What is weird is the Hero's relative power levels. Right now it's as if they're a strong warrior, but not some OP literal hero. Naofumi had no choice by to obey the guards. On the other hand, my Skyrim character just massacred the Imperial city guards for being dicks towards me.

Like, on one hand good on the country for summoning the heroes so that they can level up before waves get nasty, but the first episode made it sound as if the country got absolutely nailed by the first wave.
