(2021). Goblin Slayer as an Anti-hero in Kumo Kagyu’s Goblin Slayer Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters. Faculty of Letters. Universitas Sanata Dharma. This study discusses a novel entitled “Goblin Slayer”.

A library study method was also applied in this study. There were two sources used: primary and secondary sources. The primary data was the novel Goblin Slayer itself. The secondary data were of the data from the online journals, online criticism on the novel, the theory of character and characterization, and theory of anti-hero. Based on the analysis, there are two points that can be presented in the conclusions. The first conclusion is the about the characteristics.
