I have to disagree pretty heavily with the previous review... I mean, it's a novel that has "eroge" right in the title so if you are thoroughly disappointed that the ML is acting like, y'know, an eroge ML then.. I don't know how to help you. The author sets up pretty quickly what kind of story this is (the prologue literally opens the novel with dub-con smut!) so I'm surprised anyone could get past the first 4 sentences and think it was supposed to be plot-focused. Nothing about the plot/characterizations... more>> is really outlandish or "s*upid" either if you actually consider the genre of games that the author is referencing -- both the novel title and synopsis explicitly tell you that this is going to be another isekai setting where the hero is dropped in a fantasy world except this one is literally inside a het hentai game, so I would think most readers would be expecting the writing to mimic hentai logic and language to some degree. Complaining that the characters are too perverted when the setting is a hentai game world feels pretty silly, like ordering a rib-eye steak and complaining that you were served meat when you're a vegetarian.

I think the smut is actually really enjoyable to read through because even if their first sexual encounter starts with dub-con, there's a lot of internal dialogue from the MC about how much he enjoys the feeling so it doesn't feel gross and forcible. It quickly becomes apparent, too, how much the ML loves Zagan and only Zagan so I didn't really think of him as a scum stallion... a little bland and underdeveloped, maybe, since his only defining feature is really "loves Zagan" (but again, eroge setting so I wasn't expecting some groundbreakingly complex and nuanced ML).

Surprisingly, I genuinely enjoy the world building in this novel, with the different attributes and the mystery of what happened between the three gods. As the novel progresses, the smut slows down a little bit and I find myself more invested in the actual plot of the story (which starts out pretty thin, understandably).

Because of the somewhat carefree pacing where it's not super tightly structured, this has become a comfort read for me where I'll read 2-3 ch. every day or two. It's not a gripping read where you binge and desperately need to know what happens, but it's fun as a lighter fluffier story with some pretty well done smut. <<less

Smut novel, thought it was plot focused 😅 the story is okay. Probably, I'm not good with Japanese yaoi novel because the MC is timid and s*upid. He only cried when he felt humiliated in the 4th s*x (c16). I also dislike the perverted ML. The ML looks like a scum stallion, forcing (raping) the MC while the MC is unconscious to transfer power. Of all thing for power recovery, really doing s*x to unconscious person. Take note that MC is not in life threatening condition. This is so s*upid... more>> 😅

Whereas the MC accepted it when he woke up. Really s*upid 😅 MC as a straight in past easily accepted to be f*cked by man. -Sigh-

Anyway, 2 stars for the smut scene only. <<less

I wasn't expecting much... but I like it... a lot.

The MC, takes the role of 'Zagan' who is originally supposed to be a villain. The current Zagan is someone... who is not really a villain. He's supposed to be scary and intimidating. Dark and edgy. Feared for his dark magic. Zagan however, really seems to love animals, going so far as to follow the ML, Luca, whenever he does a commission that involves animals. Well, since he's already here he might as well, pet them, right?

...

... what is this... more>> gap moe??? Isn't he supposed to be scary and intimidating???? I can totally see where Luca is coming from when he says that Zagan is too cute. This guy... this S-rank adventurer, feared user of dark magic, isn't he way too cute?!

Ah, unfortunately I am very biased towards Zagan, so as long as Zagan remains in the story, I will keep reading it.

Plot? What's that? Is it something I can eat? Their first *** scene is dub-con and Zagan accepts it as it is. He... really doesn't try to reject any of Luca's advances. Isn't that dangerous? He's trying to take advantage of you, shouldn't you say something?

Luca too, isn't it dangerous for you to be seen with a dark mage? Are you not afraid of anything?? His dirty talk is also... way too much. Yeah, this guy. He's a pervert. As expected of an eroge protagonist.

Contrary to my expectations, there is no harem for the ML despite it being based on an eroge. Which is good for me. I was really dreading it. He's just too in love with Zagan. It's actually very cute how much he loves him.

Well, I like it a lot. Don't go into this novel expecting any plot or you will be disappointed. But if you're looking for *** and a very cute MC who is also a little overpowered and a very doting ML, then this is perfect. <<less

The story has a decent plot that makes you want to keep reading, which is a huge plus for me someone who gets bored with stories easily. The MC is OP from the start and not in an annoying way, he looks at things rationally and is pretty smart! The ML is doting but his libido is super high (where the dubcon comes in,) I wouldn't say it's r*pe per se, but more of dubcon aka dubious consent, meaning your not sure if there's consent or not. Thankfully it's only... more>> one time. The ML is super understanding and doting when the MC tells him he's not sure if he loves him which is *chefs kiss* instead of forcing him like most Seme/Gong's do in R-18 novels. It's seriously a hidden gem among R-18 novels and well translated. I myself would give it a 4.5 out of 5.

Although I enjoy it take my review with a grain of salt if it's not for you, don't read it. <<less

This is a very enjoyable read. Although the ML’s dirty talk type was not quite my cup of a tea, his sincere feeling towards MC is very abundant, the MC character progress, the world building was quite detailed, the supporting characters were very likable.

Spoiler

i personally don’t quite like the term ‘shirimanko’, literally translated as ‘bu*t’ and woman’s private parts, personally just thinking why would you call a man’s parts as a woman’s parts. I think the ML always use this term when they did it. I’m not sure since up to c42, they did it every so often, probably around once every three chapters. And the ML is quite the typical eroge MC, how he’s almost constantly triggered (in se*ual sense) by MC.

[collapse]

There were causes for every phenomenon occurred. I’m quite surprised since eroge or otome ge type of novels quite often brushed off the ‘cause’ details as “it is the scenario, so that’s how it should have been”.

Despite this is based on eroge scenario, I enjoyed very much the ‘adventure part’ of the story. So if you’re considering whether to read it, try it! Honestly i’m reading this for its story rather than its smut, I personally think even if the smut is not as often as it is, it is a very enjoyable read already. <<less

The story's not bad, and the smut is great. Zagan's (MC) character development is good so far, and Luca (ML) is starting to get more of a background.

If you're planning to read the machine translations, beware of the perspective and pronoun switching, it's heavily apparent during smut scenes.

It's still too early to judge for me. The characters are okay, nothing too noteworthy. (I mean it's supposed to be an eroge. So...) Still, a lot of changes have occured because of the MC's transmigration. So, I can only wish for some character development in later chapters. (The other reviews aren't making me so optimistic 😅)

The smut is something I'm very happy about. BUT, there's some So read at your own discretion.

TL;DR: Read for smut!!! 🙈

Pretty Good as long as you don't take it too seriously. Pretty intense first chapter but later on quite fluffy and soft with hints of plot development that might actually be interesting. (Don't quote menon that though HAHAHA)

Cute and sweet fantasy/adventurer/isekai BL once you get past the initial (⚠️TW) non/dub-con

i like this story so far, with balanced fluff and smut

the story is interesting to me at least, I love how the MC is like to ML at some point. Story progress is okay, what made me want to read this is because of the smut

I'll say, I'm looking forward to the smut chapter/scenes!

(R*pe and tags related to that is what I avoid, but thank god I didn't for this story, it's like a hidden gem for me)
