Previous Thread

Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

the amount of plot armor encasing the main cast

This is one of those things that you can't unsee in a series once you notice it. For years, I have enjoyed playing the Dynasty Warriors games (ever since DW3). Those games are similar in the way that it will often have some kind of scenario in which a whole army is wiped out in some trap or ambush, but the general character leading that army comes out just fine, ready to fight another day.

Totally, I had the same issue with Attack on Titan as well. I understand that having a regular cast makes things easier but, as you said, once you notice it that's that. At least both series are fun enough things like this aren't enough to destroy the experience.
