How are they doing that? Nothing unusually bad popped out to me. So, was it something specific or is it just really familiar?Yeah, treating the reader with contempt is a very poor way to start.

You and me both. As a TTRPG gamer myself, I always find fantasy mangos like these like they're missing the point of classes completely. Inheritance of Dragon Quest, I guess, but I think not even there it goes like this...I don't get why so much of Japan's fantasy revolves around inherent talent such as "skills" or "god's gifts", there's something very gross about them, that it also just undermines the idea of actual hard work. It would have been great if MC was still stronger than his brother, despite the skill, through sheer effort, but that not the case; I guarantee that MC is going to be stronger through some loophole given by his skill (like living in poison makes him stronger, or his ability allows him to farm food that makes him stronger or some such garbage) rather than anything actually earned.
In these fantasy series, everything is so often just given and never earned.
It's far easier to write about magical things that just happen, than to write about the nuance of hardship. The later requires actual expertise and real life experience.In these fantasy series, everything is so often just given and never earned.
Personally, I think this type of genre is the reflection of these authors' views of Japanese society. And the considerable amount of audiences who were receptive of this type of story.I don't get why so much of Japan's fantasy revolves around inherent talent such as "skills" or "god's gifts", there's something very gross about them, that it also just undermines the idea of actual hard work.

Yeah, one of the things I liked most about kumoko was how the skill system did seem to work as it was supposed to, as a representation of their actual efforts and training rather than something that just happens. Though some parts of it did just sort of happen and that was a plot point and what allowed one guy to fuck up the ending for everyone else. well, endings also a tragedy because of the flaws of the mcs.I don't get why so much of Japan's fantasy revolves around inherent talent such as "skills" or "god's gifts", there's something very gross about them, that it also just undermines the idea of actual hard work.
