When he comes back after defeating the demon king, his companions are not absolute dicks who take the credit. Rather, the exact opposite. He's basically revered as a god now, he's even the damn country's currency.
[collapse]The problem is, SpoilerHe's revered as a god but it really, doesn't feel like it. He's been gone for 10 years and it really doesn't feel like it. He enters the city and the people's reactions seem realistic enough.
He's a savior. He's an idol, people look up to him, and any slander is harshly advised against.
The guild master's guard does not believe him when he says he is the one and only savior. That's realistic, not s*upid.
Really? You thought that after 10 freaking years, the one guy who is probably really freaking old and probably dead from beating demons up comes back suddenly and looks like a damn 15 year old? No. That guard didn't think so, and neither would I have in that situation.
But lo and behold, the f*cking guild master amigo IMMEDIATELY rushes to MC's side in an ex-machina scene to save him from idiotic adventurers while crying like an idiot after being TOLD by his guard that someone with THE SAVIOR'S NAME simply came up and asked for him.
Considering the guard's reaction, I would assume that the way he would've told the guild master this information would be skeptical and uncaring. Hell, I wouldn't have even bothered telling the old man.
But after simply being told that a random dude with "the savior's name" asked for him, he automatically assumes it's ACTUALLY HIM? Now that's idiotic. There were no attempts to confirm that it is actually him and not a scammer or a shady spy. I would assume that several people might have attempted this kind of scam in the past, considering that the King companion states that if the savior ever came back, he would be an Archduke, that high level shit. There's an incentive for this kind of bullshit. At least test the man once before crying your balls out.
And by the way, it's not even just this one scene in the story. Later on, he gets a vampire slaying cat lady or whatever as a companion, and after defeating a vampire king monster, that cat lady figures out that our MC is the savior of the world. And there is little reaction whatsoever. Just a "well, I'll keep your secret and stuff." My man. That's actually bullshit. I haven't even read like 30 chapters and these kinds of unrealistic responses really throw me off. If you've noticed, I haven't even labeled any names in this spoiler section. That's because I dropped the novel and have already forgotten most of the names and am not bothered to check them. I even forgot the chapter number.
[collapse]Honestly, with a rant like this, it would feel like a 1 star, but I'm a relatively nice person when it comes to reviews and this novel isn't ALL that bad when it comes to other novels I've read. The manga's pretty okay too. Just... give it a whizz, maybe. It might be your cup of tea. It just isn't mine.
