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.

The plot is good but the dialogue and description, as well as the execution could be better honestly.

The MC party is so OP and well-rounded to the point where literally everyone else besides them is irrelevant and useless. Like, oh look the strongest warrior/mage of *a random kingdom* I wonder how strong he is. Surprisingly, he's garbage compare to anyone from MC's party.

MC has to plan everything and decided to personally engaged in every single conflict. This make it seems like other characters has such a low IQ to do... more>> anything on their own.

General situation after MC saves a group of people, coughing up blood and near death:

NPC: OMG! Thank you for saving us! Let us give you *some reward/compensation*

MC: No need. I don't want anything. I didn't do anything. It was the courage and teamwork of the people/citizens. I take no credit.

NPC: *OMG HE'S A SAINT! HOW CAN SOMEONEONE BE SO HUMBLE!!!*

This happened so many times throughout the novel and I found it rather irksome. <<less

I've caught up with the current chapters. This novel issssssssssss sooooo goooood that I had to create this profile just to write this review.

First off, this is a novel that has an MC reincarnated into a the world of the novel he was reading that basically consists of every aspect of the fantasy genre, magic, dragons, knights, kingdoms, elves, etc. But what sells this off as being unique from any other reincarnating, isekai, or transmigrating novel is that the story ... more>>
Spoiler

does not only revolve around the main character and his current world but also delves in the aspects of the mc's past and the apocalyptic world he used to live in. When comparing the current and the past MC as the story progresses, you can understand why he has such a self-sacrificing habit.

[collapse]

Second selling point of this novel is that the loyalty, friendship, familial bonds, and brotherhood in this novel is the best compared to any other novel, anime, and manga I've ever seen!!! Especially on the part when
Spoiler

During the parallel world arc, Choi Han went as far as to have a deal with the god of death in order to traverse dimensions and reach the world of Cale's past. When seeing the reaction from Cale and Choi Hans dedication, I was extremely moved

[collapse]
. Each character, even the side characters have a unique relation ship with the MC, brotherhood, family, guardian, an admirable idol, etc. And the relationships aren't half-expressed as well, you can really see the deep emotions behind each one. If you're expecting romance, then this ain't the novel for you, but regardless it's still such a gem, in fact it's better without the romance.

Last but not least, the build up towards each impactful event is slow and you may feel slightly bored of the preparations and handfuls of scheming. But when the main events come, they come hard even with the lack of details of the fights or action.
Spoiler

This was the case for during the war between the indomitable alliance and Henituse territory. The build up before the war was slow and there were some complex politics and planning involved but when all of the preparations showed their results in the war, I couldn't be helped but be amazed. Although, stuff doesn't always go to plan, and when you see the MC struggle to solve such problems, it makes you feel even prouder.

[collapse]
.

To summarize, this is the best novel that I've ever come across, and I hope that this hidden gem can be realized by more people. Have a good read if you're convinced, and there might be some low star reviews, but it's best to give this novel a read and be patient until the main and emotional events show up, then you will realize just how much you have missed out. <<less

I LOVE THIS BOOK. I LOVE CALE, RAON IS SO CUTE. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE NOVEL.

The twists and turns drove me nuts so many times. I loved the face slapping moments too. The depth of the plot is awesome and so well thought out. I kinda hope it'll be adapted into anime or something (without it being ruined of course).

Y'all should really read this. It's really awesome.

P. S. Please change the cover, Cale is supposed to be handsome, and not look like a girl. Choi Han definitely shouldn't look like a f*cking bodybuilder, he's supposed to be 17 and look 17, not look like Cale's father or something

4.5 Stars

The translation I've read is by EatApplePies. Ahhh, what a marvellous ride haha. Please stick to the story until at least past chapter 135 ish as that is when the writing gets better and the characters start to get invested in each other. Somewhere here was when I finally felt any connection with Cale the MC lol. Basically, Cale is super dense and he actually really cares for people despite the first 100+ chapters.

After that, all the characters will care for each other and you will find yourself rooting... more>> for them. The battles can be hit or miss for me but when Cale is being badass, it is very cool. The parts I most liked were the breaks in between fights where Cale spends time with people bonding and when he gets the ancient powers after the 135+ chapter mark. The intangible characters are hilarious heh. The translation is consistent from the first chapter at a high quality.

========================

Chapter 98

Hmmm, I do like all the characters and the world. And the writing is detailed enough that I can picture what's happening most of the time, which is usually a huge deterrent for translated light novels where the writing is super vague, direct and simple. Even the plot is pretty good so far, I think. It's just that for every arc/mini-arc, the climax/aftermath feels so normal and anticlimactic. Like the moment an arc finishes and Cale gets the item or achieves his objective, we don't get to enjoy or celebrate it. The author just writes that now it's time for Cale to slack off and do nothing. Then the next chapter will be about how Cale managed to do nothing for 1 month this time. And then the next thing to propel the story happens and we do it all over again. So it's like the tension or plot is constantly at this level and doesn't really rise, so you don't get that rising action, exciting climax, engaging and celebratory aftermath before you hit the next arc...

