Kill the Hero is a great action fantasy alternative to Solo Leveling or other manga/manhwa/manhuas similar to it.

Story 9/10
The story leads you through a lot of treacherous paths so it is pretty interesting.

Art 7/10
The art is not the best, but it is pleasant and easy to look at.

Character 8/10
Personally, I like how the characters are portrayed and enjoy the wicked life of the main character.
...
Enjoyment 10/10
When first starting this manhwa, I wasn't very convinced because the art looked a little awkward but I ended up enjoying it anyway. It may get a little confusing at times due to the switches of characters but you should be able to understand it.

Overall 9/10

A revenge fantasy with glimmers of an intriguing narrative, but lack of focus undercuts its potential.

Story: 4/10
The betrayed player sent back in time premise shows promise and offers some interesting lore reveals. However, abrupt time skips and pacing issues cause the narrative to feel disjointed at times. The ending cuts off abruptly with no resolution.

Art: 7/10
The polished, clean art style serves the story adequately. Action flows smoothly when present. Character designs are somewhat generic but serviceable.

Characters: 3/10
The protagonist is an average power fantasy vessel, but his ruthless pursuit of revenge has its appeal. Supporting characters are one-note. Antagonists' motivations remain unclear.
...
Enjoyment: 5/10
Despite issues with narrative flow and weak characterization, I still found the revenge-driven plot moderately entertaining. The story showed sparks of potential.

In summary, Kill the Hero is a deeply flawed but sporadically entertaining revenge fantasy. Buried under messy plotting are glimmers of an intriguing narrative. It may appeal to power fantasy fans willing to overlook its issues.

Kill the Hero is the story of Kim-Woojin, who gets betrayed and killed by his guild master Sejun Lee, the supposed Hero. Woojin then regresses and has a new goal to kill his former friend/boss Sejun Lee. The story at first sounds kinda of interesting. I am a huge sucker for the OP Main Character/Revenge Plotline. Usually, these kinds of stories are meant to appeal to the monkey side of your brain and just be pure entertainment; unfortunately, Kill the Hero does not do that. The setting and characters are boring. The manhwa doesn't do anything interesting and the whole story is extremely forgettable. ... With this style of Manhwa, I expected there to be lots of fun/visually impressive action with beautiful panels and amazing choreography kind of like the stuff in Solo Leveling or Doom Breaker. There unfortunately was none of that.

Story 3/10
The story is honestly really bad. It starts off really boring and then towards the latter half of the Manhwa, the story feels like it is rushing to reach the end. The ending was horrible.

Art 5/10
The art in the Manhwa is not bad just average. There is nothing super impressive or amazing that just makes your eyes pop out. Although I do have to give props to the fact that this Manhwa is colored.

Characters: 3/10
The characters aren't really anything crazy. The Antagonist of this story Sejun-Lee was severely underused. We barely see him do anything during the Manhwa. The Main Character is a self-insert character kind of like Kirito. He doesn't really have much going on he's a completely blank slate. The Supporting Characters are super forgettable. They all had one quirk and that was it.

Enjoyment: 2/10
I did not enjoy reading this Manhwa at all. I was bored throughout the entire time reading this. And there were many times that I just wanted to drop this and move on. I wasn't invested at all in anything that was going on and I remember just wanting the Manhwa to end.

Overall Kill the Hero was a huge chore for me to get through. I would suggest you guys not to read. I don't think there is anybody who could possibly enjoy this one. There is way better Manhwa out there to consume and this one is nothing but a waste of time.
