Despite being an R-18 novel, this has as a good plot and not only about s*x scene.

You can read plus points of this title from other reviews, I will just tell you several things which I hate from this story.

  • At the start, this story starting good: well writen and realistic. But since ch.50~ I felt the author just forcing too much of his fetishes into the story.
  • Author fetish/preference:
    • r*pe (or r*pe play). Everytime a new girl joined MC's harem, Author always creates reasons so that they experience r*pe/rape-play at least once. Though MC is the one who did it.
    • r*pe X love. Author always combines r*pe and love. The author always gives explaination, but in the end it feels forced for me.
    • Painful s*x. This author always has a thing for women enduring pain during s*x. Maybe it's to prove their love towards MC.
    • virg*n. Among MC's harem, some of them are ex-prostitute and the rest are girls which virg*nities taken by MC. Despite MC said that he will treat them equally, it painfully obvious that the Author only cares about girls which virg*nities taken by MC. Ex-prostitute girls only entering MC's harem just for convenience of the story and to make MC looks good.S*x scenes and flirting scene for ex-prostitute always so short while the other girls has it much longer.
    • Young girls (middle and high school student). Sometimes, you will be wondering wether this Author is lolicon or not.
  • If you are alright with author fetish, it wont bother you so much. If your preferences match this Author, you should read this story. But in my case, I'm fed up reading it that I skip most of s*x scenes. Now I'm only here for the plot.

This is an erotic/harem novel, so there would be a gratuitous amount of s*x.

SPOILERS AND RANT BELOW:

... more>>
Spoiler

Aside from that, I strongly disagreed with how most people said: "Yukino is a bit*h because she was prideful and egotistical."

"Are you for real?" Ok. Other characters kill and we are cool with that. Other characters r*pe and they are less blamable. Yukino resisted her raping, not complying with outrageous orders, and you called her a "b*tch".

Ahem. Yukino is a typical female hailed from a prestigious background, so you should expect her to be arrogant and even spoiled. But would you consent to r*pe her for that reason?

"How about her abusing her non-blood-related sister?" Someone might say.

"Sure". That was a terrible act, which "demanded punishment" in the form of r*pe. And not just that, but also psychological torture and humiliation.

The only solid reason, in my opinion, to r*pe Yukino like a sow (not like a whore), was that it was part of a revenge cycle of her dad's misdeeds. She was the victim of the karma. Can anyone give me a solid, realistic reasons that I might have missed as to why I should shift my blame onto Yukino and not the others or her dad? I felt as if people in the comments here and at "Machine Sliced Bread" are subconsciously practicing victim-blaming here, and that just disgusted me. The comment section made me quit the story, and also the unnecessary harem.

And for your info, I can, and often read guro/vore/r*pe hentai to relieve my stress, but I did not blame the victims for being haughty in the process of being mistreated. I just cannot wrap my head around the ones that cannot sympathize with a "r*pe victim". Guess arrogant, selfish people deserve to be r*ped and humiliated on a daily basis. Social justice OP.

It's my first review in novelupdates and sorry if there is something wrong with my english because it's not my first language.

It's the first 18+ novel that have great story that i've ever read.
and that's why there I want to answer a bit the most complaint from those who give this novel 1 star.

first, for those who read this novel for the plot and only reading around 30 chapter, you're going to think the story only about garbage MC raping an innocent girl because that's only the opening of... more>> the novel, it's don't even reach the plot yet, even the personality of each character not yet shown.
Spoiler

Yukino is not innocent at all she is a b**ch believe me, and Endou is an a***ole

[collapse]
And for those who read this for the fap you will need to read around 10 or more chapter to reach the first s*x (rape) scene and each chapter is a bit long around 3000 words so you have to be patient.

second, for those who saying that the MC is idiot for not growing at all after reading around 30 chapter. I tell you, this novel is realy slow, the reason it's seems fast is because each day there's have a lot of event. Just for info, from the 1st chapter to the newest translated chapter right now (chapter 238) there only 9 days had passed in the story. If you don't believe me you can check the raw or TOC of the translation yourself. So you can think yourself why the MC is still s*upid in around chapter 30.

well maybe just that for now. <<less

Edit after chapter 1024: Grew to be very repetitive and boring.

