Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

God: “I’ll lie to this guy and tell him that I reincarnated him as the protagonist, when actually I just reincarnated him as cannon fodder (LOL).”

A high school boy who longed for the protagonists that appeared in fiction got hit by a truck and died. He was then called before God, who told him that he will be reincarnated inside a game based on a novel. Our boy was happy to be told that he was going to be reincarnated as Protagonist… However, he was actually reincarnated as mere cannon fodder inside utsuge!! (T/N: Utsuge translates as “melancholy/depressing game” and that’s basically it.)

And so, the guy was played by god’s scheme … Well, such a thing didn’t happen though. He firmly held onto his belief and the vision of his ideal which then changed the world.

Moderately good misunderstanding comedy.

I love this genre, and I had fun here, but I'm afraid I had a huge positive bias.

Characters are shallow harem dummies, protagonist brings them even further down by refusing to interact with them. It sure is funny, but doesn't help with moving their relationships in any direction. The overall situation is still lively, but disappointing nonetheless.

Story is absent, so it is hard to get excited about possible future developments. When everything is a joke I can still look forward for more jokes, but they aren't that... more>> great to really care. <<less

I give it a four star because its a really good story, the chuuni part was kinda convenient to have, the MC believe that he was the center of the world which is the point of the story, this just shows that his mindset made him who he is, what I don't like is the gods talking about him it just pissed me off the flow of the story was great until it got cut off because of the gods talking sh*t about him or praising him out of nowhere.

He... more>> does work hard on the first parts of the story but in later parts he become cooler since he can endure damage of any kind just because of the reason that proganist of any kind can't die which made his will strong, he was even stabbed in the heart and still live, he's weak though so he was always half dead in any victory, if any of you want to read this I suggest you read the japanese version. <<less

A fairly bland and repetitive story. The mediocre translation doesn't help, either. The script is very dry and literal, and an awkward read. I suspect it's either edited MTL, or an ESL translation. Said translation makes the MC seem extremely boring and autistic, and very s*upid. You're probably here for misunderstanding hijinks, but you can skip this one.

Everything is a constant joke, when you think you have a serious moment or you think the plot is going somewhere they give you an anticlimactic event that always follows the same pattern because MC never really does anything on his own, it all turns into a joke of misunderstanding and reflection that cannot be taken seriously due to the development of the protagonist. It's even frustrating and disappointing at times, because you have something with genuine entertainment potential only to then have unfortunate anticlimactic moments or developments and lots... more>> of plot armor. The overcoming, the strong mindednes, etc. Everything is part of a joke that gets boring after the fifth time around that read it. I highly doubt the label "weak to strong" because it's not even good enough. Strong mentality should be seen as the label instead <<less
