@Zoorc Even then, there should be a level of non-stupidity (I refuse to use the word "intelligence" in this context).
With millions of people, it should not be hard to get a better candidate.
This "evil/pathetic" summoned hero trope is kinda dumb. The exception being if they were summoned by an evil god or something who wanted to destroy the world...
Like, the original author who started this trope probably just wanted to be subversive... but it's often a dumb subversion.
Like, if our protagonist was an enemy due to a misunderstanding or a conflicting but equally valid ideology, then maybe that'd work as being a rival/enemy to the protagonist.
But this??? It's just trying to add baseless edge, being needlessly subversive for the sake of subversion and just trying to copy and inherently bad trope.
I mean, yah, the satisfaction people get when these kinda characters get just deserts often give these stories popularity and stuff like that... but still...