Characters are now the same and instantly like MC after s*x which is just s*upid. Edit: Edit: after reading this because of boredom to see if my view changed I realized it did but for the worse.

Family: They say they care for him yet they don't since they know he is exhausted at times on the border of breaking down yet they still ask and ask for s*x and such, if they cared then they wouldn't do that but the... more>> author states how they need it to be stable and other such nonsense.

Lots of useless info dumps throughout the chapters, it'll go oh we need to do something? Girl 1 will make a joke while MC will not understand so Girl 2, 3, 4 will go on a tangent explaining this and that while MC is just blank.

Be prepared for repetition, Girl 1 enters the conversation and author will make a couple of sentences or paragraph about how sad her back story is even though we had long ass chapters about it before, this is constantly happening in chapters.

MC: always told how s*upid he is and how he doesn't understand and such yet they continue to "teach" him which is pointless since he doesn't remember what they teach, something he should know since it's been stated many times before is forgotten so author will make another info dump of the "teaching"

Sensei: She says she cares and wants him to make his own decisions yet she guides him to follow what she wants by withholding crucial information and feeding false information and at times intervening to get him to go with her choice, yet she makes him think he has free will to pick.

Nothing about the MC is relatable or likeable to the readers if you think about it, only thing that the cardboard harem like about him is his s*upidity/never lies/ always listens/see's people as equal, oh and he is supposedly great at s*x. But they care more about the s*x aspect since they mention s*x 24/7, yes I know it's that kind of novel but having an MC where rich beautiful women like him because he is good at s*x is laughable. Long rant over, just a lot of bad writing by the author but hey if like sh*t like this then to each their own. <<less

Read further down for edited review.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES STOP READING UNTIL YOU HAVE AT LEAST GOT TO CHAPTER 35. Like most people from the first 10 chapter or so I got bored and thought it was just another weird r*pe fantasy bullsh*t you see all the time.... it is not. Yes it's based around s*x and r*pe IS a big part of the start BUT it goes so much deeper.

There is so much mystery and introspection and the characters are ALL fleshed out and real feeling. I... more>> don't get that unrealistic feeling you get when characters in novels act weirdly or s*upidly for no other purpose then to advance the plot. I just got to chapter 35 and realized um hook. Yes I might have started reading this story for the p*rn but the back story and plot is now what I'm staying for. Also the s*x description are pretty good.... it is the best p*rn with plot I've EVER read. Expect twists and turns and secrets. The MC isn't a sick and pe*verted person... he's an empty she'll of a broken person who barley understand why he does anything. This story touches on obsession and love and hate and the masks people wear to hide their true selves. If you have a low tolerance rate for sick and twisted stuff this might not be for you.

Edit.

The main charachter has ZERO soul or will of his own. And this is somehow endearing to all the women who surround him. I was interested in seeing how his f, d up relation with his r*pe victim would go or end and it seems to have ended but all the other girls who through themselves at him is just getting rediculous. To much s*x s*x for the sake of s*x. I was hoping for more actions and charachter growth but most of the story is centered around s*x. The MC is boring as sh*t compared to the women who surround him. 3 out of 5 because while my opinion of the novel is much lower now it isn't horrible. I'll finish reading eventually. <<less

I don't even need to read until the latest translated chapter that this is a masterpiece for me, truly worthy of 5* (I'm not saying that I won't be reading until the latest translated chapter though, lol)

I came for the PLOT (seggs) but stayed for the plot (actual story).

That's just how good it is.

To think that the MC here literally changed in a matter of just a day or two is already big. (Though one has to know that these took like 40+ chapters just for the two days... more>> of many incidents).

