    Each one having their own agenda is rare. There was one I read about everyone betraying the MC because he was a lowly human then each went to do their stuff but he MC because such an overpowered trope character that I dropped it by chapter 70ish. Something about unlimited Garcha 9999 or whatever.

    The extremely common trope is that the whole party conspires against the MC, which then turns into a revenge story. Then sometimes they still are assholes, other times they are sorry… But yeah.

      Oh i read it too lmao, i decided to continue to read it to see how much worse it would get, the MC is just so fucking overpowered and at some point they manage to get hold of some fucking country and bullshit, the world building is decent tho and not totally unrealistic that everyone looks down on humans

        Ha no, I held out until they were going under earth with some dwarves or some bullshit. My tolerance for crap is very high lol.

        The discrimination thing is believable, what’s not believable is how people act when someone clearly incredibly powerfull shows up, just because of the race. I get racism, but he freaking obliterated so much stuff, it’s crazy the disrespect he still gets.

        It’s the classic trope of the author not knowing how to evolve a story and recycling the same plot several times. When they finally evolved the story with the dwarves thing, it became extremely boring which shows that the author doesn’t know how to actually write a story outside of tropes, that’s why I dropped it.

          how people act when someone clearly incredibly powerfull shows up,

          Exactly, “oh you are a human! You must be weak as fu-” start flexing it’s power “ah- you must be clearly cheating or sum” YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE, STFU AND RUN

          Anyway, yeah i dropped it too
