But here's the twist: when he gets to this new world, the people in charge realize he's not all that special. He doesn't have any superpowers or impressive abilities. So instead of treating him like a hero, they send him off to live in a dangerous forest full of demons.
As Benzo tries to survive in this new place, something strange happens. When he fights some aggressive slimes and levels up to level two, his stats suddenly show a weird symbol that looks like a sideways eight.
What makes "Discovering My Superpowers in a Strange World" different from other stories like it is its focus on characters and important messages. Instead of following the usual pattern of having a hero surrounded by mostly male characters or women who are only interested in him romantically, Benzo teams up with a group of capable women who are competent and strong in their own right. One of them even has big muscles!
But even though it has some cool new ideas, the story still follows a lot of the same old patterns we've seen before in these kinds of stories. There are evil kings, battles against demons, and a guild where adventurers can take on jobs based on their level. The animation and character designs are pretty average, too.
One part of the story that stands out is when Benzo encounters the issue of slavery in this new world. Unlike many other heroes in similar situations, Benzo doesn't just accept slavery as normal. Even though he comes from a place where slavery is common, he refuses to take part in it. And when he finds out that slavery isn't a thing in this new world, it gives him hope that maybe things aren't so bad after all.
"Discovering My Superpowers in a Strange World" challenges the idea that it's okay to go along with things like slavery just because everyone else is doing it. Benzo's refusal to accept injustice, even when it would benefit him, makes him a truly admirable character.
