Wow this protagonist is delusional. He's the definition of coomer who has never touched grass in his life. First thought after transmigrating to an entirely new world is to somehow save (?) the heroines from a fate of being rejected by a guy... by making a harem with them? And he's so confident he can do it too. Color me intrigued.

This is a top tier NTR-ish novel. I don't know the exact definition of NTR but here the MC simply steals the protagonists chances and people he likes. Strictly saying the Netori tag doesn't apply but you get the gist of it.

So our MC transmigrates as one of those rich blond delinquent guys and well his first thought was to steal the chances of the MC. The whole thing is a slow process and not one of those novels where the heroines become nymphos in two chapters. Of course like... more>> the pe*vert MC is, he has eyes for everyone but is rational and doesn't touch anyone except the main heroines of the game (+ also one other girl he likes who isn't a heroine).

The pace progression is slow and the build-up is done well. The interactions with the heroines are also fun. His hate for the protagonist is very prevalent and has a bitter relationship with him. His occasional voice in the head thinking of pe*verted things while talking to the heroines also adds to it. Of course he is shameless, but he does treat his girls well so we can say he isn't a scummy b*stard.

Below is a status update for progress with the FLs (minor spoilers). Obviously there is alot of couple activities and flirting with the FLs in between these main events.

Chinami Nanase first time - C165

The translation and writing quality for this novel is excellent. This is easily one of the most entertaining stories on this site, if you're into these tags. The novel feels unexpectedly grounded, and the characters appropriately nuanced, for this kind of unrealistic power-fantasy transmigration story.

Like a madman who's braincells were slowly dying off, I went ahead and read the mtls up to chapter 216 under a mysterious compulsion to know what happens next. Apart from my personal likes/dislikes, I can say the author is really good at building up to... more>> events, developing characters, relationships and making all of it feel satisfying. Watching the MC slowly create his secret relationship with Miyuki was thrilling. There isn't any hypnosis or special cheat the MC has, just a lot of luck, planning and hard work. (light spoilers) thoughts:

Spoiler

The MC is cunning, pe*verted, and utterly depraved, but never acts like it outwardly (there is an exception, but I'll leave it at that). He is really sweet to his girls. And this sense of incongruity between his thoughts and actions always keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what he will do next. Sometimes in the story I really wanted him to fail, thinking he is an absolute menace. His inner monologue is both entertaining and genuinely disturbing.

The setting feels like a highschool, and the girls feel like they're all ~16, but they all get aged up. I think the MC would get arrested for g*ooming if they actually were younger. The heroines are all unrealistically innocent and naive, but not quite easy. It takes a lot of time for MC to become close enough to enact his plans.

The mind games the MC plays with Renka, the 3rd heroine, and their back and forth, is really great

MC is harem-seeking, but this just comes across as cheating at some points. Miyuki is just a sweet girl in her first relationship, not ready to handle someone so calculating and cunning as the MC.


Tetsuya is just genuinely a meme at this point in the story. Please author, put him out his misery.

a nice story from the author of 'Final Boss in Magical Girl Drama'.

A story about a guy who fell in love with the three heroines of the game 'Tokiaka' that he end up buying their posters/figu**nes and was heartbroken with how the game ended...

and surprise surprise, he ended up in the game as a bad guy... now his goal is to NTL and makes the heroines fall for him... Things do not happen easily and it takes a lot of time for their relationships to build up...

I hope the author... more>> has improved himself from his previous work. <<less

Insanely wholesome and cute story about someone who reincarnates into a romance game as a delinquent, and steals the original protagonist's heroines. How can it be wholesome if he's stealing the heroines? Let me explain.

Context on Netori:

... more>>
Spoiler

In the original game, Tetsuya (the game's MC) is the typical spineless and dickless protagonist who inexplicably rejects all the heroines despite secretly liking them. In the final scene of the game, Miyuki, the main heroine, takes the initiative to confess to Tetsuya but he is too cowardly to accept her confession. Since nothing romantic happens even in the original game, it only shows that Tetsuya has zero romantic chemistry with them. Our true protagonist hates the original loser protagonist, and decides to romance the heroines.

