Man I swear every time I think I like this series because of the setting and the setup I remember all the little girl harem bullshit it has, I just want this same series but without all the weird horny shit, or at least less of it. Rather it be the thousand year old little girls, the elf waifus the 14-year-old that they keep trying to put into a weird romance because she's technically an adult by her kingdoms standard, that precocious and clever 10-13 year old that I'm pretty sure is engaged to a late 20s early 30s yr old man begrudgingly (Begrudgingly on his end, mind you, she's totally fine with it)
But the concept of the modern world literally just slamming into a fantasy world with a focus on the military interactions between the natives and the Nations involved is something that interests me, but I just can't get past all of this bullshit and I just sort of leave bummed out.

My home hero is just kind of a solid crime drama thriller with a little bit of mystery to it, my one caveat is that you are probably going to hate/ be annoyed by the main character's daughter for most of the series. But it is a very enjoyable read, probably one of the best of its type I've read, and in a way kind of feels like a Japanese take on "breaking bad" without actually just being the plot of breaking bad

And the weekly thing usually isn't an issue for me, unless it's a series that doesn't really have good pacing to begin with, like Kaiju number 8, because I usually bounce around a lot of series and I read a lot of slop to fill those hours so even if something has short chapters or not that much progression per week, if it's better than mediocre I'm absolutely willing to forgive most shortcomings perceived or actual. Hell one of my favorite manga is a light novel adaptation that got canceled 40 chapters in that set up a lot of plot hooks that didn't get resolved because the series got canceled and I still like it purely off of vibes and aesthetic.


That being said I never really understand the "chapters too Short" argument because it's usually about chapters that are like heavy on a fight that don't have a lot of dialogue but it will take much less time to read than something that's heavy on dialogue. Or it's about a weekly series that only feels like it has short chapters because most of the people reading it read like 30 chapters at once when it first got translated and didn't realize how little plot progression happened to each chapter.

Oh yeah, I forgot that's not even his brother, in hindsight it is a weird conceit that this series started with him just replacing a guy that looks exactly like him.

I gave that a try as well because the premise seemed interesting but the way people acted in that series at least at the start really did bug me occasionally, like how the main character would just let it ride on certain issues concerning his memory loss until he figured out the whole alternate personality thing. Despite that I did actually really enjoy that first Big Arc that I think ended with him tied to a boat and her knocking out the Yakuza that was still in the car. I think I still have it open somewhere amongst my 100 or so manga tabs, but I wanted to catch up on My Home Hero before I jumped back into that.

I did read that for a while, I think I stopped because I just didn't find myself getting attached to the protagonist, like it was never bad after a certain point I just realized it didn't really appeal to me.

The worst offenders for this type of story are ones where someone dies and reincarnates ...to play a video game better?
"this is some serious s*** you guys! I'm getting revenge by playing a game! this is really dramatic"

It's been a long time since I read this, but I believe my comment was more so commenting on the fact that he went from kind of a complete bitch to a confident Dick in seemingly one chapter, the change didn't feel like a progression or development it's just sort of felt like an abrupt change that fell out of character. But I believe in the chapters following this they go back and explain why he was this confident and brash. So I suppose you can consider my past comment more critique of the fact that the character development wasn't well done. But who knows that was 10 months ago I could have also just been drunk.

it is funny that both brother's survived, one because he's a true blue demon of a man and the other solely to slap his brother's shit. poor bastard doesn't have a chance.
edit: i just realized, he is literally a Bastard haha

Fair and reasonable.

Did...did they forget the trolls can regenerate?

Never let anyone say he isn't a real one.

Weirdly enough, this series is actually tasteful and reasonable regarding it's set-up. Which is probably why It only lasted 8 chapters.

I kinda would prefer that honestly, less uncanny that way.

I always love when a villain gets so in their own head that they fumble the bag. You just know the hindsight has to suck.

I do appreciate that this is one of those series with a busted main character that actually introduces other characters that can fight and handle the villains, because I'm sick of stories where every side character starts fights and then has to "wait for Goku to show up" for anything to get done.

It's like "yeah he always loses fights that mean anything but hey he flipped that horse that one time, he's super awesome right?!"

Either this man needs to start winning fights or they need to introduce people that do, because I'm fine with the pacing I'm fine with how slow this is but the fact that every time this man actually gets into a fight after all the buildup they give him of how awesome he is - he still gets his ass beat - completely and utterly - is somewhat infuriating.
