He got complacent, other guy has the resolve to kill some kids (eventually, after numerous warnings) while the MC can't seem to realize that if you can't stop your enemy from sliding into your personal space, then you should stop trying to turn it into a ranged fight, where you can shock and awe him into settling this with a discussion.Didn’t he like fight on par with the most powerful demon kings in existence. Isn’t the whole plot of this story that his only real opponent would be the hero. If what I understand is true, then this random nobody character that wants to kill the prince is as strong as the legendary demon kings… what is going on with this writing?
This is the exact same lesson the Demon and Dragon Kings hammered into him when he graduated from being their boytoy.so idiot author made the idiot mc, fight the guy that tried and is still trying to kill the prince, without the resolve to kill? classic japs...
We saw them repeat this lecture when they beat his ass, to force him to take their graduation fight seriously, so... yeah, he's probably going to have to have another flashback in a month or so when he forgets this lesson again.So, can I now assume that the MC has already had all of the lectures he needed for character growth given to him in advance, and will just conveniently remember them whenever they're relevant from now on?
Oh, that wasn't a flashback retcon? I guess I need to reread the first chapters...We saw them repeat this lecture when they beat his ass, to force him to take their graduation fight seriously, so... yeah, he's probably going to have to have another flashback in a month or so when he forgets this lesson again.
You said it yourself, it's to force drama. The author simply forgot that the MC he created was over powered, so he had him lose a one on one against a human with a sword...Why do we have to narratively nerf our MC for some forced drama? Dude's centuries old with training from two of the strongest beings in the world; there's no reason he shouldn't be embarrassing this random guy.
That's a shit excuse. If a pre-school kid comes at you with a butter knife, you don't need the resolve to kill in order to stop the child from hurting you or hurting himself. Everyone in the world should be like small children when compared to the MC, given the training he's gone through.He got complacent, other guy has the resolve to kill some kids (eventually, after numerous warnings) while the MC can't seem to realize that if you can't stop your enemy from sliding into your personal space, then you should stop trying to turn it into a ranged fight, where you can shock and awe him into settling this with a discussion.
