Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.

[The Birth of a Hero].

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

I became a part of that novel as the tr*sh of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this s*upid tr*sh who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“…This is going to be a headache.”

I feel like something serious has happened to me.

But it was worth trying to make this my new life.

It was nice at the beginning but super close male relationships are a bit confusing...

I'm afraid that at some point of time Cale will marry prince...

Also novel already lost some darkish vibe and char development it had at the beginning. Side chars look more like tools which are used sometimes. And it feels like author is trying to add more 'elements' to just prolong story.

Anyway, story is still nice, it's still have some pace and logic. So you will not regret reading it

I won't repeat what all the other reviews have said so far, but I'll just agree that this is a pretty good novel with a couple draw backs.

The first one is that the premise of him being in a novel he's read before and knowing what's going to happen and secrets of characters from the novel seems to completely disappear, as he catches up to what he's read at around chapter 130ish. I don't know if he somehow gets more information later on, but it completely leaps out of the... more>> novel transmigration genre into a regular fantasy novel.

The second drawback, and the reason for it getting 4 stars instead of 5 so far, is that what other reviewers are saying about the lack of character descriptions and stories are true. After a character is introduced more or less, nothing else really happens concerning them. It's as if they're either always just standing next to the MC waiting to be used, or not brought along at all. Besides the black dragon who's always around the MC, the others are still pretty much blank slates. The two kitten beast children for example never really DO anything unless he needs their unique skills. You never get to see into their thought process, or even up to this point learn more about their story. He just adds members to his party left and right almost always instantly after meeting and somehow becoming their savior. It's not really interesting though, as most of them don't really have a personality or a strong back story.

Besides that, though, so far I like the novel. It does remind me a lot of the Novel's Extra, as it's about an MC who doesn't really want to be kind, doesn't really want to be in the spot light, but ends up saving everyone over and over again. The kind of MC that doesn't LIKE being told he's a good person, yet everyone says it all the same. <<less

This novel got my attention by it's interesting teaser. On the first few chapters it got me hooked with its unique characters and storyline. I became it's fan when it made me cry buckets and made me laugh with it's characters. This is one of those novels you can re-read again and will still get you :)

For me it has a wonderful balance of slice of life, comedy and drama. It has it's slow moments but later on you will realize it's all there for a reason and that... more>> is by creating a strong foundation for the story plot.

This is one of those novel's that has given me a new favorite MC and side characters that have their own beauty. Despite the number of characters I don't have a hard time remembering them due to how the author splendidly created them. <<less

One of the the best novels I've ever read. And the reason it deserves 5 stars to me is the fact that MC wants a slacker life more than anything and to be able to do that he has to solve a lot of things, the problem is that for every problem that he solves another 5 pop out of nowhere, his dream slacker life seems as far away as mine.

Now, this novel is the one that has put a smile on my face the most other than A Will... more>> Eternal, though the feeling is different as one made me laugh uncontrollably and the other one gives me a warm feeling inside. The writing is intermediary at best and though it seems boring sometimes, the way you get attached to the characters and can see their care for the MC is simply wholesome.

After reading a whole lot of junk food novels is nice to have another novel that can make me feel something like Er Gen's Renegade Immortal, A Will Eternal and I Shall Seal The Heavens did. <<less

Casually picking up a motley crew consisting of the original MC of the novel, a dragon/puppey, a priestess of the dead, his butler/assassin, and other heroes with his easily misunderstood *It looks like I am doing good deeds but I just can't be bothered and want to roll around in bed all day charisma*. This is a fantasy story depicting a good MC striving for peace so he slack off and waste his days away doing nothing. MC does not train/cultivate and do some light scheming instead. It is a very cute story

Idk bruh.

I thought this story was gonna be fun with lots of fantasy and action but I was wrong. Second Life Ranker was dropped due to copyright reasons and I'm trying to find a novel with the same charm as the book. I thought this was going to be it but I was wrong. The action in it sucks and the overall story is quite boring. The only thing I liked about the novel was the black dragon due to its cuteness, and one of the side characters being gay.... more>> I don't particularly dislike the MC.

I thoroughly enjoy this novel and I haven't regretted picking it up. I've been constantly reading transmigration novels where the MC is OP right off the bat or everyone likes MC immediately.

