Too easy... not even SSS rank should have it this easy.... give him a credible threat every now and then..

@Banished Immortal but then the story gets boring too quickly, the struggle and challenge is what captures the attention, and the growth to overcome the hardships is what keeps it, if everything is a one and done win there's no progression worth reading/watching. This is the reason so many manga like this d1e off after a relatively short run
@Neil Groves I agree with you on that, but this manga was built on the premise that he is overpowered from the beginning, with power on par with a g**
@Banished Immortal thats just lazy writing IMO.  If there's zero challenge, there's zero actual conflict and everything is boring as he** leading to more people dropping the story, most people don't have the attention span for this kind of "he beats evey obsticle with casual ease" type stuff, it's boring as he** unless they start ramping up the difficulty of the fights. The only reason One Punch Man did so well is that it also relied in it being more of a joke that Saitama was so strong, not the whatever is going on here. The only reason I bring up OPM is as an example of how to do this trope of the Overpowered MC well.
