The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

Description

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

In a village that is like the “First Village”, lived the innkeeper’s son, Ruth. In his previous life he had no affinity to women because he was a burly man but since he has become a handsome youth in this life, he is going to do his best (However, he still isn’t popular at all). At that time, he discovered that his childhood best friend, Alec, was a hero. And then, for some strange reason, Alec begged Ruth “Until I come home, please wait for me” …

There is a tale in the First Village where the famous people who were involved with the hero, Alec, came along one-by-one to cause trouble and approach Ruth, who was leisurely living out his life in the countryside.

A spoiled and infatuated Hero x A dense and broad-minded Innkeeper’s son

I could not bring myself to finish this one. Liked the beginning and the set up, and Ruth (the MC) is sweet and adorable. Love him!

But only 30 chapters in and I already can't stand the ML...

... more>>
Spoiler

He gets mad at how dense the MC is, but doesn't really do anything to clarify his feelings? And when it becomes clear that the MC only sees ML as a friend and is straight, ML still does not stop pursuing him (not openly, of course, and still mad af that MC does not realize). But the worst thing (and the reason for me stopping to read this novel) is ML r*ping MC. Like how can anyone still hope for them to get together after that?? Not cute and not forgivable in my opinion. The ML just makes me sick now.

Super like~!

I read halfway through the available raw.

I like the MC's growth and the twists and turns, there was not much NSFW in it (at least up 'till where I read), but very enjoyable.

Unexpectedly, it was packed with action contents too, so it's not just romance, and the plot seems quite deep.

LOVE it!

I LOVE IT. I read all the currently available raws with my poor Japanese skills and machine translation help and I'm bookmarking and stalking it on Syosetsu now. The LN edition has awesome illustrations, good editing, and extra chapters. I highly recommend to those that can read Japanese! It has all the J-RPG tropes I hoped for, packed in a well-paced and involving narrative. I also really like how the author builds up the world settings while revealing bits of the past life of the protagonist and the past of... more>> important side characters too. It's not really mind-blowing innovative but it's well-written and entertaining. <<less

I'm sorry for reviewing so early but I couldn't take the utter s*upidity and obliviousness of the MC. Or the very contrived misunderstanding brewing.

... more>>
Spoiler

So ML/Alec discovers he's a hero but he doesn't want to leave MC/Ruth. He hides in Ruth's room and almost confesses, then dubcons MC, and they definitely did it because MC complained about pain in his butt. ML had to leave early, and MC was thinking, oh maybe he wanted to graduate from being a virg*n?

[collapse]

If the rest of the novel is gonna have a s*upid moment like that, then I don't wanna read it. Dropped. Fair warning for people who hate things like this too, might be a real good novel considering others' reviews but yeah just gonna nope outta here. <<less

The plot itself isn't anything unique, and ML is the stock standard possessive childhood friend love interest, but I really love the MC. He's a cool bear uncle in the body of an androgynous ikemen, who's also unfortunately so eager for a girlfriend and such a chill, patient dude that he's completely dense to both the ML and the other love interests (?). The image of a long haired trap bottom taking care of an axe while being cuddled by the hero ikemen top is hilarious to me, but I... more>> also feel sorry for MC when people around him don't realize he's actually this cool, dependable guy. MC's family also have their own interesting quirks, both parents are great and I feel sorry for big bro.

I don't really care about the main couple, and honestly most of the NPCs are also super annoying. I genuinely despise the villagers, no matter how much they turn around and start praising MC. I don't have 50 years of patience to guide me, so I keep hoping a hoard of demons comes and eats them all up. If it wasn't for MC, I would've already dropped this once Daniel showed up, but I want to keep reading for the sake of MC and his family. <<less

Review as of Chapter 17:

It's hard for me to like this dense main character. He ... more>>
Spoiler

let himself sleep with ML but is dense enough to not understand ML feeling

[collapse]

and he
Spoiler

let ML2 keep believing that he's a woman and not correcting him when they're both alone for sometime especially when he keep calling him Lady Ruth. (I mean if in Japanese he's calling him by gender neutral name then this is invalid, but then again who knows). To me it seems so manipulative especially the ML2 even went so far to buy him gift that's maybe significant enough to propose to him. That's why I can't stand him.

[collapse]

Other than this main complaint, I honestly like this story. It's a pretty good one in world building wise, as of Chapter 17.

Edit: hold on, I read this in the Translation site and doesn't read the tag here. WAS FREAKING SURPRISED THIS IS ADAPTED TO MANGA AND THIS IS HAREM. HOLY HELL, LMAO. Does this mean he'll have two guys?