TCF is a nice change of pace where the side characters are relevant to the story and actually contribute to supporting the MC. Small details that the reader overlooks earlier on are suddenly weaved into the story seamlessly with a good reason.

The main thing I love about TCF is that its world-building while also telling a story. Strategy and... more>> likeable characters aside, I can always envision the scene it sets up, whether it's for action or just drama.

If I had one bad thing to say about TCF, it would be the constant repetitive (to me at least) filler words that are really unnecessary in describing the scene.

Spoiler

Like when it mentions the kids averaging 10 years old... we get it already, they are young. You dont need to keep constantly reminding us about their average age every chapter.

In terms of the English translations of TCF I am on chapter 310 (up to date as of the current date) ; however, since I also read ahead through the raws, I guess it'd be more accurate to say that I'm on chapter 393 (up to date as of the current date).

Overall, to me, this is a 10/10 would highly recommend KR web novel.

Of course, not everyone has the same taste in what they like in their story, so the reason why I like may be a reason someone else... more>> doesn't like it. However, I would still encourage anyone to give it a read.

First off, if you're someone who must absolutely have a harem or some type of romance element in their story then this isn't the web novel for you. This is actually one of the reasons I like TCF so much. And no, he isn't the dense/clueless type of character who can't take a hint. It's just that this story literally has no harem/romance element to it, yet it builds up character relationships so well. I really like how relationships and connections don't have to equal to harem/romance/infatuation. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind harem/romance in my novels, but I just don't like when that overshadows what should be the actual plot of the story.

Anyways, here's a breakdown of what I think are the pros and cons:

Pros

  • Great story line and pacing; takes a common transmigration concept and uses it well so that it feels fresh and interesting
  • Interesting and intellectual MC that is mature and entertaining. He has a goal to live the slacker life, but ends up working the hardest to "achieve his goal".
  • Uses the "misunderstanding" trope well. It isn't too overused or used in a way that makes it too unrealistic or annoying. Later on, it transforms from "misunderstanding" from others to more like the MC can't be fully truthful to himself. It's done in a very skillful way, so it works with the MC and the characters around him well.
  • TCF builds its MC and some of its more immediate side characters very well. It even got me to like a character that I had no interest in/borderline disliked.
  • Our MC is weak yet powerful character. In the earlier chapters, the MC is definitely a weakling, but he knows how to use and work with people properly and doesn't go yolo solo. He does get way more powerful, but still can't be the most powerful in a way... at the same time the way he utilizes his resources makes him seem so powerful. An interesting conflict/balance that makes him such a well-written MC.
  • TCF uses the mystery box concept very well where it gives info but witholds enough to make the audience want to learn more.
Cons

  • Some of the side characters aren't given as much screentime (?) as others. However, the way it's written doesn't make me mad. The author doesn't neglect the side characters and seems to have a plan for them (though the length of their appearance and relevance differ). It would be nice to see more of some of the other side characters, but it's not too bad.
  • "Slow" in some parts (?). Personally, I don't agree with this, but since I noticed some people in the comments mentioning this, I decided to try seeing it from their perspective. I guess if you like your plot lines to be instantly gratifying this can be understandable, but I think the overall story pacing is well done. Certainly, there are some parts of an arc/area of the world that I'm not as emotionally invested in so it may feel "slow" at times, but I found out as I read more and more that all these pieces tie together really well in the end. Yes, it takes some patience, but the author definitely has all these plot points made to tie into each other in the end.

Disclaimer: this is all my own personal opinion and may differ from your own.

TCF isn't the most original story, or the deepest, but heck if it isn't enjoyable. From the start we're set up with little expectations, but as the story progresses with new twists and turns coming to light those tiny expectations get blown out of the water again and again. It's fairly predictable in most ways and completely wild in others, and I don't think I've had so much fun reading a series in a very long time.

If... more>> you're looking for a power-hungry harem beat-down grim-dark hell training fantasy? This is not the story for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a funny, simple, surprisingly action-packed, warm-hearted, accidentally cool kind of fantasy? This is it my guys. There's no romance, there's no backstabbing party members, there's only good-natured fun. Even in the sad parts or incredible fight scenes later in the novel, everything reads with a certain undercurrent of satisfaction in good entertainment. The action makes me edge-of-my-seat excited, the care the characters show for each other brings me warmth, the comedy is pretty genuinely hilarious, and the plot just keeps escalating. There are definitely flaws, it's no literary masterpiece, but for me TCF is a five-star joyride and I love it.