[collapse]

Details on MC:

Spoiler

Matsuda, our protagonist, is the Sun Tzu of Netori. Each step he takes is filled with the wisdom of the Netori gods. He is confident, proactive, and decisive. His inner dialogue is pe*verted and whacky, and it can be either hilarious or off putting depending on the reader. Personally I'm a huge fan of this type of MC, but I can understand why some readers might hate him. He is unlike the typical NTR bulls because he is loving and considerate towards the heroines, and wants lasting relationships.

[collapse]

Spoilers on heroines:

Spoiler

Miyuki -

The main heroine of the game, and Tetsuya's childhood friend. She is kind, pure-hearted, and likes to be doted on. She's completely adorable (she even hiccups when she's feeling shy). At the start of the story, she despises Matsuda because of the character's delinquent reputation, and wants him to be expelled. This romance should have been impossible, but fortunately the MC is the God of Rizz.

This romance takes a while to start, since she hates him at first. She doesn't flip-flop her affection like heroines from less well-written stories. Our MC had to first change her impression of him, and set up some pretext so they can interact and build affection. A lot of time was spent to lay the foundations for a proper romance, but my gosh it is satisfying. Miyuki's characterization is so adorable, and she has the best chemistry and cutest interactions with the MC.

I love harems, but this is one story where I felt really bad knowing other girls will be involved. Miyuki is just that great. IMO, the highlights of the story are Miyuki and Matsuda's romantic interactions.

Renka and Chinami-

Both of these side heroines are from the kendo club. Renka is stern and upright on the surface, but is a closet weeb. Chinami is the energetic and friendly type. Romance with these characters happen later, and as of the current chapters there's not much.

[collapse]

This is one of my favorite novels on the site. It's an idealistic romance that everyone wishes for but few can experience, filled with love and affection. There's no drama, no frustration, and no hopeless obstacles. Just a blissful and enjoyable journey that you, as the reader, can experience vicariously. <<less

incredible main character.

isn't afraid to make moves, reincarnates as some delinquent in a romcom, however doesn't immediately switch his personality. Acts like he is slowly rehabilitating, even acts like a tsundere, but in reality, he is clear with his goals.

he can read the intentions behind the characters easily, and everything goes smoothly.

very refreshing to read and see the generic herbivorous wimpy original protagonist not getting any action because he was too afraid to make a move.

I started skipping chapters trying to see when our MC will actually man up. So far he's been acting like a wolf when he's a sheep. A sheep that has r*pey thoughts but fails to actually do anything worthy of note. Hell the first arc is him cleaning bathrooms and trying too woo the first heroine. After that its the study group and the MC getting beaten up twice...

He hasn't really gotten anywhere after thirty chapters, instead we just have a subpar slice of life that tries to have meaningful... more>> depth. Which is kinda impossible when the MC's monologues are detached from the world. As if he's viewing the world through a lense. 'Like he is the only real person in this 'game' world.'

At this point I fail to see how this novel will branch out. All the fic does is push our MC along a known route without adding anything outside of his knowledge to add tension. He just uses the game strategy to conquer the girls, while being too afraid to do anything original.

Other than that, the world development sucks, there is like only two fleshed out characters after 20k words in this character driven story and the MC fails to NTR the damn protag yet. Like the whole synopsis promises a chad MC, but we get some wimpy kid trying to act all tough.

Anyway I'll stop here. I expected much more, than what I got. The more I write, the more I see the negatives. Hopefully this rant will give you guys a bit of foreknowledge before jumping into this work. For I will be dropping this now. <<less

For a harem adult novel it's the perfect thing for NTL (liked her first but lost) stealer side guys. Anyways that's it. Just a slow stealing process. If you're not looking for adult manga or pure love lol move onto nother novel.

D2G got it right. The main problem with this webnovel is that MC acts like he's some chad, but he's very clearly a pu*sy who doesn't have the guts to do anything, which is ironic considering that he's always complaining about the original MC of the game.

