It's actually annoying how unaware he is, how long before he figures out how strong he is?
Or does he ever?
If he never figures out ima drop it

The MC's constant confusion of the "power levels" of monsters brings up a peculiar question here: How the fuck can the MC just assume that "really strong adventurers" can take on titans, giants? Does that not make him question the entire world around him?

I mean, imagine someone told you that he took on a bear. That's really fucking weird, but you might not think too much about it.
Now imagine they say they took on an elephant. Waht. No, no way.
And this isn't a problem that's exclusive to the MC, it makes one wonder how can any character really have any level of "common sense" when they have magic. It kinda throws everything out of the window.

TLDR: While the MC is clearly lacking common sense by thinking that people can take on literal giants, what is common sense with magic, even? What is a person's tangiable limit, if it's not just about "How big I am, how strong my muscles are, how much I trained my body in martial arts, etc".
Kinda remind me a writing-tip, where if you spot a "problem", solving it would be a good thing for the setting / story.

Other people can learn Adventurer skills like attack up, power slash, or giant strength. He thinks he's at the civilian level by comparison. Edit: despite the fact that he's the only construction worker carrying a house worth of building material on his shoulders at a time.

I was less asking for answers, and more posing the "issue" fantasy stories have, especially ones with "skills".
These sort of stories don't warrant so much thought, tbh, but the moment you have people with random "skills", what is the limit? And if there is no tangible limit, how does society function?
If we assume there are walking nukes about, how come we never see them? Is it not silly of the MC to just assume there are nukes, somewhere, but he never even gets a sniff of them? No famous top-dog who can cleave mountains apart, and split the seas? Nothing?

So, as I said in my previous comment -- I think these sort of "problems" can actually make a story pretty interesting, if the author actually focuses on them, derp. I just had that random shower thought, as the MC made even wilder assumptions about his reality.
For an instance, I dislike how in One Punch Man / Hero Academia, their cities get destroyed on a daily basis, yet it doesn't affect their daily lives / economy at all.
Having a natural disaster every single day should bankrupt a society. This is an "issue" inherent to the setting of the story, which could be an interesting problem to solve, narrative-wise.

Each of those have a hero/organization out there to erase the evidence, or make money off of the rapid reconstruction. That said, I think both Hero Academia and One Punch leave it up to the reader to notice that as the disparity between the rich and poor grows, you get more monsters, whether that be people getting dissatisfied to the point they transform, or getting snatched off the streets and turned into Noumu.

Someone has to pay the builders, that money comes ffom somewhere. That makes cities inherently unprofitable, if they get destroyed every week.

I actually think with these settings, especially OPM, the authors just didn't care about world building at all. The only base expectation was for people to not care about it.

They did though, Saitama was living in one of many abandoned cities, and even after they moved him into the Hero City complex, it was obvious that it was mostly a city for the rich and powerful and the heroes invited there were supposed to be unpaid backup security.

I don't think the mangaka understands how serious this actually is. What the elf dumbasses are trying to do is the kind of thing that would get their kingdom destroyed very quickly by everyone else out of self-preservation. There's a reason why shit like this has never flown in real life. In fact, revealing they had been lying for apparently years about this engagement would ruin their credibility in politics. They would be in deep shit.

What a stupid, commie nonsense thing to say. That isn't remotely what we see.
