Looks like I’ll be dropping Utsuro naru Regalia with this second entry. I’ve had my fill of naïve bleeding heart ‘heroes of justice’ who can’t understand the consequences of their actions… and certainly don’t want to read about one as the main heroine.
Nageki no Bourei wa Intai shitai ~Saijaku Hunter ni Yoru Saikyou Party Ikuseijutsu~ is a series in the same vein as Kage no Jitsuryokusha, with key differences being that the protagonist is relatively weak instead of overpowered and highly values his party members and clanmates instead of constantly dismissing them. My only complaint so far is regarding the rather frequent “I want to barf” statements, which thankfully fall off a bit in the second novel.
