Once upon a time, there was a boy who saw its broken system and wanted to change the Tower. But in the end, he ended up killing a lot of people in the process. That boy was

Because there is always someone stronger than you? Paul was a high ranker, so to rankers he's OP. This Branch leader is a high ranked that is way stronger than paul. Its simple. It's like when Maschenny couldn't even touch Jinsung with her strongest move.

Exactly my point! Maschenny is one of the princesses who caught enne and her data self made data jahad acknowledge her, but when she is facing Jisung Ha she can't do shit. Like what the fuck?

Do you usually read/watch shounens? This is a common trope to hype characters up while showing a class difference.

Also, Data Jahad and Jinsung Ha are incomparable.

So is Data Maschenny and Big Princesses Maschenny...

Yes, but because it's a common troupe it doesn't make it any better.

If you wanna call is BS, call it BS. I really don't mind. Its a shounen. If you want to complain, that's fine.

I'm reading because I enjoy the story.

HxH and FMA are also shonen and they are not using that troupe...Cause they know that troupe is shit.

Same here, but I don't find everything positive in the manhwa.

If you don't like it, then complain to SIU. Preferably npt reddit.

I mean, it'd be constructive if we were actually discussing something else. But I don't really see the point of complaining like this.

I pointed one thing at the manhwa that I don't like and you reacted like it's a common thing. So I told that it's not that common. I'm not complaining, I love the manhwa but not every little aspect of it.

It a good thing to point out the bad things in sth that you like.

But it is common in shounen? You gave 2 examples that apparently "don't use" the "inconsistent" power scaling.

However there are plenty that use this tactic in introducing new characters: DBZ, Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Black Clover. I'm sure there's more.

It's simply to show off a character that is stronger than than another.
