Up to chapter 8 - Seen’s to be a old (30s at c6) (“ugly”) dude that get reincarnated in a fantasy world being a old (“ugly”) dude that thinks with his d**k. Get’s in trouble at the beginning because he has the verbose talking of a door. His power like summary says is a over healing ability with a giant number of INT and Mana points. For now there is no plot expect the reincarnation and him wanting to f**k everything that walks.

Chapter up to 8 - At the... more>> end of chapter we get a objective for the series and the name of it. <<less

The isekai cheat conceit is interesting and even more interesting in how it is used and the supporting characters have a surprising amount of depth (though some really wild choices in their characterization), but there are a few significant barriers to enjoying it:

1. There's a consistent amount of gross-out ero.

2. The MC, Tanaka, is obsessed with virg*ns to the point of refusing any potential partner who he believes or knows has had s*x before.

... more>> 3. Too much noncon, being OK with noncon, and dreaming longingly of it by the MC.

Anyway, since it's a complete story, I really was pushing and hoping to make it all the way through to the end, but the MC treating everything like he's just watching it on TV and only getting involved to safeguard his delusions while rejecting any sort of real closeness with everyone got way too frustrating to continue with. <<less

It's not terrible... but it's not really good either. It would be pretty good I think if the author didn't do completely nonsensical things and complete 180s on the MCs personality out of nowhere.

For instance...... more>>
Spoiler

Your going to go out of your way to pay triple the cost of the house and fight red dragons because your a Japanese man who owns his own home and will fight to the end for it, yet 2 chapters later you walk out of it and move into a dorm because you might make a girl uncomfortable by staying in a room down the hall? All this after happily running around nude and enjoying yourself in a lolis cloak reveling in the fact that it made her squirm? Since when in this novel has he cared even in the slightest about making someone uncomfortable?

If you can get over the utter s*upidity of half the story though the other half isn't bad I guess. <<less

I both love and hate this novel. I want Tanaka to lose his v**ginity but I know it will likely never happen or only at the very end. Yet Tanaka can go f*ck himself, while he had a valid reason for not sleeping with the succubus girl early on but after becoming nobility he has no excuse for being a virg*n. In the end, though the main idea behind this novel is Tanaka wanting to lose his v**ginity so where does it go when the goal is achieved. Storytelling wise... more>> I get him staying a virg*n, but on a personal level, I don't like it.

Though in case anyone wants to argue he never had a valid reason not to screw her I'll ask you this. If you were a high-ranking nobility and you found out your teenage daughter was having s*x with an ugly middle-aged commoner what would you do? <<less

-My very first review

This novel with it hilarious humour makes me smile a lot. The fact that he is forced to go through an unfavourable environment is pretty admirable in many ways. One thing I don't like about this novel is that I get blue-balled by the end of the day :/ though I just read some vanilla to deal with it.

Quite a fun read, hoping to have more released.

If you are okay with NTR, masochist or can ignore constant hentai tease while reading you will like the serie. MC is an OP starving virg*n pe*vert that is faithful to his fiancee that like orgies with other people.

Girls even try to r*pe HIM and the only thing u read is him having pe*verted thoughts and somehow being stronger than budda when it comes to s*xual desires on the promise of him being faithful to a girl that is anything but...

The end of the novel? I predict its... more>> gonna end with him having a child and unsure if its his. The author is faithful to the ntr so I doubt hes gonna stop until the end, maybe even kill the MC so his wife ends up with someone else. Oh and him being ugly doesnt even matter, even if he were handsome wouldn't change anything. <<less

As much as I would like to like this mc's beta attitude just grates at my brain. He's literally super OP, but despite that he still manages to be kind of pathetic.

He just needs to kill couple monsters and he would probably become most powerful person in world. But ofc being beta he's just fine living in his pe*verted delusions.

This is a comedy. If you're looking for power fantasies or wish fulfillment you're unlikely to scratch your itch here.

