Im genuinely curious about what other times did the mc struggle in a fight that I cant remember though.
The only time I can think of, is in the early game with the bandits where we meet Eliza. At least up until the MC decided that his face had been licked for long enough.

Wasn't the fight with the assassin at the lake kind of close too? It's been a while, so I can't remember specifics.

Yes, Buu is consitent in that, MC wins hardly and gets stronger, getting a new perk after.

I can pretty much already picture a scene where MC hears a prayer in his head for the first time from one of his followers and is shocked about it.

Long-term (like end-game epilogue), I fully expect MC to become a literal god akin to Maia, who was essentially originally promised to be the god equivalent of his wife based on a few bits of dialogue.
On the topic of gods and harems, it's been confirmed that Maia, Gaia, and Malanthe are all potential future harem members. It would seem a bit unusual to me for not one but three goddesses to becomes MC's lovers if they didn't believe he could be at least an equal in the future. So that's another thing that makes me think that type of evolution is likely long-term.

The bandits at the start got the drop on MC, taking advantage of his naivety. He only got out of it going berserk over Eliza.
The assassin at the lake was back and forth until the MC prevailed.
The skeletons in the cave overwhelmed him with numbers and it took Kira and the healing crystals to get him back in shape. (the crystals more than Kira)
After this, there's harem shenanigans so no fights for a long time. You see others show off while MC is in prison.
The Diana fight is a combination of a lot of factors but I ultimately agree that she was a good test for him. Someone stronger than Eliza needs to train him after all.
He hasn't really had a fight on the island yet. The priestess catching him by surprise is just plot writing and not really a fight. (doesn't he have enhanced senses?)

Buu is usually several months ahead with releases (he recently mentioned he's currently working on the September 2025 release).

Why is this relevant? Back in October he shared this preview in Discord with the caption, "Who's ready for a fight?"

So looks like we might have a fight on the island to look forward to soon. :)

I wouldn't really say any of those fights are close. In all of them either the mc got jumped or was holding back. As far as the Diana fight went he should have died twice, but only survived because of his regen powers. And even then he only managed to tie and not win.

The other fights earlier were basically mc gets knocked around for a few times, decides to get serious and then easily defeats whoever he's fighting

Since I haven't played in awhile I was wondering did the MC even bring that device to talk to Eliza from far away.

I feel like the skeletons don't really count. Like you said he was just getting overwhelmed with numbers it's not like the skeletons alone were an actual problem. Diana has really been the only character that he couldn't really do much against

I'm not sure. I don't think it's been mentioned one way or the other in the first two updates this Chapter, though I haven't played the current one yet (not yet out for my tier level).

Eliza and the others do at least know in general what MC is up to though via message from Diana through the King, if I remember right.

I don't think so. Most likely it was back at the hotel, and he had to leave suddenly from their picnic date, so didn't have the time to go and pack anything for the trip.

How would it not count? Moving the goalposts much? He could have died, same as any other encounter.

Mostly because that was more about attrition than actual strength. The skeletons themselves were pretty weak. I wasn't even considering it and was mostly thinking about fights against characters like the Assassin or Blackheart. He wasn't struggling against the skeletons at all until they kept respawning, he was getting his ass beat by Diana and even admits that she's stronger than him.

The respawning skeletons did more damage than Diana. Sounds like the MC should stop underestimating his opponents. That only comes with experience.

Discussion is about how strong the mc is compared to everyone else. He's stronger than the skeletons, there was nothing they could do against him other than. I personally don't even consider to be a "fight" since it's just the mc going against multiple waves of nameless, faceless, enemies. I mean the discussion before was about how the mc needed to get stronger so he doesn't struggle in a fight and he unless he unlocks and infinite stamina at some point he's still going to get tired when fighting to many people no matter how strong he gets. Just like how earlier I said that Taron is a threat mostly because of his influence and the fact he goes after others and isn't directly stronger than the mc. The skeletons arent directly stronger than the mc either.

As for Diana, not really. She stabbed him in the vitals and he got knocked down, managed to get back up later because of the cyrstals and he should have died, twice. He lost 2 out of 3 rounds and only managed to tie on the final round.
