To be fair it could have been an isekai and barely anybody would have noticed the difference, it did feel pretty isekai-esque.
As for what he means, a complete guess but maybe he's likening the genre to homeless people and saying that lots of them aren't surviving the winter, that sort of meaning.
True,some out there complete underutilise it to the point that it not existing wouldn't actually change the story.

And that would be quite the metaphor to use.

Axed, or Novel Ads, either ways, I think this is probably also best way to end the story, into open-end story, as the main meat of story basically finished at this part.
Ruck finally shown that he has surpassed (his impression of) Leon, and Leon went into deep end, and went pass the point of absolute no return, and slapped in his face how weak he is.

If the story still keep continue, it probably gonna fallen into a same trap many "Cliche Fantasy" story after main story ended, the "boring fantasy trying to find any new but generic story to continue"

This one didn't deserve the axe at all. But for all its worth it was a great series.

:salute: A bit sudden in terms of the ending, but that was a fun ride; thanks for the translations!

Wait, the WN page has even LESS?

I just checked, plans to continue in a 2nd volume that wasn't released, no final confrontation. Ruck and the others estabilish a party and last we see the previous Party fractured, leaving Leon behind taking the Greedy Bag with them. Are you telling me this manga actually had a better closure than its origins?

I'm not at all completely certain, but based on the MTL description of the Light Novel's volume 2, it starts going to an entirely different story arc. Also, I find it entirely strange just how completely different the mangaka drew Ruck. There's always going to be differences in style between LN and manga, but this just goes beyond anything...

Like, the only things that are the same are:
1) His name is Ruck Storage.
2) His skill is [Luggage Carrier]
Mangaka made the right call. This looks like trash.

Otherwise known as a native isekai. Heh.

Anyway. For what this was it ended at a good point. I think its actually a step above the usual overpowered protagonist revenge fantasy trash. For most of it, the antagonists unraveled themselves. The protagonist does actually NEED the FeMC to be strong and has some distinct weaknesses despite being completely OP. That said the Miko girl was pretty boring, the knight sisters and the maid really carried the harem.
