Whats with Page 2?

Another day another slop but I'm in for it ig

 

[Darkshade13]

So original. Much edge.

 

[fumokaze]

gonna be one of those "actually it drains magic, but he has none, so he only benefits from the sword" type beats

I'm sorry, it was a mistake in the post. It has been corrected.

I'm not really into isekai, but this one looks pretty cool...

 

[Epsilon_s9]

Very good, it captivated me in a way.

 

[Darkshade13]

Is Page 3 correct? The boxes all are just copies of what is the major text on page 5, but without context it doesn't come off clearly or sensibly against the generic-ass "title card" style picture.

Is this even isekai though? It's tagged as such, but nowhere in the first chapter does the MC admit to being reincarnated or having memories of his past life. Unless that becomes a plot point later on this could just be standard fantasy (though knowing Japan it probably will end up being an isekai just because those are popular and you gotta tick the popular boxes)

Now he gains a harem and since how miserably his family treated him, ofc he's gonna forgive them and help when the neighbouring kingdom wages a war. Cherry on top, he'll try to lay low but it'll be the only thing he'll fail at.

He's also going to become a hero and save people, but his family and the other anti-magicless people will continue to assume that it's some sort of trick or deception and keep treating him badly so that he can continue to forgive/excuse their shit behavior as a way to demonstrate how morally upright and group-minded he is.

Or it could be he has a massive reserve of magic/mana, but has no drain to let out, so the sword helps him.

 

[jrocker]

I sure hope that when he inevitably meets back with his family when he is the strongest and they want something he throws them away instead of bowing and forgiving them

 

[KoffeeStarZ0e]

so in a world where magic overruled, he who was born in a family that excels in magic, born without one ?

so uhh, heavenly restrictions ?

 

[Miorioff]

Such a lame ass plot, especially the sword part, "lets throw away our family relic together with a guy who we all hate", lol what. Also having an op weapon since the very beginning is just not fun.

And his emotions are all over the place, crying, smiling, stoic, dumb, all together at the same time, no consistency at all.
Weak title.

 

[Solipsist]

The "ugly duckling" plot is so generic, I didn't even need to read anything.
Did anyone actually bother reading any of the text? I feel sorry for the translators, but why even bother translate this copy-paste crap?

And by "crap", I mean the writing, because the art is obviously good, and single-handedly carries this obvious walking advertisement of a shameless copy-paste novel.

It would be pretty cool if that blast of magic was a result of the magic stored within the cursed sword, not his own magic. But, that would mean the author would have to invest pages for Crom to store magic before any human fight, since mages naturally produce an anti-physical barrier. Depending on the audience, that could sound boring if the author can't make it interesting or worth not skipping.
