The Insurrection of the Inept Hero

i dont give reviews normally, but this book is great. its one of the better ones of the "useless hero gets abandoned/thrown out/betrayed" genre. the story isnt going too fast, but also not too slow. all in all a great read.

Knee jerk review as of chapter 10. I'm all about the beginning few chapters of being high importance as that's what makes me keep reading. So spoilers are here but only up to chap 10.

It's so far The Rising of the Shield Hero but edgier. Generic MC and backstory, the classic bullied by everyone, he's useless, powerless, etc, then gets crazy powers, and a system to boot. The writing can be repetitive and at times is so choppy it becomes tedious to read. World building is glossed over more or less as he "studied in the library" and knows most everything of importance.  Level scaling, explanation of magic, just a general sense of what is "strong" to be able to compare to isn't their either in my opinion.

He also levels up insanely quickly as it seems killing single wolves while he's way above their level still garners him a fair amount of exp. Which is also never mentioned or shown, he just levels up instead. So the sense of progression isn't there and it begs the question why not just cheese it and power level off of weak beings. Why even need a slave? He says he needs a meat Shield but he seems to be doing fine on his own. Even going out gaining like 3 levels with ease just after he gets the slave and this is while  it's recovering.

Overall it's pretty middle of the road, not really doing anything new or interesting. I may pick it up time to time to see if it gets better or maybe skip a few chapters ahead and deal with the lost information. Like I said the beginning is the most important to me as it sets all my expectations for the whole book and right now I'm just kinda "eh"

Waste of time, I endured till 18 ch in hope It will get better but unfortunately.....
Check for yourself if you patience enough.
Nothing personal author-san but you have to creat a few books before starting  posting something here.

Okay where do I start….
I dont really understand why this novel has such a high rating. I started reading it only because I generally like this kind of story and it had a high rating. Now after about 60 Chapters I’m dropping it out of the following reasons:
- Fighting in general is just unrealistic. Take the first few chapters for example: Untrained, weak and stupid MC gets chased by a pack of wolves. He climbs on a tree, breaks off a few twigs, somehow magically sharpens them and then throws them like olympic champion and impales all enemies….Of course ! And stuff like that happens again and again.
- The System/Powerscaling is just completely random. He basically just kills wolfs at first, which are like the weakest creatures, and suddenly he is the stongest guy in town. As if every other citizen never fought a single battle. Apparently the wolves are pretty abundant in this reason but only he leveled up significantly. I mean he is the hero but as far as I know, that just means he has no level cap. A System is a good way to set up a frame for your story. How do things work? What are you capable off and what do you need to do to get stronger. Doesn’t really work if your MC is playing by different rules! And dont even talk about the 400 ultimate skills he colllects left an right from every mop character that exists .
- The MC is just annoying….he starts as a guy who has basically no self esteem, no real will to live and who doesnt stand up for himsel….that itself is not a bad thing, it’s just how the story is. Then he gives up his humanity and becomes a typical cliche villain who explains his evil plan, mocks his opponent for beeing week and then gets nearly killed in the next second .
He just feels inconsistent….For example he just knows lots off stuff that he actually shouldn’t know just because he read a book for a few hours and in the next second he makes completely stupid decisions, like killing three guys and stealing their wagon afterwards. I mean if i kill someone the first thin i do is stealing their car and park it in my driveway

The story has some good potential. Good idea even if its a bit cliche, its quite entertaining. The problem is the leveling system. The level range from the kingdom the hero was summoned at was so far away compared to other places like maroon city. There should have been a clear "Max level" if you will or a level range of people at the apex of strength residing in that world but what you see in the story is one kingdom having people 1-100 while other cities have people 4000 and up in levels. Its sounds so weird. If the author had given the level of usual knights or kings and court mages maybe then it would've been fine or if the level range would have been more logical.