It's well-written except for the fact that the characters aren't described well so I can't imagine their appearance properly, but their character developments. That's where this is a top-notch novel.

For me, it's a well thought-out series. It started off as very dark (though yeah, it's still dark after the 1st day of the series) but came to be a bit more fluff. (Yes, despite being a harem.)

One thing to note here is like, all of the characters are broken. Broken in terms of their personalities. They all had dark pasts and secrets that opened up hatred/anger/emptiness as a person.

Seriously, I even teared up for the MCs past. I never thought that I would cry from an ero-novel of all things.

If you're planning to read this series, I highly recommend that you read so. Despite the number of chapters, it's actually necessary and only little time (in the story) has passed on those. As currently of c83, the story is at its 4th day.

Like I said earlier, it starts off very dark, involves r*pe and stuff. Even the MC was quite baffling at the start. I assure you, from chapter 30 thereon, it became much better. Not only the MC, but the other characters of the story. You won't regret reading this series.

Update: Every new character that gets introduced is well thought out as well. They have personalities that may overlap with others but their backgrounds are different. <<less

Pros

Spoiler
  1. Character Development: most characters have quite a decent character development. A lot of them are quite colorful and multi-dimensional. Even if the story is repetitive sometimes, the characters are good enough that it keeps you going.
  2. Setting: I won't say that it's realistic, but it's not completely unrealistic either. It's a vibrant unrealistic setting based on reality. Nobility, underground society, secret Qi arts, etc. Powers that can ignore laws and control a country to some degree make the story thrilling as the MC obtains them one by one.
  3. Psychology: the psychology of each character is analyzed thoroughly in a way that gets down to the root of the problem. Various traumas and ideals, you'll be able to relate to them and realize a lot of things in real life. It's a rare experience to gain life lessons from an ero novel.
  4. s*x Scenes: this novel sticks to the orthodox s*x without going too overboard nor soft. The MC always goes for cr**mpies with the feeling of making the girls pregnant. No machines/tortures involved, which I prefer. The MC loves everyone he has s*x with and treats them dearly.
[collapse]

Cons

Spoiler
  1. Main Character: quite debatable. But he's extremely passive and selfless like a robot. He won't move unless people around him tell him to. He's quite a unique character, but not that unique at the same time. I won't say much, but I can tell you that you'll be disappointed if you expect too much. He's not OP, but his women are.
  2. Slow pace: this is one of the most slow-paced novels out there; one day's worth of story goes on for dozens of chapters. 600 chapters worth of story only spans around 2 weeks of the story. Nothing much will happen in just 5 or 10 chapters as there's quite a bit of winding up before shits go down. Don't expect time-skips where the MC comes back with huge growths (although there's a minor one). Everything is extremely gradual. This can be a pro depending on your taste.
  3. Excessive trivia and history: trivia and history can be good when used well, but the author abuses them too much that it gets boring a lot of times. One paragraph might suffice for the purpose of the story, but the author often dumps an entire chapter worth of them.
  4. The loli's: the story didn't start off with many loli's at all, but after a certain point in the plot, loli's started flooding his harem. Most of the characters with good character development are the older ones, but after the loli's went rampant, the older ones weren't allowed much screen time. It probably would've been an easy 5 star if the author kept the loli's moderate and focused on other important things.
  5. Repetitive Problems: the plot has so many repeating problems, such as the main character holding back during s*x, him adding everyone he has s*x with to the family, and Megumi b*tching. It's not just once or twice, but the problems are repeated too many times that it quite irritates you. Each iteration ends with you thinking "thank god, this problem is solved now", but the author shoves it back in your face before you could even forget about it.
  6. Villains: all the villains in this novel are quite dumbed down and boringly comical. It makes the novel quite light-hearted, but it makes it less exciting at the same time as well.
  7. Combat: the actual combat scenes are quite lackluster. They perform uninteresting skits instead of seriously fighting. Despite being in a modern setting, guns are rarely used. Close combat somehow dominates everything.
[collapse]

This novel is definitely one-of-a-kind and I recommend reading it. If you ignore many minor flaws, it's definitely close to a masterpiece. Many people say it's dark, but it's actually overall light-hearted outside of the Minaho arc. I really hope the author comes back and finishes at least the Momoko arc.

