Overly elaborate power systems suck

Manga is a visual medium, cluttering the pages with walls of text just to explain how character A avoided the attack of character B is peak brainlet writing. No wonder such works are so popular among midwits

I would agree or constant talking in general.
>Overly elaborate power systems suck
I'd disagree, you can have a complex power system and just not explain all the shit through text.

Nah I like complicated powers.
I want to use my imagination after I've been given something to work with. And if they need to explain the happenings a bit, then so be it.

If you don’t like HxH, try YYH because it’s the same thing but less complex. HxH is good because it’s so well defined and the different types of powers aren’t just window dressing. Also while some people hate the explanations or thoughts of characters using their abilities, it is good setup for a visual fight and always ends in a visual fight. It’s the best of both worlds

Manga isn’t a purely visual medium, you’ve never read a manga where something hasn’t been explained by text

>Well defined
>There's a power category that's just "everything else" because he couldn't define his power system properly.

But if characters don't tell thier move names at each other how else could I understand what's going on?

I mean, what do you want from fighting manga? Have you ever seen a nature documentary? Predation, murder and defeat are all near instant and boring without a larger context to place it in. The fact that a character dodges an attack is entirely meaningless and something you gloss over unless an author draws your attention to it. You have to add text to address obvious interest building questions like: did that character have to dodge, can there be a counterpunch, is there a set pattern to either the dodging or the attacking and so forth. Far be it from me to speculate about how other people enjoy their stories, but my enjoyment basically comes from making a whole lot of guesses about story, relationship, character and combat progression and then seeing some come true and seeing others subverted.

All I read was
>blah blah blah Hunterfag HxH bad Togashi bad

Honestly a based opinion, really.

that's what I've been saying

Spot on. Fucking complicated hard power system are a cancer to shonen and even more cancerous to fantasy as a whole. It reduced interpretation and make everything to be mechanical just for 'rule of cool'
