Synopsis

Twenty-year-old otaku Naofumi Iwatani is mysteriously transported to the otherworldly kingdom of Melromarc. Appearing before the King, Naofumi and three other summoned individuals learn that they are each one of the Four Cardinal Heroes who are tasked with defeating the malicious "Waves of Catastrophe."

However, Naofumi is given only a measly shield and dubbed the "Shield Hero," the weakest of the Four Cardinal Heroes. Owing to his lack of power, none of the kingdom's mercenaries wish to aid him, except for the country's beautiful princess, Malty Melromarc. But Naofumi soon awakens the next day to find himself robbed of all his possessions and falsely accused of rape by Malty.

Due to his status as a Cardinal Hero, Naofumi is not executed, but instead, his erroneous crimes are made public. Struggling to find hospitality, Naofumi buys a demi-human slave girl named Raphtalia to aid his endeavors, and embarks on a perilous journey to deliver retribution to those who ruined him, learning the secrets of this new world along the way.

I love the construction of the story, both its opening and its ending fascinates me to listen to them and I do not jump to see the chapter or when it ends.

His characters are close to a little closer to what is the reality of a medieval world like that and the political and religious tensions that it has

Preliminary (42/? eps)
Idk if there's any part considered spoiler in my text but if so, sorry.

This manga is great....then you finish the first arc. The story start with the revenge plot, where the MC is wrongfully accused and then we follow him on his tragic situation. The thing is, when you're done reading this arc, the rest of story becomes incredibly bland. Except naofumi and his gang, every other character have just no effort put into them whatsoever, more specifically the three other isekai guys. You would think that after the first act, they would have grown or changed or something would have made them more interesting, ...

Waste of time...
Besides starting as your generic edgy isekai manga the characters are just white and black, never gray.
MC will be the " good guy " who had to endure injustice. Meanwhile all the other characters will be jerks. They won't ever have any single redeeming quality.
Okay so let me explain a little bit further. Our MC is transferred into this stupid world with RPG elements (because otherwise how would you ride on isekai wave right?) along with 3 other people as heroes. I said heroes but only MC would be called hero. The other 3 are just useless piece of shi-
