The False Hero #1
The False Hero, Volume 1
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 fifteen, the thirty-three-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.

It's not easy to find time to write with a 9-5, but I've wanted to get The False Hero out of my head and onto paper for a long time. My goal isn't anything lofty, like quitting my job to become a full-time author. No, I'll be happy to break even on my investment (full color illustrations are not cheap!). Even if nobody reads my books, I'll keep writing. Why, you may be asking? Well, simple--because I want to read them!
I hope those of you who've been enjoying the series will stick with me as I continue down this fun and adventurous journey.

This is an isekai (portal fantasy) that's a bit more traditional than others I've read. By which I mean the main character is from our world and sucked into a much more fantasy oriented one with warriors and mages battling monsters. It's also LitRPG, but only Lawrence (who doesn't like going by John) is the only one who can get a status screen and see "levels" and "skill points". He is part of a deliberate summons by a kingdom under assault by the forces of (capital "C") Chaos. And he's very much the odd-man-out as the other three are clearly powerfully heroic whereas he comes through as nothing but a kid (while thirty-three in our world, his status reveals him to be fifteen in his new incarnation).
And that obvious difference finds him denounced at the start as a "False Hero" and thrown in prison. And then tortured, for fun, for weeks and weeks before he manages an escape. In consequence of his escape, he gets a level-up message and twigs to the underlying system of the world around him. Well, it turns out that our Lawrence was a hugeloser, um, gamer in our world who breaks MMOs for fun with his friends. Well, you can guess what he goes on to do when presented an interactive MMO of his own to play with. That's right, he gets right on min-maxing his character and looking for allies.
After power-levelling in the wilderness a bit, and killing a brutal baron and taking his money, he edits his status to give himself his regular game name of "Lutz" and hits town to get some decent gear. While there, he finds a slave auction going on and a very scared, angry elf girl on the block. Well, what are newly stolen riches for except to thwart the very eager (and creepy) bidder after the elf girl? Which is how he finds himself with his first party member.
Which is way more summary than I usually do in reviews, but I want to convey how this is at once LitRPG and yet has an unusual storyline with Lutz careening from one emergency to another, all while applying hard-won gamer logic to a hardcore gamer mechanic world. And how he ends up being extremely heroic because his innate kindness keeps getting thrust into intolerable injustices he just can't ignore. That first response of prison and torture breaks him from any desire to enact the hero the country supposedly "needs". So instead, he wanders the country for explicitly selfish reasons ending up doing great good because his inner kindness keeps getting the better of him.
It was an interesting dynamic and very well actualized by the author, I think. It's amazing that this is his first novel, though he admits to having revised this story "heavily" after getting some of the other stories in the series out. All I know is that I was engaged and pulled through to the end and had a very enjoyable time.
I'm not sure why I'm hesitating on five stars for this. I was incredibly engaged. Some of the story elements give me pause, like the (vaguely referenced, not actually described) torture. Or the youth of the protagonist and his not-really slave. But they didn't detract from my engagement at all, really. So I'm going to go with the five stars, but noting that I'm unsure if it deserves them, really.
A note about Genre: This was referred to somewhere as a "light novel". Which is a new thing for me. I dug into it and it seems to come from Japanese authors deliberately targeting a older-than-teen audience with stories that nevertheless have YA attributes like simpler stories and an action emphasis. They also often have internal manga-like illustrations inserted here-and-there in the text (like this story does) and sometimes derive, and differentiate, from web novels. On the one hand, I can see that with this story. A little. On the other hand, there isn't really anything "light" about this book, so I was initially confused by that designation.
A note about Chaste: Lutz is physically fifteen and is often mistaken for a kid, despite his obvious power once he gets going. And Laya, while older, is still barely adolescent due to being an elf. So there's nothing romantic going on. So while this is tagged as "harem" I'm sensing a platonic manifestation that I'm going to find very interesting should it manifest. At any rate, there's no kissing, let alone anything sexy in this story. So I consider it very chaste.

