Training Regimes of the World’s Strongest Women - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - In the Western Forest

I had to look at the raws to see how this would pan out and even though it wasn't as bad as it could be I'm still disappointed enough to just drop this outright. Well, it's not the worst-case scenario so I'm sure most people will at least be okay with it, but I'm not wasting any more time with this. A shame since it's pretty well drawn, and the overall plot is decent enough so far.

spoil it friend, I wanna know if I should drop it too.

Ah, yes. Because ganging up on someone in the middle of nowhere is going to do wonders for your image. Of course.

No, it's okay, you've already cinched the title of Worst Girl (hell Worst Character) by a lightyear.

No need to keep acting like an absolute piece of shit to prove it. Of course, we all know she isn't going to stop until he either beats her within an inch of her life or saves her from getting killed by something she brought entirely upon herself, and we all probably suspect it will be the later.

Oh well, at least we can take solace in the fact that if she does become a love interest, she won't stand a chance against and will likely be cucked by the Based Onee-san trio and Best Girl Hero.

Spoiler: It's not that bad, but I'm too old for this nonsense

After some more scuffling, Cross manages to get away. Then the big monster that was foreshadowed shows up and the bitch and her patsies are way out of their league. The bitch stays behind as a sacrifice to give her patsies time to get away. Cross, who stayed nearby, notices them fleeing.
At this point, we get a little bit of a sob story for the bitch, and the story tries to make you feel bad for her by drawing her all sad and pretty, but I honestly don't give a damn about her boohoo sad past because she's still a colossal piece of shit. Cross shows up and interrupts as she's doing a last-ditch attack and about to get ended. He starts fighting the monster solo and impressively well against the monster due to his hidden talents, but it's still a losing battle.
Anyways, his furious desperate struggle impresses the bitch so eventually, they team up for a little. It's still not enough, and they get pulverized until they're on the brink of death at which point Cross awakens even more of his potential and manages to take the monster down which impresses her even more and she finally realizes what cunt she's been and regrets it. She's now a lovey-dovey tsundere for Cross.
I didn't see her give him a proper apology, but I could've missed it, and no real consequences were handed out aside from the bitch getting chewed out a little by his masters. Also the patsies apologized to Cross when he recovered and went back to the adventurer school, but it was just a comedy bit and Cross deferred like Japanese protagonist he is.

Anyways, that's a summary and it skips over a fair number of details that would make this turn of events enjoyable to most, but I still don't like the overall resolution even if the lead-up and build-up were well-written enough. I know I shouldn't have expected much better from this type of work, and it's already miles ahead of its peers, but I've seen stuff like this so much it's just trite to me.

Jobless, and stats = 0, maybe because they're all immeasurable. Stats potentially broke the ceiling of the measurement standard, so they're all registering as 0 instead; it's an error reading, like "Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou Deshita?", where MC has a magic output of 1002, but scanners can only read double-digits, so he only got a rating of 02. Because his specific tendencies can't be gauged, he's "Jobless", because his job cannot be defined. Weak at the beginning, because training with normals couldn't bring out his real potential. Just a guess. That may be how the author will spin it.

We can see, though, that there are stat adjustments listed as the first skills he has. I would guess that the job 'jobless' converts all level experience into skill experience, which drastically increases the rate of learning skills. Perhaps it also removes any prerequisites on all skills, which is maybe why he has access to stat adjustment skills (that might not be accessible to other classes).

Just my two cents for brainstorming.

 

[Skydaz]

Damn we could have gotten something good but the author decided this was a good idea?

Took a peek at other comments and it seems like this is gonna lead to some non consequential stuff. Losing interest already why is this a main plotline

What she doesn’t realize is that nobody will care that she lost to him when they find out he’s op af

Just playing devil's advocate here, but if you think this is written poorly, just fucking stop reading. Better yet, write your own story so we can see how your vision of how a character should be and how characters should behave is  sooooooo vastly superior to random Japanese author #479. Y'all really need to learn how to turn your brains off, suspend your disbelief, and just let the story be what it is; a story, with flawed characters written by flawed authors.

Stop reading? Yeah, fair.
Write a better story? No, that's a smooth brain argument, friend. You don't need to be a chef to criticize a burger.
Turn your brain off? Definitely.

Personally, I cannot help but be sickened by how these utterly inept writers get such amazing artists to illustrate their works. I find it completely incomprehensible, no matter how many times I see it. Most of these types of works would be completely unreadable without the good art to carry it.

So pretty much all the kids in the orphanage just sorta sucks huge donkey dick, huh?

Jumping someone in the woods with lethal force is not something that can or should be easily forgiven.

If the S-class stepsister harem sees this gank, it won't be just their entrails getting hung at the forest's entrance...
