Rakudai Kenja no Gakuin Musou: Nidome no Tensei, S-Rank Cheat Majutsushi Boukenroku - Vol. 3 Ch. 8.4

@TNT261 You're entirely correct. MC's decisions are stupid and only exist to keep suspense. Merlin would be the ideal informational resource for him, which is supposed to be his entire motivation.

@TNT261
I wouldn't really call Konosuba or Re:Zero power fantasies. Youjo Senki looks like a power fantasy at first, but Tanya's achievements get her further away from what she really wants (a cushy desk job in the rear).

Technically, "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz" could be called isekai since they do take place in another world. That would be stupid, but it does show that there can be more done with that plot device than throwing people into a generic fantasy world.

I think calling them SAO clones would be more accurate since that's where all this shit started.
Bog standard fantasy setting? Check
Boring, OP harem protagonist MC? Check
Special ability only the MC has? Check
Transported to another world? Kinda
Video game elements like stats and menus? Check
There's definitely a few more things I've forgotten, but I can't be bothered to think more on this.

Back in the day, publishers would have to spend money printing ask these manga, so most of the terrible ideas were never seen by the public. Now a new manga only needs a page on a website, so publishers can throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. It just so happens that a lot of these authors are still riding the SAO bandwagon even if they don't know it.

I'm not defending trash manga and anime. I'm just saying that we need to properly sort the trash.

@TNT261 Agree bro it's just annoying when it gets dragged out and it will take a lot of chapters for her to find out

 

[lucaschristoper12]

Shup fucking retards, this is isekai, it talked about the grappler the mc did. He said he learned it from previous reincarnation which is the earth one. Retards

 

[witwhits]

I don't like that people really judge the writing of power fantasies like this, but goddamn. MC's way of thinking is the most inconsistent sht i've seen. He doesn't want to stand out, nut he didnt even think of a plan for that goal. He says he answered all the questions, but didn't even read the instructions. Now on this chapter, he didn't want Merlin to know, because there were people around? Really? he had to make a stupid lie?

I wish power fantasies have at least the minimum amount of proper writing like in Overgeared. At the very least, something that does not detract from the story, engaging, and keeps a suspension of disbelief. MC is driving the story on this one, and he's really driving it to the wrong direction so far.

 

[yoraphcool]

Doesn't want to stand out so he lies to Merlin ---> 30 seconds later ---> Accept to have a magical showdown with her ........

 

[Gulf2018]

why the hell is a repost again

 

[AnimuHikari]

Maybe I am bit late but WHY THE HELL MERLIN AS HEADMASTER WEAR SHAMELESS CLOTH?! LOOK AT YOUR STUDENT! THEY WEAR DECENT UNIFORM!

 

[WallyIAO]

@ArcTicKronos Can you spoil me if he will get in a romance-relationship with Merlin or the aprendice? pls :C

 

[tsuyukihime]

@witwhits thank god I thought I was the only one. it's such a clusterfuck of inconsistency in this MC's thinking... he's supposed to have the experience of a grandpa.. why does he act like a dumb 15 yr old

 

[Wind1]

This might be the saltiest thread on mangadex, holy fuck guys. Actually unparalleled.

 

[Beefstew87]

I came here to read about why the series hasn’t been updated for a moth. But wow, this is probably the worst comment sections in all of mangadex lol.

If you don’t like, don’t read. Complaining here isn’t gonna change anything. At least go complain (make a respectable critique) to the author or something instead. Don’t make the community toxic. Don’t call someone a r*tard just because you disagree on if the fictional fantasy character has inconsistencies.

 

[DatOneGuy]

First rule of LIT manga: (Low-tier Isekai Trash)
Turn OFF your brain and just enjoy the spectacle.

 

[YungMassah]

Idk what’s happening this comment section but I do know that Merlin is hitting DIFFERENT😫

 

[Mathiason]

Thanks for the chapter!
Well there goes the arena! MC really needs to learn the current world's common sense. That and have a private talk with Merlin sooner than later instead of lying about his identity. If I remember correctly only top class mages can do a lvl 4-5 spell alone and yet he did a lvl 6 chantlessly. This is just going to rev her up more and pull out the stops. Hence, I give whatever shields the arena has about two panels before getting destroyed along with the stage from their high class magics.

 

[Yolo135]

I mean is he even trying couple chapters back he's talking about not standing out but now he's chucking lvl 6 magic every manga is the same sigh

 

[yumyum36]

Adding to the salt pile of "Why?"

 

[ShinduPK4]

"I want to hide my identity"
"I want to see how my disciple has grown, so I'll use pretty much forgotten spells chantless."
I can't decide whether the author is retarded or he's portraying the MC to be.

 

[VividlyLucid29]

Bruh, now you agree to the battle?! This story has gone ALL OVER the place

 

[NishaAzalea]

Well so much for not standing out.

I mean he already did, but now he just really had to show the whole school.
