I Really Don't Want to be a Saint
Imagine being chosen by the gods themselves, gifted with holy powers that could heal the world, and worshipped by thousands of devoted followers. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, for the protagonist of I Really Don't Want to be a Saint, it is an absolute nightmare. While every other aspiring hero in the kingdom is fighting for even a scrap of divine favor, our main character is doing everything humanly possible to dodge the spotlight.
Whether it is faking incompetence, running from the church, or just trying to live a quiet life, fate just refuses to let go. Every time they try to lay low, they end up accidentally performing a miracle that only cements their status as the chosen one. This series takes the classic trope of the holy hero and flips it on its head with sharp humor, unexpected plot twists, and a lead character who is fundamentally relatable in their desire to just be left alone. If you are tired of the same old chosen one narratives and want a story where the strongest character is also the one trying the hardest to quit their job, then buckle up. You are in for a hilarious and high-stakes journey where being holy is the ultimate curse.
