"The real title is 'My Dad is the Best in the World!' The main story is complete."
Van Ismir, known as the "Hero Who Saved the Nation," played a crucial role in sealing the Demon Lord as part of a legendary party. After the battle, he settled down, got married, and had a daughter. However, as a man who only knew how to fight, Van struggled to balance his role as a warrior and a father, feeling awkward and inadequate in his home life.
Even though he was treated coldly by his wife and daughter, Van thought it was because he wasn't a good family man. But then, he discovered a shocking truth—his daughter was actually the result of an affair between his wife and one of his former party members.
"Your daughter isn’t even yours. That’s why they treat you like trash."
Devastated by this revelation and falling into the trap set by his enemies, Van was framed and exiled from the kingdom.
Heartbroken, Van traveled to a neighboring country, where he learned about his true origins and began to heal from his emotional scars.
Meanwhile, back in the kingdom, the revival of the Demon Lord led to an invasion by the demon army.
What Van didn’t know was that his daughter had also found out the truth about her mother’s affair and was deeply hurt by the knowledge that she wasn’t Van’s biological child. Wanting Van to be free from their burden and find happiness elsewhere, she purposely acted cold towards him, hoping he would move on without them.
This is the story of a father and daughter who misunderstand each other.
Will happiness ever come for the two of them?
I’ve seen enough…
The story is decent overall. I’d rate it around 7–8 out of 10.
The only characters who seem to lack common sense are the prince and the saint. Most of the other characters behave reasonably, which I appreciated. I also liked that once the protagonist discovers the betrayal, he immediately looks for a way to confront them instead of falling into the usual depression arc that protagonists in this kind of story often go through.
Another strong point is the worldbuilding. Many of the elements introduced earlier in the story are later used in meaningful ways to move the plot forward.
For example, the fact that it’s mentioned early on that the protagonist is immune to curses, combined with the later explanation that the saint’s ability actually works like a curse (her power constantly heals her, which is why she believed she couldn’t get pregnant), sets up the final plot twist quite well.
However, this is also one of the story’s weaker points. It makes sense that the saint wouldn’t know about the protagonist’s ability and might assume she simply got lucky. But the protagonist himself understands both how his own ability works and how the saint’s ability functions. Because of that, the fact that he never questions the paternity of the child feels like a weak point in the
writing.
