Read the full take

The Great War of Heroes is a conflict in which the hero and the demon king vie for survival and power in each incarnation. The fourth great war is the setting here, and the story follows a figure who has been working in the shadows behind the hero's back. That premise is a clever, funny reversal of the usual legend.The strength is the twist. The comic gap between the public heroic story and what really happens behind the scenes is sly and entertaining. The protagonist's cleverness keeps the chapters bright.The weaknesses are clear. The premise can feel busy, and some arcs follow formulaic patterns. Readers wanting a single, focused story may find it scattered.Recommended for fans of comic fantasy that plays with legend. Expect a sly, lively ride.
