Really people. Being the hero is the worse you could be, aim to have the magic powers and go your own way. Maximize your capacity in magic and life away from the conflicts, change are that you will either be forced into the story as the "shadow support" character, which is better than being the MC, or be able to live in peace making use of your OP cheat like powers. Well if you are smart which is something most people are not from what I see in the coment sections of these stories...
