I Was a Man Before Reincarnating, So I Refuse a Reverse Harem

Description

—because I was beautiful girl when I reincarnated, I was convinced that I was a winner in life.

By prioritizing the life of his best friend during a maritime disaster, the soul of a young man who lost his life was reborn as the Baroness Sophie Linier in another world.

At the age of six, Sophie began to remember her past life.

「In this world I’ve been born as a cute girl, a winner! Okay, I’ll live as the most perfect and lovely baroness!」

Unfortunately even if she says that, the personality she weaves for herself will eventually fall off. For the most part it is a comedy and occasionally serious.

This novel is basically Accomplishments of a Duke's Daughter, except the MC is a genderbender. Well, the first arc literally copies the same concept of a noble's daughter using modern knowledge to pioneer a business enterprise. It seems like the MC genderbent for the express purpose to make an artificial tomboy yuri female protagonist. For what it's worth, the MC should have been a girl to begin with.

Spoiler

on the All-Girls academy arc, the genderbender factor is abused, and quite frankly, this is where the ratings plummet. In essence, the MC has a lot of pe*verted thoughts, but doesn't act upon them.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Next arc, the MC goes to an all-boy's academy, because their knowledge is so worldly, they deserve to have an elite education. This also circles back to the prologue. As far as I can tell this is karmic retribution, because the MC abused their genderbender factor.

[collapse]

If the MC was a girl to begin with, they could respectfully gather data during the all-girl's academy arc, and perhaps acquire an actual yuri romance? By the time the graduates from the all-boy's academy, they've become so fed up with men that a yuri romance ending is more plausible.

Academy arc starts at chapter 30 approximately, the chapters are short by my personal standard.
History has had many timeskips so far, but I didn't feel displeased with them, unlike some works that decide to put a timeskip after a moment of hype and let you imagine what happened after the conclusion of that moment, in this novel the timeskips are made of casual and trivial way for the story, without making you feel too much discomfort when reading the story.
The protagonist initially acts as if he intends to live as a girl and ignore his man side, but after chapter 30 this changes a bit, he starts to show his 'man' side at times. As far as I've read I'm not sure if this will become a Yuri or... Yaoi? Normal? In other words, whatever it might be called (After search a bit seems to be Yaoi side with a small touch of yuri TT-TT), the novel manages to distract you well and even give you a little craving for the next chapters when reading, but I don't think it's so good to say that it stands out in relation to other works. So read it casually if you want a story without too many demands.

Its a typical reincarnation story. Its not much to write home about. The character interactions are sweet so its a big plus. It hits most of the cliches in a reincarnation female lead story but it somehow drops many of things that usually pisses me off about them. Super laid back with some humor. The romance aspect of it is currently minimal. Its the stereotypical dense protagonist when it comes to romance.

Spoiler

although the first dude that confessed to the MC outright got rejected lol

Personally, I prefer it to stay non-romantic (I wouldn't be mad about a yuri route tho) and delve more into the business aspect of the novel. I'm pretty sure that won't happen. Overall its a nice read and a good way to kill time. 5 stars because of how low this novel is rated. <<less

Pretty well-written cross of gender-bender and business-otome. A quirky tomboy baffles everyone with her cute appearance and unabashed demeanor.

Using past knowledge, she conquers, like usual, everyone's stomachs but then, without overstaying that welcome, she proceeds with implementing water treatment.

Sadly, by c104, the story is not far along yet since the chapters are relatively short (perhaps ~1000 words each).

Over all I like the story. However the author spends a lot of time reiterating the details of the story time and time again, like he thinks all the readers have short term memory issues.

Spoiler

She (MC) points a dagger in the second prince's throat, who is second in line to the throne, and there are no consequences?

The second prince gropes her breasts in front of so many people, and she's not mad about that? Rather she's mad that he badmouthed her 'onee-sama' (crown prince's fiancee) ?

And what's with the obsession with the crown prince's fiancee? You were just classmates for 3 months, and she didn't do a sh*t for you.

Somebody calls her a prostitute, and she feels nothing. And she's mad because he called food trivial?

And how does she punish the black star class you ask? She teaches them dancing (such harsh punishment!). And they are so scared that their faces turn pale. Insert 'scared_shitless. Jpeg'

It's basically your typical territory development novel with bishounen reverse harem setting but without the actual reverse harem. She is still surrounded by a lot of boys, but it doesn't focus on the romance at all. She is more like a wrecking ball (read as Queen) that conquered everyone than romance target.

Overall it's good. Good story, good pace.... until it hit boys school arc.... It went from 40 chapter manage to finish one entire arc complete with a good prologue, character development, and ending. To 40 chapter only prologue event... more>> that happened in the span of a couple of days, and it's not even done, the prologue is still far from done <<less

The base might sound cliche but it is well developed at its own. The characters and world are worked in a beautiful way. The only thing I do not enjoy at all it's how repetitive can be the author at some moments, usually it's when a character enters the scene
