I've read "Overpowered MC manga" before, and this is definitely not one I can include in a list of my favorites. You'll see a lot of clichés, ass pulls, and weird jokes.
For 80 chapters, it feels like there is absolutely no character growth from the MC or his partner (who's as interesting as a brick wall), and none of the characters get any development. It's a very generic comedy mixed with the OP MC trope that few will enjoy.
Characters: 1
The main cast of this manga is extremely mediocre and has no personality besides their unique quirks or backstory. Most of them are built on clichés
...
(stupidly overpowered MC, idol girl abused by greedy parents, girl with terminal disease who gets cured), and the villains are no different. There's the game admin, the villain who thinks he's curing the world (obviously corrupt), the reincarnated warrior, etc. You'll only get 1 or 2 good character moments for the more frequent characters, and then they will never appear again or do anything significant. Either that, or you get thrown into the story 2/3 with even worse character traits.
Art 4
The artist sure knows how to draw some good monsters, especially when representing the scenery in "The Nest of Urus" and the normal monsters of any MMORPG. The only reason this category isn't ranked higher is because I have to include in this session the number of thirst panels for the female cast and absurd (yet sometimes funny) exaggerated expressions that make me feel like I'm watching an episode of Uncle Grandpa on Cartoon Network. Especially in later chapters, you'll find an unbearable amount of panels where the only thing to see is some dialogue and any female character in a sexualized position with 300% better art quality than any other normal panel.
Story: 1
It's just an open-world MMORPG with a bunch of weekly villains for the main character to beat up with their OP stick. I hate the story because it is literally just centered around this one guy who just got really lucky, and now all the story can do is restrain the main character to stretch the plot a chapter or two (or 10). This includes trapping the MC in another dimension, taking the stick away from the MC, trapping the MC in another dimension AGAIN, making a villain that is immune to the stick, etc., but of course he will get some absurd power-up or ridiculous ass pull when there's an obstacle. By chapter 2, he is already the most powerful character in the series, and that isn't interesting at all and leaves little to no room for conflict besides the other characters being useless when he's not around. The story is rushed as fuck (which is actually a plot point, somehow?) and somehow still slow, and in the end, the plot has more trouble containing the MC than the MC himself.
Enjoyment: 2
I would give this category a 1, but I did read 82 chapters of this pile of shit. If you don't have as much of a critic view, it is possible to enjoy this somewhat sick humor of the MC climaxing (??) every time he beats up someone, but honestly, with so many repeated jokes, ass pulls, and clichés, it's really hard for me to give this a good rating. I can only recall laughing 1 or 2 times when reading this, which is definitely subpar for a series with over 80 chapters. Overall, a 2/10.
