WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "Easily my favorite story I've read so far on Royal Road... Maple reminds me of Izuku Midoriya, and for Kenichiro, I hear Samurai Jack whenever he talks." — pdwalker, Author of Inhanced In a world where heroics are monetized and monsters are farmed for corporate ad revenue, an outdated samurai is about to disrupt the algorithm. Maple is a solidly popular C-tier hero streamer looking to break into the big leagues. Then she crosses paths with Kenichiro Kamui: 67 years old, retired, zero interest in views, and armed with a single antique katana. However, he happens to be terrifyingly overpowered. Maple decides to stream his fights for content; Kenichiro just wants to keep this stubborn girl alive. But as their views skyrocket, they accidentally expose the corrupt, manufactured war run by the Hero Association. What to expect: Overpowered Grandpa Samurai: Perfect for fans of "retired legend" action like John Wick or Nobody. Corporate Satire & Fast Action: Sharp influencer parody meets adrenaline-fueled fights. Heartfelt Found Family: Grumpy veteran meets sunny rookie (No romance, no harem). Release Schedule: Consistent updates every Tuesday and Saturday!
