I really appreciate that there's been six chapters released so far this month, but damn they're short!

10 years old this year and still under a hundred chapters? Who picks these titles up knowing they'll obviously never end?

I got to say, I'm not enjoying morally conflicted Kitami worrying about whether aliens are people or not. Him just being a perpetual wet blanket on Nomamoto's shenanigans is wearing thin. This manga was better when it was trashy privileged aliens treating people like scum and being secretly killed and eaten by the unapologetic protagonists.

Totally forgot about that, thanks.

Man, I'd have gone back into that house, and pulled a Mobile Suit Gundam on the front door, boom boom boom!

Who the fuck you think you're playin' with woman! Who do you think I am, some Top Ramen Noodle? I ain't no Top Ramen Noodle, I'm... I'm Sakuma-sensei. That's what I tell you, and *Sakuma-sensei* ain't putting up with that bullshit.

She be cryin', you know, "So desu Sakuma-sensei, prease take-a me back, prease, it was onree one time!" I'm gonna "one time" your ass!

Sakuma-sensei is the master of his fate, the ruler of his destiny. So if you want to cry on someone's shoulder, why don't you cry on Super Megami Tensei! As for Sakuma-sensei, I'm fit, lit, and I damn sure ain't takin' no dishonoru. So you... can get the FUCK. OUT.

That's what I'd have told the baka. That's what I'da *told* the baka.

Interesting. Is there an explanation for how/why he was specifically cursed?

I got to about Chapter 120 before I gave this up. The author couldn't betray his vision fast enough for this manhwa. The premise is that there's a highschool with a bullying epidemic, so the faculty decide to hire some 20 year old guy to pretend to be a highschooler ala Jump Street and go beat the bullies up. Fair enough.

The MC never loses. Not only does he never lose, he never really seems challenged. The most legendary and epic fighters in the comic all go down without any difficulty. The overpowered MC tag is correct here. You almost start rooting for the bullies. "Is this legendary undefeated master of martial arts finally going to be able to slightly hurt the main chara- nope, they instantly lost too."

Anyhow, the premise wears thin eventually, so they sort of just drop the bully plot. Eventually the plot pivots toward being about underground fight clubs and magic drugs that make you an invincible fighter, but also the MC happens to be the magical guy who doesn't need the drugs to achieve enlightenment and become invincible and blahblahblah. You can really tell the author is just making it up as he goes along. I'm guessing he got the contract to make this bullying manhwa, realized the story was reaching a natural conclusion and just started making crazy stuff up to keep dragging it out. It doesn't need the some 170 chapters it has now, and probably won't need the 300+ when you're reading this review in a couple of years. But I bet he milks this forever - or until they stop paying him to.

Y'know, I've had my suspicions about why he alone seems to have the eternally regressing ability. The world is full of slow-learning and talentless swordsmen, what makes Encrid so special? Maybe he's not totally human? We're due for a deeper dive into his origins.

I need to stop reading these week to week. When you're binging a hundred chapters at a time, you don't notice how little content each individual chapter has. But when you read them the day you come out, it's always so disappointing that almost nothing happened and you have to wait another whole week.

I decided to see if it was true and read a few dozen more chapters, and feel like I got bamboozled. It didn't just stay bad, it got worse.

He's still alone. There's almost no dynamic with other people whatsoever. He does start running into monsters, sure, and even gets the ability to converse with them. But he largely doesn't and 99% of the dialogue is still him talking to himself.

Now, like every other chapter is a timeskip to years in the future so the current content gets trivialized with constant reminders that he's in no danger and will survive every engagement because they won't let you forget that he's chilling eight years in the future doing the same thing.

I thought maybe it was just me who was irritated by it, but every chapter is flooded with comments from people dropping it for exactly that reason.

The premise here was a fun one, taking a too-hard difficulty that slows progression and it would've been fine as part of a larger story. But it's too niche to make the entire series revolve around it, and you can tell the author is having that problem. He wants to tell a story about an apocalypse back on earth, and what the purpose of the "tutorial" is. But he locked himself into this paradigm by making the comic all about the tutorial and it's starting to reek of the author being bored of the concept.

Celebrate the 100th chapter with 101!

"One cannot defend himself against the ((Alien)). He attacks with lightning speed from his position of safety and uses his abilities to crush any attempt at defense.

Quickly he turns the attacker’s charges back on him and the attacker becomes the liar, the troublemaker, the terrorist. Nothing could be more mistaken than to defend oneself. That is just what the ((Alien)) wants. He can invent a new lie every day for the enemy to respond to, and the result is that the enemy spends so much time defending himself that he has no time to do what the ((Alien)) really fears: to attack. The accused has become the accuser, and loudly he shoves the accuser into the dock. So it always was in the past when a person or a movement fought the ((Alien))."

What? No. I'm talking about the big-nose aliens leveraging a past catastrophe that some extremists suspect never actually happened, to assume parasitical positions of control in finance, government and media in a civilization that they did not build. And the world at large seems to be growing "fatigued" with their nepotistic antics.

Expelled from 109 planets and yet it's never the aliens' fault.

Maybe the true ending is the friends we made along the way.

I always feel like I never got enough when these chapters end. I guess that means they're doing it right where you always want more.

The hair change makes him look like he went from a soldier in the military to a Shonen protagonist. Which I guess he sort of did.

Something tells me that User-8520969107 is probably of the (((alien persuasion))) himself given how angrily and insistently he's trying to fight everyone in the comments.

I don't mind a timeskip, but acquiring deus ex powers and abilities while skipped is lame. Also, the art is different. Not necessarily worse, but noticeably different. I'm not sold on this new season.