It's worth reading, I don't believe anyone who read more then a few hundred chapters would disagree. Almost everything that happens in this novel has a good reason that effects the story. (And all the bad reviews came from people who quit the story early, from what I've seen.)

I read up to chapter 590. The end of the "main story." Not sure if I'll get to the rest but I felt the need to post a review here.

When folks say this is a slow paced read? They are actually exaggerating. Snail's pace might be more accurate. Though dead horse pace may be an even better description. Except for a handful of chapters? Those 589 not-short chapters cover about two weeks. Yeah, you read that right. Two. Weeks. I was waiting for the chapter devoted entirely to brushing teeth.... more>> While having s*x of course. I admit to skimming through a few chapters because they were focused on a character I wasn't interested in or included way, really way, too much social commentary slash analysis.

However, by and large, the pace actually felt okay. No matter how glacially slow it happened to be.

Also, I'm not a fan of the big harem, bang everyone, kind of stories like road to kingdom. They just seem to drag after a while. However, this story is an exception to that preference. Why? Well... Once you finally get to the chapter on Yoshida's backstory? Just... Wow...

"Hey, MC? Bang everyone you want to, as much as you want too. Seriously, if you need a wingman to help line them up? Just give me a call. Brother, you so need this more than me."

I might need therapy just from reading his backstory chapter. Yes, its that depressing. And that's in a cast that includes school girls who were kidnapped, r*ped, and forced to prostitute themselves.

In fact? I think this may be the most, justifiably, emotionally damaged cast of characters I've ever found in a story before. And for a story that, as of chapter 590, has yet to include cheating or NTR? At least any that's not in the MC's favor. That's really saying something.

I rate this story five stars because, to me, its a pretty unique read. Ridiculously slow pace and a cast of characters that should be under 24/7 psychiatric care but still managing to be interesting 99% of the time. And that's not even counting the s*x.

I highly recommend you read but keep your mental health care professional's number handy. And lots of tissues. Both for wiping the tears you will sometimes shed and, yeah, that other thing you'll be doing too. <<less

Astounding. At first, I only read the first few chapters and thought this was a novel just about s*x. I was wrong.

I am clinically depressed and this novel surprised me to no end. It grasped at the essence of depression

Although the psychology of the characters is dipped in a bout of fantasy, it is surprisingly realistic. The feeling of unconditional love is intoxicating and the feeling of being relied upon is exhilarating. Depression only appears when the character feels alone or hated. This novel captures these facts very well.

I love... more>> the s*x scenes. I became invested on each character. This is a good story. Not for everyone but it is good. On a personal note it is one of the best novels that I read. Mind you, novel. In other words, even in comparison to actual published books, it is one of the best. <<less

This novel was a big surprise for me. I hate r*pe, pointless s*x and annoyingly pe*verted mc's, so I always avoided this novel because of the description and the tags. Until I got interested in why this was ranked so high and checked the good reviews, So I gave it a try.

The first 20 chapters are god dam awful (not my preference) and I almost dropped it, but after I gave it a chance because of the reviews, it becomes the best Harem romance novel ever made, where everyone has... more>> a good back story and reasons to do what they do, a decent plot and everyone has good character growth.

Thats all im gonna write since other people already covered everything, and my battery is almost out, so all you need to know is just give this a novel a chance up to chapter 40 and see if you like it or not.

(Worst character ever, and gives me moments when I want to rate this novel a 1 star = Yukino) <<less

GREAT! LOVE IT! I can't express my feelings for this novel enough! Highly recommended, although it's a bit slow the story line slowly picks up in the later chapters. Great s*x scenes, really like the female protag (Yukino), I want to see her fall even lower! The other female protags are s*x crazy and dependent on the male protag, but overall a nice read. Highly recommended to not read with your parents/lover behind you lol

This is my favorite series of all time, mostly because its p*rn with real plot. The plot takes time to slowly works itself out, and while it my seem like a text dump just to see how many chapters it can punch out it allows each character to flesh themselves out and be able to stand up from just being side girl #1 or #2.

