Monster X Monster takes place in a world clearly inspired by the Monster Hunter video game series, but of course adds a story. Man used to be hunted by monsters, but ended up reversing the situation and now the world economy is based on hunting monsters. The people that hunt monsters are called "Bringers," but our main character does not start as a "Bringer" rather he is a NEET, an unemployed shut in who doesn't look for work.
A lot of people seem to hate the series because of the main character mainly the first three chapters repeat a cycle where our MC is about to
...
reform, but doesn't. In each of those chapters he meets a character that could be a typical shounen, protagonist for example a young man who wants to be the number 1 "Bringer", to contrast with a loser MC.
Once you get to chapter 4 you'll realize where the series is going and how his character will be developed. He will never develop into a fearless warrior, but he does find his own strength. The series is definitely a comedy, but it still has serious and dramatic moments which show up with the plot.
