The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter Chapter 82 Discussion

I was going to rate it 3 stars but change my mind because the main cast of characters are pretty good even the MC.

As for the review, this has a lot of cliches which I don't usually mind much, what I do mind is the repetitiveness the of the plot. As you read in the description, MC in transported to a game he used to play and once the story starts is when the plot is basically divided in two.

1. MC fighting the boss of the next big event
2. MC developing his relationship/friendship with the harem or with a new girl he met

#2 is always enjoyable for me. Author always finds a way to keep it entertaining and fresh for us, the girls are unique and likeable. I wish there were also some male characters that MC could befriend but oh well.

Another plus is that MC isn't the usual dense idiot who never notices when someone likes him. He knows and he sets boundaries (or at least tries to). He knows he doesn't have the time for a romantic relationship so that's why he doesn't reciprocate their feelings.

Now for #1, the complete opposite of #2; author doesn't try to keep things interesting and fresh. It is boring. There's nothing enjoyable about fighting "big bad bosses" that we never go to meet before the fight itself. There's no hype, no tension because obviously MC wont lose. There's no consequences nor bad aftermath that lets you know that IT WAS a big bad boss fight.

The only exceptions were the first few boss fights and it was because (minor and obvious spoliers)

Spoiler

Thats when future harem members watch his fight and they start to uncover mc's secret identity

[collapse]

Other than those moments, the boss fights aren't enjoyable, at least not to me. Don't get me wrong, they are written good but they are predictable. You can literally just skip entire boss fights because nothing unexpected happens (with only a few exceptions). I wouldn't mind this fights if it wasn't for the fact that there are SO MANY of them. Like I said before, the plot is divided in two, and it switches between them after the latter is over. Preparing for boss and the boss fight itself for a few chaps >>> spend time with harem for a few chaps >>> then back to prepare for next boss. Over and Over again.

One thing that I hate is that author spends so much time giving us all the details to the next "big bad boss fight". Example: MC starts a monologue in his head, in which he talks about the next big event where he'll fight the next boss fight. But he first tells us how that event/boss fight should've been in the game originally. He tells us how exactly would have happened, who was involved in the fight, how it ended, how the original MC would've beaten it. Also how that event would have affected the academy and other characters.

After he is done with that, he starts telling us how his past actions could affect/change the coming event (sometimes MC kills enemies before they were meant to be killed in the game), and he comes up with a few theories on how it could have change. And after he is done, he then finally tells us his plan for the event and how he will be preparing for it.

All of that ^^ is way too much information in a short amount of time and for an uninteresting enemy that most people will probably not remember. Let me talk about another novel quickly; Omniscent First-person's viewpoint. I have read 111 chaps of that novel, and in those 111 chaps there have been a total of 3 big enemies (maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not), with a lot of space in between them. I can name you right here and right now who those enemies were, what were their goals, how there were defeated, their fighting style, their story.

That is something that I can not do with the enemies in this novel. In those 82 chaps that I read, there have been like ten big enemies and I cannot named even one. The only thing I can say about them is that they are pure evil because they are demons, nothing more.

This novel shines the brightest when there is no "big bad enemies" (with very few exceptions). Now let's talk about another novel, Interspecies wives. I was very surprise when I was reading that novel, because in the first major battle, they only showed us the first few minutes of the battle and then they skipped until the ending of the battle. And I was very glad, bc everyone knows the outcome of the battle without reading it. So why waste all that effort in writing something that everyone already knows. If you are going to write a battle, at least do something different, up the stakes, kill a character, make it so that it greatly injurers physically or mentally the MC or someone close to him, ANYTHING that will keep the reader interested.

Sadly this novel barely does that when it comes to fights

I have been shitting on the novel a bit too much so lets end it at a good note. I really enjoy this MC, that is something that I normally don't do. I wish they expanded a bit more on him. There are times where I as a reader feel like he is depressed or overwhelm with all the responsibility he has, to the point that I sometimes feel sorry for him, those are the stuff that I wish were expanded on. Instead of another boss fight, they could just develop him more, and then write one of the girls helping him through those tough times.

The girls are very good, I like them all, specifically Dorothy. Luce a close second. MC interactions with them are also great. There was one of the girls that I didn't really like much; but then something happen and then not only her character but also her interactions with MC greatly improved.

The fights between other students are good, and the way MC gets through them while being so weak is entertaining and enjoyable. Mc's training is also enjoyable and even inspiring.

Like I said twice before already, everything outside the events/boss fights is really good. You just have to ask yourself, are you willing to put up with the boring parts just to get to the good parts?

For now I am, but Idk if I'll change my mind in the future, but at least for now, I'm willing to put up with it.

To be honest, in the last two boss fights, I just 'speed-read' them. So it has been easier to put up with it
