>almost dropped this the other day mainly because the elf pope scene was out of place and made no sense and upset me(she takes him to be baptized and takes him to some secret grove and puts lewd outfit on and says she is glad he's back and kisses him, and then he acts like nothing happened on the next page, and he doesn't remember who he is until they leave there so it's weird and serves no purpose than fanservice I guess and to show she knows who he is and then to have her ask her god why he's back and complain about god "still not answering", very peculiar)
>now Liz is saying "we're outnumbered? That sucks, nevermind Hiro just singlehandedly defeated thousands" and he's making internal monologue humble noises about being a nobody and nobody will believe him if he reveals who he really is and offers a strategy
Very peculiar.

>start another series
>weird unexplained scene where he fucks the elf pope
>MC lies to heroine to maintain detached from the setting
>painfully obvious he'll be going back to Japan in the end
aaaand dropped

Unexpectedly summoned to the world of Aletia from modern-day Japan, Hiro Oguro soon discovers this isn’t his first visit. As the legendary Hero King Mars, he once ruled battlefields, conquered nations, and founded the continent-spanning Grantzian Empire before giving up all memories of his hard-won glory to return home to his old life. Now he’s back, a thousand years after he left, and his legacy is in peril. The Grantzian Empire creaks under a warmonger’s rule while ambitious royals squabble for power and foreign nations sharpen their swords. After a chance encounter with Princess Elizabeth von Grantz draws him into a cutthroat struggle for imperial succession, Hiro must don the mantle of the War God once more. Can he live up to his own legend now that Aletia needs him again?
