Is this cliche dying out? I can't recall the last time I saw it. Lately it seems to be something like:

>MC literally cannot die (UQ Holder)
>"Enemy" is actually a good/neutral character secretly teaching MC the hard knocks of life

Yes, but
1. He wasn't allowed to use his sword and both of his grimoires,
2. Anna used spirits to make his Magic King power go wild in a crucial moment.

If he went all out without any restrictions and interferences, he would probably be able to destroy Arin and Yui.
He still would loose though, since it was a magic research show-off, not a classic powerlevel tournament.

I hate the fact he's interested in the queen bitch who bullied him. He hated her instinctively because she reminded him of his mother, now he's feeling romantic feelings for her? freud would have a field day with that one.

doubtful. Yui is stupid powerful in her own right. What made Arin and Yui so unbeatable is they actually trained together and worked as a team. the MC and titsmcgee basically walked in with no plan or strategy and were correctly steamrolled for it.

She didn't do anything to him.
Also that series was good for approximately 50 chapters. Then it turned into shit.
>>
>>119086556
And even that can be solved by making the MC a book worm, for the fight academy.
The more power levels and weird shit that is involved in the shounen, the more you wonder if "If somebody sat down, studied, and used all base material to speed up their progress, would it work?".

>>119087204
No, its one of the rarer clichés.
Especially if the MC is any sort of power house. At some point the writer sits down and ask himself: "Wouldn't 2-3 chase and run chapters be better than being spared?"

I'd like a romance story where the girl has a legitimately good reason to fall for the main character rather than something stupid like him being nice to her or because of a promise made when they were 6.

It's fine if they're attractive. What's retarded is when the most popular/hottest girl in the school falls for a guy because of that one time he helped her.
>>
>>119088992
The best transformations are when a character is a nice guy and then turns into an edgelord(Tokyo Ghoul) or when the character is an edgelord and turns into a nice guy (Vinland Saga).
>>
>>119087204

That's kind of the same thing though. The cliche isn't the fact that "it's a whim", it's more the fact that "the bad guy is clearly established as being much more powerful and has won this fight, but the MC will avoid not dying due to a cop-out otherwise the story can't continue."

It doesn't matter if the reason the MC is spared is because of whim, or time is limited, or if the ceiling conveniently collapses on him and the bad guy thins "Well surely he's dead now."

>I'd like a romance story where the girl has a legitimately good reason to fall for the main character
Bakemonogatari.
Crab almost got raped because of her mother, got cursed into a weirdo, lost shitload of money on numerous scammers that she trusted will help her. She was lonely, scared, and couldn't trust anyone.
Then some guy comes and finds out about her curse, she then physically assaults him to shut him up(this pretty much indicates that she probably did the same thing to others that found out, but others don't have vampire powers like Araragi to ignore it), he ignores her death threats and helps her. I know a lot of people wouldn't do that, but he went through some crazy shit himself, I don't think it's that unreasonable to think he understands how she somewhat feels.

While that sounds extremely fucking generic(especially if you haven't watched it), he's overall a much more interesting and entertaining character with his sharp tongue and interesting dialog(crab specifically said that she is having fun talking to him when she confessed)

If you watched the show, think about it this way:
if you were any of the girls that loves the nice guy generi-kun, would you even be friends with him? I sure wouldn't.
But imagine if it was Arararagi and you were Crab, I'd be all over him.

I know that it's hard to imagine that such a beautiful girl is that lonely, that's she'd use a motherfucking stapler, and that both characters are so perfectly witty and charming, but it's fiction after all.

Too bad the series after Bake completely butchered the relationship and turned the show into a generic harem.

Here's the ultimate anti cliche.

Episode 1 of the story begins with a superhero with a huge harem of girls interested in him and living with him. Midway through, something happens and he loses his powers. Then, one by one through the next twelve episodes, each member of his harem leaves him and moves out. It ends with him waking up an hour late because his childhood friend didn't come wake him up, so he rushes off to class on his own.

Read any light novel MC. Pretty much all of them are powerful, not because they trained for it or worked hard, but because they were born with special abilities few possess. It makes sense and it should feature more in the medium: some people are just simply better than most at certain fields because of genetics.

None of them were.

If Zen didn't have devil style, the rival band would have likely been someone else's sibling and friends, and the plot would be complicated and mired by that connection.

But because he did, they just fought a group of professional singers.

That's why it''s a double-edged sword. It paid off in the end, though.

I guess that may be the case. But I want an MC who's a real ass about it; think about if you gave a random COD-playing shit-head super-powers and told them to fight evil.

I want to see an MC hold back on their powers, act cool and composed like a typical MC until they start losing; then they get jerk-y and angry and just pull out over-powered bullshit weaponry and flatten the enemies.

Basically I want more protagonists like Momoka-sama.

Saitama very explicitly isn't a hero though, he's kind of an asshole and doesn't get involved unless he gets personally involved i.e. getting his groceries stomped on by the monster.

I'd imagine it'd go something like "i've used devil style, all your special fate has been negated" and he just one-punches it anyway.

I wonder why Japanese couldn't write a more casual relationship, it was always full of drama, wish fulfillment, obsessive faggotry, and muh prose. Once it toned down, all you've got is just annoying harem fanservice and (God forbid!) an open ending. Once it was eliminated too, all you have is just a dumbed down teenage fanfiction.

You know Rurouni Kenshin?

MC is also powerful at the start but it wasn't because he is the 'choosen one' or any genetics bullshit. He was simply trained hard before the series even began. And it still doesn't eliminate the (short) training sub-arc when he went to meet with his (former) mentor only to gain his Ougi (Not to went on another lengthy basic training).

It was far better than the usual extreme left/right (MC is strong because he is strong or MC is weak then became strong)

No, no. You idiot. You're the big bad guy, you tell the autistic engineers what to do. It's your job to whine about all the little things that can make it better, in case you aren't aware that is how a creation is perfected. Unless you look at a piece of shit you made with many obvious improvements that can be made, but think to yourself "Better not whine about it, it'll probably be fine like this". You tell me to end myself, but that's exactly what you'd end up doing if you were ever put in charge of something like that. Just like every other evil whatsit that got his shit pushed in by the good guys, you would be the one major fuckup in the whole plan that could have brought home the gold with a little common sense.
