There are indeed a lot of stories that just willfully ignore the existence of various archetypes and common logic. I am reading one now where light magic doesn't do anything of note. No damage and I have no idea what the MC was even doing before the twist. Just solar flare turbo I guess, which I guess kept him alive until the cheats kicked in. Still its a shame that stuff as simple as someone being a regular ass wizard has become the go-to for these subpar "cheat"/OP characters. Like they don't even make sense from the perspective of the games they are often parodying. I can let is slide as long as they do it right. Chalk it up to worldbuilding even when they ruin that by introducing elements which completely negate the premise in the first chapter. Cardboard Armor and OP daggers/swords still bug me more.

I will say that Krai is... actually not out of place where he is. He's not the direct powerhouse his friends are, no, and he doesn't think of himself as a great leader. But the effort he puts into NOT working means he actually knows who can do the jobs he's asked to do _very well,_ and can assign people well. Of course, he'd prefer not to, and gets arm-twisted into various things, but he _also_ possesses Kagenou Cid's ridiculous connection to fate/destiny/luck, and his excuses often turn out to be right. But, most importantly, his very powerful friends _listen_ to his guidance, and he actually proves to be insightful when understanding their and others' motivations. And finally, his mastery of his magic items is not trivial. He sits in an Irresponsible Captain Tylor sort of realm of not quite being clear just how much is actually BS luck and just how much is him being genuinely almost as good as everyone (except him) thinks he is.

"The healer who was banished from his party, is in fact, the strongest" is legitimately the plot of like, 4 other anime that have been on this series. This is like if they named Shield Hero "The Hero Everyone Thought Was Shit Was Actually The Best Hero!"

[@EstebanGrasso]

I checked the original manga by curiosity, and I have to say that it feels that they took the names of the characters and dumb up the rest. Both story and characters have several differences, darker and with no deus ex machina and stuff making way more sense. And while is not a great manga in any sense, it is a lot better than the anime adaptation.

i really appreciate the "I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History"'s leaning so hard into the same shit the male protags get away with, how they're always the smartest person in the room because they can spout some easy stuff from our world, we don't get leading ladies with that power very often. and i genuinely enjoy the heroine having this freaky mind control thing going on, these stories so rarely use the "mary sue" aspect to interesting potential. i also just think she's a delightful goof of a character and how her friends react to her is nice, the "yeah, yeah big scary villain, anyway what're we feeding the orphan puppies today?" is a fun vibe

[@duncanlutz3698]

I have... very mixed feelings about the main 'love couple' of the series. Most notably, how the FMC was just 7 years old when she caught the attention of "Prince Duke" who is 5 years her senior. Over the next several episodes, he continues to be super fucking creepy pushing his "desires" onto a literal child. Like one episode REPEATEDLY stresses how the FMC is just a TEN YEAR OLD CHILD. Multiple times, over and over "SHE'S A CHILD." It ends when she passes out from exhaustion only for her "love interest" to take advantage of this CHILD's vulnerability to force a kiss on her. A "Medicine Kiss." Because she was "sick." And not at all just a horny 15 year old taking advantage of a 10 year old child. Totally legit and romantic! *sigh* The age gap is just bizarre considering that damn near every other character, other than parents, are of age with the male love interest. And then there is the FMC that is just ~5 years younger than the rest of the cast, but is attending school and being considered a romance rival of the much older girls against the much older boys. Which is weird even in the universe of the game... which was made with "bratty kid sister of one of your simps" as the main rival? Like the heroine is ~20 when the "game" starts, and the FMC takes the place of the villain that is 5 years younger and the little sister of one of the male love interests. So the heroine of the game is being bullied by, and must overcome, a literal child that is the little sister of someone you can date, whose in her first year of this academy, and the heroine is on the cusp of graduating. I know I'm rambling, but that age gap really is just BIZARRE. Why is a group of 15 year old boys competing over who gets to take the 10 year old girl on a date next as her brother freaks out and gets jealously protective? Why is she the "serious rival" of a grown woman 5 years older than her? And as Geoff points out... why is the fucking King showing up to draft his foreign policy from a seven year old? And I could keep going. It really is just bizarre how the series insisted on making her so much younger than everyone else.

