This is one of those but with a more "Western" protagonist. The male lead can fight, is highly intelligent, and exercises daily. Sure, he still has that "my invention wasn't supposed to do exactly that" bumbling, but from an Occidental view, the hero of the story is more hero than zero...Spoilers below... you've been warned:That said, if you have ever read/heard of/tried to stop watching To-Love-Ru, you've seen the Japanese version of this book. This book has some complete opposites... instead of a devil's tail like Lala had, this girl has Angel Wings... and rather being from Deviluke, she's from Angelese. Ok, in both cases, they are the daughter of the ruler of the Galaxy, have a very 'open' view towards walking around the house naked, have 2 younger sisters, invent wacky and uncontrollable inventions that terrorize everyone exposed to them, etc., etc, etc.... The body guards that are sent to fetch the runaway princess so that she can be the prize in a forced marriage competition are extremely similar but not the same... but similar enough that seeing the sword hugging commander walking around in body armor is quite a flashback. To the author's credit, it was much more satisfying to have the hero win through smarts and fighting prowess vs. just getting lucky and getting the commander hit by a train, but this is still very much a fan fiction... One that I was happy to pay for and will re-read. I look forward to seeing if the author stays true to the "harem" story line of the original or diverges (American Kitsune is a modified harem story... the protagonist is loved by many women but only loved one back). What can I say, I like reading stories about overly popular guys getting constantly blocked from love by all the other girls that love him...As far as the rating for this book, I'd put it at a 14+ rating. And so that you know, To-Love-Ru is a solid 18+. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well Written Rewrite of To Love Ru *by A***W on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2017* As many reviewers have pointed out, the similarities with the manga/anime series, "To Love Ru" are unmistakable. At first, I thought this was a "Westernized" rewrite of the popular series. The author tries hard to differentiate his work by offering a vastly different male protagonist (think more competence here) and a different setting (future Mars). So in the end, I'm 50-50 as to whether the author made his series different enough to be considered separately as its own work.What I DO appreciate was the quality of the writing in this book. It had some tightly scripted, well-sequenced action scenes similar to what I would expect from a martial arts novel. Additionally, the author took a lot of time exploring the setting of Mars for a different generation of humanity. Thus, instead of writing a series heavily inspired by a manga series, I would love to see the author try writing an original science fiction space opera novel. I suspect the result will be fantastic.A Most Unlikely Hero is recommended to older teens and up who enjoy To Love Ru. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth a read. *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017* This was an excellent read. I'm frankly not very much into the anime genre, but I liked the first couple books of Mr. Varnell's other series to give this a try.In the end? Worth it. While the characters have a slightly jarring interaction from time to time, the overall effect is of a written cartoon. There were spots that had me wondering what the next portion would entail, and I like being surprised. Thank you for that.(Spoiler)There was a little predictive nature in the naming setup. Having the master of the universe (and potential father-in-law) named Lucifer, a daughter named Gabrielle, and all live in Angellise (apologies for misspellings) didn't exactly resound with originality. However, there is nothing wrong with using those names; just a individual taste idea.Harem ... I actually like how this is up in the air. There's no active push towards or away from it. The protagonist doesn't seem to care, and his significant other is equally ambivalent. No one is attacking each other, and while some are apparently jealous/sad/eager, that just indicates future character development in my opinion. I am looking forward to the next installation of this series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/109057646-a-most-unlikely-hero-vol-1-light-novel](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/109057646-a-most-unlikely-hero-vol-1-light-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
