Hero Has Returned - Chapter 27

Oh man, what a twist. But let’s make a check. There are suddenly masses of Isekai Heroes returning (but only in super-speshul magical Korealand). There are native Heroes on the level of WMD – who lived for 100+ years, _somehow_ fitting into our complex tangled world history with barely any change with all the magic, Chosen Ones, blessing of the Gods and so on. There are Time-Loop powers, I don’t even. There are natives from other worlds coming to this one – which can’t be the first time, realistically, and raises all kinds of questions on why a “modern world”-lookalike still existed here. There are incompetent governments which runs around in circles for months and can’t do anything cooperatively (which is completely fair, just look at Covid, for example). Throw it all in a pot, and you have an apocalypse story. Like, the author is actively writing himself in a corner, adding helpful upgrades to shallow villains. They probably think that random plot twists can substitute for good writing too, oh boy.

But if the author is willing to throw all these elements in a story, he must have thought through the consequences? The impact on the world history, the philosophy of people-in-the-know, the maps, the political power balance? No – the flat, dull characters with no development just fighting each other with barely a pause – they ensure it won’t work, even if the barebones of worldbuilding was done.
