Ah yes, one of the "six kings" was a... moderately large slime. :huh: Meanwhile best friend man was killing DRAGONS. :huh:
To be fair, the metal slimes would be a terrifying opponent for anyone not a mage. High physical resistance that require a combination of elements to bear, then the specific immunity ones that throw a wrench into that, then the boss one who can tear apart a squishy mage with his tentablades...honestly MC is super lucky to be alive

did you see that thing? if a regular group of seekers fought that they would have been wiped out.
he only was okay because he took every single ore beforehand for himself. if they had been spread out between a group who knows how you kill that thing.
The real question is more about the dungeon being so small than the enemies within.

This is cool and all but he still has no aim in life.

I can see that the reader is being lead to think that he’s missing out on a romantic connection because his two childhood friends are going off into the sunset together without him but we don't have any proof that he actually cares about that though.

Presumably he’ll use this power for something that impresses the female CHF, but his other friend isn’t even a bad guy (from what we can see so far), so is it just childish jealousy that will drive him in the end? If so, lame.

Yeah, kinda hard to get hyped for an OP power fantasy when the MC by his own admission has no motivation to even use said power.

Also my bro rly turned into a Sentai Villian lmao
if he does that in a dungeon hes gonna be confused for a monster Lol
And this 'Chekhov's Gun' will fire, in much later chapters.

Later it will be explained that this particular dungeon is incomplete, for some reasons its only small hole instead of cavern. So monsters crippled:
  • In a first chapters(as well as this) it was explained (and partially shown) that slimes on top immune to physical attack a VERY faaaaaaast and they cannot show they best abilities.
  • When monsters leave the dungeon aka small cave inside HOLE they start to 'suffocate' magic rapidly drained fromtheir bodies,
  • on top of that being incomplete dungeon cannot provide sufficient amount magic to sustain monsters (theorized that slime can be even bigger)
So in result we got oxygen deprived fighter specialized in speed and "hit and run" tactics stuck in 'ventilation shaft'. Our boy is very lucky to be alive.

So basically he's been killing all these big guys who have been nerfed and is turning himself into the king (who probably is considered evil by others).

Also his lack of motivation pisses me off so much.

Dropped but well ig i'll just follow the manga (not that it'll ever finish lol) when I'm bored since the MC is gonna be frustrating forever, and cause this is one of those misery-p*rn stories and isn't even that good.

I wonder whether the MC's lack of motivation is the reflection of mentality of the current Japanese youth.

Plus he absorbed enough mana to be off the charts long ago, although I'm not sure how much that increases his survivability without the skills he absorbed.
