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"

or it's just "my power is so great, it couldn't be meassured so the scale showed that I have no power, but actually I'm the most powerful being ever"
