog rising to power story, but then said underdog-ness is resolved in basically the first chapter by very blatant and convenient plot device. Just like that one Dragon Tamer series. Oh, the skill is useless because there's no dragon left in the worl- literally chapter 1, dude found a dragon.

Japanese authors, can we please drop it with this whole "failure" skill/job/ability etc already? I have read the first chapter because the art looks decent and the family actually subverted my expectations for supporting the fmc instead of treating her like a stain on their name. With just that this could be a nice fluffy heartwarming story but the "failure" part in the summary really soured the mood.

Like it's just so dumb because all stories of this vein always without fail immediately prove that said "failure" skill/job/ability is, in fact, not a failure at all, most of the time in the 2nd chapter if not right in the first one.

To be fair to Vergil, he seriously did not know he has a son for... whatever reason. My man really Judgement Nut so fast he even forgot he nutted. But beside that his nuances still center around his thirst for power, whereas asshole right here so far has just been "intentionally asshole".

I probably would've liked this manga more if author made the glasses guy the main character instead but oh well, god forbids the self-insert protagonist has even the tiniest distinctive feature to himself.

What is this bs?





Where is Sanae sitting in The Chair?????

They ARE op. That's why they get auto-balanced by matchmaking and is never near the objective.

They're too OP so they always get auto-balanced out by matchmaking. Can't have shit in this age of PvP, man.

Or they just simply vanish from everyone's memories, even their family or loved ones, forever. Just like with the gym, a massive building like that can just disappear in an instant yet nobody beside those already in the game seem to care or even notice its existence, like in their mind if it's there then it has always been there and when it's gone nothing has ever been there.

"Komi isn't good eaten raw"

I mean, i'm sure Obinata would beg to differ.

The way Rou just casually skates backward with a deadpan face every time just cracks me up.

I don't know what changed between the December and February chapter, but I'm kinda unsure about this whole "99% banter, 1% action" direction of these last 3 chapters. The explosive Maga guy at least made for an actual fight even with the security guard kinda butting in and causing trouble for Alma, but the last guy author really had two new characters show up only to get mauled in two pages, and then the guy himself died in less than 2 chapters since his first appearance.
