Ok so I like the ML and the direction the story is going. And honestly unlike some of commenters who doesn't like that first hero they saw wasn't the main protagonist, I'm happy he isn't. His approach is just explosive and it has no sort of direction, all he does is create a continuous and endless cycle. He makes it seem like he's the only one suffering like if some people don't already have their own issues that torment them. To me he seems like some angsty emo teenager that's going through some tantrum. Even some of the other heroes that are working together with him had better reasons. Maybe if he had a shitty past like tomura shigaraki from my hero academia then I would've been more sympathetic.
Point is I dislike the first hero that was introduced. And I'm actually glad that story has taken the approach to introduce another hero (the ml) who fights the first hero. The ml can't even be classified as a "justice" kind of hero himself because he's not fighting for "humanity" or "hope". All he wants is revenge so he can be considered as a villain protagonist himself.
I do understand why the heroes became the villain and yes a villain protagonist like the first hero can be great, if done correctly. I don't hate villain protagonists at all in fact, I prefer a villain protagonist like "overlord" who seeks revenge for those who did him or his people wrong. His moves were calculated and wise, which is impressive. Villain protagonists like light yagami from death note, who makes everything interesting. He justifies his philosophy while committing mass murder and persuades the entire audience into believing his reasonings. Heck even redo of healer was somehow satisfying seeing him slowly torture those who did him wrong. Villain protagonists like that is what I prefer to see. But damn yall wanted the first hero as a villain protagonist. He's killing everyone in the entire world causing mass murder and suffering just because his life was unfair. Nah I personally don't rock with that. If you got vengeance take it out on people who deserves it, those who caused you suffering not those who are innocent, all you are doing is becoming the same person you hate, hurting people who didn't deserve it.
Besides that the art is 10/10, action scenes amazing. But personally is just a whole lot of blood shed and tragedy. If you can't handle it then don't read it
