Honestly, it kinda sucks that we have to wait months for each chapter.

Now into the chapter, the manga so far has been a lot more respectful to the series than the anime. Just from this chapter alone.

I mean, he doesn't seem to be a bad guy so hopefully he's good for something eventually
That really is his problem. He is good at everything. He has literally in his entire life never struggled at one single thing Until his battle with that demon. Thus, never once in his entire life has he ever been challenged or had his beliefs tested, which makes it very hard for him to admit when he’s wrong

"Hero" is a title thats bestowed by the people after the person does something heroic. It is not about strength, but actions.
When it is bestowed before said action, then it becomes a job title, no different than a farmer, no more, or less, amazing.

A chad like Himmel in Frieren deserves the title of Hero because of what he did, not because he was strong. And, as expected, he was never called a Hero before he took action. Whereas all these isekai cheat 'heroes' got their title before they even started the journey. Its a title saying they had power, not that they are heroic. Its a common difference.
You are only seeing one half of it. The other half of it is people bestowing the title on someone to force them to do most of the work, possibly sacrificing their own life to do it. So that especially those in power could pretend they arranged all of it and everything was going according to their plans when the hero was beating their enemies. The king/queen, whatever, barely needed to do anything, but since they named (summoned) the hero, it was their honour as well when the hero secured the victory. If the hero fails, people can put all the blame on him, thus avoiding feeling too bad about their own lack of personal effort.
