The Demon Lord who unified the Demon Realm, Dalewatts, starts his invasion of the Human Realm to bring it under his rule.

At that time, the announcement “The one that shall pull out the Angel’s Sword will become the hero and defeat the Demon Lord” circulated through the Human Realm.

Dalewatts, who heard about this, transferred his soul and magical power into a human body and slipped into the ceremony to try and destroy the hero and the sword himself, but there was no one who could pull out the sword.

The onlookers were also made to participate in the ceremony and when Dalewatts’ turn came, with no way to escape anymore, he helplessly grasped the sword, then, at that moment, after his magical power got absorbed by the sword spirit inhabiting the sword, Erin, appeared and the sword fell out.

By pulling out the sword he got recognized as the hero and his life of subjugating the Demon Lord started…… However, that Demon Lord is he himself.

Thus the mysterious adventure of going to defeat himself began.

I find the main character's lack of agency annoying. So far they have only made one singular choice which set the plot in motion and everything else has been them being dragged along against their will by characters and events that should not have the power to do so. The only thing that indicates the main character even exists is the constant complaints directed to the reader.

I find their lack of coherent motivation annoying. Why does this person exist at all. Why do they do what they do. How did... more>> they make it to the lofty position where they begin the story and yet are too s*upid and weak-willed as to keep going along with the current farce.

I find the side characters annoying. They exist only to push the MC and the reader around in events from one place to another and one mediocre joke to the next. I think the total count is 6 with one immediately leaving the story as soon as it begins. The current champion of screen-time is an annoying old man with no redeeming features or notable attributes.

In summary: annoying.

The translation seems good, don't know what made the TL pick this up but I won't be sticking around to find out. <<less