I actually like the MC, from the start he seems weak but starts to slowly develop over the story. While he may not be the smartest... more>> I believe its important to remember that he is basically throw into the deep end of the pool without floats. Since he has no knowledge of how criminal organizations work, others have to explain it to him which make him seem more real. Not every person is going to know exactly how everything works from the start.

Only two girls get r*ped so far.

This Novel is truly a MASTERPIECE!

I dislike this kind of novel at 1st, thus this novel is 1 of my last novel in my reading list. But after reading it, I realized that I was wrong, this novel is really good, so much different from other novel in the same kind as this one, this novel is a true masterpiece!

You will never see a character like Yukino in all other novel with same genre, and the uniqueness of this novel that the characters are alive. AT 1ST MC is the... more>> one being guided by the girls, is so different than the other novel of the same kind which only have MC raping dolls (girls with no personality whatsoever) after dolls and the dolls just exist there to be r*ped by the MC. This one actually has amazing plot, which is rare for hentai novels with so many s*x scenes.

Anyway, this novel is a must read! And I have to drop this here just in case!!

YUKINO IS THE BEST GIRL!!! :) <<less

This is really enjoyable. I have read a few R-18 novels but this is probably the best so far. There is actually a plot in the story and it's progressing steadily. Unlike some other series which I won't mentioned that have no plot and just provide s*x scenes each and every chapter.

Yes, the story is kinda dark but that's make this good. To be honest I wasn't expecting much when I started this series but I was kinda blown away because there is an actual goal to the story. The... more>> characters are twisted but that what makes the series fun. It's kinda scary what kind of ending this will provide considering that they are more or less a Crime Syndicate so death and r*pe will probably happen sooner or later but if it get well executed I bet it will be another highlight of the story.

The characters have some solid background to them which sometimes makes you cry.

This series have a really well balance story which will surely make you cry, laugh and of course h**ny.

The only downside of the story is the MC is like a Puppet that will obey whatever he is told by the people he likes. It's kinda sad but there is at least an explanation why he became like that but HOPEFULLY his character will develop at some point in time. I mean there is like 1, 000 chapters if he doesn't mature then that will just be sad. For now I'd give it 5 but if he doesn't develop as a human then I will definitely lower the rating. <<less

I'm really impressed with this novel, I didn't expect that much out of a light novel chosen randomly, even less a 18+ rated one, with tags like "rape", "netori" and "harem".

Usually, what you get from that are cheap novels of a quality even lower than your random reincarnation novels, with characters and story barely existing for the sake of the s*x scenes.

Here, we have quite a few interesting character (though all of them have a few loose screws), and something that tries to get a somewhat coherent story. Every character... more>> has its flaws, quite a few of them could be described as "crazy", but it somehow makes them feel much more human (but not humane) than quite a lot of characters on light novels. That said though, they are very far from the "norm" you would expect from human beings, so it can really break the immersion if that puts you off.

Like usual, you have a protagonist with near limitless stamina, and quite a lot of the situation don't feel realistic at all.

The writing style is not exceptional, the translation mostly decent (mostly a few typing errors rather than full on grammatical errors).
The narration is mostly first person from the protagonist, but it spares us from the "style" that's raw thoughts with sound effects everywhere, and lots of exclamation points. It feels more like a proper narration made from the point of view of the main character instead, with a few of his thoughts and reactions inserted in there.

All in all, I had a lot of fun reading this, and the "story" parts that are usually filler between s*x scenes were actually what made me continue reading after the first arcs. Do keep in mind that it's by no mean a nice relaxing story, and it's certainly not your usual scenes from the 15+ and harem stories. <<less
