I Don’t Want To Be a Hero

My Thoughts on I Don’t Want To Be a Hero

Alright, let's dive into "I Don't Want To Be a Hero." This web novel definitely took me on a ride, and it's one I have mixed feelings about, to be honest. With a blend of action, adventure, comedy, and enough genres to make your head spin (sci-fi, supernatural, xuanhuan!), it's certainly not lacking in ambition.

First Impressions

My initial reaction was a bit skeptical, as the premise of a reincarnated protagonist with cheats in a world-hopping adventure felt a little well-trodden. However, I was curious enough to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did, even if it wasn't a perfect experience.

What Works Well

The world-travel aspect is undeniably a major draw. The author throws our protagonist into a variety of familiar universes, ranging from One-Punch Man to Dragon Ball Z and even Ultraman Tiga, which I found to be a pretty cool and diverse selection. Seeing how the MC navigates these established worlds and interacts with iconic characters provides a lot of entertainment. The "weak to strong" progression is handled decently, though it takes a while to really kick in. If you're looking for an OP protagonist from the get-go, you might be disappointed, as the real power-ups don't seem to arrive until well past the hundred-chapter mark. The harem elements are present, so if that's your thing, you'll likely find enjoyment here.

Areas of Concern

While the world-hopping is fun, I do feel the ending might be a bit rushed. It would have been great to see a more fleshed-out conclusion to the overall story arc.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Don't Want To Be a Hero" is a decent read, especially if you're a fan of fanfiction and don't mind a slower power progression. It’s certainly not a masterpiece, but it provides enough entertainment to be worth checking out, especially if you're looking for something to pass the time. I'd say it's a solid 3/5 stars.
