Status: Completed (37 Chapters + 2 Extra Chapters)
Webnovel: Syosetsu

That girl was once called "Hero."

She was seen as the savior of Humanity and as the ultimate obliterator of Demons plaguing the world. Her magic was rule-breaking, her healing powers almighty, her weapon mastery unparalleled, and her will is of steel.

And then, she was called "monster," and her tremendous power and abnegation was feared. Betrayed by her own comrades, she continued alone in her mission. She will not stop until all Demons are eradicated. Killing, killing, killing them all. Because that's the Hero's duty.

Losing her past, gaining new companions won't alter her path. There is only one reason guiding her actions.

"Because I'm a Hero."

Spoiler for FAQ:

1. Is the protagonist OP?

YUUSHA

2. Is there a harem?

*Insert laughing*

3. Is there snu snu?

.... Nanasawa.

There are no translations at the moment but hope to get it out there. Also, I always make a thread of Nanasawa's work for the last threads I made.

Nearly cut myself on all that broken glass and Edge

[soularc55]

Oy, it's called an underdog.

[Okashira]

I haven't started it yet but this is among my "high quality" to read pile; I have read plenty of good impressions and the author has obviously proven his worth.

[Fire Lord 626]

Just what happened to her in the end by the way? Both the hero and the death girl? It'd too much if they both died

[Namorax]

I do not understand what "Nanasawa" is supposed to mean... It's the author's name, but I don't know about any of his other works.

Another work of author of girl ate Death and a sun..(something) girl.
So the MC is kinda like a killing machine?

[DarkDooM]

Nanasawas main characters are usually pretty OP but I heard that this one is on another level entirely. Fighting and winning against entire armies on her own and stuff like that. Is that true?

[Zefyris]

Can only talk about the LN version that is quite different from the WN version but...
This titles is a deconstruction of the "OP MC" trend, just like Shinigami who tabeta shoujo.
They go in a very different way to deconstruct it. In shinigami wo tabeta shoujo, the MC had the charisma to have other peoples follow her despite the atrocity of what she was doing. In this title, the MC is humanity's saviour, BUT she doesn't have the charisma that go with it, leading to peoples around her fearing her rather than being entranced, leading to her being left alone and betrayed.

Both titles are complementary and a very nice read.


Last but not least, MC's epicness and badass level is over 9,000. She's the very definition of "badass" itself.

Yeah she's extremely OP. She's humanity saviour/champion of light, basically. The counterpart of the Maou, born to face him directly. She's probably even more OP than Letitia (who is a character with the same kind of initial setting) from Yuusha sama no Oshishou sama, which tells a lot about how much OP she is.
One thing that makes her more OP than Letitia is her iron will. Compared to her Letitia was quite emotionally fragile. Yuusha's will is overwhelming.

The option should be "Hell no, you bunch of ungrateful dirtbags"

[soularc55]

Yay! Check link in first post!

Do note this is the WN so there may be glaring differences to the LN.

There ARE glaring differences between the two . This one I can confirm, as one of the main character in the LN has a role so different in the WN that she isn't even one of the main characters there.
