Chapter 38 - Refresh
575 Words
Hey it's your favorite 4th wall breaking MC: Moar!
There are two possibilities to write what a new arc in a story when the mc became powerful:
1) Make him even more powerful, with enemies even stronger! This is the nekketsu principle, and even if it looks good in mangas and animes, novel readers are less likely to appreciate this overused method… Especially when an mc was already op and having him get even more op causes a huge drop in readers.
2) Nerf him all of sudden, and make him restart from scratch. It's not hard to guess for this one: it directly causes the death of half of the novel's readers (either frustration or suicide), and to do it you often need to change the mc's location or body. To do that, there is no problem in that story, but that was already used once, so let's forget it.
Then what should we do?
Well, the third solution!
I always dreamt about saying that!
And I imagine you shouting NANI like the filthy weeb you are!
Look at you, getting offended over something you 100% agree on!
Yes, we're going to use solution number 3!
Replace the mc!
No! Don't do this, author!
No!
Let me live!
I had to work so hard to try to reach the 4th wall!
Come on! Let me go further!
No author!
Don't erase my existence!
Nooooo---
Joking.
But well, more seriously, the third solution is about keeping the mc op in his specialty but force him to do things he is bad at.
Unfortunately, this novel has little chances to attract readers by doing romance, as it was pretty violent and unfiltered from the start. So I'm not going to ask to the author to ask (asking inception) help to the authors of the most read actual romances (author inception). [1]
I'm just going to find something I'm bad at apart from romance (laughs).
After a long deliberation (3 thousandths of a second), I go for subtlety!
I'm going to have to learn subtlety!

[1] At the time while I wasn't popular I joined early on the w******l inkstone train so I did talk to quite a few authors there, including the original romances that were the most read on the platform at the time. I didn't have any interest nor talent in doing romance from the start so I never intended to do it but mentioning it to readers who don't know the context was funny to me at the time.
Btw this is the last chapter of the first arc! The second is only 4 chapters long, so it can be considered to be an interlude to show how much Moar grew mentally between chapters 36 and 37, I guess.
