nonsense plot

In chapter 1, we learn that the reason why a false hero was named was because if everyone knew that the hero was dead after defeating the demon king, it would have schocked the whole world.
So first, there is no reason to lie, after the demon king death, saying the hero sacrificed himself to protect the world is a common trope, so reason is bullshit.
But even more so, we learn in the same chapter that the identity of the hero was unknown by the world (except companions and king/queen, ...).
In this case, why should you lie and say the hero is someone else when people don't even know the identity of the hero in the first place ? Just say he's alright.
And this is just chapter 1.

Not particularly good

The writing is absolutely awful, the characters are generic enough that you know everything about them after their first line although given the type of story they're going for I could see generic characters not being that bad.

The biggest upside for me is that I absolutely love how the artist draws and poses armor and the style for the armors is exceptional too. Unfortunately there are very few armors past chapter 1.

It seems like they want to go for a "Dragon Quest protag plays Harvest Moon" sort of vibe but most of the pages are taken up by talking about what schemes are happening in the city and constantly obsessing over that instead of enjoying the rural "slow life". This gets even worse after the first volume.

Slow paced, average art style, generic plot, boring MC.

The MC is your typical pushover "I have no enemies" protagonist. Seriously he takes all the backstabbing and just shrugs it off to go farming ffs. And yet somehow all these powerful people appear to help him get revenge for him while he's just vapidly wandering around doing jack shit.

On One Hand... On the Other

So it seems the mangaka has made some changes to the original story that makes more sense, so it shows the mangaka is at least aware of some of the issues with the story. But even still, there are so many issues the story fouls often and heavily regardless, and sometimes it does worse than the novels anyway.

Pacing is inconsistent and blistering, the plot just... plots, and the characters are poorly written.

The villains don't have a reason for being bad, and at least one of them makes no sense whatsoever. I'm not even kidding, I don't know what the villains wanted, or why they became villains. Here's what I do know, based on the information provided by the manga (minor spoilers):

The king and the prince have the same goal even if the story pits them against each other and neither of them know it.

The knight sometimes wants to be a knight, supposedly has a harem, cares about his job and then doesn't, and then says he wants to be king even though he's helping the prince take the throne that will be his in a few years if he just waits.

Noel's childhood friend, the saintess, apparently can't stand not being royalty and living the high life, so she got with the prince, is carrying his baby, and is going to marry him soon (until that all falls apart and she's sent to the nunnery as punishment). But wait, isn't the prince maybe trying to give up the throne? Why would she support that?

Noel cares for no one. He's a boring, emotionally dead, contradictory character... which is par for the course here.

And yeah, that's it.
