So what wrong with plot armor, rememer that the original MC supposed to destroy the world anyway even without the strength of Lybra

After MC became Vega's apostle and gained her power, he gained a lot of power, enough to go against a 3 star at least. That's not the problem. The problem was that after he gained the power, he leveled it up way to fast. Also, since the Black Star whatever is able to absorb memories of skills, he gained the ability to wield the spear (beginning of novel) very well. However, skill does not equal combat experience. Just because you have the ability to wield a spear better than a newbie does not mean you suddenly gain lots of insights to battle.

The second problem was that at first, he was cautious but then he became some what reckless and just charge head first without thinking clearly. Plot armor came and save the day as always and do a lot more than necessary.

After having barely defeated the "demon" the at first glance MC regressor is met up with a goddess and were told that the gods all grant their stigmas to mortals which in turn grants them powers and makes them an awakened. But this particular goddess stigma is so powerful that no one can handle it. Even the demon who has the power to absorb stigmas and was eventually even able to absorb/eat the gods or celestials that were the creators/masters of those stigmas was not even at his peak power able to absorb this goddess stigma because it was too powerful.

Then when our assumed MC regresses he almost manages to take in the goddess stigma only for the demon to turn up infront of him which makes his emtions go out of control and he explodes after loosing control. Then the demon just casually picks up the stigma and absorbs it like almost nothing and were introduced to our MC, the demon.

He started out looking like a tr*shy yet clever scammer who would do anything for money to survive in a ruin world (of course his ‘cleverness’ is a double-edge knife causing him to lift a stone and hit his own foot multiple times). But then step-by-step, his actions prove otherwise. He’s clever and a scammer, but he is definitely not tr*shy. He works hard day-by-day for years before the story started to support a non-biological sister that used to take care of him and other kids at orphanage. And after awakening, he was constantly putting his life at risk fighting difficult opponents while putting his life on the line strategically to quickly improve and earn lots of money. He also consistently trained from sun rise to sun set days in and out. And while he always has excuses for acting like a hero and saving others, he always takes care of his loved ones and never harm anyone that didn’t show malice towards him or his important people.

The tipping point is when the reason for his obsession with money was revealed. It was quite obvious but still hit like a truck. The story got me hooked by the first few chapters. However, little by little, I fell for this kind of MC and by c40, I was sold. It’s honestly cute to me that throughout the early part of the story, MC kept mentioning how he want a simple relaxing life that he wouldn’t have to worry and just enjoying life, but he put himself through a life of hardship toiling away scamming people much stronger than him in dungeons dangerous to even awakeners as a normal human while taking care of a disabled person. And once the most urgent need is covered, he still continue to work hard (to the point of madness tbh) by ‘sparring’ to death continuously to push his growth.

No doubt he not only excelled in the previous timeline but will also be celebrated as the hero in this timeline