It's not a bad comedy, but it feels like the author is afraid to step out of his comfort zone. Jokes and scenarios are constantly recycled while character development doesn't exist. The protagonist is self deprecating, h**ny, a complete degenerate (No, the 'h**ny' does not render this redundant.), and a simp. If any of these traits turn you off look elsewhere, because nothing has changed since the start.

Final verdict: It's entertaining,... more>> but not satisfying. <<less

At first, I was reading it blindly. 1st volume came and I thought "Wow, I cannot take this srsly". I ended up reading it for baseless entertaining tr*sh novel. It was quite a read in the 1st volume though. But as the volume proceeds, it was painful to read, especially at volume 4. Like, P a I n f u l to read. To be honest, my standard for reading random novels like these are quite high, for example: Good Worldbuilding, Good Power system, Good characterization, Decent Plot. But as... more>> someone has already pointed out, it lacked of these or rather, satirecalized? So, dont read it if you want to preserve a good amount of time and has a mind of simple reader who wanted a good read, because its not one.

Spoiler

I apologize for those who will read this review, but its not my cup of tea. Reading other reviews have thought me that this is a Hit or Miss novel. For me though, its a big miss. I also liked the argument that others said that this was a result of a genius writing of the author in presenting us a deconstructed isekai type of a thing. They are telling what a 'bad' writing is, and should this novel be glorified. This should never be the case. Deconstruction is far from this and incredibly complex. In this case, I do not see any elaborate plan nor any escalation that ought to be dismantled. Again, this is not my kind of story, and if you are too, I highly recommend that you avoid it.

So gave this one a read and well to be honest the story is pretty much an Isekai with OP MC who has no confidence but at the same time has some very high standards for girls which in turn nets him no girls at all. The story looks to be a bit of a satire I guess in the fact that in this story the MC is able to get a bunch of girls but instead he tells them of for a hundred different reasons which in turn ends... more>> a bunch of them sleeping with other guys while still proclaiming they love the MC.

In short it's a story about a pretty much immortal MC who also holds god like powers. While some say he's not that OP, the guy has a healing magic that can instantly heal someone who has even a single speck of life left in them. He is also able to put it in regen mode meaning it works over and over on it's own and he holds hundreds of millions of MP that almost instantly regens as well so he can just activate his regen spell and he's immortal.

Outside of that he's a middle aged virg*n that is obssessed with having a handsome face so he can get all the girls he wants (even though he already has a ton of girls gunning for him). The story overall feels like an NTR fetish comdy sketch where the MC is stealing all the girls and their crazy for him but at the same time he has no confidence + as mention a bunch of reasons not to sleep with them so instead they end up sleeping with others/their old lovers because the MC is rejecting them.

Big spoiler on how it all ends

Spoiler

In the end the MC get's forced into marrying a lot of the girls who he had been avoiding because of their daddy's being high nobles/kings/ppl in power but then lamenting over how he's not handsome he "falls" into a well and is again summoned by the god who reincarnated him at the start and then asks to be made handsome again so he can have a lot of girls, the god say's it's impossible and just makes him more powerful and then he get's summoned in another world. While all the girls who have been chasing him most of the story finds the summoning circle in the well and promises to follow him and save him. The End.

[collapse]

In short if you are someone who project yourself into the MC's shoes or like to imagine your the hero of the story, then this is really not for you. Instead this is a story meant to either a) if your the aforementioned person pretty much make you being OP but being a major beta or b) if you enjoy seeing the hero being super dense and pretty much get played around while not even understanding how s*upid he is or how he is being mostly used and abused. <<less

The story seems to lack plot holes for most part, with the exception of MC never again using the stats info to scan people ... more>>
Spoiler

like when he visited the FMC (which tbh isn't very likable) and did not scan her parents even though he knows she is half succubus and it was mentioned some paragraph earlier hence I still don't know what kind of monster her parents are, btw her father was someone disguising as suspicious merchant accompanied by his mysterious attendant/wife all he needed to do was use the stats window to uncover them but he didn't.

