Hero is the worse and are hated even tho hero still means hero.

Certainly is one man’s opinion. I’d say hero is a wrong term for this. It’s not really that there’re being sentenced to be a hero, i think it’s more being sentenced to be a soldier that can be disposed of at any time/slave.

Based off the two episodes, I know xylo is a real hero. Clearly putting his life at risk for others especially at the end of the second episode. As for everything else u said. I’m just gonna take the word of a guy who has a xylo pfp and most likely read the manga/light novel.

I mean the author has captivated me personally. I dont normally like action and moreso fantasy due to how slopish it can feel. Y'know white castles, typical villages, vegetative green plains, the setting and most of the time world building that comes with it becomes so pain stakingly bland.

But in this story, I do like the idea of dark fantasy. Moreso, I like the idea of a fantasy with a corrupt political system where the heroes are deemed to be "bad people" and any actions made by the world's initial military is not an act of being a hero, but "following orders." As if its a calling to how governments and business make their decisions not by the needs for their people, but qoutas to be met. And i do feel that our goddess will break that mold and open the heroes eyes on how truly corrupt and unfair the system is, or by any means be a "light" for our hero in this falling world.

Mainly alongside with that is im just really enjoying the banter this anime has which is rare for these kindve shows where they force action scenes 60% of the time and/or very generic humor that shounen mfs SOMEHOW find amusing. I am constantly and pleasantly surprised by how this anime is grabbing me tbh and how I havnt got bored of it yet unlike freiren.
