Okay, almost made it to the last chapter and... yeah, things made me scratch my head.

Really wanted to give it a 3 out of 5 but decide to go for the 4. Not because of the plot, but mostly because all the "Heroines" aren't really push to the side. They are ALL predominant and mention every few chapters and get a few words here and there. It's at its core romcom. There is the whole plot about superpowers in the world and shit, but... this is something that REALLY gets... more>> me... it isn't used, at all. By VOL 7 we barely are touching ONE extra "gift" aside from our MC who never uses his or the one we know to be ANTI-GIFt of the prota of the world which... is still only TWO mentioned gift in a world in which gift seems to be a big deal.

The MC surprisingly isn't weak, he actually defeats a gift user without using his own and even stops another dude from taking something from irene blablalba-san. Yet, this is a surprise for us. Because it was never mentioned that he trains or has great physical body compared to others. After all, I see the dude as a more open Hachiman with the whole thing about his evil eyes.

Really tempting to throw the story though. It was kinda hair pulling when, because there is no big drama the author in all his weird wisdom decides to say "oh yeah, the soul of the evil dude of the body you live in is actually still there and is bidding its time! lol!". That shit? That was not something possitive in a plot device way or narrative way. Because it shows that the author can't really push forward actual drama into the romcom.

Then, when they finally start the whole second part of the story where the protagonist supposedly experience gift stuff and fighting... there was NO drama or conflict added. Just more romcom with a side of slice of life.

So, what does author sama does? Does he adds a new gang? What about making the Gift Hunters more predominant? What about god being more active? What about some actual gift villains? No. Let's add another SOUL into this game! Here, let me pick the bully from his past life and put him inside this nobody with a gorilla body who I don't really like. Sike! So fun!.

No.

That was the lowest and most cringe stuff you could had done author. You have a world, but you don't really touch it. You can make some world building or add more male side characters or females that don't fall for MC... but why do you have to do this? The whole "god killed a keycharacter" was something sour but okay... yet you punched us in the solar plexus by doing this cringe shit. It would had been better if the soul of that guy came to this world similarly to our MC and Madoka... but why, why must you force this cringe in such a way to add more drama or conflict when you had every other possible way open to you?

So, yeah. This story is literally MC straight from a romcom who is as dense as a effin rock. He can't see romance even if the girl goes to his face, looks in his eyes and says "I like/love you.". He somehow doesn't believe it for some reason and fabricates his reality on why they said those words. This is the whole plot by the way, this goes since he was 7 I think till now that he is 17.

But, I went reading this knowing that fact. The tags didn't lie... but oh boy the tags don't make justice to the sh*t that goes here. The PoV change is irritating yet not that much once you get used to it. When a PoV change occurs ALWAYS remind yourself that the PoV change is now from the point of view of the original game timeline when MC didn't exist and his body was the as*hole with mind control.

So, 3/5 is what I wanted to give but 4/5 because I feel kind it deserved it... till chapter v9c28 anyway. <<less

What you expect from a villain isekai novel will not be met. It just borrow the concept and then instantly become harem/sol novels that you are sicked of.

And the denseness really ruined it all. Freaking annoying also.

The first few chapters are ok, so 2 star for that

To really read this. You have to know which is the real game dialogue and which is the alternative dialogue. Each characters are flesh out and fine. Ironically they speak as if they are in high school than middle school. There is some world building in current chapters but it is short.

I haven’t read much, but it’s been relatively fun.

However it falls into the same trap that all of these types of novels do (where the character the MC reincarnates is destined to die). The charaacterd all recognise what makes them die, but their solution to the issue always misses the obvious and it makes it hard to believe and the narrative feel forced.

The trap is the following... Their solution to dying is to “not interact with any characters”, when really their solution should just be to not be evil?

So reading... more>> this MC Hideyoshi panic any time he interacts with someone from the main cast is just frustrating as logically there is no reason to panic unless he does something bad. <<less

The author does a great job with his characters. He introduces new characters with a slow pace and gives them contrasting but vibrant personalities. As the main cast continues to grow and grow, I surprisingly find that it’s easy to recognize their names and not forget their backstories. He does a great job of swapping between darker and wholesome scenes, but it break the immersion sometimes. The main character is dense enough to rival osmium, but the author gives us a reason for that. Overall, it’s a pretty good read... more>> if you like a diverse cast of personalities and dirty jokes/comedy. <<less

The only reason I'm not rating this 5 is that the tropes it has, had already been implemented by countless other "reincarnated into an Otome/Eroge/etc.) game. But the reason I don't rate it 3 stars is that the premise of being reincarnated into an actual disgusting guy instead of those lukewarm villains that cry when the MC berates them. This villain he possessed is literal tr*sh as he... more>>
Spoiler

brainwashed the potential feMC into being a s*ave from childhood all the way to highschool (she is conscious that she cant control her own body) and let her kill his adoptive parents as well as herself just because

The story was surprisingly fun.

The story itself it's your usual 'bad guy becomes good and everything will be good', but the surprise shounen element in the middle and the murky darkness that could happen anytime (it did happen and it's honestly surprising me) makes me gives this one 4 star.

Even though this one is geared towards rom-com, I kinda feel like this will turn into a shounen fight scene soon.

and NGL I like this kind of story, it reminds me of rosario to vampire, the manga not the anime

After reading over 10 volumes of this shit, I really can't take it anymore. The story progresses so slowly, and so many chapters are given to boring slice of life stuff. The author tried to explain the protagonist's denseness is due to pass experiences, but promises he will get better later on but after 10 volumes and still nothing. Its would've been easier to read if the characters were at least interesting but they are just one note.

Sigh, the MC is either one of the following: dumb, pathetic, without imagination, a broken record, or all of the above. From the very start the author repeats the same thing over and over again, scumbag this scumbag that, hated this hated that, morals morals morals. I think it’s just that we’ve been spoiled by korean or chinese novelists that could’ve written this better. The premise is really good, but the execution is severely over the top “hey I’m a japanese virg*n” self-insert trope.

this is one of the best novel I read out there that gives so much naturality on boke-tsukkomi. The comedy inside feels fresh and lots of the characters feels alive. The main characters is dense af tho so if you dont like that kind of character I am sure you will hate this novel.

I give it 5 simply because I'm still on v5c23 a.k.a arc 5 so there arent lots of heroines that kinda high over heels on MC. If it reach > 3 characters chasing after this dude then... more>> I simply will gave it 1 star. Especially if he still playing dense.

pretty refreshing transfer into game trope, his ability is hella interesting and he is not THAT "special" to the point people seeing him as anomaly. I hope you remember this since to us he has cheat like ability that borderline make him as a fantasy, but to those world its just like seeing a genius mathematician that can count number faster than a calculator. <<less
