The MC starts as a timid beta-male. There're reasons for this (bullied, no father, etc.), but they don't matter too much. By chapter 15 he's starting to man up, so I'm holding out hope.I like that the MC, even tho he's bullied, is still loved.His family and friends didn't turn on him. He didn't get banished, no one tried to kill him, or any of those other BS troupes that happen in stories about fail-skills. His friend didn't abandon him, she even wanted to stay by him and help him train, but he didn't want to hold her back.Spoiler
I always hate the first few chapters of stories like this. I mean, watching a good person get sh*t on should make people angry, right?
Anyway, by chapter 15 he's recognized as a small-town hero, becoming an adventurer, and has his first party member (she's the girl on the front cover).
[collapse]Overall it's not great, but it's worth reading.
