He stopped getting extra points for doing extra exercise. Before he was just filling the quest. He then found out that if he ran more than was required he gets bonuses. He then no longer got bonuses for doing extra work.
As for Stealth being OP, he mentioned that it was a rare skill that few obtain and that everyone that he's used it on has died. That would be sufficient enough to be considered OP in his mind. Compared to other things we've seen thus far, it does seem pretty powerful. He got tracked because he was putting out too much bloodlust, which seems to be an unfortunate side effect of who he is as a person. I imagine it would be harder to track anyone else who wasn't a hellbent killer like he was.
Yeah but her off-shoulder getup at the end made up for it all though.Originally Posted by David

The PLOT is about to retire with all it's ponytail and off-shoulder glory. We can't let this happen.

Chances are, the guy's going to approach him first. S rank ain't going to start this off by holding the E-rank's sister hostage.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah. I reckon the hunter association guy merely meant that if Jinwoo is planning to make himself scarce, disappear from the public eye, then he must take his family with him. However, in reality this doesn't really change anything, per se. He's planning to get a lot stronger in any case, regardless of any crazy S-rank dudes swearing vengeance.
Episode 10:
I mean, this is still somehow fun to watch, but did we really need another full episode of showing how badass the hero is? Woohoo, you intimidated and tricked a sales man, alright.
Something I didn't understand: So that A-rank guy tells him that an S-rank is after him and not just the hero himself but also his family aka sister are in danger. He ignores that entirely. What's his plan for the S-rank attacking his sister? :/
Also, guess we have a love interest? The school colleague of the sister who's an E-rank seems to like him. I SAW THAT BLUSHING!!!1

Episode 11
-- -- -
The fight animation was pretty good. I wouldn't call it exceptional or anything, but it seemed like the director had used the budget available well with the kind of fast cuts it had. Scenes with more complicated animation were few, perhaps, the artistic choices made up for it decently. That being said, it didn't really feel like an extremely tough fight, even if Jinwoo himself claimed so. Maybe because the opponent, despite having a name, was only introduced in this same chapter and had no personality or background. It's difficult to believe such an opponent could really win the fight.
As opposed to that, the bunch of elite hunters heading out to the infamous island seems more thrilling. After all, the main character can't die (although he did once), but all those other characters aren't similarly protected by plot armor.
God, I hate this shit so much. I already dread all the normie-fans who love Jujutsu Kaisen and Naruto and will go "whoah, the scene where he beat the red knight!!11". It was the most unearned victory I've seen in a battle-anime in a long time. He even said himself that it was a "fluke" and that the enemy was better in every area. Victory through writing. Cool ... not.
Nah, this has gotten really frustrating. There's just no fun in watching someone grow stronger who doesn't earn it. I want to see what makes him win, but there's nothing. Also, the anime does such a shit job at showing why that red knight was supposed to be a threat. "He's so fast!", the hero said ... and yet he's even faster, evading every single attack. Until he gets hit ... and then his body is sturdier than the massive stone wall that's crumbling from pressure behind him LOL.
There was a lot of potential for this story and setting, but the execution makes this an anime for 12 year olds. Fuck this shit.

To be fair, he's wearing magic armor now. Which can be as sturdy as the writer wants.
Making it all automatically invisible so the writer doesn't have to chance how his character looks was super lazy though...
It's also super stupid that MC has never thought to try...equipment...until now. That's right up there with "What do I need Int for?" in terms of 'shit nobody who's ever played a video game would do'.
The fight was boring because you know he'll win with some BS thing and you're just waiting to see what it'll be. That said, I thought the inventory re-equipping move was pretty neat. They also made the knight chivalrous enough to drop his sword for the unarmed fight, but also by having the knight draw his sword again first, the story removed MC's moral dilemma of pulling out his dagger again. Stocking the Ruler's Hand runestone for later felt like forced suspense. There's no demerit to unlocking that skill as soon as you obtain the item.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah, the one thing I hate about this show is he doesn't use his skills and items to their maximum. He kinda waits until he is forced before using them. In a game that makes sense because you want to save them, but games have retries.
Peace.
Episode 12/FINAL:
The only good thing I'll say is that they wrote a somewhat believable, plausible way for how Jinwoo managed to survive and win the dire situation.
The rest was bad, though. And now we have to wait? ugh
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
So... last fight was kinda cool... the necromancer stuff was neat as well - but that's all fine and how I expected it would be (for me).
I still believe season 1 will be the okay, heck, even good one and everything that will now follow will just turn it into something much worse.
Overall it wasn't a bad experience up until now. I'd be surprised if it remains that way.
I remember that the tone shifts from time to time in this show. Like for example the ghosts he summons do silly things and all that kind of stuff, I wonder if this will be done in the anime as well, I didn't really like that in the original.
