Description
After being chosen by the Goddess, the hero Allen defeated the Demon King more diligently than anyone else. At the end of that long fight, all that was left for him was the betrayal of his companions and the cold gazes of the people. “I want to go back to the past.” “Pardon?” “The wish you said you would grant if I defeated the Demon King, it’s to go back to the past.” Allen makes a wish to the Goddess and returns to before all the adventures began. And he decides to live a completely different life than before. “There is no free goodwill in my dictionary.” ◈◈◈ After a grueling life as a world-saving Hero, Allen, disillusioned by the corruption of his comrades and the ingratitude of humanity, makes a desperate wish: to relive his life from before he became a hero. Granted his wish, Allen returns to his humble beginnings with the knowledge and power of his past life, but with a crucial difference: he vows to never offer kindness without a price. Haunted by the memories of a world ravaged by war and betrayal, Allen embarks on a second journey, this time determined to enjoy life, settle old scores, and navigate the treacherous landscape of gods, demons, and morally ambiguous humans with cynical pragmatism. He will once again face the Demon King, but on his own terms, and with a burning desire to manipulate the world around him for his own twisted amusement.

My Thoughts on The Hero is Disappointed in You
First Impressions
Okay, let's dive into "The Hero is Disappointed in You." Right off the bat, the premise is pretty standard fare: hero defeats the demon king, gets screwed over, and gets a do-over to set things right, or rather, get some payback. It definitely leans into the darker side of fantasy with its mature themes and... well, let's just say the tags are pretty descriptive. I went in expecting a revenge story with some spice, and that's largely what I got.
What Works Well
Despite the potentially generic setup, there's an undeniable appeal to this novel. It's a power fantasy, plain and simple, and it doesn't try to be anything else. The protagonist, armed with his future knowledge and a hefty dose of resentment, carves a path through his past regrets. The story moves at a good pace, keeping you hooked on seeing just how he'll enact his revenge and what kind of chaos he'll unleash. While some might find it cliché, I found the execution to be quite solid. It knows what it is and delivers on that promise. The character growth, though perhaps driven by less-than-noble intentions, is still present and engaging. You see him evolve (or devolve, depending on your perspective) as he navigates this second chance.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, the biggest downside is probably the reliance on familiar tropes. If you're looking for groundbreaking originality, this isn't it. It embraces the clichés of the genre with open arms, which can be a turn-off for some readers. Also, the "adult" content may not be for everyone. It's definitely a prominent aspect of the story, so if you're not comfortable with those themes, you might want to steer clear.
Final Verdict
"The Hero is Disappointed in You" isn't going to win any awards for literary brilliance, but it's a satisfying read if you're in the mood for a dark, action-packed revenge fantasy. It's like comfort food – you know what you're getting, and it hits the spot. If you enjoy anti-hero protagonists, morally grey choices, and a healthy dose of mature content, then you might just find yourself enjoying this guilty pleasure. I'd say give it a shot if you're looking for something easy to get into and don't mind the clichés.
