Boot camp squad + Martial training = Game complete?

[Justiciar-]

Or are the later chapters full of Lv300+ enemies?

The boot camp squad definitely isn't a bad way to level your other characters, but level 3000 is far from what you will need to hunt down the strongest the game has to offer.
Specifically, Land of Carnage is your destination if you want to go higher, the strongest bosses and the strongest items both come from that mode.

Nope. Git gud.

Finishing the story is fairly easy, but post-game bosses go up to tens of millions in their stats. Martial Training is just the beginning of the path to greatness.

The story is basically just the tutorial... If you are casual and are playing just to experience the story and character development up The demon emperor than you will not have to worry a whole lot about the stat grinding mechanics. There are a couple of post game chapters that serve as a epilogue that are somewhat challenging, those serve mostly as a introduction to stat grinding and High end character construction. Afterwards, you may accidently unlock what is known as Land Of Carnage which will then hit you like a freight train. That is when you will open up your favorite internet browser and really peruse boards such as these to learn the secrets to Building Netherworld Demons that actually deserve the title demon.

Martial training 4 + 20 star cheat shop difficulty modifier = tutorial complete...and those enemies are WAY beyond lvl 300

I think the SGDQ speedrun of Disgaea5 used a lvl300-ish Killia and Usalia by the end, so if you're hitting 300 on multiple characters the final chapter of the story should be ezpz.

Like a lot of people are saying, though: the main story is just the jumping off point.

I'm reading a lot of "The story is just the tutorial / casual / early game", but nothing as it relates to the fact this area is available at Chapter 8 - with many chapters still to follow.

Crank up your level to 500 > rollface the story > get hit in the face by postgame > grind 40 hours to git gud. That's what will happen if you grind here without preparing for what's ahead (IE level up a Sage. Even without Land Decimator in the picture, they wreck.)

The whole series of Disgaea (and generally most NIS games) are based on the concept that the story is a way to give you a slow increase in enemy stats while you unlock the various features and get used to the game.
You can usually more or less get to the end with around 100 levels in your characters and without much grinding required (can vary depending on how you play like how many characters you field, if you field the same ones all the time, if you try to give the kills to everyone or not...).

As you hit post-game (or sooner if you unlock martial training maps as soon as they become available) you will notice a sharp increase in enemy levels (as well as skills and evilities), and as you beat those maps you will unlock a harder mode call Land of Carnage (introduced with disgaea 2) that has massively stronger enemies and bosses.
The last boss in Land of Carnage is more or less there as a target for people that want to fully max out their characters and still have something that doesn't die in one hit to fight against.

In chapter 8, you can unlock the first map of martial training, which fields enemies of level 81 (1 star from the cheat shop makes that map reach the sweet spot of level 99 enemies and reruns of the map has +100% exp geo effect for grinding purpose).
As you continue to progress through the game, you will be able to access stronger maps there (chapter 11, 15, cleared main story and clearing a zone of the post-game ones possessed by heart that has enemies up to level 1000), those martial training maps are all designed to be grinding maps after the first clear, with the 4th map being one of the great maps to capture enemies before the whole asagi thing.

Quite a lot of the post-game is spent grinding maps like those as well as the item world, sometimes going to "normal" maps to clear them in order to unlock whatever reward they offer (some give you unique characters, some give you CP for the cheat shop), with a bit of chara world, netherworld exploration and other side features sprinkled on top, but the game definitely has things for you to beat on even way past levels in the thousands.

Here, and this guy getting killed by oneshot sometimes, so nope, what you said here is not "game complete" at all, not even close, not even a 1/10 of the way. And level 9.999 is just a number. Stats is what matters. (Max stats by the way is 99.999.999, so I'm not near complete yet either)

If you mean only story, then yes, story is as easy as pie. Post game is not though, last parts of it especially.

I did say level 300 is plenty for that point...
The martial stages are like the cave of ordeals in previous games: available before post game, but you don't need to do them. They're essentially just grind maps
