Nah, it's not about that, I'm fine with the mc not being OP or going from weak to strong, but this whole thing really reminds me of something like a dm wanting to railroad players into following one intended storyline - the moment someone steps off the beaten path an npc with a baseball bat shows up and sets you straight. That's not "media literacy being low", this whole scene could be cut and nothing would be lost, but I guess the author has to make a point.
Someones dad being a police officer automatically makes them proficient in martial arts and having super strength? lol
I mean, I wanted this to be good, prologue was actually very fine, but the way it went is clearly not for me, but if you like it - more power to you.
