So MC that worked as a slave for a black workplace has saved the world and is now going around collecting a harem, anyone seen this story before?

"Why would I leave a party where the members beat the piss out of me for stress relief?" "Why would I leave a job where my superior steals my work and BURNS me with cigarettes for fun?" "Why wouldn't the Well Spirit give the legendary sword to the Hero, the person she hates the most in the world?"

Man it must be tough being a moron. There's just so many things you can't figure out.

My reasoning after reading so many of these types of stories is that the word 'hero' does not have the same meaning as the normal definition in the english language. The word 'Yuusha' in Japanese is not the word used for 'One who saves/protects others' , it is meant to be the word for 'One who vanquishes evil'. Even if you can destroy evil creatures, it does not necessarily mean you're a 'good person'.
Anyone who is more learned on the matter, please correct me in the comments.

He probably has the same mindset as medieval person, where he thought serving someone with higher social status is an honor and a must by the citizen. Other than that either he has some kind of trauma where he argue/retort/disprove to someone and it end horribly, isolated childhood where even his family shuts him, or he has been brainwashed as a worker of black company to think that everything he do can be done by anyone else.

I mean the spirits (even though they claim MC is their savior/benefactor and friend) never even try to find out if the news of his death is true or false, they just take whatever bullshit the hero threw at them. If MC didn't get fired, they would never find out.

I can't speak for the Japanese take, but this certainly conforms to the original, classical Greek take on it, where a "hero" was just someone who undertook great quests for glory and honor; it was just coincidence that these quests often included slaying monsters that plagued people.

For instance, there was Jason (of the Argonauts) who went in search of the Golden Fleece; he only went in search of the Fleece at the order of a king, who wanted to give Jason his throne. During the quest, Jason enlisted the help of Medea, who even kills her own brother to aid Jason.

At the end of their quest, Jason and Medea marry, have kids, and settle down... For 10 years, at which point Jason abandoned Medea and had her exiled so he could marry the daughter of a king. Medea, in revenge, poisons Jason's new bride and her (Medea's) children with Jason, killing them all to rob him of his legacy.

Despite all that, Jason is still considered a hero by classical definitions, even though modern definitions would consider him little more than a mercenary and an asshole.

She says she's free to move like a water wave. So if anything happens with the village, she'll know right away.

Quite informative! I guess it's the "Eiyuu (英雄) (Legend)" vs "Yuusha (勇者) (Chosen)" debate.

The word '英雄' (eiyuu) is used to describe a person who is admired and respected for their exceptional achievements or noble qualities.

On the other hand, '勇者' (yuusha) specifically refers to a brave and courageous person who embarks on a quest or adventure to defeat evil forces or protect others.

I'm willing to bet this ass of a "hero" is a Yuusha. Merely "chosen", without any saving personality traits. Special power = his weapons can hurt demon king, a tool and nothing more.

Those nuanced stories are most common in other WN with more depth than a comic. "Behind the battle of the Hero and the Demon King" is a great example of this. (Too bad the WN is on indefinite hiatus.)

it is only fairy tales and children's stories where hero = a good person.

Most usages have to do with accomplishments and not the quality of your character.

One definition is "a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities." many assume the noble qualities sis a must because of fairy tales and children's stories. but it is an optional component.

The ugly old lady says her happiness is connected with the villages, assuming she was being literal, then no matter where the spirit dwells, as long as its happy then the well will always have good water
