In terms of the story, the lore is interesting. The plot isn't the most amazing thing I read but it's mostly fun to read.

At some point the focus got vety hard on s*x though.

Don't get me wrong, I like smut quite a bit. What I don't like however is that it has to appear organically, not blatantly like this.

... more>> It turns the novel into cheap p*rn even if the lore is interesting. That's a pity and also gets tiresome for me.

The MC seems to have a decent brain and is strong, both mentally and physically, given his reaction on the crisis he faces and its consequences.

The power escalates decently, at the very least there's an attempt to explain each step on his growth.

Besides the blatant focus on s*x, I blame the harem tag on how women are portrayed, though that isn't everything.

It's a reversed world, supposedly, but the women act like men. That tells me that the author doesn't understand women, not even in a basic level.

Matriarchal societies in history are clear on showing us that power doesn't turn women into men.

Although some traits are a must (leadership for example, which in my opinion is genderless anyway), there's very clear differences in the environment and attitude that may exist in a society like that.

In all honesty, if I generalize, I can totally disregard the idea of a world where women lead to be like this.

The lack of plausibility on this really kills the immersion for me.

That being said, I agree with other reviewer that his musings when comparing our world to the current one he's in is at least interesting.

I'm not sure if it's enough for my patience to not drop to zero before this is completed though.

The translation is fine, though the webpage they use sometimes doesn't work.

I didn't read an MTL version but for the looks of it, in response to other review, whatever's too blatant or ridiculous is on the author, not the tl team.

After reading so many novels and different translators I can tell when it's a matter of quality of translation or the author's style just being what it is. <<less

The premise of the story is interesting and it actually starts off well, but the translation is so unbelievably bad that it makes the story borderline unreadable and it only gets worse the further I read. There were also many instances of what I felt was bad or lazy writing or just straight up illogical stuff, but then again it's honestly hard to discern what the author's intent was there because of how awful the translation is.

Really good novel IMO, the MC is a tough dude who doesn't lament over the changes between old world and new world. There are two longer term mysteries setup early on that I think one of will be an earlier arc focus.

Spoiler

Mystery the first, possibly the longer overall arc, what happened to MC's sister.

Mystery number 2, who is the woman in white armor who saved MC early on?

I have praise for the MC/author, but semi spoilerish:

Spoiler

MC is almost r*ped by two women early on. Instead of being the drooly "I wanna be r*ped" MC as in many reverse novels, it is portrayed as it should be in my opinion, scary and off putting to the MC and he fights back killing one of the offenders.

[collapse]

The biggest downside at the moment is the chapters are kinda short and there are not many of them yet. <<less

I'm really not sure what to think of this one.

The gender reversed power balance is handled fairly well and our MC has believable reactions to the world. The story itself is interesting and well presented, even if our MC and some of the events are rather extreme.

I could definitely do without the 18+ scenes and all the milk / udder references. That was almost enough to make me drop it.

Despite its flaws I do want to know what happens, but at the same time I'm glad I'm caught up and... more>> can put the novel on hold for a while.

Read the description, and the tags (unlike me) and use those to decide if you want to read it! <<less
