Transcendental

I have no desire to do anything for you people (my former classmates), I am now the top Fabricator at Sea Rat. They treasure me, while you lot treated me as trash so much, I tried my hand at suicide!

Full Title: Another World Awakening Transcendental Create Skill -The World Doesn't Seem To Leave Me A Super Talented Person Who Has Awakened To Production And Processing- by Akemi Mikoto - Takata. The manga ended at chapter 12, the lightnovel is still ongoing. Tayaka Nagami, the main character, spent the entirety of his mandatory academic career being treated as the class whipping boy, with the teachers not giving a damn (Truth in Television). On a school mandated field-trip, the rest of his classmates broke into groups and he was intentionally left as the "odd man out." Then, when the school driver has a heart-attack, resulting in a vehicle crash, the class finds itself in a new world, none of the adults surviving the trip. After a month of trying to eke out a living in this new reality, the class universally banished him, in a vote of 37-0, because he didn't "awaken" a glaringly obvious combat capable magic skill. Alone, with no prospects, and no way to communicate with the natives, Tayaka slits his own wrists and lets himself bleed out. He is found by Meyreel and her party, healed, and brought to the adventurer's guild "Sea Rat" branch, where he's appraised and that's when he learns he has a very rare and valuable talent for [Fabrication], which allows him to not only gather materials but assemble pretty much whatever he wants, the limits being only his imagination and experience (or lack thereof). He very quickly goes from being a "disgusting loser loner" to a treasure of the kingdom. His class, who threw him away, learning too late that they now have nobody that can dismantle the monsters they hunt into food and materials, doesn't take it well...

Tropes used in Another World Awakening Transcendental Create Skill include:
  • Compressed Adaptation: The manga compresses the material so much that almost 100 novel chapters are squeezed into five manga chapters. A lot of content, context, and nuance are lost as a result...
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: Tayaka was treated "as a burden" by the rest of his class because they all awoke obvious and flashy abilities clearly suited for combat while Tayaka did not, and was stuck working the undesirable chores like dismantling the monsters that were hunted for their meat and materials. It turns out that Tayaka is the only one who could and his skills are so sought after that entire countries would go to war over him if they could, fortunately, Sea Rat managed to make him the patron of one of the 6 top mages of the world, that none of the world powers dare to anger...
  • In Medias Res: Chapter 1 of the manga shows Tayaka after he's already rich and famous, with a harem of beauties gunning for him. The story proper has him being treated as slave labor on a good day by the rest of his classmates, and has him fleeing for his life from a monster after being used as bait, all because he didn't manage to get himself an obvious and flashy combat-capable super-power...
  • The Social Darwinist: All the villains of the work justify themselves by stating "survival of the fittest" brings merit to their actions. When asked, Tayaka loudly proclaims that, if he had the power and ability, would smash this line of thinking to dust, and proves he's a man of his word by doing it when he has the chance...
  • Superpower Lottery: While it's mentioned in the early chapters of the novel as Tayaka is being rescued by Meyreel's party that a person's skill tree and special skill improves with use, practice, and the consumption of monster meat that's been properly prepared first, how people get their skills or skill trees in the first place is not understood, and in fact, Meyreel takes Tayaka to a slum district where she provides charity to some starving children who have no skill tree or skill, despite everything possible being done for them.
  • Teens Are Monsters: Holy moly. Out of all 37 of Tayaka's classmates, not a single one of them spoke on his behalf when Akito Harukawa decided to banish him, with no options or prospects, into the wilderness. Never mind the fact that Tayaka was the one who was field dressing the monsters the rest hunted and making them into materials that could be sold or eaten, and their very lives depended on his labors. In fact, several of them made his life hell, just for laughs, as he was doing the class's dirty work. By the time manga chapter 5 comes around, one month after his banishment, the class has turned to banditry and kidnaps him, demanding he sell out his workplace to be their lap-dog once again, openly intending to enslave his friends and co-workers, and when he refuses, lop off his hand, and when he still refuses, try to behead him. Even those who showed kindness were just faking it...
  • Translator Microbes: Discussed. All of Tayaka's classmates seem to have awakened an ability to communicate with the locals without having to learn a new language. Tayaka can only speak his native tongue, but thanks to an earlier "Hero from another world," his native tongue just so happens to be the local "Common."
  • Trapped in Another World: There is no known way for any of Tayaka's classmates to return to Earth, and even if they could, the bus accident means they're all considered dead...
  • Unwanted Harem: Tayaka has all sorts of women throwing themselves at him. The only one he has eyes on is Meyrell, but with all the others throwing themselves at him, she's a bit ... gun shy.
