Buta Koushaku ni Tensei Shitakara, Kondo wa Kimi ni Suki to Iitai - Vol. 2 Ch. 9

SAO, Log Horizon and similar anime's status window interface is understandable, they're in game or at least before it turn into a real world so I have no problem with their game menu. I guess you're right, it's the lazy part of the authors to show character's growth from weak to strong. It really is easy to just showing numbers after all.

It's less that they imitated SAO's use of game mechanics and more that they imitated the sentiment SAO (or atleast early SAO) had towards protagonists which makes game mechanics useful. The idea of game mechanics in the form of rpg stats itself is just a shorthand to express ability which may be difficult to convey (or that they are too lazy to convey as you said) . It's an abbreviation of actual actions, skill, or abilities. Because of that it goes hand in hand with stories where they want just hand the mc power without it being based on any actual skill or knowledge. It's really the way to go if you want a bs self-insert talent-less ordinary mc who wins all their fights because "My numbers are bigger than yours!"

on a side note, ever see MUDs that use verbal descriptions instead of stats and points of damage? It's cools and more engaging but it's honestly confusing. I think in Lost Souls, if you attack using the elements temporal, chaos,order, entropy, and cutting you get something like "X was torn to shreds and evaporated by the power of your bureaucracy!" or something like that. Idk, it's been a long time and I've seen a lot of MUDs but thats probably it. Yeah, numbers are easier, even if really plain and boring.

[HuevoPodrido]

Well now, couldn't Harry Potter final battle be like this?

 

[Keansor]

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where this manga is planning on going. It's diverged wildly from the web novel while simultaneously using the same basic plot elements - hell this fight doesn't even happen until much later and in much different circumstances. Is the light novel different? Is there a light novel version, since neither mangadex nor novelupdates links to one? The differences so far have been somewhat baffling, so I just have so many questions.

@bramhistory
Apparently Slow is holding back both intentionally and unintentionally. He can't fight to his full potential due to his severe lack of combat experience (his low action/reaction ratio shows that), plus he wouldn't want to reveal all of his cards to the gallery observing the fight. It would actually be bad for him if the spy was defeated too easily, regardless of his ability to end the fight quicker. If the fight seems very challenging, yet he doesn't give up, it will make the other students and teachers think better of him, which is one of his major goals.

 

[Yamibi]

I need more of this. I love this serieeeeeeeeees!

@HuevoPodrido
xD haha yeah. HP fight was so anticlimictic...

@givemersspls

Wasn't SAO example of how can one go over game stats and achieve something more with skills alone?
