The use
of glitches and programming errors reaches animated fantasy.
The official account of author Nikita Kitagawa announced on
Wednesday that his light novel Saijaku na Boku wa "Kabenuke
Bug" by Nariagaru (I, The Weakest Player, Will Rise to the Top
Using a "Wall-Clipping Glitch" – By Clipping Through Walls, I Earned
the First-Time Clear Reward Infinite Times!) has a television anime
adaptation in production. The news was originally revealed in the
wraparound band of volume 11 of the manga adaptation.
The story
follows Henri Cleats, an adventurer with a single ability: Evasion.
Due to his lack of offensive power, he is expelled from his group, leaving him
unable to afford treatment for his sick sister. However, he discovers that his
ability has a "bug": it allows him to go through walls and
reach the end of dungeons without a fight, allowing him to claim the
"First Clear Bonus" infinite times. With this knowledge, Henri begins
his ascent to break the balance of the world.
