the post war arc, even with the stupid over the top powers and BS, it was entertaining to watch, you only had to turn off part of your brain and keep going, keep in mind that I already dropped/paused this once like 3 years ago when the MC finally released all his powers but all that just to change focus to his clone and yet another tournament (that by that point, had no sense and no security or integrity prize for anyone participating) so it was like a reset... That was a mistake but I recently started reading again and found the Mori Hui lovable and cool and then the MC comes back too! Everything was in preparation for this moment, the climax is here and the most epic battle of the univers- NO ! Because after the war everything changed and went back to FUCKING 0 AGAIN with the "protagonist" looking even weaker now and completely different and apparently another tournament? no fucking way... I'm done!
Author is making this as if it was a game with sequels, where you can't start the Second game being lvl 99 with all your skills unlocked and legendary items from the previous game or you just change the protagonist to something similar to give it a sense of progression. But that only works well in games and with a good story, this one had a shaky hold of it's own story but it was there, but it all went to shit and fast.
