Except that this leads to quarels about being useless and it being unfair that he gets the same money when he did nothing (which is true). And as mentioned, if this is the norm new adventurers will have much harder time getting experience and will have much higher death rate as no experienced guy would waste their time and money on them.
Compared to that taking in a yung guy to take care of miscellaneous things and transport the baggage for 1-2 months for meagre pay is a good way for yung guy to get experience how to not die and how to make money. Which is strange in itself, I would expect lots of ex-mercenaries/soldiers, young 2nd-3rd nobility sons (those are trained in fighting), or just inpoverished other proffessions (mage that blew up his workship etc.) to switch to adventuring. And those guys should be much stronger than your average D/C ranker. Maybe not better as advanturers, but stronger yes. |

Yes, you might get some experienced people every now and again,(rarely though, since people like the type you mention can just get jobs as knights, Court mages, etc) but they will rarely be so strong as to totally break the balance, plus you can explain their competence with past experience, not like some reincarnated farmboy who is way stronger than everyone else but can't actually explain why.

I know for sure, I wouldn't just accept random newbie because he might be OP, because there is 100 times higher chance he/she would be liability instead and get my ass killed.
Well I would beore polite about it and maybe even give some advice. Doing so is free and if he/she turn to OP in future there is no harm getting along well.

I'm saying that being an ass to random F ranks is stoopid
What if he pulls out his magic weapon or ancestry magic and just blow you up? No police here Especially in a world with skill system and people are born with it

Chances that happens is negliable. That said regardless whether it's RL or isekai there always was and always will be chance that being ass will backfire. Yet It never stopped anyone. It doesn't matter if you get stabbed twenty times by swiss knife or blown up by nuclear magic, you will end dead all the same.

You don't need the "super"
Extrapolating in irl, a child can kill a soldier with a gun An F rank archer can kill someone of higher rank if hit in unprotected areas Ranks are not tied to the "system level" or the "existential level" but to the contribution and longevity in the guild. An S rank is still human not a demi god, although this depends on the novel Is not uncommon the cliche where higher ranks are poisoned or assaulted from behind by lower ranks Last edited by Garn; 2020-10-24 at 15:24. |

S rank can as well be considered demigods. No exception. It's A rank that might still be considered humans (though depending on novel even them are super humans.)
Generally you can get to C rank just by hard work. To get B you have to be trully strong and experienced normal plebs get filtered here. So it is tied power system. And S rank is usually legue on it's own. Group of F rank might possibly kill B rank with ambush and traps if star align. A rank would be out of reach completely for them, but group of B rank could beat single A rank. No number of A rank could beat S rank. A rank and higher would also not fall for poisoned food in most cases (and in S rank poisons may not even work in first place).

I mean no special means are needed for them to take damage, they don't become like Superman against bullets, they just tend to be more resilient
Be it a special metal or high-ranking magic, they are still beings that although they endure stabs, the stab continues to penetrate And in the end this depends on the novel But the matter started by considering lower ranks not accepting newbies |

^No need that SAO logic here~
Talking about non-RPG/leveling system integrated isekai But I kinda want to read one where people abuse the leveling system by capturing people, artificially raise their levels by monster injection or something, and then killing them for EXP Or just straight massacring people Like Coiling Dragon CN novel just harvesting souls That's crazy

My point is, you get a perfectly decent fighter and tell him to go clean severs for at least a weak before he can go hunt (slimes, even though he can take an ogre by himself, but rank...)? I could kinda get to push him into getting some experience first, but it seriously should be related to the fighting (like make him a helper for an old party). That's a lie. The whole concept of ranks is based on people growing and usually can't handle trained fighters joining. That MC is OP from the get go and the whole novel takes 1 month is one thing, but usual adventurers are supposed to grow stronger every year (before reaching 30-40 years) and rise in ranks accordingly. Even the bonker level ones usually only have high potential not fighting powers in the beginning if they join as kids. |
