In a world teetering on the brink of destruction, the novice goddess Ristarte summons Seiya Ryuuguuin, a Hero whose extraordinary stats make him nearly invincible.

Book Hero thinking about your next read

Lista, a Goddess from the God's realm, has a huge task to accomplish. She must save the world Geabrande (with a S-rank difficulty salvation) from evil threats. To perform this task, she summons a hero from Planet Earth called Ryuguuin Seiya. This hero is exceptional and fully capable, but has one major problem: he is unbelievably cautious.

There's no such thing as too much preparation! The fate of the S-ranked world Gaeabrande rests with the novice goddess Ristarte. As she thumbs through the piles of duller-than-dull resumes for potential Heroes to summon, she hits the jackpot with Seiya Ryuuguuin, whose stats are so high for a level-1 Hero that he's practically cheating! (He's also pretty easy on the eyes.)

But there's a catch. Seiya is cautious to a fault. If he goes to a weapons and armour shop, he asks for three sets of armour: one to wear, a spare, and a spare for the spare. Just in case. He always buys ridiculous amounts of supplies, trains like he's racing to max level, and won't hesitate to use his strongest skills even on a simple slime.

With a Hero like Seiya on the job, which will run out firstβ€”the Demon Lord's forces or Ristarte's sanity...? The tale of the overpowered yet overly cautious Hero and the goddess who can't decide if she wants to kiss him or smack him begins!

The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious, Vol. 1 (light novel) by Light Tuchihi and Saori Toyota is a captivating mix of humour and adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
