The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious Volume 1 Review

The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious is off to a strong start. While it doesn’t do much to break out of the mould of isekai series, it does deliver an entertaining read, thanks to its strong comedy. If you’re looking for your next crazy light novel read then this one’s worth your time.