A badly written ripoff of shield hero
This is a blatant copy of a well known anime. It also read like it was written by a middle schooler trying to be edgy. Just...no

I too have read Rising of the Shield Hero...
It's beat for beat the same fucking thing, here are the only major differences:
- No false rape accusation in this version, a prophecy is used instead (a good call honestly). Unfortunately this leads to a torture montage instead to make the protagonist just as pissed off at the kingdom.
- Instead of having a Shield and the other heroes having offensive weapons the protag gets Litrpg/Gamer powers (the ability to level up/grind) that he doesn't find out about until later and the other heroes are accomplished warriors/mages before being summoned.
- The CHILD SLAVE that the protagonist buys is an elf girl instead of a tanuki girl. It's way worse/less justified here because unlike Shield Hero the protagonist isn't locked into a support class and actually has the ability to do damage himself and is levelling just fine on his own.
This story even copies the somewhat nonsensical plot point from Shield Hero of a world with both open slavery/slave auctions and where the protagonist is looked down upon by people around them for owning a slave.
This story does seem to misunderstand or intentionally reject part of the message of the original populist message of the Shield Hero series by having the common people turn against the protagonist who just saved them as soon as they learn his identity. Shield Hero used that as an opportunity to show contrast between the motivations and scheming of the corrupt nobility and the honesty of the common folk just trying to get by. False Hero just uses it as an excuse for an end-of-Zuko-Alone moment. However without the context of Zuko Alone (the war) all it really does is double down on the "this is a crapsack world and no one should care about saving it" message.
Still pretty anti-organized religion though, but I'm unsure if that's going anywhere other than as a framing device for putting the protagonist at odds with the monarchy.
I don't mean to flame or anything but I have honestly I've read AU fanfics that were more original/diverged more than this.
DNF at 66% of the way through/ Chapter 9
If you want to write fanfiction just write fanfiction my dude. I would read this as a fanfic (before growing tired of the edge) but I'm ticked off to be sold it as an original story.

This is an honest review for a free copy of the audiobook. 3.85/5
This story follows the isekai trope and strongly reminds me of the shield hero and the betrayal of his summoning to another world. However, in this case, he is referred to as the ‘False’ hero. He goes through torture which serves to justify his anger, and of course the other three heroes are scum. He hates being weak so goes on his journey to level up and he picks up an elf companion(slave). He has to fight against the common peoples’ misconceptions of the ‘False’ hero title and he also struggles with schemes from the noble faction.
I would have given this a solid 4/5, however it was abit too predictable for me. I still enjoyed the story and although it took some time to get used to the voice, the narrative performance from Mason Born was entertaining. I would recommend if you are bored and looking for a quick read to pass the time.

A great effort on a first book. My overall experience rates a 4, not because of any glaring deficiencies, but it simply lacked the je ne sais quoi that would have made it great for me. If the premise appeals to you it should be a good read. I will certainly give book 2 a try.

Interesting story
Very good take on the RPG genre. Good MC that is not immediately OP. Enjoyed the MC progression both character growth and stat growth.

Similar in some ways but overall different
I had read reviews about this story before I read it.
A few people were comparing it to rising of The Shield hero but that would be the same as saying that Honda is the same as a Chevrolet because They're both vehicles so therefore since they both have wheels they're the same.
The story has a very loose similarity to shield hero, in the fact that it's an isekai, and he's betrayed, but that's really it. It is definitely a different story and a good story. I think anyone who reads this with an open mind will find that it stands on its own and doesn't rely on being the same or copying from another book.
As you can see based on reviews, most people enjoy it and I don't think you will be disappointed if you choose to read this as well. A good isekai without being too light novel-esque. More reality and realistic responses are present in this book.

Okay I guess
While the book is a bit reminiscent of The Shield Hero, I suspect that it will diverge more from that storyline into its own thing than in the second book. And while I don't like to critique an authors writing skills since I myself have never written a book, this one could have used some work. I felt like there were a couple of missed opportunities to make the storyline and plot better, the litrpg aspect of it didn't feel very satisfying - especially because the "interface" was not shown, and the overall writing could use some improvement. Either way it was still an enjoyable read, hope the author continues his work, even if as a hobby.

A Good Homage
If you are aware of Arufreta, Failure Frame, Shield Hero etc. then you will be familiar with the setup and follow through here. Even so, (and apart from some odd decisions and shortcomings) it’s told well and includes some good illustration work to back up some of the most poignant events. A good read overall.

Written by and for edgy children who does not understand slavery or why it's bad. No dude, it doesn't help that you're a "good" owner. A slaver is a slaver is a slaver is a moral reprobate.

