I feel completely empty and sad. I just finished volume 8 of the novel and I feel like I have no purpose in life! 😭😭😭

I wonder how many millennia I'll have to wait for the next volume? Or worse, if there's even a release date. I'm stuck with the anime and no novel. How awful.

What do I do?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Does anyone know for sure how many more volumes the novel will have? Is it close to ending or is there still a long way to go? Has the author spoken about it? And is there a release date for volume 9?

I was reading volume 6 of the novel, and I came across a scene that I found very funny. Basically, Venetim, Tsav, and Patausche are in the middle of the battlefield, and Patausche ends up making a joke that confuses them both with her good humor, since Xylo is with Frenci—I personally don't like Frenci at all—and this leads to a misunderstanding on Patausche's part because she thinks Venetim is referring to Xylo's feelings for her. Venetim is focused on one thing and she on another, resulting in a funny scene where, without even realizing it, Patausche ends up admitting her feelings for Xylo. In the end, she ends up confessing her feelings to Venetim and Tsav. I found that moment very funny, but at the same time I felt sorry for her because she misinterpreted everything, concluding that Xylo has feelings for her. Personally, I think he must have it, or be starting to have it, but he is... Xylo, and we know it won't be easy for him to admit. What do you think? Please, no spoilers for the next volumes.

Does anyone have the light novel "Sentenced to Be a Hero" volumes 7 and 8 in English, Chinese, or any decent translation? The version I have keeps changing all the character names, so I can’t understand who is who because the translation is really bad. If anyone has it, please send it to me and I’ll share the link.

I know asking he people here, who are probably some of the biggest fans, might be a bit silly, but im just looking for some honest advice.

Is the anime a powerfantasy? Doesnt seem like it, but will it turn towards this, where the MC could just kill whoever he pleases?

Is the series gonna go towards a predictable overthrow the evil church/government plotpoint? Some do this well, but I fear this will end as way to become a revenge fantasy.

How isekai-esq is it? I know its not an isekai technically, but is it like an isekai? Im talking with a party system, levels, classes and the sort.

How dark is it really? It gets advertised as a dark fantasy, but so was gachiakuta for example and there nothing bad ever happened post first episode. Do characters like make bad decisions? Does the villain sometimes get their way?

Do named characters (non antagonists) actually die? And I dont mean like two self sacrifices and some mentor, I mean actually a bunch of minor or major characters you can care about die. CSM and JJK kinda spoiled me on that spice.

I know these all things you can and cant care about and I dont need them ALL to be true, but I just want to get a feeling before getting invested. Everyone has different tastes and its obviously very successful, but I have a big backlog and wanted to ask instead of not giving it a chance.

I just finished the anime and im confused between the two words. Can they be used interchangeably? At first i thought demon blight meant like the plague where they turn living beings into faeries. But >!rhyno introduced himself as a demon blight and some other demons were introduced as demon blight aswell. !<but spriggan was introduced as a demon king. I watched it on netflix so there might be translation issues.

Besides their Knights they seems to be similiar to that of a children who raised to be quite and just do as to what there were told, weirdly enough senerva explicitly saves and wants to advocate to help those in need outside of their missions so are the goddess different to her in terms of thinking to be honest the personality difference is so far others seems like a robot and she herself felt like human but only her and teoritta why is it though?
