Hero Has Returned

I would like to address the strong misunderstandings of this story. I must emphasize this is one the the special types of stories that does NOT have a direct main character. This is a world building type of story where the focus involves the world and how many important characters influence it. (Almost) every side story adds to the context in terms of worlds building. You don’t tag along with the main character everywhere, you follow along with many characters, see how the world is changed and affected by different peoples actions, how each minor action connects to a major one and builds up.
Its also not wrong or incorrect for a story to not have main character you always follow.

The author does a good, but not great job at organizing it so that each minor and individual adds up to future events giving context.There are some stories which meh though and/or lack significance and/or drag on too long. Its good but its not perfected.

Of course, some people are not at all use to stories that don’t have main characters, I wanna call those people idiots, but I’ll refer only to those people who whine about it on the spot and don’t even try to process what and why this is and must be different

This conflict is large on many scales, if you wanna see little worldbuilding and two big characters with deep backstories fighting it out, this is not for you, however, if you want to have a large context and understanding as well as backstories for many character, this is it.

There are many main characters, well 3 to be more precise, The sword hero, the spear hero, and another I will not mention due to some people not like spoilers or something stupid like that. This story does not follow the sword hero, you dont follow his actions, then follow his rise, fall, demise, redemption, or whatever. No you see this from a world perspective, his views, his ideology his reasoning, and what he will do to the world, you will then see how the world responds, the counters that are brought up and their perspective, ideology, and reasoning.

They are the “main characters” in the sense of affecting the world building the most, not in being the charaters you as the viewer will constantly follow and observe.

A worldbuilding type story is very difficult to pull off, this manga/manhwa has some issue in organizing some of it, but still does well, I insist on understanding that this must not be process like the standard character based story.
