The Old Man Who Awakened the Skill "Domination of All Things" has Decided to Make a Living by Conquering Dungeons - Chapter 8

I don’t think this story will last. It’s already writing itself into a corner. It’s a shame though. It shouldn’t have let the protagonist subdued Sakurako for the sake of creating a harem. I wonder if this was forced upon the artist by the editorial team. Bad idea. This is called power escalation. It will ruin the story because now you have to start ret-conning to reduce this power and the story will be a mess.

This kind of over powered power is really only suitable for a main character who has no intention of ever working with others. A good example is Light Yagami (aka The Dark God) in Death Note who was an antagonist. Another is One Punch Man, The Cape Baldie is only a protagonist because he has no desire to use his power at all, for good or for evil, he just wants *a regular life* as a *regular person* in peace.

Another alternative would be a Puppet Master or a Dungeon Master who uses His/Her power to *drive the events* of a story, either for good or for evil, but doesn’t intrude into the lives of other and thus play not active roles in the story, only passive roles. I think this was how our God worked. But I suspect, He/She got tired and may have decided to *let go of the power* and become *one of us.* But, then who is the “new mater?” What if that position got usurped by Light Ygami?

What if “Ryuk” was God but let Light Yagami took over His job because He wanted to eat Apple like regular humans while watching all the chaos unfold just so that He can feign responsibility. What if our God is really a Demon?

Don’t worry, I think our True God is probably more like One Punch Man, a person who just want to be lazy and be as *normal* as possible. And maybe, maybe, just like Sheryl Crow sang, He/She is actually “one of us.” So be nice to the people next to you, you might be talking to the True God, aka The Cape Baldie.

Thank you for reading another entry in The Annales of WuLiWenPin Publishers. We write nonsense-scholarships to explain the world with nonsense … and manga.

I know you young folks are mostly either agnostic like I was or atheist. It’s fine. In fact, it’s more than fine. I am serious because One Punch Man would be super happy if you think he is really C-ranked hero because that’s average, and average is good … because this means we just need to improve everyone’s average to make One Punch Man to not stand out, right?
