I get that all of these stories basically play out the same, but I wish the author didn't take god knows how many chapters JUST to introduce all of the soon to be cannon fodder for the mc...
"Here's a villain, he's super influential and very powerful among his peers". Next chapter: "here's another villain, let's introduce him too." Next chapter: "I'll just have them boast about how strong and influential they are for a bit" next chapter: "still boasting" next chapter: "Here's another villain, let me introduce him now" JUST GET ON WITH IT ALREADY.
At the start it was said that being at a certain level would make a person a genius, respected by all. As soon as he reached that, stronger people showed up and he was once again treated as trash. This repeated over and over again. Now he's at the point where, if he were at the start of the story, he'd be the most powerful person the people he knew had ever known. But of course...where he is now, everyone around him is of equal or greater strength. So he was, is, and will be, a trash person in other people's eyes wherever he goes.
I get why this is happening. But moving the goalpost whenever the MC gets a power boost is getting annoying. Just...for the love of god...let the MC have his moment of being powerful for once. Even if it's only in a single city. Show that he's actually grown stronger. Don't just surround him with people that think he's trash no matter how strong he gets...
Then sadly you will have to wait til the next of the LN or in this case manhua. That is when he will stand at the pinnacle. This is a Wuxia novel and that is the basic jist of the storyline. Everything he has to go through in order to get stronger.
I think the main guy in this manhua is more hard working than talented. The manhua several times expresses how his sister is the talented one, but he never gives up. It's when he finds the guide he has now that he learns how to progress quicker even if he isn't particularly talented in summoning power. Now that he has trained with more efficient methods, he is this strong. I agree he should get his chance in the spotlight though, it's annoying how people keep trashing him from envy because he ended being a dark horse.
All of his allies are worried and want him to lay low because they can only see him as a golden core stage. Is it really that impossible for him to just say "I'm actually X stage, but suppressing my cultivation for Y reason"? But nope...instead all he ever tells them is "they're like flies to me, don't worry!" How are they supposed to believe you when all they can see is a golden core cultivator?
Then again...every single time he said he could handle something, he could. Even though every single time as well, no one believed him beforehand. So I guess they're all complete morons too, as they refuse to learn from past mistakes/errors in judgement.
The world's top brass messes with Lee and he decides to just walk up to them and kill them. xD I know it's pure power fantasy, but how many people here have at least at some point wished they could do the same to the world's worst criminals, and most corrupt politicians and rich? Just go "fuck you, you're a blight on this planet, now you're dead." :)
I know for a fact that the real world's top people would also be like these guys. Going all "you can't touch us, we have influence and political power!", completely forgetting that against actual, absolute power their influence and political power means jack shit. :P
Family keeps being rude and trash talking right to his face. And all he does is just stand there and take it. Chapter after chapter of this already. But no, of course he's not allowed to prove himself yet. The author wants to have more people trash talk the mc first. So now some medicine clan is being brought in.
And we all know how that will go. Noone believing in mc, putting faith in the medicine guy instead while constantly insulting mc (this part will take at least 4~5 chapters), medicine guy not being able to cure the uncle in the end, then mc stepping in and curing the poison easily to show how amazing he is. Medicine guy will either just be humiliated and leave, or attack the mc for "the great offense" of being better at medicine and be killed.
And then we're off to the next scene with different characters but the exact same plot...
Lol its typical (is that the right word??) in these type of webtoon but u still can't stop reading it! Hehe (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ ╮(￣▽￣)╭
At least other webtoons like this mix it up a little bit, or keep the pace fast enough (as in, no 5+ chapters of "he's trash, haha!" before a conclusion) to keep it interesting.
I can see Tatsuya's reasoning. A bunch of teenagers were summoned there against their will, and expected to put their life on the line for strangers in another world. I'd be royally pissed off as well. You can compare it to being kidnapped, and being forced to fight and kill others in underground fighting rings. No reasonable person would just go "Okay! I'll fight for you!" It's just that his methods are incredibly selfish and evil as all hell.
Yeah, but the fact that he was calm enough to plan so much just means he actually just acted on partial information. Sure you want to go back but you got to know more to actually have a chance to succeed unless he has a super OP ability.
What I'm wondering about the most is how does he know that leveling up will mean he can get the ability to return to his own world. Like, is there a book somewhere? Did he hear it from someone else? (which would be shady) Did he just make an assumption?
Another supposedly OP MC who turned into a passive follower of his own servants, being dragged around to wherever they decide. The manga tries to hide it, but it's clear to me anyway. At least he has a bit of a personality, but yea...going to drop this. I don't want to read about these kinds of MCs anymore.
Shut up shut up shut uuuuupppp! Several fucking chapters of just rambling back and forth already! And now a new person is called to "kill the mc"?! Just fucking kill them already you fucking asshole!!
If you cut out all of the rambling back and forth that happens EVERY FUCKING TIME this manwha would have been 40 chapters long at MOST so far!
haha ikr
Now it's simply getting ridiculous with how drawn out the conflict is... some gang leader gets called to deal with mc, and what happens? First a full chapter of the baddies patting each other on the back on how "amazing" they are, and now another full chapter dedicated to the same, and the baddies exchanging gifts?! Really?! Did they forget that they were called there to beat someone up?! Who the fuck acts like this in real life? I'm a chapter or two away from just dropping this bullshit now...
By the way, or has now been 14 chapters since these bad family members arrived at mc's place... 14... fucking... chapters...
I had already dropped this but got nothing else to read and it's update notification came daily so decided to give it a second chance but NO it's pure shit.
Finally that idiot Mori arrives, after half the earth has basically already been destroyed. >.> Good god this author really likes to drag the story on and make things more and more "hopeless" before finally having the MC return doesn't he. Same happened with the battle of the gods.
