You might be on point here but we also have to understand for which purpose we are reading this."your effort is important only to you"
Yes, me, the reader. Nah. ANY reader. Because progress without effort appears illogical.
For example unlike you i've gotten attached to this MC, or more like i like the general direction. That's why i said it's subjective.
For some reason i don't have that powder anymore, i don't like Naruto, Hajime no Ippo and etc. types of manga about strength and effort.
I seek less action type of manga and mostly when MC's are OP action/fighting is minimal and it's more about other stuff other than fighting. I don't like to invest my time to something that has 3-5 chapters of fighting. That's not me.
And before you think i'm some sort of chess loving or book loving type who never done anything physical.
During my whole 20's and large amount of my teens i've been doing martial arts (karate, jiu-jitsu), i've been even working in law enforcement. I don't care about the struggles, it is true that with effort and struggles you can achieve more but its also true that someone can just get lucky. I care more about the path and choices you make not your struggles, i will not respect someone more if they struggled to get somewhere but i will understand them more.
Well to be honest i just seek more like slice of life genres with PEACE as the main trigger, i get tired just by watching those "struggles". It's like reliving burnout syndrome.
All of the WILL POWER, PAIN AND SWEAT type of literature just turns me off, i've been through that i don't want to remember that anymore. Training until you feel nothing but your heart beating, 0 strength in every fiber, stomach acid wanting to go out and sweat salting your eyes......Those types of trainings or altercations eat up your health in the future, i admire smart people who had moderate and correct training regime who can smile in their 60's without swearing that their every joint is in pain. (I wasn't one of those smart ones, i was willing to damage my health to achieve something that wasn't even so important as my future health).
