Blade Skill Online: Crushing the Competition with My Abysmal Stats, Useless Class, and Garbage Weapon! - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - My first victory

[Zblurth]

Honestly that is definitely a couple times more creative than characters I'd create

I am in the same boat... maybe next time I need a caracter I will just go ask ChatGPT lol, look like IA can make cute anime girl just fine

Debatable

Anything is better than OSO. The first few chapters made me rage so much.
"Enchantment is useless because it has a short range so you need to be at the frontline but mage are backlines"Said the goddamn paladin with light magic.
"Earth is bad magic because first level is explosion" First, why explosion? Explosion is more of a fire type. And all the other magic get projectile at level 1, except the one that can easily be thown as a projectile even in real life. In addition, the second magic is creating a Goddamn wall. Backline never need protection, isn't it? So even as a secundary magic, it's highly useful.
"Cooking is unpopular, so let's add a whole hunger system that will totally change the way the game is played and potentially angering an huge part of the players, and that very early after release but not immediately" No seriously, any devs would have buffed the bonus from eating instead of adding a whole new game element. If you compare to "Toaru no Ossan" that also added a big change update but that made sense (Alchemy was not worth it because you could easily buy potions for cheap at NPCs -> Add a limit to the inventory of NPCs. There is no change to the gameplay but you need to buy from players now)

I know that stories bend rules to make them favorable to the MC, but here everything exist to favor the MC. In a sense, it's Mary/Gary Sue, everything turns around him/her

Blade skill online, absolutly don't use any Blade skill, come on it just SAO rip off no creativity at all. Atleast call it summoner online or just generic Japanese manga name "i accidently pick the worst job after reading it at troll post but turn out it is the strongest and i turn myself into a woman"

I mean, for something literally named sword art online, it is surprisingly different of a story when compared to sword art online This story looks more like a blend of bishoujo summoner and all the novels where mc is unlucky. And maybe OSO. And let's not forget genocide online where mc tames equipment-possession type monsters

Bahahaha

1. Picked Summoner and a Bow because some random site said it was the strongest.
2. Put literally every single status point into luck after saying luck doesn't exist in games because probabilities (pretty much same definition just a different word hah)
3. Random'd the character design.

Now.. where exactly is the much thought in that

I took #2 to mean(/be a poorl translation of) what is called a "dice deck". In games that use these, the rng is generally perceived more positively as random, rather than a vengeful spirit out to suck your lifeblood and then kick you some extra once you are down.

The way they work is simple, in that you essentially load a "deck" with the possible rolls, duplicates for outcomes such that the probabilities match with a dice. Then you duplicate this deck a couple times and shuffle it all together. Then, as you draw new dice rolls from the deck, the probabilities for those outcomes dynamically lower themselves, essentially 'loading' the dice to encourage more accurate odds, rather then some unlucky fella having 36.5 rolls in a row turn out as 1's, despite how unlikely that is for a d20.

Yeah but 0 in all other stats how is he supposed to kill anything? 0 x2 damage is still 0.

1. It's a little unclear in the manga, but he checked the beta report sites multiple times. But with his bad luck, he happened to check right at the times when the trolling misinfo about best builds was up.
2. Clearly he means that his real world bad luck won't exist in the game. The game's luck stat will exist instead.
3. Web novel says that his reasoning was that since his luck stat was so high in the game, then the RNG option would turn out really well. ... Which it did... other than the wrong sex bit.

 

[StormSen]

That info needs to be in the manga then, also even if her hand was covered in steel, her str is 0 so what would that change?

It is (at least somewhat), but the translator missed it. There's some background text when she punches where you can see "HP" which the effect of guts -- letting you survive a deadly blow, but leaving you with just 1 hp.

I think str 0 doesn't mean that her attacks have zero power, just that they're relatively low, and the living weapon was almost dead at that point.

The thing this has better than OSO is the mc having bigger tits.

This is a lot closer to Bofuri, but with a big titted, genderswapped, aneki style MC. Which makes her/him totally different from the MC of OSO.

This genre is "I chose the wrong skills, but I turned out to be OP after all". Don't expect game balance in these sorts of stories. That said, OSO is only a little unbalanced, vs BSO which is Bofuri level of unbalanced. Which is fine, what makes it fun is the characters and the way the "come from behind" story plays out. (And the BSO web novel is quite fun.)

I can see where you’re getting at, I can feel the that OSO is more laid back compared to this that already pitted the MC into a desperate situation already. Tho I’m mostly joking to what I said. I just really like Tits.

 

[feha]

Yeah but 0 in all other stats how is he supposed to kill anything? 0 x2 damage is still 0.

He had 0 in all other stats? I only remember that he put all free points in luck, nothing about removing the initial base stats. But I also kinda skimmed the manga as it was kinda... yeah. Meh if probably my best descriptor

To be honest it sounds like a name i would expect from some random MMO.

 

[PzArrow]

Oh its those "I did some random feat and I got a skill out of it" type of BS. Watch he's gonna accidentally achieve a rare feat which no player was able to do due to the stupidity of its conditions and he'll become OP and he'll say "thank god I dumped my stats to luck"

I mean, for as silly as this premise is, there is some precedence for this in video games. Back when I played Mabinogi years ago, Archery was the most powerful end game talent tree, by far. It was also one of the most grueling talents to level up and absolutely awful at.. well basically any point prior to end game. Seriously, it was the only combat style in the game that could flat out miss attacks for 0 damage with no recovery on the player's end. Pair that with lower damage than most other weapon types, exactly enough stun that a missed shot means enemies will rush you down, and Elves (whose whole thing was archery) having zilch durability, meant that I've literally enacted this very chapter back when I played. Complete with dropping my bow (either from lack of arrows or just sheer annoyance) and punching enemies to death.

To be fair, it wasn't all bad. I never played the game enough to properly get to the Endgame content, but archery did eventually at the very least balance out with the other Talents if not surpass them in some ways. Damage caught up, accuracy and player skill (read exploits) improved such that things like "attack speed" stopped being relevant, and the general utility of bows started shining through. I still fondly recall the time when finally in our annual PvP battle with my friend (who was a lot more invested in the game than I was) I was able to hard stunlock/instant kill them with basically no counter. Yeah, finally made up for the dozen or so times they did that to me prior.
