From Overshadowed to Overpowered: Second Reincarnation of a Talentless Sage · review

★
Top reader Oct 16, 2023 · 2 min read
6 /10

6.8/10 Initially promising, the manga is revealed to be rattled with plot holes, one-dimensional characters, and annoying cliches. Instead of capitalizing on the somewhat unique and strong foundation and concept at the time, the author follows a basic plot line that has been countless of times, quickly losing the viewer’s retention and attention. There were some neat twists and engaging moments during the initial plot, character introduction, especially “chapter one”— quoted due to each chapter being split into decimals, with each decimal having roughly thirteen pages — however, the author didn’t know how to expand but rather attempted to and failed miserably, creating absurd amount ofcontradictions and plot holes while trying to hide it with solid world-building. The characters were not only contradictory, but they became cliche, generic, and all of the sorts; instead of adding or filling in unique characters, the typical “bad guys” were added to drive the plot, which isn’t an enjoyable read.

The only edge this manga has over the countless of isekais is the solid world building, however, that only retains the viewers for so long before they become tired of the cliche developments and characters.
