I really don't get people hating on overpowered MC in a tower end of the world type thing.
I think it all boils down to preference.
But if I had to say in a more observant tone, maybe it's because the OP Mc trope, when executed badly, waters down the mc into only the strong character traits without the vulnerability of human emotion and nature more often than not. And an mc who gets everything they want with an apathetic sort of demeanor oftentimes lacks depth (especially if they have a bland motive), which might feel repetitive for readers.
tbh I think overpowered MCs can be interesting when done right and aren't devoid of deep motives, emotions, and actually fun personality
Tbh I totally understand what you're saying. This is the shortest topic I've ever posted ..... Because it just disappeared lol. It was twice as long as your comment too.. it was because someone was hating just on the trope but commented on a single story not as a topic.
I like the trope because it's healing. It's sometimes nonsense but it's not harmful to the mind lol. In my rant that disappeared I mentioned how fked my brain ended up by the betrayal in shoujo and the toxic relationships in yaoi. It's good to have a MC that doesn't die so easily because sometimes you just want the story to go on and on. I also asked to recs for anything similar or weird plots where there's no romance lol. Like Leveling Up by only Eating, The Ultimate Shut In, or Leveling Up with Skills.
I'm sad it disappeared cause now it looks like I'm begging for an argument lmao I did mention it was a preference thing too but just to not take it out on a single story. They can post a topic lol. I mean even I've seen the same trope over and over in other genres yk? It's never overused to me. Sometimes when something is over wayyy to soon for a reader it's great there's something similar to read next. Rant over sorry.
And yes you're totally right about the MCs emotion. I like when they have a motion to drive them!
Seeing your take, I totally get where you're coming from. There's a sense of security when you know that your main character won't get easily pushed over especially due to external means.
I also have a similar reading pattern when it comes to preference! I especially love stories with the "transmigrated into a story MC read" trope. And I don't think it'll ever feel old or overused for me any sooner. It's fun to see how different authors tackle the same trope with their own unique twists to it, be it through character, world building, etc.
MCs who suffer in vain just for the sake of having the MC baggage can feel so heavy and unnecessary without a proper resolution, so I really understand you finding it healing when the MC can actually stand up for/protect themselves.
Yeah frfr I've been reading them all week. Yk it's bad then you don't even check daily for chapters. I was going days sometimes a week before coming back on here and I love to read. READING IS LIFE. Lol but it was so hard to find something with no romance. I need at least a few months before getting back into anything that might be toxic. Plus parent manhwa/webtoons are okay but theres just not enough action sometimes.
Oooo love that one! And yeah sometimes people die in those tower dungeon stories but I like when they're alone. That way it takes a while to get attached to side characters so they won't feel that emotion burden so easily. (⌒▽⌒)
Recs for manhwas like Leveling Up By Only Eating and Solo Farming in the Tower.
Something with ACTION and FOOD? OR with something where they're on their own and leveling with something ridiculously weird like cooking.
Anything with either games/towers/gates/rifts.
Please and thank you

I like both of the art styles tbh.. the scene where he goes against the black skull trio was wayyy sooner in the 2nd version and the characters were completely different so I did get confused so I started from chapter 1 again. I like how the trio was drawn in the 1st version. So it's sad how I can't see how their version of characters from that art style since it ended so soon.
