Manga readers, when is this show going to get serious or never?

Noisrev said:
7 eps in and so far it's just overlord with the misunderstandings but with a cringey af MC, I'm very close to dropping this, the MC is maximum cringe

The MC being a chunni and doing cringe stuff is done INTENTIONALLY by the author and that's the point of the show why tf don't you guys understand?
"iT's sO cRiNge" learn to differentiate between cringe and irony

Kudzio said:
I really cant stand people who dont know what they are watching. Have you ever met with a word "parody"? If not, i recommend to search it on internet, its a useful common knowledge, you know?

Noisrev said:
enlighten me what is this show parodying?

Noisrev said:


Intentionally? For what purpose then, what's the goal?

Literally most of Isekai animes, you can clearly see it from the beginning. Cid gets isekaied by a truck, is overpowered and always seems to be a move ahead of his enemies but in reality doesnt know what he's doing, does nothing but at the end makes all the girls fall for him and slowly builds his harem etc. Everything is just heavily exagerated, idk why people cant notice that

I dropped on its 3rd episode I just hated the MC the sense of superiority he has, I couldn't take it.

Kudzio said:

And even the nuke scene aka "I am atomic"
Like come on... you wont get a better hint that this is a parody and not your regular "dude gets isekaied and wants to control the world" anime

Noisrev said:
there's no indication it's parodying anything, this show is just those, isekai with overpowered MC, truck kun. A parody will still indicate it's a parody, having those tropes doesn't make this a parody

Akirarara said:


To sell the viewers that this guy is a chuunibyou and lives in his own head. That this guy is a self serving narcissist who literally don't care about anything or anyone other than to serve his fantasy. But since he doesn't actually care about people and only do good things for "style points", his actions seem extremely dishonest and cringy.

Literally every show with an Overpowered MC.

and a show with a anti-hero MC who does things behind the scene. this is spoon fed in the second episode when he adjusts himself before he introduces to Alpha, or in 4th episode when he is setting up the room before Beta comes to meet him.

and many more. You just need to figure out for yourself mate

Kudzio said:

Okay, so you are basically telling me that you need to have "parody" tag under the title to perceive it as a parody? So uh, when you are watching a funny movie, you need to be told "hey in case you cant notice it, this is a comedy" in oder to know its a comedy?

Noisrev said:


So basically no purpose, as if that wasn't obvious from the start, showing and repeating that is just pointless and assuming the viewers won't get his a chuuni until what 20 eps? That's dumb

Noisrev said:
generic isekais always been exaggerated, I think you guys are just assuming this is a parody just to defend it's terrible attempt at comedy

Akirarara said:


I just told you. The cringe serves as an element between the reality and how mc portrays things. It's not suppose to be a one and done that just disappear for the rest of the show. As long as mc is deluded and not realize everything the cringe is not going anywhere.

Noisrev said:


Having all these trope doesn't make this a parody, if anything it just indicates its one of the usual generic isekais, nothing here indicates parody

Kudzio said:

"defend it's terrible attempt at comedy", well this is just your opinion against thousands of others. When a majority of people see something you dont seem to understand, you still stick to your opinion and wont try to change your mind, right? No offence but you give a vibe of such person. I explained what i wanted to explain, if that's not enough then there's no point in further conversation because it wont bring any conclusion

V1P3R0P said:

It's not about having the tropes. It's about how the tropes are executed. There is a clear difference on how the tropes were executed in this show compared to other shows and thats how this show is a parody.
The manga is very much exaggerated when it comes to comedy, but the anime is using dry humor instead. So I wont blame you if you can't laugh at the jokes.

Noisrev said:


Like what I said to the other guy, generic isekais always been exaggerated, I think you guys are just assuming this is a parody just to defend it's terrible attempt at comedy

Noisrev said:
that's bandwagon fallacy, popular opinion ≠ correct

I asked what it's parodying and you bring up it's tropes somehow, again having those tropes doesn't make this a parody, stop strawmaning, there's no clear sign of parody

Kudzio said:

Aight, so you cant understand that parodying tropes is a thing which causes the show to become a parody and prefer to call my explanation "strawmaning"
That will be everything from me, there really is no point in further discussion when it doesnt lead to anything. You might as well stop replying to all the other people because its just a waste of your time (thats just my honest advice).
Bye, have a good day

it's easy here author wants to portray an MC who isn't well pretty different than other Isekai MCs like in case of let's say Anos who is such an intelligent clever and from the beginning fighting villains and ultimately his rival but in Cid's case author doesn't want to go the same old way MC badass, beats the shit of everyone but here he's trying to do something different a dumb MC but powerful. It's in even his dialogues u can understand he always wants to be side character or background character but in Isekai u see they are the main protagonist doing this and that.
It ain't cringe it's trying to make a new status quo rather than following status quo. Hope u understand

Noisrev said:
except he isn't different, like other mc he's overpowered, he's also intelligent and clever from the very beginning, we've seen so many MC's before who doesn't want to stand out whether it be tactically or emotionally, be it consciously or subconsciously, having facades, flying below the radar, this is nothing new, he's not that different from other MC's tbh

Noisrev said:


Simply having those tropes does not make this a parody, by your logic anything with a trope is a parody, what indicates a trope parody than simply having the trope whilst not being one
