That’s still better than the Japanese/Korean version: “I’m powerful because I don’t know to look both ways before crossing the street.” (Or for the c/fuckcars crowd, “I’m powerful because society still hasn’t fixed its motor vehicle violence problem.”)
Actually that’s one thing I like from eastern entertainment literature, be it shounen anime or cultivation, they need to train. Train hard. Even if they are born a special snowflake many protagonists still train until that snowflake is a buff snowball!
I like those versions though, because they’ve given us some real bangers. There’s one I was reading where the angel who was supposed to hit the soon-to-be hero with a truck starts getting truck-blocked by a character from the fantasy world because he’s tired of the no-effort heroes coming through and beating the crap out of him because he’s the worf.
