"your effort is important only to you"

Yes, me, the reader. Nah. ANY reader. Because progress without effort appears illogical.
You might be on point here but we also have to understand for which purpose we are reading this.
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).

I am aware. I originally had a post where I admitted to knowing that now, and also detailing why it's not possible to sleep through strenuous exercise because the neurochemistry is literally contradictory—GABA's role in muscle inhibition during regular sleep is directly contrary to abrineurin (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) which appears to directly counter GABA's effect and acetylcholine which functions as an important component of "waking up" by enhancing alertness and attention, both of which are neurochemicals involved in exercise. But I deleted that message because I realized the author can just claim "it's magic, so it works like I say" and brush aside any legitimate criticisms based in logic. But at least now you know a little bit about the actual science behind why this idea wouldn't work. 🤷‍♂️
I think that's a fine reason to have immersion broken. Like we're definitely in a handwaving with magic type of situation, and it's definitely his specialty. Even so I definitely get where you're coming from in this discussion.

Fair enough, though my argument really only applies to the normal, book nerds, fit-boxers, etc. 'cause they outnumber us by a good margin.

Hell, even I don't like fights lasting forever, no DBZ for me neither. I just want, some, sense to be made in fighin'.

Ohhhhh. You're from the old heads. I know you guys, entered the fight late enough to cross train but too early to have 'rest' be a vital part of the training. Ha ha, sounds like hell honestly.

Your taste makes sense. I don't read 'gang' manga cause we got plenty in my home country. I know a good deal of people who read manga to escape from their reality, hell, 'donghua' is basically just people desperately running away from their lives as 9-9 factory workers in industrial china. Ya ain't less for it. Nobody wants to be reminded of their frustrations when they're trying to relax. Everyone chases that which they don't yet have.

Hope you find your peace eventually.

Syrup is a gift from the gods.

That being said, this one is solid so far. They spent ample time setting up the foundation and established the characters introduced fairly well. I’m loving the dynamics of how they all interact. Academy arc should be great given how it’s been executed so far. We haven’t seen the MC flex much yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing more for sure.

Long chapters are great too. Sad that it’s a 2 month wait each time but the plot is moving along at a great speed.

Looks like a solid story. The concept is strong and, outside of a few parts that seem like author is leaning into wish-fulfillment, pretty good execution. Most villain reincarnation stories have this very meh plot development of going from trash to generic-protagonist. The also seem to obsess over the original story line. This MC feels like more of a character, embracing his “slothful” self and his desire to hang out with the story’s main cast because he’s genuinely a fan of the original game.

Interesting that the LN gets bad reviews. Wonder if it’s genuinely deserved or some nonsense about disagreeing with how the character acts. Could definitely imagine issues like all non-MC characters being portrayed as dumb (although that issue is everywhere in the genre). Though complaining about his reason for getting married or for how he treats her seems like some weird nonsense, at least from the manga so far.

Mostly though, I enjoy seeing a character’s traits clearly defined and seeing where the story takes them. MC is lazy, a tiny bit selfish, but generally a good person. And the story does a good job painting the picture of who he is. Plus, “working hard to be lazy” is a fun theme.

I think it was really interesting but it's another Harem+ Polygamy romance. Why can't we have more normal stuff
Not really harem but I do think it's a stretch. Adding too many female casts I won't really question the authors poor choices on the matter however it's concerning on the what the story would lead to if it even continues...
