Cohesive and Compelling

It is honestly rather difficult to find an "summoned as a hero" story that is original, and this one hits it out of the park. A hero disgraced for his failures, with his friends becoming crippled after their loss sets a good stage for growth, and the inferority complex he has when compared to the new heros is a believable reason to strive for growrh. The story has a main character with a realistic motivation, good grammar, and an original concept. It's had to get much better than that.

It had potential and all that, but to be honest... it is hard to understand this story.

There's no pacing, pattern, or style for the reader to follow. The author changes or suddenly blasts a completely unrelated event between A and B.

The greatest restraint on the MC's growth isn't lack of resources, knowledge, or even some kind of achievement to 'level up'... no, it is RAW laziness and lack of trying to try even the most basic things of his power.

Oh right... the author and the MC probably forgot about

, who was left in the inn without anyone to care.

It is hard to keep reading something that shows no traces of planning... or attempt of it... with the author's excuse being the following: [A.N. I'll be honest, when I wrote this, I really f**ked up the pacing. Actually, matter of fact, the pacing's f**ked on the whole of the next mini-arc, until chapter 35 or so. I'd like to fix it, but then that could f**k with the future chapters that I'm currently writing. So, uh, just tell yourself it's great writing]