Cale is the kind of main character I'd die for IRL. He schemes and plots and gains power solely for his goal of becoming a slacker and not having to work for the rest of his life, and as you can expect, it goes horribly wrong. Unfortunately, he's a good person - and the people around him recognise that and cherish him for it. His backstory is dripped into the novel in bits and pieces and let me tell you, the more you know the more you want to shake the author and demand answers, because, what?! He's weak and flawed and interesting and in denial about where his life is headed and I adore him.

It's not just Cale either, the supporting characters are loveable and plenty fleshed-out for where we are in the story, and though the cast keeps growing larger, the author doesn't just discard old characters and instead involves them more and more in both the plot and Cale's personal life (much to his dismay). The kids are the cutest thing I've read in Ever and at the same time incredibly overpowered. Also, the author writes women in a way that delights me - every single one of them has agency and power, they have personality, they're not 1-note b*tches or evil. They're their own people and they're treated like it. Crushes and love interests? Not even brought up. It's beautiful [wipes a tear].

I could go on, but safe to say I'd absolutely recommend TCF to anyone, though I'd give it about 60 chapters to see if it's really your cup of tea, and the plot picks up a lot more around chapter 150.

Pros: good translation, fun, loveable characters, enjoyable plot, no romance, lots of humour, leaves you excited, daily updates.

Cons: The writing is repetitive, probably to up the word count; darker skinned characters aren't treated badly but there are definitely problematic elements; sometimes the phrasing is awkward; reading it one chapter at a time makes it lose a lot of the charm, better to read a bunch in one go. <<less

So far so good. I enjoyed reading it. It's not the best novel I've read so far, yes, but it's one of the novel I'd like to read again and again. Although there's a lot of sentences that being repeated many times, and it's kinda annoying to be honest. I don't know if the author did it just so that the chapter will be long, or it's just one of his/her habit, I don't know. Repetition is ok but it should not be too excessive. And if possible, Author-sama (i... more>> doubt he/she will read this XD), can you show some character development?

I've kept up with tr*sh since pretty much the beginning, it's enjoyable and has its up and downs. It's your 'Isekai' with the MC (Cale) being transported inside a book he read, but he didn't finish the book and only has knowledge to a certain point. He's a weakling in the story, and uses his knowledge that he read up to in the book to obtain strengths so that he can become a slacker in the future. He's overly misunderstood though, hailed as a hero by most... even his companions.... more>> Some of the main supporting cast is one dimensional, but the Author really tried to set-up a big cast and it made it hard to flesh out all the supporting characters. It's still a great read, and one of the few I keep up with daily along the TNE, Overgeared, and Yuusha.

I'd say my biggest complaints about the story are the fact there's a ton of deus ex machinas in it, even after the point in the book he read. And secondly, the fact the Author really avoids killing named villians in the novel but turns them all into prisoners to be used and added to the already tremendous supporting cast, despite a few. <<less

Cale Henituse is one of the most acceptable smart and rational MC I have come across. I don't complain much about the problems of this novel because it has solid plot progression. I really like the preparation part of the war stuffs. The thing I am missing the most is the resonance of the characters. Multiple pov is missing but we do get a more realistic situational report. Also the action scenes are bland compared to other Korean fantasy novels. But the author is writing knowing what generally can happen... more>> in these fight scenarios and that everybody knows it. I actually feel like reading a war report sometimes. It doesn't have any noticeable annoying things in it. I am hoping when the mysteries are solved the story can become a novel where everything makes sense and gives satisfaction reading it. <<less

My first advice is being prepared for a long ride. (I overlooked the chapter count before starting, so I was not)

I first started this book a little more than a year ago and stopped at ch216 before picking it up again.

As a consequence, I spent quite a long time rereading parts and the wiki to update myself. (I don't regret it. While rereading, I realized I missed some really unexpected foreshadowing along the way, that were almost unnoticeable, plus I got to go through some of my most favorite... more>> parts again)

But in the finish, this book is genuinely good. Quite long and time-consuming, tho. I tried to speed read it in parallel with normal day activities, and it didn't end well. Plus, I'm a slow reader at the core and am super finicky about the details. Not a good equation.

Thus leading to my second advice, Go at your own pace and don't look up the fandom too much, there's quite a lot of chance of you getting spoiled.

