The Hero Disciple Is Back

I love it tbh. The MC acts as a therapist/guidance councilor for people who loses their way or stumbles upon him. He is self aware that he really shouldn’t be getting these supernatural encounters but eventually tells himself “oh well, might as well have fun”. Some arcs are touching especially the second to the latest arc about the Wandering Saintess.

Honestly, just ignore the guys saying this is just a cookie cutter “MC raises OP disciple cliche” trope since they probably just read a few chapters of this. The plot is indeed like that but it doesn’t revolve around MC being surrounded by shitty harem girls and his disciple being jealous (really it doesn’t). No jealousy drama, and no harem. MC sacrificed his heart (literally his aura heart) to help his student just cause he doesn’t want the child to suffer like him, unaware that the heroine is a regressor who had regressed 10000+ times and had experienced being taught by different kinds of people but still fails to kill the demon king. Shes on the verge of giving up because she is so tired and no one even bothered to lend her a shoulder, even hindering her or showing her that the world doesn’t deserve to be saved.

The review about this being MC wanting to enjoy his peaceful life is correct but at the same time really just scratches the surface. Unlike the other “Retired MC wants to enjoy his laidback life”, the MC (Jade) is fully aware of every responsibilities and consequences of his action and current position. As the person who had taught the heroine Serah, he knows that he might be assassinated or kidnapped then hostaged to be used as a bargaining chip against the hero so he went to the most recluse place to stay in for retirement then filled it with traps. And even then hes not just “bing chilling”. Hes actively training and becoming stronger despite being in retirement.

He is not a dense moron like the other retired plot MCs who is unaware the entire time that they could had been killed if not for plot armor or their student helping them. He actively prevents such events from happening. Though latest chapter was unavoidable.

The obsessive tag is honestly softcore. The Heroine is obsessed but in a way that she only wants to protect him. No “tie him up in a basement” bullshit (at least not yet).

Overall, I’ll give it an 8.5/10 – 9/10 so far. A gem in this site full of shitty novels.

Same vein as your popular ln/manga tropes

A retired [insert whatever title you want] wants to live a laidback life raised an op disciple.

Or any title that sound like that.

Review:

It’s at least better than many genius academy novels. Premise here is that a person with noble soul was born and he is our MC Jade. This was not a god chosen hero but a natural born hero, meaning more purer and great. Just like heroes in our myths the world imposed many trials for him, his family got killed, his reputation tarnished, betrayed and many more but he still survived and evolved to greater karma, his soul became way powerful.

Now world laid out another trial for him who retired, raising a regressed hero. She who was broken was fixed with his soul and in this trial he even got the fragment of power of gods, a power to do the impossible as even after giving up his power he was able to grow again.

Hero part is simple. She is a regressor and will move like a seasoned regressor.

Main part is the story of Jade. He is a special being because he cleared most trials given by the world and the story is about the last of his trials before be become a new god or something similar for the world without gods.

You may like the Novel if you can digest many long talks and little action. Most of the scenes here are people coming to him to seek his guidance and him learning new things by facing his trials and growing up even more.
