I still had yet to grasp a mystical power. However, I feel like I'm making some progress in my recent training. only so much a story can evolve from after this point, with the most usual path being to become the Hero and slay the Demon Lord. But within "The Eminence in Shadows" the story is already changed from the start.

The way the chapters put everything together can result in some odd scene breaks (where in the web novel these were separate chapters and therefore a bit more understandable due to having a new chapter heading). Not the hero. Nor the last boss. I'm talking about those existences that work their interference and flex their true strength only from the shadows. Speaking of which, I'd learned somewhere that birds are incontinent, but so are human babies. No matter how much my reasoning tells me to resist, my instinct screams at me to let it out. However, with the physical strengthening that I had spent days and nights training up, I constrict my anal sphincter to buy time, during which….. I meditated Buddhist-style, I meditated under waterfalls, I meditated quietly, I fasted, I mastered yoga, I converted, I searched for spirits, I prayed, I even affixed myself to a cross.

Have you ever heard of Poe’s Law? Here’s a little definition if you haven’t, Poe’s Law is that without a clear indication of the author’s intent the parody of something extreme can be mistaken for the real thing and if a real thing sounds extreme enough it can be mistaken for a parody. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute falls exactly into this, if I wasn’t told like a dozen times by multiple people in social media groups that talk only about Light Novels and other places then I would fail to know that this thing is supposed to be a parody, after all, it plays

I did feel this volume was weaker overall. The comedy of the MC's chuunibyou aspects wasn't as strong because in the latter half, he and Beta go to the real world fantasy Japan, and the plot points there are just not interesting to me. Yes, there's some evil Alliance and evil beasts, but the beasts can't think or interact with the MCs, so you don't get the same humorous reactions that the Cult of Diablos members gave. Then the Alliance is not fleshed out as to who they are and why they sent a spy in/their goals/etc. The MC being OP is also not as exciting or cool because relative to these weak humans, even a regular knight from the isekai world would be a threat anyway.

However, even if I could beat down every single soldier, if a nuke fell on my head, I'd get vaporized. That is the limit of being a human. The Old Gods are gone. Lost and Forgotten, their honor shattered and their kingdoms broken by treachery. The Peace of the Myriad Heavens has been severed. And from the ashes of war and chaos, the Twin Towers of Babel have been created as a beacon of hope. Can Altair, a child born of the Old Gods whose name has long since been forgotten, survive, or will he be cast into the Nine Hells?***"So..." Arsene continued, enjoying his child's flush expression.

All I know is that ever since I can remember, I've always yearned after "powers in the shadows."The first half with Rose's moments and the Cult are indeed fun though, and I did enjoy some aspects like Beta stealing human technology and even being wowed by things like a mechanical pencil.
