Fuck you, faggot, I want my heroes to become that by working for it because it's more cathartic to watch it pay off.
Well actually the MC is a super special snowflake with a unique and powerful lineage!

To be fair, the queen of witches put it pretty bluntly. Asta is special because he isn't special.
I don't know what happened when El Hermano was introduced, but Soma is said to have no talent for cooking. He just refuses to give up and really hates losing.
>a fucking rock
Don't underestimate how much damage a sling could do in the bronze and iron ages. The Romans hired slingers from the Baeleric islands for how deadly they could be. It was generally a shepherd's weapon (they'd sling rocks in front of the feet of their sheep if they threatened to run away from the herd), but taking a rock to the face means you're not going to have a good time.

Because hard work being enough to get anywhere in life is a fairy tale that not even the ones who tell it can really belief.
Jason King
Shounen mangakas cant write for shit, so they always rely on crutches. Special upbringing is just one of many.
Chase Nguyen
Raw strength and skill are completely different from status.
James Gutierrez
For me it's
BECAUSE HE WAS BORN IN THIS WORLD
Jason Edwards
Because it's a good reason for them to be the protagonist. There's nothing wrong with it so long as they don't try to push some "hard work vs talent" motif and pretend like the MC didn't get power handed to him.
Chase Russell
>demon, anti magic in a world of magic with otherwordly stamina and power

Evan Flores
>KnY pulls a bait and switch making you think he's the special chosen only to be the son of a literal coal burner and giving the "chosen one" powerup to everyone
any other series do that?

The ones that don't are cancelled by Jump.
