so many just throw it in unnecessarily too like i was watching the world's greatest alchemist or whatever the title and like,
He needs help making magical toilets, or help with other shit so he has time to make the magical toilets
His production methods are
and liable to be stolen so obviously he needs A SLAVE WITH A MAGIC CONTRACT THAT FORCES THEM TO BEHAVE
Because there's like idk no other way of giving the guy a monopoly or whatever.
And then they suckered me in with the MC going "slavery? that's fucked, fuck that, I'd rather do all the work myself" only to almost immediately go "actually you're right slave me up baby"
It's to appeal to lonely decrepit old men. My coworker in his 60s loves this harem bullshit.
I hate it, I just want fantasy shit, magic and wiz biz, fight scenes and shit. I just want the power fantasy without all the fucking harem waifu collecting or slavery nonsense!
The same show had him get a spider as a pet. It evolved, and im like, don't you turn into a little girl! it's okay for a spider to just be a spider! And it stayed a spider. It evolved again and turned into a little girl
Classic Mikey's curse right there
Explaining my Incredibly niche reference....
Basically this comment
On a chapter of one of the comics I was reading (player who returned 10,000 years later) at the time, Mikey and all of us immediately got fucked over in the next chapter when the cute mascot dragon did indeed turn into a loli, as seen below
Mikey, the poor fucker, immediately became a legend in the commenting community and became synonymous with the collective general exasperation with manga/manhwa/manhua artists turning random shit into little girls for no necessary reason. (I'll still say the Japanese are worse because they're like disproportionately more pedophilic in their comic and cartoon depictions of little girls, but let's be honest its still pretty fucking bleak all around.)
Well, I'm glad I dropped that one in the first episode (the passing felt off to me, so I just didn't get into it)
