    Name: The spear user that couldnt become the hero <protagonist>

    Raw Link: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n9682dd/

    Why It Should Get Picked Up: its interesting how there are conspiracy behind the usual harem set up. Though the POV isnt from the main hero and the harem protagonist, it gave some explenation why some harem (like the one in infinite stratos) is possible. The battle scene are also quite interesting. The MC is OP enough in spear martial arts to cover up the lack of legendary weapon. Yea, every chosen students got a legendary weapon to wield for their own. Plus, its the no 1 in syosetu on the action genre.

    Description (if you can find one):
    The year 2031. Because of the attack of a mysterious being called CE, humanity have been slowly rolling into destruction.
    This is a story of a hero that saved the world with the brilliance of his holy sword...(not). This is the story of a certain spear user who are in the shadow of the hero, burried deep within the darkness of history. What the conspiracy behind the generic cheat harem hero story actually is.

    This sounds so unsatisfying. If you have to read through the negative pov of the one who wasn't 'chosen' or anything like that, I doubt you can enjoy reading through it. But maybe that's just my opinion, since stories that focus on the envy of the mc to another guy is not my cup of tea

    not really though. The mc actually feels bad for the main hero, because how fake he really is. Besides, he isnt fighting for fame and fortune anyway.

    That sounds interesting.

    So the hero is a faker and the harem is probably running up the guys nerve o.o

    I'd like to read it. Sounds fun. I enjoy reading stories like this that are from a "side characters" POV, rather than what you would expect to be the "main character".
