The Fake Hero’s Misadventures is a comedic fantasy novel that follows the hilarious and heart-pounding journey of Jaeho, an ordinary man who has been inexplicably chosen as the "Hero of Prophecy" in a world that believes him to be their savior. But there’s one small problem—Jaeho isn’t the real hero. He’s just a regular guy who accidentally found himself in the hero’s shoes. With his newfound fame, overwhelming expectations, and an entire kingdom cheering for his every move, Jaeho must navigate the treacherous path of being a hero without actually knowing how to be one. His lack of skills becomes a running joke, and every victory is achieved more by sheer luck and the quiet intervention of his brilliant (and somewhat overbearing) subordinate, Kaia. As the kingdom celebrates his supposed triumphs, Jaeho must juggle countless misunderstandings, the ever-growing burden of living a lie, and his growing attraction to the beautiful and powerful women who orbit around him—some of whom think he’s the real deal. Meanwhile, Jaeho’s own growing suspicion that the true hero is actually his quiet, capable subordinate only deepens the chaos. Amidst the comedy of errors, political intrigue, and unexpected romance, Jaeho finds himself in over his head. He may not be the hero everyone thinks he is, but with every new misadventure, he begins to wonder: Is it too late to be the hero the kingdom needs, or is it all just one big, hilarious misunderstanding? Filled with witty dialogue, improbable victories, and a cast of lovable, quirky characters, The Fake Hero’s Misadventures is an epic tale of mistaken identity, romance, and what happens when you accidentally become a legend.
