Our MC I mean XD
Isn’t it more that the MC doesn’t realize his own power? Because during the Monk’s POV, it was mentioned that he felt his huge energy. And I think the person who just arrived simply can’t feel his spiritual power, a bit like during the Aizen vs the World arc, where only Ichigo could sense his spiritual power.
I might be wrong, but adding Nen feels unnecessary to me, MC is already way too overpowered, and it doesn’t even make sense because the chakra system and the Nen system overlap. Also, Nen can only be perceived by people who have Nen. For others, it’s just a dark aura (for example: Gon and Killua vs Hisoka). And there’s something else to consider: if he uses Nen and doesn’t kill his opponents, they could awaken Nen, like we saw in the Chimera Ant arc. Since there was a strong focus on the MC’s fuinjutsu, I thought Netero’s techniques would be done through that. But if Nen is added to the equation, it becomes a mess. That’s a shame.
Quick question, what’s the point of giving him so many powers if he never uses them? The only powers he uses are his sacred weapon and his breathing technique. (Oops, I forgot Sanji’s cooking…) Even though he gained FMA-style alchemical powers, we’ve never seen him use them. Kinda a shame tbh, because the universe and the characters are cool.
Honestly, not great. The story starts with a very dark and tragic childhood for the protagonist, but I don’t really see the point of it. Considering everything he goes through, it would have made way more sense for him to become a villain, or at least a character heavily affected by his past. Even taking into account that he lived two lives, his personality just doesn’t match his background at all. He’s still obsessed with heroes and acts like a very classic Superman-type good guy. It feels like nothing he experienced, in either his first life or his second one, had any negative impact on him. His past is there, but it doesn’t matter for his character development. On top of that, the narrative logic doesn’t work. There’s no point in giving a character such a dark backstory if it never affects him. There are no inner conflicts, no doubts, no real consequences. He gets through everything on his own, without any real hero stepping in to guide him, and in the end he just joins UA like it’s nothing. Basically, either the dark backstory should have been used to make the character more complex, or it shouldn’t have been there at all. If the goal was to write a simple, classic good-guy hero, then this dark beginning is completely pointless.
You should have told him... ^^
