This World Needs a Hero Chapter 71 Discussion

(INCOMING RANT!!!)

I decided to drop it at chapter 71.

The main character is not..

Little things kept happening which pushed me to drop the whole novel. One would have to be the massive flashbacks/time skips. When I get invested into let's say a chapter then a bracket is placed at the bottom and this is what it says "A little while ago" or "Back in time" and let's also say the content that was in that chapter was a fight about to kind of start or not yet there but something is happening: Obviously I'm getting excited something is finally happening then it goes poof, it all goes down the drain. There was no reason for that flashback. At least I don't see the reason for it.

It might be anticipation the author was looking for but this also happens when nothing remotely interesting is going on. I would be fine if it happened here and there but for that to finally be the straw that broke the camel's back you'll have to understand how often it was happening.

The last thing would have to be the main character. I don't know how to describe him at this point. He was just there.Spoiler

He was at first a lackey of the hero which nothing is wrong with that.

I already knew this was an academy novel, I wasn't mad about it. I actually was intrigued, I've read tons of novels where the setting takes place in an academy so one more wouldn't hurt. This certainly didn't. The issue was the doppelgänger itself after he's a professor at the academy. I loved his classes, the way he teaches the kids. The lengths he goes through to be able to impart any knowledge he had to them. It's admirable even but that's all he offers or should I say look forward to?

His fights are a whole nother dissatisfaction. Don't even get me wrong, I'm not looking for an op main character.Spoiler

Even knowing that's he been taught by the former hero step by step for him to one day take his place.

[collapse] I'm not looking for it.

But I can't even feel proud of the mc? Be hyped about him? It might seem like a childish reason. No it is. There was nothing else I could look forward to in this story. I would've been fine if the whole book only covered his day to day as a professor, what he teaches them, what did they learn? What materials did you procure? I'll be fine with that.

This story is rooted in adventures.Spoiler

His goal is to save humanity. Have people who could take his place if he one day leaves. He's fighting demons.

[collapse] But 70 chapters and nothing of the sort? That I can even have a sliver of promise or hope about? Or excitement? For him alone, I should be proud?

I wanna brag about the main character, I'm reading it because he's a main character in his story. So show me something?

I'm sure continuing forth I would find that but I simply can't anymore. I already invested my time and getting too frustrated when I already am would just be a waste of breath. It's such a bummer cause this drew me in so immensely. At first I didn't want to start it because there was a romance tag previously if I remember correctly but then it got removed it seems. I found out there's no romance involving the MC.Spoiler

Only with the characters or students around the MC.

[collapse] That's pretty much it. One comment below made me read it. Don't get me wrong. I was intrigued at first when I was reading it but I couldn't continue anymore. Getting frustrated with an MC is not anything new but it seems this takes the cake.

Spoiler

I wanted to know more on what exactly the emperor was to the original Ted Redymer and vice versa. How is it going to unfold in the coming chapters? Especially already knowing he's a fake. I loved the relationship he had with his students especially the counseling was a nice distraction to learn about the kids more.
