i THINK the story would have been better if he first met the mage girl and had to convince the world that he could be a hero through his deeds. TBH, his team of the knight lady and horse guy were alot less interesting than the 4 party members
In this case it seems to be canceled rather than axed, meaning there was probably some issues with the author.God, why? Why are these worthless HACKS allowed to work as editors? There's no way this manga deserved the axe. A series is not finished until it's actually finished. Yet another good manga down the "unsatisfying ending" drain for absolutely no reason.
I have no idea if this is the case or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was cancelled because of disagreements between the original author and the mangaka. I read through the entire WN with google translate (it works well enough) because I was interested after reading the first chapter of the manga, and I think this is unironically the worst and most unfaithful manga adaptation of a WN/LN I've ever seen.In this case it seems to be canceled rather than axed, meaning there was probably some issues with the author.
Also you need to understand that most of the series that are axed are usually just not properly popular with the people buying the magazine.
On the other hand the reason a lot of junk can get through is because right now a lot of it is being mass produced for apps and because of that those apps don't care about quality... They just want to push out slop....
Only magazines for quality actually ax series....
