Geez. It's probably like that sword guy with no skills. He can't specialize, but he can excel at anything he puts his mind to.

 

[PotatoZero]

Huh, what, I think having no talent and still end up as an emperor is a great talent, too..

 

[Uldar]

You're kidding me? This dude is awesome! I was expecting him to be average (ala second life dude), but this fucker is straight up colorless. No affinity for magic at all, not a shred of magical talent!

And this glorious bastard fought off the demon king alongside the hero and most probably for geniuses and fucking survived!

MC should be damn proud of his achievements and effort, not have a stroke out of despair. Though the final "I'll reach the pinnacle of magic without any talent, I just need more time." was good.

 

[Trov]

@PotatoZero
True. But he wanted to stand side by side with his colleagues . Nothing more vexing that working 2 or 4 times harder and still not even comparing.

 

[Nep]

@Sep10trion

Both are pretty cheats themselves but don't compare this to that sword guy with no skills. That sword guy is even worse 😅 Significantly so.

Sword guy spoilers

Spoiler

He probably said he left home after learning his mother's skills. What he didn't say was that his mother was pretty much already the strongest swordsman in the world. So he breezed through that tournament he is taking in the manga (at the time of this post), went home, start learning magic.

ah shyet, here we go again

 

[KingMassey333]

well at least they gave us a better build up to the reincarnation than the maybe 10 panels at most typically for the death.

 

[ShionVaynex]

having clear/ colorless could mean a few things.
1 you have no attitude for any magic.
2 you have equally have attitude for every magic.
3 you have attitude for psychical/attributes less magic. (slash, bludgeon, pierce.)

 

[Austriacus]

@Nep what is this sword guy manga you guys are speaking of?

 

[kenkagejack]

Finally, a reincarnation that doesn't make me lower faith in humanity (apart from making me expect it due to where the parts were cut).

 

[scaler]

@Austriacus I am guessing they are talking about

Edit: copied wrong name earlier lol

 

[Austriacus]

@scaler Oh thanks!

 

[BloodySorcerer]

@PotatoZero, Technically there can be no way for someone with actually 0 talent to reach where he reached. I believe most authors misunderstand this. Having no talent means being unable to be good at something. If you can reach a high level with effort, then you do have some sort of talent, just not as big as a prodigy would have. Which is why Working hard would actually work. Having less talent only means you take longer to reach a high level, and not that you cannot reach it.
Having no talent means that you have neither the natural disposition, nor is it easy for you to grasp the concept, so even working hard it would take you as far as mastering the basics and reaching the skill floor.

 

[Silveress]

Hmmmm, reincarnation is a skill. What if his affinity is not with the 4 core elements but rather a 5th element?

 

[mismarca]

oh look like this dude career ended on its own XD

 

[jimmyclear]

Crap. Dude had a heart attack after learning he was colorless. Heck, if he learned he was colorless, that means he need to learn how to use it.

If it rewinds his own clock, great! Infinite learning. If it transfers to another body, then it would be like "Tides of Numenera" as the Changing God.

 

[kypmbangi]

What's wrong with having no talent?? He's hardworking that's for sure and he achieved so much by doing just that

 

[Doomer]

isn't that even more impressive though? the others were born to be great, they had the help of the gods in order to gain strength, they didn't earn a single thing but MC had everything working against him and he earned his skills and powers.

 

[MarceloYuri]

Dude got to the highest as the guys whom had 'blessings'/talents and still thinks it is vexing? What kind of spoiled brat wrote this?
