The Sentenced to Be a Hero is a light novel series by Rocket Shokai and began airing in October 2020 on the self-publishing website kakuyomu.jp. In September 201, it received an official release with illustrations by MEHPISTO in Kadokawa's Dengeki no Shin Bungei Imprint.

Yen Press licensed the novel in English.
Official summary:
“Hero” is the worst punishment in the world.
As for those convicted of heinous crimes, they are sentenced to become “Heroes” ” and forced to participate in mandatory military service in the fight against the Demon Lord.
These condemned men are not even allowed to die—if they are killed, they will rise again to fight another day.
Hero Xylo Forbartz, former leader of the Order of the Holy Knights, leads a criminal unit of poor souls fighting on the front lines. It was in this worst of circumstances that he met Teoritta, one of the most powerful weapons in the world.
“When every last enemy has been defeated, you must praise me and pat my head.”
To survive and to take revenge on those who had wronged him, he made a pact with the goddess and plunged headlong into a spiral of war and conspiracy.
The original author, Rocket Shokai, commented on this announcement:
Watching cartoons was fun so I went to eat ramen.
Ramen noodles are made from broth from grilled dried flying fish.
The slightly bitter, salty broth was blended with the thin noodles just right, and the flavor of the added iwanori topping gave it a layered satisfaction.
I am confident that the animated version of “Sentenced to Be a Hero” will have the same synergistic effect.
The illustrator, MEPHISTO, also commented and he even drew a special illustration.
Congratulations on the anime adaptation of Sentenced to Be a Hero!
With the animation team's extremely high motivation, I have a strong feeling that this is an amazing piece of art that will be produced!
I can't wait to see Xylo and his friends in action……!