Chapter 140

Okay, I gave it another go because I read a lot of people saying it was wholesome and stuff which I really like! But I haven't seen anything like what they were praising up to chap 98 so I figured to continue since there are 600+ chapters lol. And as I read more and more, and the plot returned more to the war, it got progressively more engaging! There was more character interaction! And 130+ chapters in with the dragon, I got unexpectedly hit in the feels. And it got more obvious that the healing of these characters haha. The humour was also funny to me then. I kinda feel like the author got an editor to improve the story lol.

First, the best thing there is in this story besides the plot is how the relationship between characters work. Unlike other novels girls/women are usually portrays as someone who either falls in love fast or fall in love as time passes. In this story there's no such thing as a heroine falling in love with a hero but friendship or more like non-blood related siblings or family. Emotionally worried about the hero but not romantically. Just because Cale is a hero not necessarily should the women fall in love. Unlike... more>> other novels where even if a woman was introduced as a person who pursues their dream like being a knight or something who hates people who looks at them as woman but not their profession they all eventually fall in love with MC just because he's sooooo heroic and helped them. Look at Rosalyn acts there's no such things as romance even though Cale's supporting her dreams. If it is any other novel that was a flag for FL to fall in love to MC. Anyway I like how they aren't portrayed as accessories to make MC look good because he's a hero.

What bothers me:

some settings might be or already forgotten such as the:

supposed to be Highschooler Kim rok soo

World tree branch weapon???

fire elemental who admires fire of destruction

There's also On and Hong who aren't given much attention. Out of the three kids Raon has more presence and always leave On and Hong on matters even regarding the secret. Beacrox and Vice captain who's supposed to be highest grade knights just below sword master not much presence. Pendrick as should have been part of the original hero party. Cage as the crazy priestess on the battlefield. Allied leaders who had presence in the birth of the hero are now just background characters. <<less

One of the few that are nicely translated. The MC Cale has a likeable personality and the battles are enjoyable to read. No weird relationships and the plot is quite lenghty and detailed.

Hope this one will be completed and fully translated as of now, we are at what the characters are calling the 'final battle' but a few plot holes are left currently, so I'm guessing it will be a lengthy battle.

One of the better / best translated novels out there. There are a few weird sentence structures, but... more>> for the most part, A++. <<less

I absolutely love this story. Would recommend.

No harem so nothing detracting from the main plot

The side characters are all really well developed. You'll get attached to all of them. And none of them are useless caricatures which is a huge plus. You get to see both the development of MC's relationship with them (really wholesome and well written, like you can understand why their relationship is like that) and also their own character development. Even the more minor side characters ... more>>

gets character development.

Really nice balance between action and fluff. Both of which are well written

The MC is a good guy from the start. He's just a dense tsundere lol.

The plot is really well written with a lot of things mentioned early on connecting to the later parts of the story
Spoiler

And quite groundbreaking in a way too. Normally transmigration stories MC has a normal background but Kim Rok Soo's world is worthy of another novel lol. And then later on in the story they connect it. Basically super interesting stuff

I really love this wonderful work, it's amazing how everything's so natural despise everything's added here without any limit, which I never expected.

Tbh, this is the greatest work I ever read, because I was really into action and comedy genre. So I must give this novel 5 star because it is really met my taste.

And, maybe some people would get annoyed how it's repeated many lines, and didn't had any romance problem, but I don't think that's a big problem because some people (just like me) really loved this kind... more>> of works.

Enjoy reading!^.^ <<less

I wonder why the rating for this amazing story is still at 4.4 stars in NU when it’s absolutely worthy of being a full 5 stars and is actually overwhelmingly recommended in other sites.

TCF is definitely one of the best I’ve read. It has almost everything I’m looking for in an action-adventure-fantasy and kinda slice-of-life story. I love how the story started in a simple manner and becomes more interesting the more you read it. It just doesn’t get boring. I also love how ‘human’ the main character is, he... more>> is not perfect, nor a goody-two-shoes, he is selfish in his own way, and is definitely not the cliche kind of protagonist... but you will absolutely love him. The author is very good in showing the character development of each character in the story whether it’s about the main characters or just someone passing by, you will learn to love each character in the story.

The story’s exposition is done so well you’d be amazed at the details that were hinted chapters ago to actually be of great significance. What I do love the most about it is how the story focuses on what true familial love is, that whether you’re blood related or not does not really matter much. Race, blood, color, gender, and language does not matter much if you want to care for someone. Love is love no matter what form.

I can’t wait to read more! <<less

This story gets 4 stars automatically for skilled use of intentional unreliable narration, world-building, late-stage plot twists, attention to detail, and the merging of genres (mild spoiler there). This story definitely isn't perfect, but +1 for not having cliched, one-dimensional female characters sidelined as simple waifus that are in love with the main character. No, they are powerful and respect the MC for his various qualities, but do not bust out panty shots for him. It's refreshing seeing such a long story without a hint of romance unless we talking... more>>

Choi Han x Cale (but even that's a bit of a stretch

[collapse]
.