That's not all, though. The plot development is insanely boring. He just spends his day cleaning bathrooms and using his knowledge of the game to coincidentally bump into the heroine. If he was really as much of a good and cool guy as he... more>> thinks he is, he would just be honest and ask out the girl instead of following her around like a creep. Speaking of being a creep, his internal thoughts are very r*pey and just pretty much how I imagine a simp's inner thoughts would be, constantly idolizing and thinking how pretty this girl is.

I liked the original setup but I was heavily disappointed to find out it just has nothing going for it. <<less

4.2 stars.

MC transmigrates into romance game world as an extra. where the protagonist of that game is basically a virg*n, scared f*ck that can't get his d*ck wet. MC says f*ck all that when he gets into the world, and is now attempting to steal the harem of the protagonist. (Which feels amazing)

The building is done exceptionally well.

... more>> The MC is a douchebag, but is a douchebag in a way in which he still doesn't cross over the line.

He's practically trying to build up a harem. Though each female character is built up exceptionally well. They all have their stories.

Only fault is the absolutely slow translation speed. Translator-nim, you left for 3-4 months for your exams... Promising to translate in the same consistency as before. You haven't done so. <<less

Translation is great but unfortunetly slow.

All in all a godly experience. ;)

Essentially an incel loser's idea of a Chad cucking the neet. Except it's the neet writing, so everything he writes about his fantasy Chad are just hentai stereotypes.

The female characters and the interactions are pretty much just what you would expect from an LN with an author who has never held the hand of a woman before, it's all pretty much doujin tier stuff.

The prose is unbearable too. Every 2 seconds it's a s*x joke which gets old by chapter 30 and half the word count is some innuendo.

A good romance harem story but it might be weird for some since MC is trying to build a real Harem in modern day, the story is about an infidel MC, but it's subjective. As someone who likes MCs with gray morals, personally I like this. The MC is very calculating and his inner monologues can be funny at times. Just that I'm not fond of too much R-18 with repeating scenes. I enjoyed sweet banters between MC and the girls so this story is a good read.

The story itself... more>> is nothing stellar but this we got NTL + Chad MC + Sweet moments + Relationship Development. The character interaction between characters can be fun. A wishfulfilment junk food type of romance genre!

Wish this had more translation tho, accuracy of KR mtls is really bad but still readable because there's no real fantasy elements. It's just a school slice-of-life so it's easy to understand. I mostly rate story based on enjoyment so even tho mtl sucks it's a fun story.

PS: this is kinda similar to 'Bad End Route' & 'Shi*tiest Guy in a Doujin' but HTRALC is dozens of times better! It was written with a rational mind and better MC.

PS#2: 'Calibrating the NTR Drift in the Light Novel' is very similar to HTRALC but shorter. Also recommended! <<less

I really liked the story and the plot, I highly recommend it for those who like romance and mature, the development of the story takes a long time, which is actually better than others that in 2 or 3 are already doing s*x, has the development of two characters of heroines, I hope you read at least 10 chapters or more to comment

Really great series! I like the slower pace of the romance and how this gives time to give depth to all the characters. The translation work is of really high quality too but the only negative is how slow the progress of translation is :/

Although the series has already been completed I imagine it will take multiple years before this will be properly translated. The MTL isn't even an option with how horrible it is to read in comparison. Being such an engaging story this wait is killing me...

It's a good concept, but MC's inner monologue is creepy.

Plot: Isekai into a game world where the heroines are rejected by the male lead. MC wants to make a harem with heroines to prevent them from being rejected by the male lead.

The story is interesting as the MC is bold and actively trying to win the heart of the heroine. The story is a lot slower than I thought it would take for a harem and adult tag, as it is still on the first heroine with no s*x scenes... more>> yet. (Ch 21)

MC's creepy monologues are weird to read too. I get he's trying to 'save' the girls, but his focus on s*x and harem makes his action feel more manipulative than honorable. MC even thought of stealing the heroine's mom from her father to make a foursome with her sister as well. <<less

If you are reading this, then congratulations. You are truly lucky. Just so you know, this novel is the perfect novel desired by all the wibu (anime fans). The sweet romance it offers is extraordinary. The mature scenes are very impressive. Even the love bond portrayed in it is very sweet. Truly, this novel represents what is called a true romance novel.

Spoiler

My favorite is Miyuki. Her arc is very sweet
