Honestly is good so far, i like while he is overpowered still have weakness like that parasites, good logic addressed by the author.
Both more realistic and less then logical. The system feels more like a bureaucracy put in place by the demons to weaken humanities nations and their heroes. Not only would it allow them to build an extensive file on a given hero's capabilities and weaknesses. It would also allow them the chance to corrupt and or recruit heroic prospects by assigning them demonic agents, cultists, or sympathizers.

True not everyone would be in the demon's pockets, but enough so that demon infiltrators can near freely scout and raid even remote villages on the far side of human the continent

Are we really doing that cliche F to S Adventurer - Cough - ahem, Hero ranking system? Is there a guild too? C'mon now. :dogkek:
I'm surprised the possessed hero was killed. I thought for sure he'd have some crazy anti-possession punch, haha.

REALISM AND LOGIC IN AN ACTION/ADVENTURE MANGA? DON´T YOU DARE!!!!!

Nah.. i don't think any of those apply here, simply the author decided to get away from the rancid "one dime a dozen" trope of overpowered isekai mangas where the heroes are akin to gods and literally they only need to sneeze to kill the enemies and problem resolved. Otherwise despite having pretty good art, many people, myself included, would ignore this manga, only to come time to time to goon and totally ignore the plot.

I like the way its going. Making the demon army aactually dangerous. I want them to be very dangerous so much so that it all looks hopeless. Add more tragedy part. The heroes are so powerless against the demon king that they've struggled 110+ years without any result.
These high stakes are what made stories like Yuusha Ga Shinda, Patchwork hero etc stories so much enjoyable.

The fastest way to cement the heroism of a side character is sacrifice, especially of self. I do like that there was a contained narrative introducing him, the red herring, the reveal, and the satisfying conclusion. Godspeed, Zereus!

What the fuck! No power of friendship bullshit to save the day? Is this even posible in first place? Fairy Tail would be dissapointed

I mean, if you had gotten your sword right up to the demon king's neck, either you'd have killed him or you'd be dead. Coming back from that unsuccessful should've been a massive red flag.

Berg has a point, the hero system makes sense for regulars, but for people like him, there's literally no reason not to just do things like training and adventuring on his own. As for forming a party, if he's strong enough to make it to the demon realm, then any upper rank hero there would have to acknowledge his strength and support him, and he could always just recruit other strong like-minded heros on his own anyways.
