Nah, Its all about what dev write or not the story, you forgot that MC could and propably have stronger ally than any of those HERO fuckers.
His monster grandmother, Mother sliblings, Smoll Ella and propably soon Big Ella, His friends, Valravn and few more.
Its not like he Is bound to the HERO Its all just about how dev writte the story and I have already enough of months boring fuckers of HERO, I dont even like anyone from them asaide from maybe 3-4 characters.
The story itself was way more fun and cool when the action take place In school.
So yeah there Is a ton of possibility for now to mc break with HERO.
All I am saying Is that we already seen TO MUCH of the hero, I want see other perspective, things, monsters, religions or whatever.
Hell not even one of our companion, even care about the HERO as well I dont see the problem.
