author, author, author... look. you can't just take some op powers like that and pretend they're weak. it doesn't really matter what his other stats are. he can freaking teleport. just go right behind a dude and shiv. you don't need a lot of strength. and almost nobody at his level would have the reaction time to counter. especially if they're underestimating him. and telekinesis, even at the strength of a glass of water, is still mf telekinesis. you know what else weighs the same as a glass of water? a freaking knife.a sharp, pointy, shiv you in the back kind of knife. no party in their right mind would look down on that kind of assassinry. it's not "kill stealing" he's part of the team and just pulling his own weight. his other stats should have no bearing on his capabilities since his powers are strictly magical in nature anyways. so what of his growth is a little slow? every single team that has any intelligence would give anything to cultivate that kind of ability regardless of other stats. it just doesn't make since no matter how much you expect us to suspend our disbelief. if you wanted us to believe he's weak, just make his only ability the part where he absorbs all nutrients into his magic power. then, at the start of the story, he unlocks these two op powers because he's reached some sort of saturation point. idk man, it's just so weird saying freaking teleportation is somehow, in any way, weak.
(No Spoilers) Just saying, as someone who read a lot of the novel and is now rereading it, I keep seeing a lot of people who say that the author is copying Arifureta and Solo Leveling and that the concept is trash, but if you were actually not stupid you would see some major flaws in that. Later on in the story, (granted it does take quite awhile) it becomes completely original, and something only slightly similar to the other two. Even at the beginning, you can already see that the author has a plan for this novel, and it is definitely going somewhere. (Spoilers Ahead) If you were looking into how it becomes original, he eventually has to create his own interconnecting network of mana veins, something unrelated to the other two previously mentioned stories. He has to do this by getting a wise grandmaster to teach him (another original thing) and he finds the expert in another world.
