Game of Familia: Kazoku Senki - Vol. 2 Ch. 5 - Lightning Meteorite

[mommy]

@w4ffles I feel like while the father always had that hidden side to him, in contrast, the MC always had the talent but currently is forcing himself to be like that out of necessity. I think the younger sister saying all of that kinda proofs it but I also honestly think he enjoyed his time with the queen
@Legion_01 Isn't it more like they can really read other people's mind and see their weaknesses?

 

[bramhistory]

Oh finally the grunts doing the best they can and not only dead in one panel

 

[TheHoblit]

yay someone picked this up!

 

[Lazycakes]

doesn't seem that odd that she wouldnt call him "dad". he would have been her step-brother

 

[Miros]

20k? Ainz-sama would be proud

 

[gaigous]

@Legion_01 You mean from trash to treasure, average MC with an amazing family has been done to death, this is a subversion of that crap trope.

 

[Chocolat]

What can this man *NOT* do exactly

 

[PotatoZero]

What does adding fire and thunder have to do with summoning meteor..?

 

[chendu]

@ PotatoZero, Add to the dramatic effect ! also maybe charging it so it does more damage when landing
Tanks for the food

 

[Legion_01]

@gaigous : the OP MC, that's perfect from hed to toe is a corny and trite cliché that personally i cannot stand.
We'll have to agree to disagree. ?
For me is trash now, hence i will drop it

 

[Hollow7F]

fucking threw a meteor on them!

 

[ProfStryker]

@Legion_01 this MC kidnapped the Queen, f*cked her while threatening the King, tricked the neighboring kingdom into sending at 20,000 man invasion force to take advantage of the opening and then casually executed them. You have a really screwed up definition of "perfect."

 

[silverden]

@ProfStryker he didnt really trick the neighboring kingdom into invading, instead he forced the royal guard to help his family while he took over their position. i think i explained that badly, think of it as he defended the kingdom while the royal guard was forced to defend his family.

 

[Enceeee]

God dayum that meteorite, i wouldve loved to see the aftermath of that explosion ?

 

[gaigous]

@Legion_01 Average MCs have deus ex machina such as friendship magic, the power of love, and other convenient plot devices, which I despise, so yeah, apparently so.

If you like weak to strong MCs, I recommend Psyren, and Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer if you haven't read them.

 

[ProfStryker]

@silverden still a trick, he knew they would attack if the army was gone, so he made sure the army left and then waited to ambush the invaders. He made them do what he wanted by showing them what they wanted to see, in this case apparent weakness. Now none of the other nations will dare try anything and the army is free to help his family without worrying about the boarders.

 

[ProfStryker]

@gaigous Psyren was amazing but I'm not sure I'd classify it as having an "average weak to strong" MC. He was OP from the moment his power manifested, he just couldn't control it. I don't think he actually got a power up until "Nova."

 

[silverden]

@ProfStryker good point. A genius move on his point and proves that he really is the shadow guardian of his family.

 

[Legion_01]

@ProfStryker someone that at his first try manages to make a pact with all the elemental gods,that manages to make every woman he meets, even after a minute in heat (stepmom, sisters, queen, insert any NPC name), who is cool, composed, clear headed even in moments of crisis, that is 3 steps ahead and manages to pull off a major kidnapping at the fist try is not perfect?!?
Dude, if that is not perfect, nobody is.

 

[gaigous]

@ProfStryker Indeed it was. My first line of text was to address the issues I have with the writing of most manga with average MCs, and the second was a recommendation for manga with weak to strong MCs, not average weak to strong MCs, sorry for the confusion.
