There were some novels that were similar to the hero's revenge after being betrayed. Among them were " The Revenge of the Betrayed "," The Revenge of the Brave ", and " The Strongest Brave Who Desires Revenge, Invincible with the Power of Darkness ". These novels all involved the plot of the hero's revenge after being betrayed. However, due to the limited search results provided, there might be other similar novels that were not mentioned.
Character development. A betrayed hero often has to change and grow. They might start out trusting and naive, like Frodo in 'The Lord of the Rings' who was betrayed by Gollum. His journey from a somewhat innocent hobbit to a more world - weary hero makes the story captivating as we see him adapt to the betrayals around him. This evolution of the character keeps readers hooked.
One example could be 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. In this novel, Edmond Dantes is a hero who is betrayed by his so - called friends and thrown into prison unjustly. He then uses his intelligence and willpower to seek revenge and reclaim his life.
Isolation is also a common theme. When betrayed, the hero is often cast out and has to face things alone. They may lose friends or allies. In 'The Rising of the Shield Hero', the hero is isolated from the start due to the false accusations against him. And self - discovery is another theme. Through the process of dealing with the betrayal, the hero discovers more about their true self, their values and what they are really capable of.
I'm not sure if there are a lot of light novels specifically titled 'Betrayed Hero', but 'Overlord' has elements of a hero - like figure who is kind of betrayed by the world he once knew as he embarks on his new path in a different world. The protagonist, Momonga, was once a normal player in a game but then finds himself in a new situation where his old 'allies' are no longer what he thought.
Definitely! 'Bok no Hero' manga has gained a significant following due to its engaging plot and well-developed characters. It also has some amazing art that adds to its appeal.
