How tf did this win an award?

Probably because every other Novel that was participating to get an adaptation was worse than this? lol, though the award winning tag shouldn't be here for the manga, since it was the WN that won

If anyone curious here are the winners and applications, though this was a couple of years ago, it just now got the adaptation from winning lol

I have bad news for you...


Tinfoil hat conspiracies aside, 90% of these are adaptations of web novels published on syosetu, which is equivalent to fanfiction.net but in japanese. As much as we can appreciate the effort of someone who goes out of its way to write a whole book and give it away for free, there is only so much you can expect from an amateur.

Copy/paste the title in Japanese guys... you will get the link to the web novel... This novel is exactly an example of what Gipo is saying... Short chapters and a short story...

"Muscle power"? Am I in the right series?

Déjà vu

Please, I need her to buy his bull, COMMIT to the bit, and end up changing archetypes to buff tomgirl aesthetic.

With how generic everything is, I doubt it, but still.

Is that really the best excuse he could come up with? Is there any basis on that or did he just pull it out of his ass?

He couldn't say something as simple as "magic"? Like the school they're going into that revolves around that subject?

hey wait a minute i dont think thays how muscles work buddy

When the girl and everyone else around him figure out it isn't actually muscles:

Makes sense. Though the fact that the publishers greenlight these and don't make efforts to get the authors to change the story to make them a bit more unique is a bit infuriating. Or maybe I am just too sensitive to this stuff.

Yet another slop power fantasy with no tension that will go nowhere and likely not hit 20 chapters before getting axed.

Bookmarked.

We know what we like, and what we like is garbage.

It’s like this was storyboarded with tropes printed on cards that were tossed in the air and written where they fell. It’s almost as impressive as it is boring. A shame that the art is decent.

Makes sense. Though the fact that the publishers greenlight these and don't make efforts to get the authors to change the story to make them a bit more unique is a bit infuriating. Or maybe I am just too sensitive to this stuff.

The greenlight is mostly because of economic reasons: isekai with harems are popular, this story has isekai and harems, it will become popular and give us money. Publishers also have various ways to cover for unsuccessful works so they have no reason to stop the "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" technique.
As for changing the story, some publishers do, some don't and out of those that do some make it worse, so it's a huge hit or miss.

Meh, seems like Fast Food Level Manga.
Sadly I enjoy Fast Food.

"let's make a problem just to fix it in the same chapter + savior mc" aah trope, this is just "i like him because he's nice" with extra steps

So what happens when she uses up that power? Are you going to be her battery for the rest of her life?

 

[BigPoppaEffy]

I'm sorry, what?! Muscle power!? I get he was put on the spot but c'mon, that was dumb AF

 

[Valhalla_101]

How do you have low magic power but a large magic capacity. It makes sense to naturally fill your magic capacity but that’s not the case. Training to increase your magic power would normally just increase your magic capacity as well, like it’s normally to increase capacity not power. Power would be familiarizing yourself with a magic spell for faster casting and putting more strength into it, maybe even improving the spell.

So will we have a "oh nyo i must hide! I cast a small little fireball that only one teacher will notice is super OP and thus get into F class" or "oh nyo, i must hide! I cast a small little fireball that turns out to be a 500x500 km with the temperature of the SUN, thus getting into S class!"

 

[Crisisninjax]

Wow he really filled her up. Nice to see an assertive MC for once!
