ex. In this story the half human gets her arms and legs sliced open, gets sliced apart by claws, gets thrown through 3 stories of floors, before getting thrown through five more stories, then gets caught in a magic vortex, where she get sliced at by dopplegangers, after all this she's somehow still alive, and because the vampire is that awesome, he crushes her, and the castle she is inside with, wait for it, the moon. Yeah, the moon, not a bolder, or a wall coming down, the reach up to the sky, apparently using magic, and cause the moon to come crashing down on the heroes, the hero it hits getting completely crushed.
After this she still gets up and beats the vampire in a one on one match, and whereas she can get up from anything, she kills the vampire by shooting him through the stomach with a holy bullet. not the heart or the head, the stomach. how come she can regenerate anything but this vampire can't? Only ever hits him once and that time proves to be fatal?
I shouldn't even have to explain why that pissed me off. The only reason i can think of to make her still survive and win, is because the villain always losses, and this story is no exception. It's still a fun read if you don't think the villain is the greatest evar (i do), and it's funny to watch people make up excuses for why the hero/heroin wins after getting crushed by the moon, something not even link can survive.
Is it that bad? the character in question is Sion Eltnam Atlasia... Which I admit, is a load of garbage, which is why there are so many tiers of endings. It's the regular flaw which almost everything japanese has the tendency of screwing up at. By nearly killing the character in the most unrealistic way, then having them gain some srt of... arcane adrenaline rush from it. It's something that Dragonball Z did, because it's known for this habit regularly. As well as constipation over the course of eight episodes trying to push out some ":final beam wave" attack which ultimately misses, causing the villain to laugh so hard they -die-.
