This novel starts so so though when it gets further in the story it gets really good and explains a lot of things because the reasoning of why he stopped being hero was way more than what is mentioned in the first chapter I look forward for you to translate it further though you do have a long way there is like 20 volumes so far and it is not over.

I guess humor is something subjective, but this really wasn't funny. It's dry and boring. Reading about the superhero fights is... very boring, somehow. I mean, yeah, if the MC is OP then there's no tension in the fight, but also because the fights have zero consequences... so we have no reason to care.

The gags (e.g MC's sister beating him up for making some jokes) aren't funny, either. They are overused and don't really have any novelty.

I guess it's just overcliched and just doesn't really work as a comedy story... more>> (or any other story). <<less

So basically some sort of mix of OPM (for the powerup style - just happens and becomes impossibly stronger than everyone else) + Samurai Flamenco world setting (the rest of the setting, including both the alien parts & corny fights & dense MC). Hopefully it will have some funnier jokes or bring something funnier to the table later! Will have to wait and see.

This series starts slow. Very slow.

But it accelerates over time. Plots kick in. Character development kicks in, etc. Sure some of the jokes are pretty lame, on the same level as Tang Jia San Shao (author of Battle Continent), but the story is pretty interesting in and of itself.

In other words, it is rather entertaining. It isn't unique in any sense, but it is a good chinese satirical series on the "super hero" series.

And let me tell you, good chinese satire novels are really rare.

It's really boring and even though it's supposed to make you laugh, it isn't able to do that. The story consists of repetitive conversations and it's extremely annoying to have a MC that doesn't do anything with his powers. The first chapter put me off and I should have stopped there as it only got worse in the next few ones.

Edit: The manga is really good so do check that out. (Hero? I Quit A Long Time Ago)

You have your overpowered character, a super hero world, and some comedy thrown in. It's nice for a light read to laugh about with action.

i have read the manga, and I was wondering whether it would be possible to read the novels anytime soon, since it is already finished. The story is getting good though, and I want to know how it ends.

Read the manhua, so I'll be doing a review based on the manhua adaptation (I'm not gonna rate for this reason, even though the plot is closely followed).

It's dumb? Okay, think of One Punch Man's humor, but add Chinese and Japanese tropes (some of which are cringy). The manhua had a lot of references.

I'm just gonna say that if you want to take the manhua seriously, your brain's gonna melt. It's a bit of a parody. It's ridiculous. Cooked chicken spirit attacks, etc. I feel like it gets more serious... more>> later, but it's still overall very derpy. It's an acquired taste? If you don't like it after 10 chapters, you might get annoyed at the type of humor despite the plot/characters/mysteries being interesting.

I must say that the story is interesting despite the tropes being pretty common. I think the OP MC is written well (most OP MCs get stale), and his personality isn't bad. His currently unrevealed past (including why the heck is he so strong) seems to be pretty interesting.

Not sure about the MC's harem, but I don't think he takes them seriously (for spoiler reasons). The side characters are memorable, and there are a few (one?) interesting villains. Lots of hypocrites (not-friendlies) though. Also, dumb villains are dumb.

Overall, it wasn't that epic, but it was interesting enough to keep me hooked for 200 chapters of the manhua. There were some great hype moments, but dumb moments too...
Since the novel translations are kinda ded at the moment, maybe go try the manhua (currently being translated well). <<less

Not a lot of depth but its an okay comedy thats only being brought down by the mosaic dude's antics. The quality could be much better but w/e. If he focused more on our MC and tried to combine seriousness and comedy this would be a much better story. As for the jokes, theyre funny and make me chuckle but they lean too close to 12yr old humor.

So I read ahead, and I just wanna say that the story gets a lot more interesting later on :^) Like he finally whips out his Zero identity at some point and utterly destroys people so that's a plus

It sort of gets repetitive with the arcs being: normal -> oh no enemy -> utterly destroyed, BUT it's still a fairly interesting novel so I like it ;)

P.S. I forgot where to find the raws rip xd I wanna read it again, so is it ok if someone... more>> sends the link to the raws? <<less

This is a good story, except for his personality when someone's ridiculing him for being otaku or because he have somewhat normal look and seem not to mind about it. This story is much more like OnePunch Man with OP strength that can solved problem with 1 strike (at least for now)