This series is too good, Way too good. Here's how we're gonna review this it's gonna be 1st book through 3rd book then the conclusion.
1st book. this one has to be the best of them all. The build up to the second. The way the false hero is built it was like he was embracing the false hero of course he was going to from the very start but it was nice to see it build up. The 1st book also had the most character progression out of all the books, the 1st book was like him really being isekaied into a new world and gaining strength at a really fast rate, that's why it's safe to say this book is fast paced. I couldn't say the the Mc had depth in this first book tho, especially with the amateur narrator doing this book, The narrator wasn't really good at all the thing I did like about him tho is the emotions he puts into his words. What I mean by him being amateur or bad is he can't change his voice most of his voices sound very alike and it's hard to tell them apart unless your listening very hard or you have them recognized to the Tee.
2nd Book. This one has to be the 2nd best out of all three. in this book he expanded his power and got more people into his group while also making them stronger. Really this book just is filler for him to get stronger essentially filling out what book 1 couldn't do. The narrator did get better in this one but not so much. But this book even tho I think it was filler from the actual goal was really good.
3rd book. This one has to be the worst out of all of the 3 books. Especially the end. The start and middle of this book are actually really good but the end is lacking. This 3rd book seemed really rushed with him getting separated from his group and helping the princess. But that all said this book has to have the most world building.
Pros. I really like this series. The fighting is unique and the way he uses his knowledge from the other world to beat his opponents is awesome. he's overpowered compared to most of his enemy's which is kinda of a double edged sword. The "harem" he has is also kinda nice, the characters are likable and the Mc actually have a backbone. he doesn't just let people walk all over him.
Cons. I don't like how he tells the princess all his secrets for no reason whatsoever. it usually happens in most series the Mc tells the side character all of his secrets and the side character is still a mystery so the Mc doesn't ask because he's "scared" to make her mad. it just doesn't make sense to me. The lack of strength in the last 2 books are a problem as well. he barely gains any levels in these last 2 books. Also what i said about the double edged sword. it's about how weak everyone is the Mc doesn't really face any hardship throughout the series. some parts are also kinda corny with the narrator but you laugh at them.
Conclusion. This series is kinda of a must buy. it reminds me of the shield hero and virgils pact. With how the Mc is are transported to another world and the other heroes don't like him. So yea if you like Isekais you wanna get this, and we audible fans know it's hard to come buy light novels.

Excellent. A lot of fun.
Awesome 1st book of the series I look forward to more. A lot of scummy human drama floating to the surface here much like a sewer. Lutz Our hero is summoned to the world then betrayed.Yet by the end he shows what the true meaning of being a hero. It's not about yourself it's about those you save.I expect a lot more fun dealing with The scummy underside of human ambition and greed in there Rest of the series.

Better than I expected.
This is turned out to be quite a bit better than I expected I have found that Western writers have done a somewhat poor job in this genre. It is not that Western writer’s stories are so bad, it’s just I have found it difficult for them to captures the true essence of this genre. This one comes the closest that I have read so far.

Excellent story
This is an excellent story. It starts off so rough that it makes you wonder what the heck. Then, suddenly comes a twist that fits, and everything takes off! Very well done, wish that book two was out already.

So normally I rate rip-offs quite low but . . .
This is a good accounting of Shield Hero. While it copies the source material far to much, it is still good. I think the author should take this starter book and run with it. Make it your own.

Interesting book
Overall I enjoyed this book even though there were some strong parallels to a certain anime series. The one thing I did appreciate was how much struggle this character endured and overcame.

Enjoyable
This was an enjoyable book. I liked that the protagonists really experiences turned him dark but he struggles not to let that darkness control him. I thought it was a good mix of anime and more western storys. Excited for book 2.

Spendid!!
The author did a great job with suspended action revolving around this Herd and how he solves people problems by being bad and good? Until book 2 brings him down to earth....

Aside from some torture and betrayal, I liked the book. Weak to strong. Naive to immature. Hope he continues to grow in book 2.

Love It
I like the OP underdog feel of this book. I can sense the inspiration from Rise Of The Shield Hero. I like the story progression. Hope it lasts a long time.

This book draws a lot of similarities to the new anime. The Rising if the Shield Hero.
The main character is vilified and wanted dead but he forges his own path.

Entertaining tale
Fun story that pulls you on the adventure with our protagonist. Flowed great and was a lot of fun. Reminds me of a certain anime about a hero that has a shield.

Amazing
Really well written. Very similar to the shield hero, but unique in good places.
I wish it was a little longer
