The Diary of a Middle-Aged Teacher's Carefree Life in Another World - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Ossan encounters a trope

Well this series looks... Not great so far. He seems to have gone from "I really don't want to kill anything" to "Fuck off, bandits. You should get the hell out of here" to "I won't be leaving any of you alive, scum" at the drop of a hat. Seems really high and mighty tooting his own horn with the whole "You are nothing but a bump in the road" and "I'm such a capable annihilator" thing too, while I get the impression the series is going to act like he's really humble.
Well, hopefully I'm just jumping the gun here. It's only the second chapter - not really a good basis to judge a series off of.
 
The speech bubbles look like they've been cleaned with really light grey instead of white. It doesn't make it unreadable, but it's a little distracting.
 
Honestly I find this hilarious so far but these mob characters are stupid as heck. You see your friends froze to death and yet still cocky... how the hell did this grandpa be so weak? Lol
 
Am I the only one to think there is a problem with a rabbit level 300, I mean he could go to a city and destroy everything in his path XD.
 
LOL, Damn this manga, that came out of nowhere. I spilled the cola I drank in front of my monitor. 🤣
 
@UnknownSaint111 maybe they believed (since it’s such a major skill) that he ran out of mana? And that’s the reason he threatened because it was just a front
 
Kinda cool that he doesn;t try to hide it, I mean he's clearly almost god level anyways with those GM stats
 
@SilverSun Saitama was an adrenaline junkie... so for him, it made sense... Saiki Kusou also had a good reason with all the negatives and stuff (though he later learns to appreciate them more)...

I feel like these authors just saw that and tried to plug in the trope without actually thinking about the reason. So even though the power is only a benefit, he complains, because other series had the character complain about the power... it's like they want the same result, but don't think about the why.

If the cost of power is what you love, then yes, it would make sense that he'd feel cursed... but instead, for him, the power was basically a free gift without cost... so it's stupid...

@HomeSlice Yes, it's plain stupidity... the author just tried to copy Saitama without the substance.
