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.

tr*sh of the Count's Family is a good story. Has a lot of premises and possesses the things that I liked in the story. This should've been five if not for the poor choice of words when having a conversation. It has poor translation as if it were a literal translation and the fact that they could've been creative in the words to create a character. Making use of simple words in a fantasy novel is atrocious in its sense. Although I can appreciate the lore and the world-building of... more>> this story and the characterization. It's almost there but a lot of flaws to fix. I hope they can fix the translation. My former professor once said, "Translating should not be taken literally. You have to read the entire book, know the character, understand what they want to portray to reach out to its readers from different parts of the world."

It is great and yes there is a lot of drama but that is what makes it good.

You can see his progress to getting strong which is very slow even if he is mostly doing things just so he can stay alive and live a life in peace.

MC is a schemer who is lucky..... in most cases.

I love all side characters and I like the plot so far. MC is also a bit tsundere and what a damn shock there is no romance not even a FL its just the... more>> MC Scamming people and annoying people who poke him.

The novel has no romance of any kind so if you are looking for that then the door is to the right just a lot of interaction and a healthy dose of misunderstandings. <<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

Love it!

It's a good fantasy novel that surprised me several times already;

One thing though. If you expect a lot of action from the very beginning you'll get disappointed!

... more>> It goes at a slower peace with the first over 100 chapters being the foundation where MC builds up his connections with others. There is not much fighting at this point of the story, only about one 'battle'.

There are more much later into the story.

The MC is more of a commander type so don't be surprised that he's not running around with a sword or awesome magic since the very beginning of every fight.

He does get involved in the battles only in the moments where his power specifically is needed. (Which is usually at least once per battle)

And even though it may seem like he's always safe and sound on the sidelines, or that noting much happens to him then wait a bit and you'll see that's not true in the least (Especially around chapter 256), he has his own share of pain.

You might think that his relationship with his comrades/friends/family is kind of fake at the very beginning, since he got involved with some of them for the sake of making things easier for himself, but the deeper you go into the story, and the better you understand MC's personality, the more you realize that it's not the case at all.

Especially after several flashbacks on his past.

Honestly there were several times where I got quite bored, but that was usually only because I was waiting for the continuation of some kind of development, but had to wait until MC deals with the things at hand.

For example: He got some important news while he was away, and we have to wait until he's done with his current business, to learn more when he returns.

I also like that there are no romantic developments so far; There is a sh*t ton of novels where the MC either has a harem or a lover, but here the story is completely focused on the MC and his comrades doing their best to achieve their goals.

To sum it all up; It's a very interesting novel that will surprise you many times as long as you have the patience to read. (Don't worry, nothing is as slow, and stretched as the Chinese martial arts novels, so you can try reading one beforehand and this will probably seem like a short story in comparison) ;) <<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

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.

It has its flaws and inconsistencies but hey, it's a web novel. I come for entertainment and not for deep and profound insight on things. I have my nonfiction and classical novels for that.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It's a feel good novel which you can read on your break and not worry too much about the happenings as the plot is pretty obvious and there're hardly any twists. It's your typical wish-fulfillment novel where hardly anything stumped the MC. Everything seems to be served on a silver platter: OP... more>> powers, comrades, subordinates, etc. It's a novel with a linear formula. The world building is pretty good though.

I gave a 4* for the enjoyment and the misunderstandings/reactions in this novel lmao. <<less

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 read it before... three times before the 'laws of hunt' came out

MC is such a unreliable narrator... also a very complex character, very interesting side characters...

Will anyone belive me if I said that I had come a very long way in the novel but there was a scene where cale (mc) interacts with a random child on his fathers shoulder and that scene alone made me go back to ch 1 to read it again?

I would like to clarify sone things, read some of reviews that said MC was... more>> a boring character? They didn't seen to read much but I will clarify this is not the case also the MC is sometimes frustrating because it is supposed to be that way, he isn't a character with no flaws.

Cale (mc) is selfish, he says he's selfish, he acknowledges the fact that he is very biased towards his people he is not a totally 'good' type of character he will torture people and will not say that's a good thing when he does it but bad when the enemy does it, he knows it's bad but well, he doesn't seem to care

Yes, the world or this novel does revolve around Cale (mc) but I neither mind it nor see it as a flaw but I know its different for others...

The reason there are kids there in battlefild is because he never had the intention to go to war, but he is the MC so...

This novel means alot to me and so does the MC, so I can't handle it when the negative reviews are from people who don't really understand the novel at all

While it might not be everyones cup of tea, I will say that this novel is totally worth it <<less

I really like LCF; it's a fun read and very interesting. However, what I don't like are certain names more so since the authors seem to try to use a word from my mother tongue only to 1. Write the word slightly incorrectly and 2. It's not even an actual name. Like seriously, if you want to use names from another language, then at least be respectful enough to use actual names and not random words that make no sense.

The second thing I dislike is the repetitive "nicknames" and "sayings"... more>> certain characters use for the MC, such as "Weak Human." They all act like the MC is frail, when physically, he is weaker than the overpowered companions but not weak. The so-called "magic" he gets is very powerful. Certain characters always saying and acting that way cause me to pause from time to time to take longer reading breaks because it's just so frustrating. I know some readers find these lines specifically very funny, but to me, after reading them so many times, it's only annoying. <<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
