Volume 1
Synopsis :
“Why does everyone pay attention to me when all I want is to be a ‘mob’!?”
In the Galactic Empire, a vast nation encompassing 70% of habitable planets in the cosmos, John Wuzos worked as a mercenary. He considered himself an “otaku” and a “mob” and tried to live each day in tranquility, adhering to the motto of “knowing his place and staying out of the spotlight.” Consequently, he always tried to avoid any events that could lead to trouble!
However, inexplicably, the protagonist characters around him kept self-destructing one after another…!
No matter the request, Wuzos strived to remain a mob, but…
“I’ll put it simply. Would you consider switching sides and joining me?”
“Could you come to my team as a staff member?”
Thanks to his dedication to being a mob, he had honed swift and accurate judgment and an unwavering mental fortitude. Some people even referred to him with awe as “dust on the ground.” Now, those who sought to exploit his covert abilities began to emerge…?
Unbeknownst to him, a thrilling space fantasy unfolds, led by an unwittingly capable mob mercenary. And so, the curtains rise!

“Why did you get such a huge reward!?” He was accosted by a fallen noblewoman with pink hair.
“Freeze, intruder. Move and you die.” His ship, the Patchwork, was destroyed, and as he fled into a cave, he found himself at gunpoint by Gerhilde, the sister of Rosweize, an ancient weapon with a will of its own.
Despite these ongoing disasters, Uzoth stumbled upon an ultra-high-performance ancient weapon. Naturally, his response was…!
“Absolutely not! Ships like that are meant for handsome guys with main character vibes!”

Hello!
Now that J-novel club released volume 3, will you drop this series, or will you continue at this pace?
They are releasing volumes one after the other pretty quickly…
All LN translations of this series have already been removed from this website. However, the Webnovel translations will continue until I am asked to stop (hopefully never).
You did release volume 3 for the light novel just before J-novel did, in fact it’s still on your Ko-fi.
I was asking if you were goind to do that for volume 4 as well.
Don’t worry about the webnovel.
Ko-fi is not this website, no?
Volume 4 has not come out yet so I can’t say anything
Edit: it’s all deleted from ko-fi, thanks for the reminder
I really want to like this story but the super ships just ruin everything with their existing man. I get he’s a mob but they make every character feel insignificant and irrelevant when they can do everything practically themselves.
