【Hero Alistar, a legendary hero who has saved many people with the Holy Sword ■■■■■■. There was a person who was always with him, Saint Magali. The two of them, with a bottomless kindness and benevolent spirit, no matter what danger befalls them, they saved many people that suffered hardships and injustice. This book describes the history of the legend of the greatest Hero and Saint of all time.】

Excerpt from the preface of 『Holy Sword Legend』.

My childhood friend, Magali was chosen as a saint.

From now on, it seems that she has to keep smiling to everyone in the capital, and has to live in a terrifyingly strict world that has things like manners and dance.

We’ve been together since birth. As expected, there is something left in my mind.

While feeling a little lonely… I held down my childhood friend who no matter what was trying to escape and turned her over to the knight who came to pick her up.

「Alistaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!」

I could hear a resentful voice, but that was probably my imagination.

I was taken along to the capital to see her off as a last struggle… but, it ended without any problems.

「Now, I’m going home. Good luck ^^」

I turned my back to my childhood friend who looked at me with resentful eyes. And when I was on my way home… I was being chased by goblins.

「Noooooooo!! Someone help meeeeeeeeeee!!」

This is a misunderstood legend of a hero and saint with the worst personalities that’re pulling each other’s leg while pursuing a happy life.

It was interesting, but after the sword was introduced the story goes downhill, yes the sword was necessary for him to do heroic things, and if there weren't events that he will be forced to save the day he will not be a hero. But the sword... Has such a don't know how to express it, but it's irritable for me to read. But the story isn't bad, made me laugh a few times. And could be interesting if the sword have not such a huge control of MC.

P.S Sorry... more>> for my English, and have a nice day. :) <<less

An MC that literally became a puppet/sIave.

A cursed sword that can control his body, voice, and can even punish him for resisting or simply his thoughts. He can't even do what he wants anymore, no way to really do anything if the sword doesn't allow.

What a convenient plot device, one that forces the story to go the nice heroic justice way.

Could've been a much better story with his interactions and schemes against the saint and whoever had he been free, just like in the beginning before he picked up the... more>> sword. What a waste. <<less

This is one of the... If not, the best web novels I've read. You have a ML, a FL, and support characters pulling in every direction. At this point, and I will be frank. There is no true (required) romance at c39. ML wants a sugar momma, and FL wants a sugar daddy. Side characters want to force their intentions on the leads. And yes, it's hilarious as can be. ML gets dragged into a mess and can't escape the mushroom cloud of consequences. FL catches someone else's eye in... more>> another way, and must sit (nearly) idle while enduring the unwanted attention of royalty.

Both ML and FL are completely contrary to the usual tropes, and their constant struggle for power and against their current situation is really refreshing.

I had zero plans to rate this, but that Toast chump rates everything 2 stars or below, so I had to up-vote my absolute favorite novel here. Every day I find an update on this is the best day of the week, and holy heck there's 5 chapters up today... Glasses up, boys! <<less

Good story, I really mean it.

Story is about alistar and magali who actually has wicked personality but society condemn them as hero. The foundation of story are really solid and some moment really did make me smiling.

Character.. To be aware except MC and saint, others character doesnt even described in portrait and lack of personality. We got plenty character going on and except 'the breast is huge' or 'he is handsome' we really doesnt have anyway to picture the character. Its my first complaint.

Plotwise, its damned hillarious actually. Caution, if... more>> you dislike pathetic MC that actually coward and just being controlled, move on from this novel now. You have been warned. For me, its main selling of this novel. The dialogue between MC and sword is fun to read, and its funny how MC and saint actually clash each other every chance. However, the story actually seems rushed and isnt detailed most of time in action and stuff happened.

Spoiler

its like how MC manage to defeat all member gray guild, how even MC has time to defeat wyvern and get evidence of wicked nobel.. I think author just want to put everything without planned out of convience

[collapse]

Overall, its not perfect story but enjoyable for me. Easy 5/5 consider the running gag is their main sell point. I hope it would stay same in future. <<less

Like others have said, the story has promise until the introduction of the holy sword. After that it turns into a generic hero story. The "comedy" is that MC is acts like a generic hero who saves people while secretly complaining about having to save people. It's not funny. It's boring.

Yeah, dropping this... after reading the rest of the reviews that tell us that the plot dynamic between the Holy Sword and the ML doesn't change for 100+ chapters, all goodwill I had towards this novel disappeared. The Holy Sword controlling the ML's body to do good deeds (against ML's will) gets old really fast.

The banter in this novel is good, but the translation doesn't entirely do it justice so it falls flat, and the FL while interesting doesn't even appear in this arc, so it gets boring after watching... more>> basically the same scene in different scenarios. <<less

At the beginning it was very good. Funny, inventive, interesting. Then the holy (cursed) sword gets introduced and every bit of ingenuity that this novel had goes to the garbage bin. It becomes boring and s*upid and a pain to read.

Don't waste your time on this tr*sh

*Read on to Chapter 45, all said before still stands.

Rating: 2.5/5

Its a bit early, but I'm dropping it.

My rating is generous given that I wanted to drop it at chapter 14. I persevered and struggled through it to chapter 32.

Translation quality is good, it reads smoothly and has a decent flow, sadly it can't compensate for what it is, which is quite a poor story.
    • What's most disappointing about this novel is that it has a brilliant set-up, followed by a heinous execution, in the form of the 'Holy Sword'.
    • The Sword while needed to force ML to stay in the capital, has way too much influence over the story for such a 1-dimensional character. ML can present relatively strong points to dissuade the sword from unreasonable, random, 'justice', but the sword doesn't deviate or even reason with the ML. It forces a frustrating, one-sided power dynamic, that has an interesting character become the cliched, cookie-cutter, 'dumb hero', sidelined to live commentary on his body's actions.
    • The FL is majorly ignored so far to focus on the ML, but she had a promising introduction, but I have low hopes based on the butchery that was done to the ML.
Overall, the Sword ruins all the impressive potential this story had. Not enough scene time for the FL to give any praise, or criticism. If you can enjoy reading about a hero who is physically incapable of following his intentions through, due to his body being controlled by what at best can be called a well-intended moron, you might enjoy it.

A good story

It's fun to read, but the sword is annoying with his 'justice'. There were times when I wanted to stop reading because of this, but the story is interesting enough to prevent that.

In raw recent chapter, the sword finally got what he deserve

There is someone strong enough to manipulate everyone's memories... except Magali's.

That person become the hero and Alistar is being forgotten. Well, it was a good thing for Alistar because he can slip away from the capital and stopped being a hero.

The sword? he become a scarecrow and a growth promotant for the field. The plants grow fast and Alistar can harvest easily.

What a happy life...... or not, don't forget that there's no way Magali will allow that.

It was kind of interesting but the MC might as well be possessed since he can't do anything and just complains which gets dull pretty quickly.

The relationship between the MC an the Saint is actually enjoyable but the whole not being able to fight back so he gets dragged into all these 'wakey' situations made me hate the story
