Ah, the tired trope of an idiot hero party consisting of the simpleton hero, the brainless brawn, the obligatory dolled up bitch, a cute and kind girl with no apparent flaws, and the boring protagonist who does the real heavy lifting (literally, in this case). I wonder how this is going to innovate on the formula to stand out from the usual schlock. Demon King had a cool design at least; you don't get cool old dudes as the bad guy very often, either because they're a fake final boss or they suddenly become young and generically attractive. Good on the Demon King for keeping his cool old man look up until his pitiful death to a fodder "hero" party.

Hold on, isn't this that "MC is a thief class and gets betrayed" WN that was pretty much abandoned back in 2020 after the LN adaptation flopped really hard?

It could also be that it actually ended and I didn’t notice, as I dropped it out of frustration, lol.

I'm talking about a certain WN with an infuriating Thief Class MC who became Demon Lord after being betrayed, with a stupid "No Human Killing" rule, which drives the story in frustrating directions, yet things always work out in his favor, and you could 100% notice the author's poor writing skills. Overall, the story was heavily carried by the side characters.

I guess the publisher wants to give it another try, as we are currently seeing a surge in adaptations of this kind of work?
To be honest, with heavy editorial interference, the story does have a bit of potential.

OR, I could be thinking of a different WN.

I changed it to ch. 1.1 for now

Who wants to bet that the girl gave him the cloak so they can kick him later?... I distrust the "good party member" the most