The characters get attaching after a while, I'd say the start is quite slow. I really expected the MC to actually GET his slacker life and was religiously reading, waiting for a spark of the light at the end of the tunnel. Surprise, I got fooled. Or should I say scammed ?

Is it a spoiler? I don't know, I just think it would have been helpful if someone just warned me of what I was getting into.

Every arc that start, already sets the premise of the next (or for 100+ chapters later). It is so that you may feel like you don't have a time to rest and pause. The more, you advance in the book, the more character you discover, the more story you uncover, the more character development you get, the more hooked you get. It's like a never ending spiral, you solve one mystery (arc or plot point) and you realize, you have three more to uncover.

Everything has an explanation, a cause, a reason. You lay feel like there are plot holes at the beginning, but trust me, there are NOT. Just keep reading and you'll understand.

I honestly couldn't understand, for a while, how the events and arcs of the story were so well-structured and there were so many of what I thought were plot holes at the time. Jokes on me, these were all well calibrated and aimed guns (Chekhov's) to hit you when you least expected it.

I think it already has been said multiple times, but the MC is NOT a reliable narrator. I easily get swept by the narrator's viewpoint when I read, and there were quite a few things that I thought odd but got cleared up the more I read.

It's not perfect and require a lot of imagination but:

Also, it is hilarious. It is rich in fantasy lore and facts. Found family tropes everywhere. And interesting backstories. The kids are hella cute (no really, the kids are the best).

Try it, you might like it. <<less

In general, this story is great. The MC is not like regular MCs, he always thinks that he is a bad person but he is actually a good person. The way he is continuously being misunderstood by others brings a good touch of humor. And the Author knows how to keep the readers on our toes by giving new facts and mysteries along the way.

The writing is good, the story unique. But I got so annoyed by the MC I dropped the novel:

  1. Super-smart planning everything that happens. He must have an IQ of at least 130 which makes the story a bit unrealistic for me
  2. Lying lying lying. Cale lies wherever he can so he can his own benefits.
  3. He is not a good person at all, I would even say he is evil.
    Spoiler

    He literally helps the crazy people in a war so his kingdom can grow better and he can live in peace.

    [collapse]
    And the permanent "Person x got scammed thinking that Cale was a good person"... probably personal preference but I don't like evil/super selfish MC's.

Basically, I agree with what alexn said.

The author ignores a lot of 'realism' for the sake of upholding/not disturbing the plot, which, I get, is sometimes necessary. However, in this case, the setting is clearly defined and most of the characters don't really act according to their role in society. There is actually a lot of missed potential to expand the story, give room for more shenanigans, give some depth to side characters. Etc.

Luckily though, that's the only major thing I take issue with. The book has decently well written... more>> characters, some with more depth, but most have a clear supporting role in certain situations (for example rushing to MC and trying to console him when they think he is hurt but he is actually not, that kinda thing; they serve as comedic relief). The story flows well from one point to the other, and the author doesn't try to make the time that's spent travelling and waiting interesting by making up some contrived side story; there's a simple time skip and that's that. Personally, that's the way I like it.

The next point may seem like a bad thing but I intend it as a plus; You know the popular phrase "A character can only be as smart as their writer"? That's exactly the case here. Everyone is pretty simple, there aren't any mental gymnastics being done, there is no epic plot twist that you could barely even comprehend with an IQ of over 190, no super complicated political intrigue. The good part about this is, the author doesn't try to force it. It just isn't there and that's enough. It's what makes the story enjoyable.

Excluding the sometimes very descriptive gore, it's a lighthearted story about MC being comically misunderstood as a good guy and getting involved in all kinds of events that he tries to avoid at all cost. <<less

It was good but I can't see how the other describe it as the best.

The MC is smart. Yes but that's also make it boring. Most Scheme I see is politics and I'm not a fan of politics after all maybe that's why. I would prefer it if the villain is some kind of God of schemes that makes MC loses in some way. Although MC seem to lose some, its not much. No one really dies in his team, maybe later but... Anyway, I also kinda don't like the... more>> MC. I don't like those MC that wants peace or wants to be lazy but ends up working hardest of all. Some scene is interesting like when he jumps and rain red lightning (I hope this won't be considered a spoiler) I kinda like to show off because MC these days like to hide lol. They don't get recognize on what they done resulting other people to underestimate them. <<less
