The manga is a prime example on how to kill your own show in a wimp.

I think everyone who wants to write a story be it a novel/webtoon/manga etc. should read this manga just to not make the same mistakes.

It's such a prime example how you can get from a well selling manga down to "no one cares about it"
even if you're featured in one of the most popular magazines of that type.

The manga is even if you do hate shounen trophes, - funny
and never so annoying that you couldn't read it anymore at least for the first 30 chapters.

It does start off as a carefree episodic manga with a bit of a story.(to lift the curse of the FL) but it never takes itself serious
and even if it's listed as (battle) shounen it actually does not fall into this genre at all for half of it.

If there are battles they got resolved quickly in a single chapter and because of the absurd and stupid "power" the mc has you can't take it seriuously.
It is more about the interaction between the four members of the group.

Sadly it took another turn after that and got into full battle shounen while getting rid of everthing else
which made this manga enjoyable, - the group of four idiots doing their best to lift the curse.

You get a battle shounen(which has nothing to do how the series did start or even got to this point)
which continued for around 20 chapters until it made the sales drop so low that it was shortly before beeing axed.

The whole arc was done at chapter 51 but the sales where now so low from a once "hit" series that it needed a huge impact to get back to it's former glory.
And instead to going back to the things their fans loved they did the absoluty worst thing possible.

The characters and their development got ingnored and instead they even made the battle scenes longer(and more boring)
while also including an out of now where agressive love interest for the FL.
The ML now also acts even worse and out of character than at the start without any reason just for the drama.

It took only 3 weeks after that until it got axed and you got at least a (confusing and rushed) few ending chapters.



It was such a collosal misjudgement from everyone involved that a character driven story could suddenly be a battle shounen
it's a fun read till this date just to show you how to ruin a story which could've otherwise ~200 chapters.
