MC has a cursed skill, but is dropped into a situation where it actually pays off. Decent execution of the "zero-to-hero" story in the beginning, but loses focus. Read it until it gets boring.Good:
- MC has a cursed skill that is actually cursed. There's a lot of these "weak-to-strong" type stories featuring some niche skill that magically becomes S-tier when 50 butterflies flap their wings in the right sequence. In this case, it is a full on cursed skill.
- ofc, the skill has a loophole that lets the MC shine, but he really has to work for it.
- The plot goes down into a weird place where the focus drops to other characters. It would be understandable if the POV switches to another member of the ensemble cast. Instead, the story flips to one of the earlier antagonists. Presumably, this is to set up a heel-face turn. But man...
- MC has no self awareness. 5 volumes in and the MC: Spoiler
commands a legion of gods, demons, and mythical beasts; can create alternate dimensions and realities; apparently can control time; maybe bring people back from the dead..? create life (or life-like dolls) as well?
[collapse] if he is actually really strong, so I was really looking forward to some level of character development and growth.
