It's really disappointing to see the toxicity of this website striking down yet another talented author. I cannot really refute the people that say that the Tumour plotline was a little out of nowhere, however compared to other novels on this site it's nothing in comparison, so I can get over it. The novel's merits outweigh the bumps in the experience. All the work the author has put into actually establishing their OC character and setting had given me the confidence to continue reading to see where the author will go and try to develop their story, even if it's sometimes poorly executed. The story of an OP MC with inconsequential setbacks, power fantasy route, is worn out, and I'm honestly sick of it. Putting down authors who 'dare to to do something different' on the site is just encouraging people to post bad quality writing and what I'd consider 'trashy power fantasies' that drown out the actually well thought out power fantasies. If you don't like MC's facing any kind of setback, fine, you like what you like. However, it's toxic to pass off novels that don't cater to your specific masculine power fantasies, as 'bad'.
Hey, author. I like your story, but I just wanted to point out that there isn't anything wrong with your "nerf." It's just that amongst this community, it is detested as an action of adding random plots to justify development. You mentioned that you took this action to justify the MC progressing in a more efficient usage of his powers. However, you could have easily accomplished this by writing that the MC realized that his power was barely effective against the Nomu. Hence he decided to train his efficiency with his power. I believe that simple is better, as shown by One Piece's Luffy. Sometimes, adding a random plot ends up offending people on top of making your character more "beta," as people say. I hope this helps and you continue writing this story.
I'll be honest I don't even mind nerfs that much but the tumor thing felt very forced and I honestly can only view things turning worse from here because all I can see is angsting about the tumor, overcoming not being able to brute force things, followed by the "nerf" being removed or otherwise rendered effects null, followed by more angst when people find out about the tumor stuff, and that doesn't sound fun to me and I figured most others feel the same. otherwise though good story motives and character minus tumor thing.
i'm happy with your novel, i dont know why People always want invincible Mc that kill, take everything he wants make a harem rule the world... i realy dont get the apeal... but i like the yasuo Mc the one that has insecurity but so has charism, Mc like naruto( my favorite is luffy, but he he more on the charism side of things)
Some people don't change. We don't want a saitama copy in MHA cuz it will destroy the plot. The way the author says 'nerfed' says that it's a barrier that can be passed it ain't permanent. Most likely MC will get some revelation while fighting a super regen Nomu or something. So stop spamming 1 stars, it shatters a writer's trust
The online community anywhere tends to be toxic. This limitation not only forces him to make new moves other than "Squish," "Squash," "Shield," and "Throw," it also will highlight just why him working on control for most of his life is so valuable. Sure him not getting to Tatsumaki levels of pure output is a bummer, but he's not Tatsumaki. He's an OC, in the end. Plus, all other powerful Quirks have drawbacks, like Todoroki freezing or cooking himself and Bakugo causing microfractures and muscle tears in his arms. He'll, Momo actively consumes her fat cells (which we need to live) to create stuff, she could literally starve herself to death mid fight.
lol dude dont let those comments dismay you from updating. keep on updating and sooner or later they will forget about this minor plot line. if they cant excercise the patience to wait for you to solve the plot YOU made for YOUR fic, then can leave and come back when its solved. Dont forget there are also readers here who likes to keep reading good written works like this.
Nah dude, a little late of me to say this but dont listen to the hate you receive, sure it could be demoralising at times to see your work belittled because of a 'nerf' in the character but that is just people who want op all the time. My best advise for you is to just do what you want with the story, it is your own creation after all and if you let other people control it then it's not your own anymore. Go at your own pace and do what you want with it, it doesnt matter if its adding an obstacle that limits the mc for the time being or making them super op, just do what you want, make this story yours and yours only. That is all I have to say.
the tumour makes sense the way you wrote it in it felt necessary like you did a good job not making him a Gary sue and making him not infallible by adding some hesitance and the major lack of experience actually mattering even tho he strong. like with the way he is described there is no point to stay at school otherwise, he just bulldozed everything and could have been a pro hero. now he has to learn finesse, now he has to be creative and he has to stay at school for that protection while he learns. otherwise it would have gotten kinda stale ya know? the attack on 2A is a wake up for everyone and we needed a bit more strife.