I will say that this story really scratched my dominate-the-world-with-smarts itch, but character development and writing style definitely are a couple of the negatives for this story. Awkward phrases like "children-averaging-nine-year-olds" are repeated to death, and character development isn't as fleshed out due to (1) the huge number of characters in this story (2) the plot-driven story filled with plotting and deceit (3) all the unraveling mysteries still needing to be solved. This story has a lot on its plate, so often times character development will take the back burner. Nonetheless, I still really enjoy reading it, and even now I still eagerly await updates weekly. <<less

LOVE this novel. You can tell how much effort goes into the novel as every little details even from the beginning that would seem insignificant tie things together as the story progresses. MC is very likeable and a bit of a tsundere but it adds too the story. Cute, adorable characters, relationship dynamic development, plot, everything is top tier.

I got to chapter 73 but I think I'm giving up on it. I started reading this because the manga left me on a cliff hanger and I wanted to read more. But the MC is portrayed differently in the manga and I have to say that I like it better. And you are able to tell what the other characters are thinking much more. I won't stop reading the story completely but I think I'm going to stop the novel and just read the manga instead.

This is a GOOD story, no lies about that but to be critical. Yes I love the our redhead protagonist and co. There is an amazing cast of characters waiting for you. And the author has a unique spin of making use of ever named character.

The story writing is pretty good and you could rate the world building at *5/5. I can binge a hundred and come back to it after a short absence, the story has context clues and skillfully transitions between flashbacks. Like DAMN the author knows how... more>> to write. Each chapter WAS short and straight to the point.

Sad to say that this novel suffers from its long publication. It had the makings to get it this far. Given that it was early on in the series, it was fine to be vague about some plot points but now it borders the pattern of, ‘leaving vague plot details, in case they could be used’ as 1) plot armor or 2) witnesses. Even if the author meticulously plans it, if feels kind of cheap given how far the story is. There is never a long period of time where the protagonist is NOT busy. The end goal is highlighted at every chance, “to be a slacker” and the contrast has long worn itself out. It feels nothing has really developed as point A tries to reach point B. At some point the eventful... events are just stalling for time. It feels like a fruitless struggle which is frustrating. (Even so I would like to smack author-nim from behind at least once for how they pull twists. I’ve really come to like them, though that’s a personal opinion.)

This series is void of romance, but it has FAMILY. The children are wholesome and noonas, hyungs, dongsaengs and the parents are all wholesome. AND, this story has the components to write fan-fictions, if you need to resolve your urges you can probably find fan works online. The community is great, especially the comment section~

All in all I can feel the author is a kindred soul who is as much of a fan of Cale, our protagonist, as much as I am. And if I had the opportunity, I would totally start a cult for the redhead protagonist~ <<less

MC wants to be a slacker and knows that both his mind and body have to be at peace in order to do so. The problem? He's decisive in that he always keeps his word and puts in copious amounts of effort where it's due. He values his friends over all else, and his friends just so happen to be solidly on the side of good. He's a downright paragon, and he'd never admit it.

There are absolutely times when this story gets boring, or annoying, or repetitive. But it's goddamn... more>> worth it to stick around.

Besides, I think a story where the MC inadvertently discovers the secrets of the universe is allowed to have a slower pace.

I DONT CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THIS NOVEL IT'S ONE OF THE BEST FOR ME. I've been reading this for a few days now and I can't stop, it just keeps me up thinking about it. First of all the MC is my favorite kind, he's not a goody two shoes nor an evil bastard. His personality is basically if I can't avoid it I'll deal with it. He doesn't run away from his responsibilities and is always confident. He is somewhat dense but I love that side... more>> of him because I understand that its been a while that someone showed care to him since he is an orphan in his past life, I thought his personality is pretty much realistic.

The plot is good too as it makes you want to know what happens next and keeps you looking forward. There are a lot of exciting moments and funny moments and times that makes me think. I won't spoil anything but I think this novel is great for those who likes adventure novels but HATES those too heroic goody two shoes main characters who only knows how to shout justice or too much of an anti hero piece of sh*t. <<less

A very nice read. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could. Lots of good humor and world building. After the first few hundred chapters and the introduction of the main bad guy I've been a bit burnt out of the story and am not feeling those excited moments as often. If I had to guess it's because for most of the story there is good execution on the MC's hidden knowledge and the way he makes up for changes in the timelines are thoughtfully done. However, once his knowledge... more>> runs out things seem like they just happen now and the MC has to win through brute force or getting lucky. I still like the characters so I think once the story is completed I will go back to this and binge it. Hopefully there will be a really great ending. <<less

I‘m glad I stumbled upon this treasure and opened the new genre I really enjoyed for myself.

The interactions between the characters and their stories are the most heart warming thing I felt since middle school. Everyone is little bit tsun-tsun and MC is the biggest tsun of them all and it is beautiful. The scamming, fking over villains, and all the sass had me wheezing on my bed and it especially has a charm of its own that attracts my attention no matter how much the author sometimes likes to... more>> repeat every little word in every paragraph.
