I'm seeing comments of OP without effort AND man this has been very shitty
Wtf are we reading the same manga?
It's almost blatantly slapped into your face that the MC starts with nothing and acquires everything through sheer effort. I'm really worried if readers can't tell when there is a time skip just from the context not to mention a bubble tossed in here or there literally says after half a year.
Just from last two chapters at least multiple years seem to have past again. It took him 6 months of constantly using magic power just to reach basic awakened sorcerer level. Now that he can cast magic king level stuff probably been 3 years minimum.
Is something missing between pages 12 and 13? Why is he suddenly in a carriage on the way to a magic city? What happened to his magic training and Raina's wife swordsman training? And where's Raina at that point?
@Buffsoul that's all just lip service though. MC didn't have to grow, change or evolve to suddenly be good at magic. Whether he was good from the start or picks it up off-screen is the same to me dramatically.
But that's beside the point. It's clear that the main catharsis of the series is not seeing MC overcome an enemy/obstacle because that's a given. Rather, it's about watching the other characters revise their first impressions about him. A kind of social wish fulfillment.
all that potential plot development gone to pieces along with that explosion. 😆 now what will the author do to spice up the story? axe-kun is peeking this way.
man i feel bad for him ... at the beginning he has a tiny mana pool... mana puddle so he constantly runs out meaning he has to keep drinking the potions even if those potions taste good he practically had to down a bottle after every time he uses magic
must be torture.... not to mention running low on mana probably gets you nauseous(i assumed this since thats how other fantasies do it) he also trains relentlessly every day and multiple times a day... I'm thinking maybe like 3or 5 potions a day
@GerryCeryBery It's the generic "school arc" that every "child in a swords and magic world" story line tosses in, and they're never any good. Even the ones where the kid is the most powerful being on the planet he still winds up going to a school for some arbitrary reason to learn absolutely nothing.
It would be hilarious if the entire world was using lower tier magic the entire time just because they were taught to hold their wands the wrong way.
@themanj I don't think you should feel THAT bad for him, when he trained sword skills he learn by asking people to beat him with their skills; it's not unlikely that he's a machosist
he already can use highest tier magic huh? I thought it would be interesting seeing him being weak for a while, struggling to learn and all that... but of course a power fantasy wont allow that... @HDMI1 the generic school arc in mushoku tensei was good
Idk what draws me in to this manga in particular. The story is super generic and I've seen it dozens of times, but I keep coming back to this one in particular.
@Dabaha I may be that red magic is the only thing his father taught him. Then he'd be travelling to the city of Magic to learn other kinds of magic, since he has no restrictions that would be one reason I can see him travelling there for.
@TheDevilsApprentice Wasn't the horse only frightened though? The horse wa never hurt, he merely lost consciousness due to the Troll king's roar. I don't think you need to affect the horse's life force to "heal" him from this condition. It may even be a simple act of affecting the horse's mana, which wouldn't really belong to any of the elements.