[@piti7102]

​@duncanlutz3698 THANK YOU I've been looking for a comment that mentions this, and was on the cusp of making it myself. I was cringing every time they emphasized her age but clearly had the prince giving her the eyes in the background. I had to drop it right quick because there is no reason that it had to be that way. Even if they try to justify it with "well she's older on the INSIDE" that doesn’t make the prince any less of a creep. Also his name is stupid

[@BaoHadir]

So a couple points: Hajime's crystal eye isn't a demonic artifact. He brought the holy crystal that saved his life with him during his travels in the Abyss. The crystal eventually stopped producing the holy water, so Hajime's stash of cure-all vials is very limited. But he found the crystal could store huge amounts of mana and thus would be perfect for enchanting. So he chipped off a piece, shaped it and filled it with his mana (Hajime's mana color is red), and put it in his empty eye socket (that eye was melted by the blast of the final hydra head). As for Haruka, well, Haruka is a dip who doesn't remember anyone's name, even when they say it to his face directly. When he met the duke's daughter Merielle he called her Merimelle first, then settles on MeriMeri. And she's someone he's met recently. He's known his classmates for ages, especially the class rep, whom he's known since like kindergarten. Instead, he has nicknames for them: the nerds, the jocks, the bimbos/mean girls and the Queen Bee, Class Rep and Vice Reps A, B, and C, Fish Girl (the one who told him about the fish for breakfast and got a headbutt for her trouble), and Nudist Girl (one of the girls is an airhead who is constantly taking her clothes off for one reason or another). Light novel Haruka also invented his own magic in order to defeat hardened enemies like golems: vibration magic. He taught it to the girls. They level that particular magic up nightly, while listening to him getting thoroughly laid by his servant/servants. One of whom gets a kick out of giving the girls all the dirty details they ask for. Obviously, the anime is based off the manga not the novel, so don't expect to see Haruka getting his ashes hauled, even by implication.

[@jaybeans981]

The best part of Loner Life in Another World is that the anime is based on the manga adaptation. The light novel is apparently even MORE trashy, with it being a nonstop monologue from the protagonist in which each sentence contains at least five references to obscure Japanese media. It’s even implied that he is mumbling the entire story’s narration in real time. And of course it’s the one with the NSFW scenes.

The only way i can imagine a Healer being fired from his party would be that they were never a good healer to begin with. Come on now, Healers are one of the most important support classes there is.

[@Fixti0n]

I only watched it a little, but i think the plot was that he wasn't a healer at all, but a DPS. So be basically qued up with the wrong role, so that is why he got kicked.

[@andrewowens4421]

I mean, the point of a healer is to keep them in the back row, away from the action and allow them the time they need to keep their party alive. Sure, maybe spec them in _some_ attack power, but mostly just to help them keep distance from their enemy so that they can heal the party more efficiently. Kicking them out is a death sentence for a party.

[@Sakaki98]

⁠@@Fixti0n “He wasn’t a healer at all, but a dps” Did someone call for a Zenyatta main?

[@zogar8526]

It hasn't really explained why yet, though my guess is it has to do with whatever lives inside of him, but he can literally only use the basic heal spell. Nothing else. Yes he can layer it, but his party didn't know that was odd. He is the only healer they've ever had. So they though other healers would be able to do that with higher level healing magic, including group heals. Plus antidote. While you can just buy potions, they are super expensive. So they just thought another healer would be able to do what he did, but with stronger and more spells. While also helping fill the front line. Which is why they just went to get another one.

[@romanov3937]

@@Fixti0n This would have made for a better plot than whatever plot this anime had. Someone with little to no talent to be a healer desperetly wants to be one, they have everything to be an amazing damage dealer but doesn't like fighting directly. His party gets mad at him for it, they have a bad argument and he leaves to try and learn how to be a better healer. When they meet again, the original party wants him to be their main DPS dealer for a boss raid. He shows off his new healer skills and is the one to finish off the boss with his DPS talent. The party congratulates him and want him back, but he has to be their new tank, not their healer. Seeing that they don't respect his hard work in trying to be a healer, he cuts ties with them permanently.

