Water Magician Chapter 254 Discussion

I give 3 star because is kind what I expected in my low expectations, and while it has many flaws it burned a few hours with a easy read and some combat scenes.

Is a rather generic japanese isekai story with where the MC quick become OP, most characters are bland, while interactions are forced like they are sock puppets, with no real enemies or goals the MC is literally drifting in life, meanwhile the romance make little sense and we can only guess developed always in the background of the many time jumps.

Nightbringer review is spot on in regarding the romance and why isn't "slow pace". However still better than some isekai romance harem I read before.

Meanwhile the "hydrogen bond" aka cientific approach to magic is quick forgotten in favor of the blandest isekai tropes that aren't even implemented rigt and instead are made fun of in a 4th wall break comedy attempt, that sadly cant fill it with anything better than the trope it wink at the reader how they will teas cliche development and then drop it.

The worst offender however is probably the MC personality, at girst glance he is a generic japanese MC. However, the authir must have heard that JP MCs are too coward and tried to change that in the worst way possible.

His base personality is to treat everything as if was a game, so much in fact that in the few instances he did get angry was so poorly conveyed that I still sided with the atteckers. That in part show with how terrible is the depiction of the relationship on the story. There also time he acts childish and without common sense that the only co clusion I could come is that he is insane. Worse yet the japanese highschooler tropes seen to never left him and pop kind randomly.

Not that you will see him muh of him as the One Punch Man problem when the MC is too OP hide him in the background until the last second and repeat that ad infinitum. As time skip and gloss over what the MC have been doing will be the norm.

The best part was rhe magic system exploration that was given only in the smallest crumbs by the author.

Let not talk about the many info dumps, while the worldbuilding of a fantasy world where many reincarnated people showed up is a interesting idea implemented poorly. As the only real change seen to be the some anachronistic invention and foods, that ironic make part of the appel to travel to another world ppintless when you are going to eat the same food and see similar things but now done with magic, ofc all things that will impact the fantasy medieval vibes.
