Tsuihou Suru Gawa no Monogatari - Vol. 3 Ch. 24 - That Person

[SageVonManga]

If Daru were a normal isekai character, people would love him, but now people are all raging? You're not fooling anyone folks.

If Daru were a normal isekai character he'd be the one that gets kicked out of the party because he hid his power too much.

I usually hate when people who dislike something continue to read and comment on the very thing they claim to dislike, but every now and then you come across a story that is so profoundly awful that you just can't help but continue it to see how bad the trainwreck gets.

This is one of those stories.

The author has truly outdone himself with how he's managed to inadvertently create the most unlikable group of "good guys" I've ever personally come across. Why the powers that be felt the need to waste an artist's time and talent on this unapologetic slop is beyond me. Maybe the literary taste of the Japanese youth today is truly that horrid.

I genuinely appreciate the translation by the way, so thank you for doing it.

It isn't a very good story but it's exactly what it says on the tin:

This is a story that focuses on what happens in the main party when they kick out a member (in this case for his "own good") for being too weak but it turns out he's actually OP. You get some looks at what happens with the expelled character but they're kind of side stories. In the NORMAL story it's the opposite where the focus is on the expelled character and the side stories are of the original party struggling.

It's a failed attempt at an interesting take on the Expelled Party Member tale because people normally root for the underdog. With the twofer of this being poorly told and with nobody to root for there it just wanders. Stories with just people to hate usually don't work.

In a story you have to have someone in the main cast that you care about. It would have been better if the focus would have been on Athena. She could realize too late what Est meant to both the party and to her personally, and while trying to bring him back find that he's moved on from both the party and her. After this then you could have the party break up or take on new members to return to their former glory or whatever, and Athena could take up with whomever she cared to or with nobody because she can't get over Est.

Some of these comments are legit delusional. I can't tell if those people can't read, or are purposefully being dense just to hate on the series.

Daru can fight against a demon that defeated 3 people while toying with them.
And yet, he couldn't bother to use this kind of power and speed when Est was in danger.
Have in mind that Est had buffed Daru when the injury event happened, meaning Daru was actually stronger during the flashback in Ch1 than he is in this chapter.

And yet, Daru refused to save Est.
This series does deserve the hate it receives.
