What's the scariest creature in fantasy worlds? Demons? Devils? Dragons or Cthulhu Abominations? No, they're not! - It's a woman! Women are super scary! No matter how many gods and devils were defeated in prologue, or how much of a chad protagonist usually is, most jp/kr MCs will tremble when they meet this fantastic creature! Godslayer? Dragon Rider? A Hero? Transmigtator or even Reincarnator? It doesn't matter at all! As long as woman is near him he will suffer a 50% decrease in INT/WIS, start to stutter, blush and will eventually become speechless. To touch a woman? Impossible!!! It's much easier to go on a quest and subjugate another dragon than to do something so atrocious! Oh, you went through countless life-and-death battles? Took part in war between gods? Reincarnated several times and lived countless years? Well, that's easy. But did you try to accidentally touch a woman's hand and not die from a heart attack? What kind of Japanese hero are you if you haven't at least experienced this much? This kind of logic in some eastern fantasy novels is killing me.
Someone got dumped, let it out friend!!! Vent your frustration, reveal your pain, show us your anger!!! Plus Ultra!!! Let the blind guy see my sympathy Let the deaf guy hear my condolences Let mute speak my experience in this sort of thing Let an anosmics smell our pity to your situation Let an apathetic feel your grief Hello darkness my old friend
It's an opponent the author has never defeated. I was about to say beat, but that would lead to wrongness.
LMAO you forgot CN MC's who lived for 100 million years and have amassed an near infinite amounts of knowledge and experience but fail to control their lust in presence of..... You guessed it jade beauty What use is it if you lived for a zillion years yet act like a child at the very sight of a damsel in distress..... disappointing
Well, that is the kind of stereotypical MC the most known I guess, which is why characters like this one seem special XD
Aside from women. Zergs scare me. Also ghosts or evil sort of things in fantasy horror. Difficult to fight against those!
I think most Japanese (protagonists) are more scared of okamas than women, to be honest, but women are more common.
