I'm not sure specifically as it's not a widely known mainstream novel title. It could potentially be about a character who is being advised not to take on heroic or self - sacrificial roles.
The theme could be about the perils of overconfidence and the importance of humility. It might explore how trying to be a hero without the right skills or mindset can lead to trouble.
I have no information indicating who the author of this 'don't be no hero novel' is. It could be an indie author or a relatively unknown writer.
Perhaps a central theme is the redefinition of heroism. The novel may show that being a hero doesn't mean conforming to the typical superhero archetype. It could explore how the character struggles with society's expectations of what a hero should be like. The character might face situations where being a 'hero' in the traditional sense would actually be the wrong choice, and through these experiences, they come to understand a more nuanced and real form of heroism that is not just about capes and superpowers but about making the right choices for the right reasons.
The main themes may include the value of ordinary life. In this novel, since the character doesn't strive to be a hero, it might be highlighting the significance and beauty of an ordinary existence. Also, there could be a theme of fear or reluctance towards responsibility. Heroes are often associated with great responsibilities, and the character's stance could be about avoiding such heavy burdens.
The protagonist is obviously a very important character as the whole story seems to revolve around their decision of not wanting to be a hero. There may also be a mentor - like figure who tries to persuade the protagonist to embrace the heroic role.
Perhaps it's a former hero who has become disillusioned with the hero - concept. They've seen the dark side of being a hero, like the destruction and loss that often come with it, and now they are trying to avoid that role again. So they're constantly fighting the urge to be a hero as society defines it.
One motivation could be fear. Shigeoka might be afraid of the physical harm that could come with being a hero. He doesn't want to put his life on the line every day.
Perhaps in this fanfic, Shigeoka has seen the hardships that come with being a hero. He doesn't want the responsibility, the danger, or the constant public scrutiny. So, he decides to live a quiet life in a small town, away from all the hero - related chaos. He might find a job at a local store and make a small group of genuine friends there.
The novel Don't Fall in Love with Me told the romantic story of the campus belle Yue Qianling secretly falling in love with the top student, Gu Xun. Yue Qianling had been secretly in love with Gu Xun for many years, but Gu Xun had no interest in her and had a crush on his gaming friend. It was only when Yue Qianling was about to confess her love to Gu Xun that he realized that the person he had a crush on was Yue Qianling. This novel used the two-way secret love in their youth as the theme, depicting the emotional entanglement between Yue Qianling and Gu Xun and their journey to pursue love.
I'm not sure exactly as I haven't read it in detail. But it might be a story where the act of not pressing a button has some sort of significance, like it could lead to different consequences if pressed or not.
