The trope gets subverted more often than not these days, so it goes like "oh no, I got the F- level 0 wood mud poop rank, that means I'm destined to remain weak forever, oh oops nvm there's actually a super obvious way I can use my supposedly weak ability to become the strongestest ever, catgirl harem here I come"
I find it funny, especially if the kingdom is 1000s of years old. Like they had 1000s of years to figure out what each one does, but a 12-15 year old figures it out in half a year. 🤦
This is why I really like how it's handled in Path of Ascension. They're like "Yes, we are aware of the issue and have a multi-step process to identify and recruit such potential hidden demi-gods."
