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

[shinta|hikari]

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?

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.

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.

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.
