I've Become Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I can't Seem to Get out of Being Jobless - Ch. 90

Even after reading the novel, this is too sad, but guys, keep in mind that she gave him something 🫠

Yeah sorry I dont feel it. This is the second time in the story when MC just cums out all his magic at once and thus he jeopardizes everything and puts everyone in danger because the story needs tension. This time with super sekrit dragon shout power sprinkled on top. I bet that he will learn nothing from this experience either.

I read this mainly for the SoL parts, but the fact that MC is constantly gamed by everybody around him is getting really tiresome (didn't read the wn, but its obvious ever since the whole muh too weak to join talk that this entire expedition was a set up). Anybody knows a harem story where mc isnt only overpowered but also competent?

This has been pretty well foreshadowed that she more than accepts her coming death, and doesn't really believe in the repair plan. It's boring if everything always works out for the MC, even if it's a cheat isekai. It keeps things interesting and progresses character development.

The real complaint should be if she survives, which is much more likely for this genre.

Wait a minute.. that thing she put in His pocket...

Oh Frak, Did she pull a Spock and transfer her Katra before she went "Kaboom!" ???

:'c
so, will it be the same or a new one with the old memories?

ps: where is the spoiler clan?

i logged in just to say SCREW THE AUTHOR ON THIS ONE. that was not a death that was needed. i am normaly all for deaths of chars as that is reality and often leads to better world building but i just dont see the point to this one.

 

[Erbakhan]

NOOOOOOOO NOT SHEENA
WHYYYYY

 

[spauldo]

Ten bucks says her new body has an older appearance and she becomes yet another harem member.

 

[Godc0re]

Well this is a good place to drop it. If a few more chapters come out I'll just skim through to check if they Deus Ex her back, but it doesn't look like that's the plan. Even with the totally-not-a-memory-card she gave him.

 

[Roriipupper]

FUCK

 

[Hydranium123]

It's a terrible day for rain

Thanks for the chapter, Silas.

To be totally frank, I don't really care if Sheena dies; I've been totally detached from her character from the moment she showed up--which can be said of a number of the new residents of Ichinojou's World, including a certain old one. However, I do disagree with--as I long have--with the idea of likable character death to build gravitas or force weeping. I've seen it happen so many times in stories, and each time it was only to make people wax emotional--and each time was an assertion of a concept I've emphatically repudiated for as long as I can remember: that a story only has value if it's miserable, bears some kind of misery, or is otherwise negative.

Things already haven't worked out perfectly for Ichinojou, but he's been able to overcome his obstacles nevertheless. I don't see a problem with this, and it's telling that many people (I am not referring to you, mind) today only see quality in an MC who not only struggles constantly, but loses or is placed in a losing position frequently. There is surely a difference between an MC boringly given constant, effortless victory by the author and an MC who always wins--but works to do so.

Sheena's death doesn't bring anything at all to the story, just darkness and grief. It was set up well enough, but I don't remember anything that necessitated her self-sacrifice. Her death is, as of this chapter and as far as I know, pointless, and her staying dead would accordingly be meaningless. Therefore, if Sheena survives, I would not mind it.
