You name two titles that are actually good to defend liking this bullshit?
You are one of the few people who actually say they're good instead of just trash. I read a lot of gate stories, I'm used to a lot. I don't drop much and those were examples people have called "bad and irredeemable" so excuse me.

You’re excused, and wrong.

The reason why this story is so frustrating to read is because author is unable to write a good plot, so they artificially create plot progression and mystery by choosing to make all the characters hide information. Astaroth hides information, Karvis hides information, MC hides information. Demon contracts all doesn't state the price upfront before the contract is made. Instead of proper communication, nothing is shared so it seems like characters are just being dragged around all over the place.

And not sure if the webtoon chose to skip explanation from the novel but we aren't told that Karvis could fuse or alter skills, it just suddenly appear in the story. Author also tries their best to nerf the MC by making him not use or level his other skills like mana absorption which should absolutely be OP against boss or elite monsters who are a chunk of mana. If he could use mana explosion on monsters' mana, why isn't he able to absorb them? At the beginning of the story it was said MC could learn new skills by fulfilling conditions or repeating certain actions but this seems to have been forgotten almost immediately.

Alot of readers always complain that MC is dumb but honestly it's more of dumb writing from the author since all the other characters are the same. Every time there's a fight where MC have to save his comrades or strangers, they just stand around in shock while MC blocks the hits instead of running away or helping to fight back. Everyone literally has negative plot armor in this story. Just compare the actions of other characters in the story to MC and you will soon realize everyone is pretty much the same in IQ. Shame that even visuals can't help support the series since it just got downgraded in season 3.

Really not sure why you rated a 4 year old post of mine as "dumb" when it seems we pretty much agree about this story and the post you gave a negative rating I was having a conversation with someone and trying to give MC the benefit of the doubt in that situation although overall hating this story for much of the reasons you listed and dropped it long, long time ago.

And before you get mad at my retaliation rating, read this on my profile:

"So, figure I'd put this here: I don't appreciate logging on to find that someone gave me one of the few silly negative reactions on super old posts. If you do that to me, I will, yes out of spite, go find one of your posts and give it a negative reaction. If I get a negative reaction in real time during the conversation I'm having or when I initially made the post...fine...I'm cool. But if months have past and you're pillaging the forums and stick me with a negative reaction then expect me to go pillaging posts and do the same. Don't turn around and get mad about it, either."

Salt much? I wasn't 'pillaging' the forums, I started reading this series from chapter 1 to the latest release today. And as I've said, MC isn't dumb in my books, the writing is against him and all the other characters in the series.

If you're reading something from 2021, a super old conversation, yes that's pillaging. This forum has been around for a while and I read manga, manwha, etc. from old chapter uploads to recent ones and pillage forums to see what people talked about and occasionally may find a comment I didn't like or agree with that's super old. You know what I don't do? I don't give them a stupid negative rating. I just move on cause their conversation was in the past and I wasn't there.

Anyways, a Writer writing MC as dumb = MC is dumb. You can try to argue with semantics "it's the writer that did it" no duh. And we can play the stupid negative ratings game all you want.

Wow, gatekeeping chapter comments are we? Can't accept that people think you have a dumb opinion then don't comment on chapters. When everyone is acting out of expectation then nobody stands out, apparently that's a hard concept for you to grasp.

No, I think it's lame to give a stupid negative rating on an old conversation. I specifically said I don't do it to others. I have my principle about this. Deal with it. You just don't like that I reacted and said something to you about it. I said I'm perfectly fine with people giving me a negative rating in real time, but giving a negative rating to an old comment that's 4 years old is like resurrecting the topic. Just read, dislike, move on. Not that hard to do.

And I see you made a whole post reporting me for harassment when I could pretty much say the same for you. Personally I think the forum should prevent people from reacting to super old posts. Most forums lock that stuff down, comments, everything, etc. I only commented to you because if I do the reacting rating thing in the past, someone had something to say about it. Hence the profile thing since I can't put it in a signature. But I'll do you a favor, I'll put you on ignore first so no more replies from me. Have fun.