[@frostfang1]

​@@dizzyheadsI think the uncanny is the point. With the way the economy or undermining the heroine is barely happening and everyone is either on her side of the villianesses, I'm gonna guess there's some BS about the heroine being another isekeid person or how she's opened a new path where the heroine is actually the villianess and now she has to decide whether she wants to be more evil or continue her path of helping her kingdom. Even with the bs economy fluff, it could have been decent if she actually embraced the tropes and the psychology of being a foil to the heroine which actually made the heroine grow and be challenged. But none of that happens and she just studies behind closed doors and chops wood. Very cinematic and interesting.

The protagonist of Grieving Soul has luck on par with King from One Punch Man. His random, flailing decisions all seem to work out for the best. Thus, he has gained a reputation as a peerless strategist. This has led to his fellow adventurers awarding him with the second name, "Thousand Tricks."

​@@ArchyPoppyyeah he's an artifact geek, kinda like the alchemist, Sitri, who is weak in body and requires tools to be powerful.

[@Jimera0]

I have my own pet theory that every member of Grieving Souls (including him) have one "stat" maxed out, leading them to be stupidly powerful. Thief girl has speed/agility/dexterity, alchemist girl has intelligence, sword guy has strength/attack, armor guy has endurance/defense, the mage has magic/willpower, and the protag? His maxed stat is Luck. A further part of the theory is that it's the luck stat that governs artifact affinity, hence why he seems to be so good with those. Would explain pretty much everything. Not just how his random flailing always seems to work, but also why everyone around him thinks he's amazing; he's somehow lucking his way into always looking like a genius even when he very much isn't. And of course part of the joke is that from his perspective, he doesn't feel lucky at all lol.

[@bigbigbig42]

The funniest decision yakuza fiance's manga ever made was having an extra chapter where the mangaka went out of their way to literally make it explicitly clear in print that all the male characters are misogynists. Also from the manga for the talker anime, from memory, made it pretty clear that people considered protag-kun's class the "weakest" in a physical strength sense, as the job has very little ability to fight one-on-one, and not because this is a world that thinks support abilities are somehow worthless. Chapter 2 is pretty good at explaining this particular aspect (and showing how protag-kun's support abilities are recognized as valuable), though I don't know how well the anime explained it.

[@Treegona]

Yeah, the difference between affection and respect. The whole damn (guy side of the) cast went out for smokes the day everyone got their respect women juice, and they haven't been seen since.

[@venandisicarius]

The anime did *NOT* explain it well at all lol. Both me and my mom were watching Notorious Talker and were befuddled that anyone with any amount of sense would think the Talker class is weak. Like there was one point where he explicitly says he can make his allies like 25% stronger and he calls it a weak buff, but like... could you imagine being able to do 25% more of everything? We thought it was a weird choice for such a claim to be made but figured that the other classes must be so busted that such buffs are largely irrelevant. Then we kept watching and that moment hasn't really happened yet unless you count his fight with the swordsman guy.

[@bigbigbig42]

And ever since seeing her amputate that one girl's leg like, "I ain't no hero magically gonna make everything all better," I been anticipating her getting her eye stabbed out.

Shocked that Geoff didn’t mention that in I’ll become a villainess the love interest (prince duke) first develops a crush on the MC when he sees her cut an apple falling out of a tree when she is 7 and he is 12-13 and also that the rival game protagonist MIGHT be unknowingly using mind control on all the love interests except for Duke and one of MC’s brothers

[@duncanlutz3698]

And the only reason the mind control doesn't work on those two is specifically because of the FMC has had "Prince Duke's" attention for far longer (gross) and the other is her literal brother. So he was already predisposed to siding with his own family over some random thot... although, sadly, their other brother remains whipped by the toxic Mary Sue.
