Criticism’s fun, and that’s why I’m going to criticize your criticism on expecting both the show and this comic to conform to too many completely unfounded assumptions. And this isn’t even a defense of the source material, since you’re drawing these assumptions from the gaping vacuum of any kind of consistency or predictability of the writing as authored by someone who’s dead.
And I’d point them out, but… the other commenters already have. Except on the point that you’re assuming that he’s draining magic from things close to him, as opposed to in general.
(On a random note, magic, in fiction, tends to be something of an anti~~entropy ~~ freezing, freely reordering, defying conservation. Kind of goes along well with being “life force”.
Doesn’t really solve the problems here, since its properties would then still be derivable as in some way “opposite” of normal thermodynamic laws, but fun observation.)
Anyways, final thing:
This is a decently-drawn but poorly-written comic that employs fake drama founded on faulty logic as a transparent excuse to make a human fuck horses.
What is “genuine” drama? What faults are in what logic? (Please don’t use the word “logic”. Most people can’t.) And by what measure are we determining the quality of writing? It seems to be satisfying its purpose quite well (providing momentary, character-interaction-sourced amusement to an audience of horselovers.)
I mean, it’s cheap writing, to be sure. I’d say the humor is rote and predictable. There doesn’t seem to be much profound meaning or message to it. I doubt we’re going to discover any intricate, geniusly woven emergent narrative in it after the fact.
But your judgment just seems to be “I don’t like it and it doesn’t fit my headcanon; it’s bad.”
“Think you’ve got what it takes… Dirtpone?”
… Gotta make it a Racist Barn!
Now you made me think of an image with Applejack playing a barn in a game of poker and AJ says “I’ll raise you.”
Thanks a lot. Now I have to draw it.
That barn’s vicious when it comes time to collect, mm-hmm…
Or he looks like a regular bald guy who happens to be ripped.
I think he keeps shifting between looking like One Punch Man, Agent 47, Dr. Manhattan, Lex Luthor, and Tabuu. Seems to depend on the frame.
Oh. My bad.
Must be quite annoying then. Not being able to extert yourself until after you found a mate…
One of the only times I think that happened (Unless it hasn’t happened yet) would be Okami and her Seven Companions
Nope. As Pencils confirmed earlier in the comments, increasing his magical efforts only increases how rapidly he absorbs magic; Utilizing it doesn’t use up what he has absorbed, it just causes him to channel even more.
However, since he’s like Saitama, he might have to work it off.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tsundere wind up with the main character unless she also happens to be the first girl.
@youregoingtoloveme
Part of me laughs at the “I’m too cheerful” bit, but then I imagine her tearfully saying it and then I feel sad.
@Mellow91
I guess it depends on how she goes about it? I mean, if she’s as bad as the one from Love Hina, then I certainly wouldn’t mind if Anon ignores her.
No capische.
Way to give me some feels.
@youregoingtoloveme
Shame, shame. He’d be missing out on a golden opportunity in pony form!
And Limestone will say something like “It’s because I’m too cheerful, isn’t it? I get that from my sister but I swear I can tone it down if you’ll just give me a chance.”
Also, that ‘wife hunt’
@Align
Naw, I see it, too.
@patec
Applauds
@Mellow91
I don’t need to bet knowing that’s gonna happen. Poor Limey; not all tsunderes have the luck.
The two satisfactory answers to that simple question are

LEL.
