@mommunism God. I have never wrote that he should be super op. I don't think you read all my comments. I'm upset, because mobs mentality makes no fucking sense. They should care about his rank, because it gives him power and respect. They should care about him, because he defeated 5 (pretty strong) people on the arena and is probably one of the few people that can help them in this situation. They shouldn't think "yeah, we should just kick his ass and put him in jail, cause he is rebeling", because IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE. I'm not mad that he didn't defeated the group that attacked him; I'm saying he shouldn't lost so easly. What, one punch and he is laying on the ground? Are you kidding me? He fought just fine in chapter 24. It's not like he has only good gear and good planning. He trained. He can fight. He is not that weak.
And people care about ranks, even when they are about to die. Because they want to rely on those with more power. And more power normally equals higher rank. I just think that author for unknown reasons wants his characters to be constantly bullied and disregarded, and thats why he never gave them respect that normally is given to people with higher ranks. It happens pretty often and it doesn't make it any less annoying. This is just unnatural. And so fucking stupid.
And, no, I'm not reading that many stories with OP protagonist, cause they are annoying too. In their own way, of course. I'm tired of talking about this manga.
