/ Fantasy / Hero Or Else
Synopsis
In a kingdom of monsters and magic, Marco Flores is just the peasant son of a peasant. When he gets his chance to be a great Hero, he screws it up by running away from the fight. But when he encounters a secretive princess, he just might get his second chance at glory. Problem is, he'll have to lie, cheat, and scheme just to hold onto it...
Updates: Starting out with 2-3 new chapters a week, more in the future. I unfortunately work a full time job otherwise I'd be one of those crazies that writes 15 chapters a week. So if you want more chapters than review and give stones and do all those other things to make Qidian-senpai notice me!

Write a reviewApparently it's a thing where authors use the rating area as a sort of communication channel with the readers, so I'd like to do that too! Feel free to comment here your thoughts/questions on the story. UPDATES I've gotten some questions on updates, so I thought I'd clear it up here. I do work a full-time job, so I can't write as much as I'd like. Still, I guarantee at least 2 chapters a week if not 3. This might not match the pace of more popular authors, but I like to think I balance it out with quality. It's my personal belief that quality is most important, so I make sure to edit and rewrite every chapter as needed. It's a personal preference, but I'd rather do slower work that I know is my best than pump out crazy amounts of chapters. Of course, if I see readers showing lots of interest with stones and reviews, I'll try my best to deliver extra chapters. LENGTH Along with quality, you'll probably notice my chapters are longer. I tend average around 2000-2500 words a chapter instead of the typical 1500. That's because I really want to go into detail on the world and the characters. Hopefully you find that longer chapters evens out the smaller amount of chapters. DEVELOPMENT For those who want to go in totally blind don't read this part. For those who wonder where I'm going with this novel, here's my vague plan. You will see Marco learn to fight better and develop as a Hero. I want his cleverness to always be his main strength, so no "leveling up" to the point of being OP, but he definitely will get stronger as time goes on. As for the world, you'll quickly meet other Heroes and learn exactly how they impact the various nations. Naturally, Marco and Reina will have thoughts about how the other Heroes operate. Conflict will ensue. Throw the other nations and the commoners of the kingdom into the mix, and Marco will find that being a Hero is juggling a lot of balls. Your enjoyment as a reader will hopefully come from watching him learn to juggle (and drops lots of balls in the process) A big thank you for reading my novel, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

Great story, the humour is on point keep it up, you used the cliches perfectly to make the story great. So keep it up you've got another reader.
I discovered this and just had to binge read! The only reason I had to stop was because I was staying up way past my bedtime, but this is definitely the kind of story that grabs you and keeps going. Great pacing, interesting characters, and a setting that gets subtly deeper the more you get into it. Great if you're a fan of fantasy but also of modern things like Marvel movies.
Didn't expect it to be that way, but it's good and I'm having a good time, getting amused by their convo. So far so good. Keep up the good work.
This story moves really fast, it's got lots of action and a funny hero, but it doesn't come out fast like other stories. Good stuff is worth the wait I guess, but I want more.....
It's soo good! Seriously, I can't believe this is like the only novel on this site that has actual good grammar and spelling. It should be read just for that but that doean't mean it isn't a good read. The characters are funny and interesting and the environments are unique. You need to read this because the writer is an actual writer, and webnovel desperately needs more of those.
I dont have to much to say but its a great story so far. Almost a 5 star, good pacing and world buildinf i really like the main characyer but the princess is kind of a *****, ha. Keep up the good work bro.
Very fun ride can't wait to see where it goes! It's definitely different than a lot of things on here. The hero isn't super OP but he's also not useless just for laughs. The pacing really draws me in and the dialogue is so well written. The only thing I'd say is write more chapters but it's too early in this story's life to judge how good the author is at keeping to schedule
Very fun read so far. Hope it stays this way. Story is interesting, setting western, character development so far is also pretty good. Keep up the good work!
it was a nice surprice!! I'm looking foward to the next chapters.............................................................................................................
Very enthralling! It's a unique idea and I like the character dynamic. Theres a lot of attention to detail in the world building, too. I can tell this will be a good read.
I started of this book excited and happy looking forward to it, liked the idea of it, the humour felt forced to me but kept on reading but I can't handle it anymore the 'jokes' are just too trash and its just way too unrealistic like the MC's plot amour is way too much worse than some translated novels. Swapped out the cliches and created a great original idea but plot amour ruins everything.
Reina and Marco ❤ I love it when they start out hating each other! Please write more! I can't wait to see their romance~ but also Leo and Marco would be good XDDDDD
Giving everything a 5 cuz I want more. Wasting space taking up space filling space I don't have more to write has to be 140 characters read this story it's really good
I wish Reina was in the cover photo. And Marco needs a face...XD the writing level is really good and it's nice to have a western medieval style fantasy on here. I want there to be more about the world they live in, but maybe they will visit other kingdoms soon. Marco is kind of lame at first, but seems like he's going to get better and stronger. I do recommend reading this novel, it gets better as it goes.

*Remember, this novel is based on the first five chapters* Constructive Criticism: I would have liked to see more information on why the fire they protected, in the beginning, is so important to them.;,;. Positive Feedback: Good plot, Character builds, and good job making it to where we get a decent amount of information without it seeming like an info dump.;,;. Personal Feedback: I enjoy this novel, I will definitely be eventually continuing it, thanks for the story.;,;.

Pros -The bickering between the two characters is great lol, it's nice to see a story where the main female doesn't instantly love the MC because he did one cool thing -Great pacing -Interesting premise that I don't know where it will go -Written with a lot of attention to detail Cons -The world seems really interesting, but we need more information on it -I love the flawed MC who tries his best, but I wonder how readers on this site will react to how he's not overpowered or outright cool
