    Why It Should Get Picked Up: It's a great series with six translated volumes and it only lacks a translator.
    Description:
    Same, yet different worlds. Everything changed when i put the ring on. I’m Haneul Kang and I have become a hero.

    It reminds of One Punch Man, but where a transmigrated man heroically kills villain monsters. The translators apparently had RL issues/responsibilities so they had to stop, but the series really deserves translating.

    BTW, I think the author already completed The Hero. He stopped publishing it as a free serial in April 2015 and went to paid until he completed the story in October the same year. So, I don't know about any hiatus.

    Why?: The novel itself is about a guy who struggles with a sense of duty and his values as an alternate person from another world. He is forced to be a hero and yet strives to deal with his hand currently.

    Description: The guy becomes a hero and tries to save the world. He doesn't know whats really happening or why this happens to him, but he will not run away from his responsibility as the average joe turned hero.
    As the post before me has stated (https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/the-hero-by-yang-seung-hoon.32339/) It does have a feel for one-punch man, but the reason for him to not back down and run away from his duties is to be thanked or even blamed on this world's version of bicycle rider.

    The Description isn't really accurate, the guy suddenly find himself in a parallel world and it seem like he took the place of the him in that world, other then the world being invaded and the hero business, what I loved is the different reality : he find out that he has a girlfriend and that she was with the other him for a long time when in his original world he just has a big crush on her! and it was not easy talking to her when she was all familier with him and he didn't know anything about her (no it dosen't end up in a stereotype way !!).

    The currect him is wayyyyyy different from the him from this world and the story dosen't really stress that much on the struggle to be a hero but on the stuggle to find a new way to live in this completly different world full of familiar stuff...

    Give it a chance, the chapter aren't that long and it's really good (and not cliché !!)

    Ps: The combat and the enemy are really good !
    Ps2: being a "hero" is a profession with regulation ect ect and there is a lot of them
    Ps3: one-punch man ? I don't see it anywhere...

    He actually struggles with his personal relationships. His family, his lover, his friend. Especially his friend in the most recent chapters.
    He adapts to being a hero much better. A lot faster too since he's thrust into it and does pretty well.

    Surprisingly I liked this novel more than I thought I would. Would love for more to be translated.
