I Became the Strongest Because of My Crap Category Status Effect Skills (Hazurewaku)

Episode 2:

The plot to draw the soul eater near and make it careless was believable and smart, but, man, was it a pain to watch. The purposefully poor acting seemed to last forever. And then we got the self-righteous and prideful speech from the MC. What was the director thinking?

Also, the MC definitely does get super strong. We have all the reason to believe the people that died in that dungeon had some really competent individuals among them, like the past darkness hero. They all died miserably in that place, unable to face the soul eater even if they somewhat did manage to deal with the armies of the other monsters. The experience/levels seem to be as inflated in this series as they usually are in isekai, with the dude already closing in on level 1000, unless he already got there thanks to the soul eater, but still one ought to assume those monsters aren't any goblins, they were all relatively tough. Their toughness just was meaningless against the MC's cheat powers.

Despite all that, this is a relatively decent show in its category. I'm not sure if this can even be called an edgelord story since Touka seems to be aware of his own position and prospects. On the other hand, he does have the woeful background of unreasonable suffering and folks that should have technically be on his side were pretty much all against him, so he's alone, which certainly is an edgelord plot element. Time will tell. I feel like aside from the whole background of suffering, edgelordism mostly depends on the MC's attitude, which might not be present here.

While I personally think the acting was also not as good as it could've been, my wife actually got fooled into thinking it was real, so it seems to work for those who aren't expecting any subversion to happen.

I think it was pretty obvious that the monsters there are super strong because even after he leveled up, he couldn't even scratch the skin/hide of a dead monster. Even after all that leveling, he could only beat them through his status effect skills. He didn't suddenly start beating them with speed, strength, agility, or weapons.

To add, he isn't alone. He had that uncle and auntie who cared for him after he escaped abuse.

The experience/levels seem to be as inflated in this series as they usually are in isekai, with the dude already closing in on level 1000.

He was 1200+ before he fought the soul eater thingy.

edit:
He gets +3 main stat for every level up btw.

And I think +33 Mana per level up?
But the studio is super bad at math/using a calculator, so they thought 1229x33 = 40457 instead of 40557
Not sure where the -100 mana difference comes from.

His starting stat was 33 mana. 3 in every main stat.
