Rather than the "pulled out of nowhere" meaning of ass-pull, I'm using it in the "failed to properly back it up" sense. The sister has a pathological hatred of the MC but states outright that she doesn't "remember why". Therefore, she has no reason for her actions beyond the story labeling her...

I'm not sure why you are feeling personally insulted by a (admittedly half-assed) two year old comment, so I would like to point you to chapters 1.2 and 3.3 to start off. In the later, the previous heads are having a heated argument on why Lyle is not a suitable heir. Not just because he is...

So, the manga continued until chapter 21 instead of 17 like I had predicted. That's honestly more confusing since we had several chapters of meaningless fights in between the time skip (why the hell was this a thing?) and the final chapter. However, by far the most wild "plot twist" this...

As Gonron Egg is almost certainly getting axed in a few weeks (likely by chapter 17), let's take this work as a model of what NOT to do for a weekly shonen battle manga: Do not fill the first half dozen chapters with villains of the week Do not wait 10 chapters to introduce the supporting cast...

I hate to be "that guy", but that is basically like saying "at least the sun rose today". It was never going to end a different way. Even though the last chapter spent a sizeable chunk of it's time implying the MC was dead, it was just a fake out to milk some drama before jumping into a happy...

I checked out around the same time but looked back ever now and then. Unfortunately it didn't really go anywhere and the author clearly new this. They had setup for this license exam to be full hunters/ninja/etc. with a bunch of new characters getting introduced. Then a few chapters later the...

We've finally reached the end of this travesty of a manga. When this first came out I was more excited for a series then I'd been in years. Something that broke the mold, turned a genre on it's head. Instead, what we got was: 1. A super hero who lost his secret identity 1/4 of the way through...

No, absolutely not. Considering how the author is going for the most surface level example of "People are shitty, especially on the internet" it's not surprising they did. The little sister has ALREADY been reduced to a plot device meant to justify the MC being an asshole to people who "deserve...

Calling a mangaka a "comedic genius" is high praise considering the legacy of classic manga series that have spanned generations. Let's see what else he's done.... Checks Mangadex and other sites Hmm, not much. That's a One Piece spin off, that's a 3 chapter series, and that's...."Mamore...

The story boarding on these panels is atrocious. Take chapter 4 for instance: The MC is staring at some crystals, alone in the dungeon. On the very next page he's secretly tailing some mysterious cloaked figures, saying "Where did they come from?" About 3-4 panels got lost in the sketching...

Author: "Hm, after reading the synopsis it sure feels like my main character is just a trust fund baby that got kicked out on his ass after someone actually appropriate for the job came along. I got it! His sister will just be the most blatant cartoonishly evil villain imaginable. Boom, power...

Whoooooh! Captain Damsel is finally rescued and so the Kaiju spend two chapters staring at and slapping each other! What could possibly make this series any better? Why, a month long break of course!!!!

So Kafka thinks he can win because he spent a few weeks learning how to throw a punch. Even when he's up against the monster that beat/absorbed the guy who created said fighting style and can now probably use it. Sure, that tracks for this manga.

Why introduce some vague issue with the MC's body in the last chapter if it had no impact on his ability to see Star (the whole point/theme of this chapter), and make a show of how easy it was to fix a few pages later? It works for short stories like doujinshi, but not a serialized manga. That...

For those that haven't heard, the web novel ended in February 2024. It finished on chapter 1308, of which the current manga chapter (ch 74) I would roughly guess to be around 130. I've read a large portion of the web novel and the first few light novels. While never straying far from the isekai...
