Say am I the only person who thinks the entire "Magic System" in this series is, well, kinda shitty...? And no I'm not just talking about all the spells either I'm talking the whole "unique and special powers" thing as a whole.

At first I thought I understood how the mechanics worked in this universe: Every race has universal abilities (Giants have Creation, Fairies have Disaster, etc) whilst the weak humans were the only beings capable of having any power imaginable but couldn't really decided what it'd be or how they'd unlock it.

However, when the demons came around this idea of all the races (sans humans) having the exact same ability went out the window as soon as the Demon Clan started showing off. As an aspiring writer myself, I think the author, Nakaba, made a mistake when deciding to give the Demons other powers besides their Darkness and Commandments, the Sins were already having trouble with them at their weakest (before their training at least) but giving them more toys to play with was just overkill in my opinion.

It's 2019 as I'm writing this and sure enough the unique powers have essentially gone the way of the dodo bird unless they came from some ultra mega god entity or their names are Full Counter/Infinity.

This problem likely stems from the fact that Nakaba is a big fan of Dragon Ball and likely took inspiration from Akira Toriyama's writing style... Including all the bad shit in it.

Lots of action but not much substances, training to get massive power-ups that soon won't mean anything, and big flashy attacks which cause a majority of fights to all look the exact same.

Sorry if this was a long read but I just had these thoughts running through my mind for a while and I just wanted to get them off my chest. In short I don't think the power system was handled very well and really just cause the fights to become super bloated which, in my opinion at least, get in the way of the story.

If you agree or don't agree with what I had to say please do share your thoughts in a respectful and civilized manner, I'm just a guy speaking his mind after all.
