So, I've just read
4 Cut Hero (also posted up on
Lone Manga, the guys who are apperently translating it...who had some issues a day ago with their own viewer.).
The prologue starts off telling about the hero, Jid, just defeated the demon king, Crodin, in practically the first page. You may think that's usually not the start of how stories are supposed to go, but this is a story of what happens after.
What happens after is that Jid, the hero, becomes a Neet! ...Wait, what?!?
Alright. typically in the old stories, the hero saves a princess from a demon lord/king/whatever and marries her for the happily ever after ending. That's what Jid planned when he choose to fight the demon king as he hears rumors that the princess is a beauty.
With delusions of lust in his mind, Jid seems to have defeated Crodin quite easily as the author apparently made it game-like with an achievement called 'that was easier that I thought', an autosave point and random drop loot.
Just to point out something, the demon kind drops a rated R+19 book that leads Jid stating that they could have been friends in another universe.
Anyways, Jid finds what he was looking for...only to find out that instead of finding a beautiful shackled princess, he saved a beautiful shackled
PRINCE. Note that a part of his mind doesn't mind it at all. Jid gets something called the 'good ending' title called 'there's no way this cute child isn't a girl' where he then makes excuses and runs away, leaving behind the prince who's still shackled.
Now, this could be a good end for a prologue, but the prince, now all alone, stomps on the dead demon king's corpse and easily breaks his shakles while basically stating that the demon king was weak and turns his interest towards Jid with a more sinister look on his face.
The current translations is up to chapter 5, not including the prologue, of which I just described as best as I could, with the chapters being fairly recent.
This series does have its serious moments, although it totally gets hit with comedy pretty damn fast, thus cementing the series genre to be definitely within the comedy section. It's not too bad I suppose as I did get a few laughs out of it.
