The False Hero, Volume 1

By: Michael Plymel

Narrated by: Mason Born

Disillusioned businessman, John Lawrence Locke, finds himself summoned as a hero to another world, filled with monsters and magic! With his body reverted to the age of 15, the 33-year-old's mind is filled with the possibility of battles and adventures, like the ones in his favorite video games.

Unfortunately for him, life isn't always so convenient. Betrayed by the very people who summoned him, he's condemned as the False Hero and forced to flee for his life. Alone in an unfamiliar world and hunted by all of humanity, he takes on the alias of Lutz and uses his gaming knowledge to quickly adapt to the world's strangely game-like mechanics.

Pretty good

I like the ending and hope the next book goes in that direction. The basic premise behind it seems to be like rise of the shield hero, but I think it is different enough that it could be really good.

I like this story!

Not a huge fan of the narrator but the story more then makes up it. Looking forward to the next!

simple yet finely executed

for what amount to just an other isekai story this one show it hand as heavely inspired by sheild hero. However for what it is it very well executed with its own spin on the tried and true formula.

Stumbles

I quite enjoyed this.
Narrator does a good job for the most part tho it's almost like he is one breath away from stumbling lines most of the way through this and the following books.

Good story can’t wait for more

Now I’ll say the beginning dragged on a bit for me but once it kicks into gear I couldn’t stop can’t for more
