Reader’s Question:
I’ve been watching “I’m the Only One Leveling Up,” and I noticed that after the protagonist defeated the snake, he started to act a bit cocky. To be honest, I find it a little cringy. Is he going to keep acting this way throughout the series? The story and
animation are great, though, and I’m enjoying it!
My Thoughts on “I’m the Only One Leveling Up”
So, I’ve been diving into “I’m the Only One Leveling Up” lately, and I totally get what you’re saying about the protagonist getting a bit cocky after defeating that snake. Honestly, it can be pretty cringy at times, right? But here’s the thing—I think that’s just part of the genre’s charm (or annoyance, depending on how you look at it).
The Classic Overconfidence
You know, in many isekai (another world) anime, the main characters often start from a place of weakness and then boom—they’re suddenly overpowered once they get transported to this new world. It’s like they went from being a total nobody to a superstar overnight, and I can’t help but chuckle at how quickly their confidence skyrockets. I mean, it’s funny but also a bit frustrating when you think about it. I remember watching another series where the protagonist was this shy, awkward kid, and then suddenly he was flexing his new abilities like he was the king of the world. I was sitting there munching on my snacks, half-laughing, half-cringing at the absurdity of it all. It’s almost like they forget about their humble beginnings the moment they realize they have cheat codes to life!
Relatable Moments
What I find relatable, though, is that feeling of wanting to prove yourself. As a dad, I sometimes feel that pressure to be the “cool” parent or the one who knows everything. Just the other day, I tried to show my kid a magic trick, and let’s just say it didn’t go quite as planned. Instead of awe, I got a look of pure confusion. So, in a way, I can see why these characters act the way they do—they’re just trying to find their place in this new world. But I also get where you’re coming from. The cockiness can be over the top. It can make you roll your eyes, especially when you’re so invested in the story and animation. You want the character to grow, not just flex their muscles all the time.

Anyway, I’m really enjoying the series overall! The animation is gorgeous, and the story has some cool twists. But I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you come across any other characters that made you cringe with their overconfidence? Or maybe you have tips for dealing with those moments? Share your experiences in the comments!
