WriterMate's reading
A difference of 1 title means WriterMate reads this as holding steady. With a sample of 20 titles, swapping a single title already moves the figure by 5.0%, so we require a change of at least 2 titles before calling it a rise or fall. 80.0% of the titles carrying overpowered protagonist also carry adventure. It is more accurate to read this as the "overpowered protagonist + adventure" combination moving, rather than the genre on its own. Next most common: fantasy world(80.0%), fantasy(80.0%).

Story pattern read from the synopses
5titlesAll 5 works with the 'powerful protagonist' theme this week share a narrative where the protagonist possesses overwhelming power or overcomes crises through special abilities. Many stories involve attempts to change the past via time loops or regressions, or struggles for revenge and survival.
What changed from last week — Last week's works primarily featured protagonists with great power fighting for revenge or survival. This week, attempts to change the past through time loops or regressions are more prominent, and the ways protagonists use their abilities to overcome crises have become more diverse.
