Ok. Ill bait. Nope. The MC's power level is slowly growing and still has room to grow.
1 - Michael, in toilet<in locker room< awakening murder
2 - Jason+Styx< Eda< Tessa+Matt 1st meet- 1st defeat/retreat
3 - Metal < Thugs_in_Slums (actually only here 1st clean win for MC, against humans, kek)< Legion at gas station (2 win)
4 - Az - 1 by 1 - defeat, Az vs team- defeat, quite humiliating defeat after defeat arc here. Saved by Deus ex rule B
5 - Expanding setting, melancholy, planning and talking, mostly, really. Combat scenes done by others
6 - Three- 3 win for MC, here, 1st clean win against Companion., One - 4 win, against A rank Companion.
7 - Expanding setting, combat scenes done by others.
8 - France under bridge win against 2 Comps, i assume 2 A ranks, or A+B.
9 - Swords A+A+S, 1 frag,
And here, at the moment, we can assume current MC rank is S, S+ at most. Still below Az from 1st chapter, definitely below current Zero, definitely will be challenge against better sword teams and bigger teams. Ghost and guardian in Asia probably will shake MCs ass too. MC has quite a suop of abilities and skills but still has room to grow in control it.
This is according to the pure Powerlevel. And then there are all sorts of hostage-brothers and helpless hot goth friends and political intrigues. I think the developer quite ready to release convincing 5+ more chapters.
Potential future worthy opponents:
Better sword slaves, teams of Comps, Unus_with supplements, Ghost, Zero, Guardian of Asia, and probably Emma depressed(as Az), manipulated or enslaved by sword. Also Claire or someone else might come to idea to reawake Tessah in human world, as we did with Arsael.
As for Claire and Gab and others
Who can stop Clair in order if they specifically invited her again, as is too much challenge just to handle only strike force groups? And why some one has to stop her here if there are results for Order? Realistically who can possibly and wanted to stop Claire? Only who sees full picture of her operations is Gab and us (as Player).
And Gab painfully naive and spoiled by Nael. It is only Nael allow Gab too keep his White knight cap and cape, and relatively clean hands. And also Gab was spoiled by Nael who constantly patched and solving, even HUMANITY DESTRUCTION - level, his bad decisions. That is why Gab is tended to bite more than he chew at the moment. And still trying to solve all alone. Gab has it flaws too.
Emma is still just naive schoolgirl hurdled in blood vortex way bigger than she even can imagine. It is too much for her notice anything as she confused by her feelings at first, and after that, literally physically stunned by Zero.
Clara is still sheltered and still live in her game world, she still cant imagine that mother can do something wrong.
They all only humans. Allow them to be. It is exactly this imperfection of each character makes story more realistic overall.
And yes, exactly these imperfections will be room to characters to grow.