Edit2: false alarm as this is false harem tag (its still showing harem criteria but it's not harem, lmao)

(to be edited as I read more chapters) <<less

It's a bit too early to give this a rating, so I'll wait until this has at least a dozen chapters before rating it. However, if I were to rate it now, I would say it's a 4/5. The reason why it's not a 5/5 is mostly because I feel the translator could do with the help of an editor, as there are several tense mistakes and errors with verbs (for example, the subject is plural but the verb will be "wasn't" instead of "weren't").

The text is understandable and there... more>> aren't that many mistakes, but there are enough for it to be a little jarring.

On the other hand, one thing I really appreciate about this translation is the fact that it updates fast. Within a month or two, enough chapters should have been posted for me to have a better idea of where the story is heading.

As for the plot of the story itself, very little has happened yet, but what I've seen is promising. <<less

I love it and Im looking forward to the updates

The translation is easy to read and flows well.

The MC is your typical dense but good natured guy who tries (and fails) to be a flirt with women and is absolutely unaware of his popularity with men.

I cant wait to see how everything will flow considering that so far, MC is not involved with any of fhe adventure and is just at his home town receiving stories of the hero.

I love the story and how the ML is overly possessive of the MC. However, I cannot stand how dense is the MC. Like honestly, how would he consider sleeping with his best friend a mere act of kindness without any attachments. That level of denseness is somewhat irritating. Though, I love how the ML took advantage of that in this chapter. But overall, I would really prefer the MC to be much more aware of his position towards his best friend. And I was really looking forward to the... more>> Harem, although Mr. Maxim already took the first step. I wonder if he would push forward after the cold encounter with Hero recently.

For now, it's great. I will wait for the better translation of the chapters. I found another translation but I barely understand it so I prefer the translation here. <<less

Meh. ML shows up so briefly that I've basically forgotten him at this point. It's not like he was that interesting of a character either. It's your stereotypical "obsessive ML" with a dash of childhood friend mixed in. There's not really anything to set him apart besides his creepy actions.

... more>>
Spoiler

He dubcons the MC right before he leaves. In the morning, the MC wakes up alone with basically no info left by the ML. Yikes.

[collapse]

The demon subjugation arc is very tiring. It's basically just "MC is super strong but no one believes it because he looks weak." It's very annoying how every villager (including his parents!) treats him as a weak and useless person that only relied on ML.

At the beginning of this arc, the 2nd ML is introduced. He's silly, but I think he's much better than the other ML. The joke about MC's gender gets old fast though. However, the realization and confession about the truth wasn't half bad, and the 2nd ML acted pretty admirably.

I much prefer the 2nd ML's dynamic with the MC. While the gender jokes get very very tired quickly, the development of their relationship after he finds out is actually very sweet. Th 2nd ML is a little awkward, but upright and principled. His honesty and embarrassment is very refreshing and sweet, kind of like a human golden retriever. In addition, the 2nd ML (as an outsider) is basically one of the only people that recognizes MC's worth and actively tries to help him realize it. Not even MC's family has faith in him.

Overall, it's just an average story that you can pass on. I think I'll just pretend that MC forgets about the 1st ML and gets together with the 2nd ML, finding happiness with him instead. <<less

First time doing a review!

it’s cute and the mc’s very oblivious. I like it very much. Not too much drama or information overload so it’s perfect for me. I don’t know where to find the other chapters tho 😭

It's kind of nice....? There are currently only up to episode 28, but that's nice. I love the construction of their world, it's interesting. I've recently read so much of a grooming novelty, that it's nice to go back to something lighter and more familiar. I love the main characters. I only have one problem with this book, which is a really, really, really big problem in the meantime. ... more>>
Spoiler

He r*ped him !!!!!! He f*cking f*cked and r*ped him !!!!! I mean I knew it was going to happen, I read the tags. But bro.... the f*cking man r*ped him. And that's not even the problem here! My problem is the hero's reaction to it. What does "wanted to stop being a virg*n" mean? Dude he r*ped you! I know it's a novel, but there's a limit to how unrealistic it can be! The guy r*ped you, so at least you'll go through some emotional process about it! I do not care how much you, you did not want, it's r*pe! What is this dumb reaction? There is a limit to how much I can not find!

Really enjoyed the plot and how things are going! I did kinda put my hands over my face for how dense Ruth is but that's sort of his charm. It's going at a nice pace and the character interactions are really cute!

For now, this is my rating (it's 4.5) and the story looks promising actually. The premises and the plot smoothly well conveyed. I can't wait for the way ML shows his love to MC and I also expect for another ML love rival appear, fufu. Ahh, can't wait for next chapter.

Really a nice pick.

The story was fun to read and this is one of the novel which I have to be in agony since I want to read it real bad and I have to reach out for spoilers to cope with.
