Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Yamai Zenjirou is your everyday office worker in modern Japan. One morning, he suddenly finds himself summoned to a tropical world where dinosaurs roam the land.
He is told that this is the kingdom of Capua and the person who summoned him – its monarch, Queen Aura – wants him to marry her and leave his old life behind for a life of carefree extravagance as her prince consort.
The reasons for her offer are many and varied, but she needs an heir, and she wants him to be the one to provide it! If he accepts, he’ll never have to work again, lazing around in luxury with no worries other than securing the kingdom its next monarch.
Certainly, sleeping with the buxom beauty is far from a hardship, but is everything really as it seems? He’ll also need to give up everything he knows on Earth.
Is he ready to drop it all at a moment’s notice for her sake? And how well will he be able to navigate the politics, people and culture of this new world if he does?

- This isn's a rebirth LN, Zenjirou is an adult corporate sl*ve that is summoned to a medieval society with sorcery and military culture;
- Being an adult male that has lived a modern confortable life, it's too late to start training with sword and magic to become some OP protagonist, he's just a normal weakling surrounded by scary people;
- The MC doesn't get any kind of cheat skill, only magic like other nobles (and he isn't some kind of special genius that has most magic than anyone else, or something like that).
This said, it's a concrete isekai LN, without RPG elements like skill points and such. The magic is nicely explained, but the... more>>I get that the title is ideal sponger life but come on. The protagonist needs to have some form of personality to be interesting. He has a total of three traits: loves his wife (quite one sidedly as for her it is a slightly happier marriage of convenience), obeys his wife, and complains about the fantasy world's shortcomings. Ok the last one isn't that prevalent but I couldn't think of any other traits this guy has. He is a male version of the ideal harem member for JP and CN novels. All his achievements are to the world his wife's, he can't meet his son, and he can't leave the palace.
I know it's the sponger life but his life seems more boring than paint drying to me. Author seemed have better ideas for the MC in the beginning but now he is repeating the same actions over and over again and being put down.
The complaints made by other readers were
1. Incompetent MC
I will ask the readers to remember that novel title 'Ideal sponger life'. So, I will suggest the readers not to go with unnatural expectations.
My opinion: MC cannot be considered incompetent but a doormat for his wife. In fact, when he was offered to act he always exceeds expectations of people.
2. Subservient to wife
MC knows what he was signed for when he married the other world's queen. She clearly states why she married other worlder and what she expect from her husband.
3. Marriage
Most of the readers here did not understand what is in to be relationship or to put it more clearly when the couple have very skewed power dynamics.
If you like to see real relationship, where husband and wife had frequent night talks and how they patch relationship after fights? There were lots of sacrifices big and small mostly from MC.
4. Queen vs Wife
FL frankly said to MC if compelled to choose between the role of queen and wife. She would choose to be a queen of her country rather than being his wife.
Catherine the great could be considered the worst example (real life example) in how she dealt with her husband and lovers, when she reigned as queen of Russia. FL was much better than Catherine. She does not cheat and in personal life allow him to be more dominating to offset her dominance in social life and more than that she really tries to make the relationship work irrespective of differences.
If it does not bother you, above discussed perceived cons of readers. Also, like to read about believable relationship and believable life of aristocrat in other world. Go ahead you will not be disappointed.
@Immoral Peac obviously did not pay attention on why passive MC is a need, much less understand the synopsis given. Expecting the opposite of his purpose would obviously be s*upid considering his position as a consort not a ruler. What is the point of the explicitly written "sponger life"
