    Hello everyone,

    So I'm currently reading the new gate. I read the note on Oniichanyamete for the mc;
    "Even when people have disrespected him, he's mature enough that he just stays humble and incognito to avoid trouble. I personally hated this aspect of him, as it made for a more boring character in my opinion."

    So I just a a question for people who have read this to the last translated chapters, will he stay annoyingly humble? And will his strengh be known to people at least a bit?
    I mean what's the point of giving that much strengh to someone if this guy is a total wimp?Like when a noble almost spit on him ordering him to say his name and he responds politely or like being wary of the fist gauntlet of a lv220 no reincarnated human, or use just a bit of power and "Oh no, it's not suficient, let raise a bit more strengh" not enough: "Let's use more strengh" he won: "phew, that was hard".
    ...This guy is really on my nerve....
    So he stays Wimpyman? I know that he has some cool battle but will he reveal a his strengh to the world?

    So far. No, he hasn't revealed to the world his power, just to a few people. But I don't think he should be a wuxia hero that just kills all who disrespect him if that is the type of mc you are thinking of. lol :p

    What do you expect from an JP novel? With their classic humble and pissing their pants standards of making an MC, you can't get much "I'm OP, I'm gonna shove it in your face how strong I am"

    Reveal your strength to the world ----> Suddenly everyone wants an audience with you ----> You know you're a good guy and can't say no ----> Realize this and just don't advertise yourself so you don't become miserable for the rest of your life

    It's unavoidable that he's going to reveal his strength to the world when some incredibly high demon just decides to attack a kingdom/capital. Monsters have higher cap than back when he was playing, no one is going to be able to beat some 1000+ LvL demon but him.

    Oh no, I mean the main reason that I started reading this was because I wanted something else from the classic wuxia/xianxia MC, I was in fact interested in a humble MC... But it's way beyond being a humble, it's totally on a 'Hello i'm Shin, a profesionnal wimp'. A humble character would be in my opinion like Only sense online MC... But Okay thank you, i'm not sure if i'm gonna continue it then...

    The MC actually isn't too bad, but if you want someone who shows off, this isn't the story for you.

    I think at the start he is a bit worse, but its been awhile since I read the beginning

    No. He is a mature person, if something didnt make him enough to use his power, he will humble and do something in the back scene.
    IF u have power, why you have to show off it?
    Do you want to become a celebrity? c'mon man, you need to humble urself before everyone.
    And we know, he will do something if "Someone trying to do something evil to him".

    The MC is a bit special as far as the author gave away.

    It seems he has a calm character and he dislikes standing out even though he does many times.
    When going battle mode it seems he is a bit off of his normal character, or more like when he is angry or mad at someone (which happened once so far).

    There wasn't any incident with rude people like nobles, there was a bandit encounter of sort. I don't want to get into details as it will be spoilers, but I can say that the story is quite unique and I don't think it is that bad as Est said it was.

    I really loved the vibe it gives, and the characters seems to be not so plain (in my opinion).

    Actually, you can just pick any of JP LN and 90% you'll find the humble MC.

    I'm not even asking to be a complete OP shinning with coolness, I just want him to not be a wimp
    Yes obviously, but the problem for me lies more on his personality. Not wanting to show off is okay, but not having any motivation to do anything at all, not even raising his adventurer rank is a bit hard for me.
    The thing is, I like the story, I want to learn more about the world, but I mean, the character he has on the prologue is COMPLETELY different than the character he has afterward. It might be this gap that kind of pushed myself out of the story...

    Actually a good amount of people know he is strong but he mostly just makes himself strong enough to defeat the enemy which makes people think he tried his hardest. You know people who barely win won't be appreciated plus in every situation where he has been made to take action he has. He is way different from a wimpy character but at the end he is still japanese.

    Edit: another reason he hides his identity is because he is a High Human and the only one alive so you can under what happens if he reveals himself.

    he simply does not know what do, he is just living, since there is no clue to go back to his world, no mission to accomplish, no evil to stop.

    The dude has no motivation because there is nothing that makes his blood burn since he is too strong, "oh this one is strong, unseal *slash* its dead"

    The thing is, His last guild was known for crushing his ennemies, PKing massively, as said in the story, hundred and hundreds of other players, dominating everyone. The more I think of it the more I suppose that the fact that I don't quite like him is due to the difference between his acts when he was in the previous world and now.

    Well recently I'm reading a lot of xianxia/wuxia so I wanted to change a bit, so I picked this story...

    How someone can cause him trouble when he can easily wipe out anything (monster and humanoid alike) in this world?

    It's a flaw for me, it would be a lot easier to quickly become someone important to have access to highly classified info that could help to get him out of the world, while laying low like this feel like he isn't very motivated, but that just my point of view.

    You might be right, saying that he is a complete wimp was a bit too much. But I don't feel that he is really more on the humble side either. I find a MC like the one in Only Sense Online to be a really humble character and I really like him. So yeah maybe in between

    Wow, I think you are perfectly right, I didn't see things that way, thank you. MC isn't needed in this world, the only thing he has, strengh, is completely too much so I don't really feel concerned about him and the fact that he tease people 100x weaker than him, fighting them like they are good fighter against him set me off completely (I mean, you're not pretending that a ant is a good enemy, you just crush it).
    I think the story would have been a lot more interesting if he was a lot weaker then, because I have trouble finding a plot in the story, it's just him being lazy encountering some weak monster (to him at least) , beating him, then continue to being lazy...

    You know, he doesn't like standing out. All he wants is to find a way home. And it was mentioned that because of his status and fame during the death game that random people would try to kill him. He doesn't really want to throw the world into chaos because of who he is. Also he's acting like a normal person. People who lose themselves to power are stupid. I don't mind reading those kinds of novels but in my opinion what Shin does is very logical. Not everyone wants to crush everyone that they don't like.

    Yes because adventure rank matters... You know what you're suggesting is grinding... How could you even suggest a person does such a thing? Honestly, you might be into kinky stuff.

    Isn't it better for him to just wait till he saves the day and gets a S+ adventure rank or do a bunch of escort quests and gathering quests to slowly rank up?

    well maybe this is not the kind of MC you like
    he doesnt want to stand out bcause its to troublesome to him. he basically a god in that world
    he did tell/show to a few people about his strength but most of the time he hide it from others