[collapse]

Also atm I assume I am reading the light novel but the problem is that I have been reading the webnovel from the start until idk when meaning there is alot of past reference which come out of nowhere.

And lastly his powers are to be barely amazing enough in pinch situation and in theory his is mean to be strong (I think, cuz he is kind like a unreliable one trick pony) but in reality it's complicated. Tbh 1 lvl in language is overpowered. He should really just level as many skills as possible to the power spikes.

WE NEED MORE OF SENSEI. <<less

The things I hate about japanese LN's are Japan is so advance Japan number 1!!! Careless and ultra s*upid MC.. He has OP magic but he is acting like he didnt realise it. Making cutted off arms and legs using healing magic is normal. Its painfull to read those s*upid lines

To put this in the most concise and unmol*sted terms possible, this is an absolute garbage dime store Isekai in every meaning of the word- You know exactly what I'm talking about. The author pulls it off perfectly though, and that's what makes this series so much fun to read. Usually the Light Novel is an improvement over the Web Novel, but this is one of those weird exceptions where the Author could be more off-the-rails with his approach in the Web Novel and it actually worked better due to... more>> the dirty/crude humor. When it went from web novel to serialization, he clearly had to tone down a lot of the aspects that made this so enjoyable to read in the early chapters. That doesn't mean it's bad, well, bad compared to other dime store Isekai wish fulfillment anyways. The power play in the early chapters and during the Academy arc were truly great, and made fun of overarching plots you tend to see in those sorts of works. The war arc was absolutely a 180 on what the series had done to be good up until that point though with the exception of
Spoiler

our great friend Gonzales, and they never explain what happened to the monk.

[collapse]

MC clearly gets the power creep, and by the end of the War Arc he's entered full generic harem status, which is pretty disconcerting. There's nothing necessarily wrong with harem when done right, but the
Spoiler

beginning harem had their own wants and needs whereas by the end of the war arc, it's just a bunch of pretty faces falling for a busamen.

[collapse]

I hope this fat balding bastard gets his crap together going forward and we get back to ugly lecherous old man fun times, or do something with that
Spoiler

eternal youth plotline that looked like it was going somewhere before going nowhere.

[collapse]
I might update this rating at that point, but we'll see when we get there.

tl;dr- If you enjoy raunchy tr*sh dime-store Isekai, this will make you laugh and give you chances to relate to Tanaka. If you're sick and tired of Isekai, this will do nothing for you because it's just another "Isekai, but with X twist/spin!" on it. As a tr*sh isekai it's a solid 4/5. As a novel in general it's a 2/5, but sometimes it's enjoyable to read those 2/5s. <<less

This is s*upid and miserable but strangely good in its own

This starts from the extremely OP power MC with a fugly face that even god can't fix it. And while I said OP, it's started from the maximum level healing magic, while his level 1 magic let him kill enemies 3 times stronger than him

his way of life being a hard mode solely because of his face considered 'ugly' (although the illust make him look decent)

Spoiler

anyway, his heart does shine bright and his course stays true. 'I wanna l00d everyone'

at later chapter his life become easier though

This is actually pretty good. I was reluctant at first because I don't really like NTRs (I mean the tags literally have it) but surprisingly I don't find any NTR so far. From what I know the girl needs to be with him to be it as a NTR but he never really dated anyone. Yes, the story is depressing but it's realistic aside from some s*upid decisions he makes. It's really fun, just keep an open mind and I'm sure it would be enjoyable.

The MC's character is kind of all over the place. Although he has a high int stat his actual intelligence is lacking. It made me laugh quite a bit though since it is quite good from a comedic point of view. All in all if the MC was slightly smarter on how he spends his skill points and kept up his flirty slightly sadistic nature with the girls it would make for a way better story.

Ah but the typical Japanese clueless about relationships force is a bit too strong in... more>> him. It almost seems forced to me.

How I wish there was at least one story where the MC noticed when girls were into him and acted appropriately.

The most annoying thing in the story is his over idolised view on virg*n girls and I suspect it's leading cause of him never getting laid. <<less
