I really hope that coping dude gets nerfed, beaten or something

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[kaminomikan]

more than one chapter in that stepping stone? why?

I'm not particularly impressed. A copy skill is quite standard in this kind of setting.
And this is just yet another way for an opponent to "equalize" their chances with Makoto's.
Third one by my count: three-hit match regardless of actual damage with the friend, stat-matching with the edge lord dude, and now skill-copy... which only matters because Makoto himself decided to nerf his levels.
And every time, the author wants to present it as a challenge when the first of these three fights already established that he can fight a roughly equal opponent with creativity instead of just a raw difference in stats...
... though this has since been contradicted by the second fight where he had to use a new way to overpower his opponent with raw stats.
I already commented on this, but this manga is inconsistent. And I hate that.

That said, I assume the copy-dude here can only hold a limited number of copied skills at any given time. How he switches them is a different question, and he does seem to have some control over the process, but the important point is that I don't think he can just use all skills he ever copied all the time.

I mean if Makoto oneshot him with never before seen strong skill he's basically done.

 

[Nunally]

Coffee magic eh

A copying skill doesn't seem that useful in a 1 vs 1 duel. The guy you copy the skills from will be more proficient at using them than you after all

I mean....if mc burns his levels I'm pretty sure his power output will far pass anything mr.copycat could do.

Maybe more experienced but not necessarily more proficient. In situations like these creativity, intelligence or ruthlessness usually shakes things up.

I don't think that's always the case in absolute.
You can compensate the lack of experience with more imagination than your opponent. A versatile thinker might make better use of a skill than one who just applied its most direct effect.
But overall yes, this advantages the original holder of the skill as they had more time to practice and test the limits of the skills.

Other factors might come into play like base stats or gear.
If both holders have the same strength multiplier skill, the one with the higher base strength will have the advantage.
And it would make sense for someone who held such a skill for a long time to build up their base strength to optimize its effect.
Same thing with combining a sword skill with a rare sword.
Randomly copying skills isn't as good as making a properly thought-out build with multiple synergies.

Copying might have its uses, but rarely is it worth simply mirroring your immediate opponent.

 

[Miserys_End]

As above, its starting to feel like the author is a onetrick pony. Can only say that the more the fight progressed, the more my disappointment grew. I only hope that the tournament ends soon and we can get back to dungeon diving. If only because it's less repetitive.

Aside from jojo reference at first I thought those japanese letters from the background are censor bar.

[chickenstalker]

Yawn. The Tournament© arc is second only to the dreaded Academy™ arc in being absolutely shit. When is this arc ending?

 

[Oklam]

and next bad guy/ little AH will be able to copy stats and skillz

 

[Insignis]

Not gonna lie, those 20 pages at best short chapters - especially marked as full chapters and not the x.y ones - are sad. I am sure that if I didn't have like 50 active mangas that I read (and forget before new chapters show up lol ) and just had like 1-2 mangas and they would require me to wait like month between such short nothingburger chapters - I would get angry/annoyed and just drop reading mangas overall.

Burning 98 level ain't worth it, remember how the MC burns from 80k to 1 just to finish the other dude, barely, both were down? Yeah, I don't think 98 is enough for this guy, and it's in a short period too, just kite or smth and easy win

 

[VISKINA]

makoto vs mikagami xD

 

[orangerain7734]

Maybe more experienced but not necessarily more proficient. In situations like these creativity, intelligence or ruthlessness usually shakes things up.

Even Makoto didn't know that you could cast magic with your feet, so yeah, there's not just experience with the skill itself, but also battle experience and the ability to adapt with the cards dealt to you.

It's especially OP if they're able to copy the skill level, as well, unlike that isekai gladiator series where any skill the MC copies is always at a lower rating.

If there isn't some kind of limitation to the copy skill, then it's busted. Dude could just hang around a dungeon entrance and copy all the high levels skills of the people going in there without ever needing to level them up individually himself. Want lv10 fire magic? Find someone with it and get lv10 right away.
