it's uses too much shounen troupes to the point where it feels like parody (the flashbacks before the final blow of every fight, the characters explaining their strategy during the fight for no reason, the characters uninvolved in the fight (and somehow can see through what happened) explaining what happened, etc.). it's the classic "social outcast turns out to be the strongest" like BNHA, Naruto, fucking every isekai "kicked out of party" ever. The character writing is also very inconsistent, you have people believing they're the strongest but decides to use underhanded tricks to try and beat mash like...if you're that strong...why not face him head on? also during the final trial when mash's dad enters the trial...neither the bureau nor wahlberg does anything??? and the point of "he can't use magic he doesn't deserve to live" is hammered too much it feels like the writer was insecure that this was a dumb point. Main villain's goal is boring and at times doesn't make sense...just to become the strongest and for some reason...destroy the world? like what do you even gain from that? does he want to be the only living being in the universe? Creepy Nuts really propelled this title to fame, without them very few would've known this for how unapologetically bland it is lol
Thank the gods I thought that because it was a school romcom they'll do the most annoying thing where everyone in class for some reason gets violently jealous when MC (or anyone for that matter) gets close/has a relationship with someone attractive. IDK it's been overplayed a lot, you saw it in Nisekoi, in Baka to Test, and it was the reason why I dropped Grand Blue. I just don't get why most Japanese Mangakas immediately gravitate towards that trope for romcom school mangas, it was never funny and for some reason it kept showing up.
I mean I love it but I don't get one thing. If her powers are that she can "destroy" anything she touches...couldn't she just "destroy" the orc and "destroy" the goblins? even if they're using weapons on her ...couldn't she just..."destroy" those weapons used against her by touching it? idk I love the artstyle and story so far but as long as this plot hole still exists for me...I don't think I can sleep at night.
