Level 0 no Munou Tansakusha to Sagesumarete mo Jitsu wa Sekai Saikyou desu: Tansaku Ranking 1-i wa Nazo no Hito - Ch. 13

There it is! Forced delusions by the MC. Another one for the Isekai/fantasy slop checklist

So, what - he's just not gonna actually speak up about wanting to fight as well?

The longer that goes on, the worse it's gonna be for all of them, because they'll also likely feel like shit if he bottles it up and lets it fester until the truth comes out at the worst possible time in the most toxic way.
And now that his weird skill whatsit is talking to him again, I can't help but imagine more hardship will be on the way. Continuing this reluctance to be upfront and honest might become actively dangerous, in that event.

The annoying thug type putting them down gets old, wanna see him let lose on that moron curious about the voice

Man, I am sad we’re back to the MC losing confidence in himself. He was good for a while but of course the misunderstanding between him and the FMC’s sidelining him will of course grow until they talk about it. It’s also constantly frustrating to hear people rag on him wherever they go and the girls just get mad but don’t ever do anything about it because he tells them to relax.

He says he’s used to it but hearing that everywhere has GOT to put some shit all over his shoulders. Even moreso than in the past. I get that the inner turmoil is probably going to be a revolving theme for a long time but it gets hard to read sometimes.

I hope this resolves soon or there’s at least a tournament arc or something that showcases his strength at least a little bit.

Thanks for the translation!

Apart from that inner turmoil/lack of self confidence trope being used a bit too often/long (yes, long-term bullying, etc.) it's quite annoying that he gets away with showing extreme anger at people being abusive against his female friends, as well as saying they should disregard any such things aimed at him ...

unfortunately even after the latest volume of the light novel it's still the same i think this guy is just genuinely retarded and has zero self-awareness

This^ finally someone who gets it. Like I totally get being tired of a trope, but every reply in this thread so far is all bitching as to why this MC isn't instantly over his trauma. Like yeah this isn't high art on the level of Frieren but this actually has a purpose. Context is important him not speaking up doesn't come out of nowhere and its a deeply rooted thing after years of being looked down on, he isn't suddenly going to get over it. The girls also don't know him well enough yet to really understand what he's thinking in these moments and the next chapter or few chapters will probably have them talk it out. We're still in the growth phase of these character give it time.

that's fair but it gets to a point where is just becomes annoying especially when you thought some "character development" happens the character still acts on the same script as if nothing really happened at all and it's just getting so annoyingly repetitive how it all comes back a full circle

I don't fucking care how much you try to defend this annoying trope this is just one of the things that you SHOULD avoid doing when writing a story- this is just bad writing
