really deserves to be called a masterpiece by the majority of people. It's isekai, true, but for the most part I think it's shounen manga written in novels, of course there's something special about that. That point of view is told from a villain who knows the destruction of the world and his own death, that's the big picture. For those of you who have read stories with the same theme, namely the death flag and are quite interested in exploring that theme, you should read this. Several stories such... more>> as Kanojo Flag, My Nextlive as Villain, and other death flags disappointed me quite a bit in presenting the theme. Kanojo flag started well but it ended with a harem route which they hoped was a fresh route. Meanwhile, My Next Villain is pretty good overall, but I don't care about S2 because the story is just everyday life. Meanwhile, this is a story that fulfills all my expectations regarding the Death Flag theme, MC must organize all events to continue on track so that the world is not destroyed because of the kindness of his heart as a modern person, but with all these advantages, breaking the death flag is still impossible for him, the other characters continue to misinterpret Harold's actions even though there is a little bit of truth, it still backfires for MC (Harold) because his plans really deviate far, and the thing I like most about this story is. Even though it looks like the world revolves around the MC, but if you look deeper, the world fills in the blanks of the game plot (which is almost the theme of the whole story) seeing the MC really struggling because it is a fresh feeling for me (I'm not a sadist, I'm right - really wanted this story to have a happy ending) Unlike Subaru from Re Zero, Harold (MC) only had one chance, there were no repetitions, and the unknown punishment for failure made MC and even me who read it scared. Even now, the origin of why MC is in that world has not been told (which is what determines all his actions in the series, trying his best not to get involved as deeply as possible with the world) and one more thing. If people say Jujutsu kaisen is the new gen of shounen manga, that title should be given to this story. The story is completely indulgent for the shonen genre with no annoying dialogue unrelated to the state of the series. The dialogue of each character is really like the story we want to hear from each character. And if this reminds you of Overlord, don't worry, the MC is very different in that his actions don't just sit back and follow the flow, he coolly makes his own way, also unlike the eminence in shadow who looks like a children's playground. Harold (mc) largely created the entire foundation of the story here, even without the help of a writer. Yes, as certain people say, if someone says it's good, it means it's good. Although not all of them. <<less

Well, this is a pretty entertaining novel.

The MC is an ordinary person who got reincarnated into a villain of a game he played before. He decides to use his knowledge to help solve problems that are going to happen in the future where staying anonymous.

This novel's world building and characters are honestly pretty average, they don't really stand out at all, and the story doesn't really focuses on them.

In this story, drama is a huge part of its element. Due to that, and the author being seemingly a newbie in... more>> writing (or probably just didn't put much effort into the character creation, planning, and world building aspect), the characters are not very developed. And some of the earlier characters got sidelined after the arcs they are involved in are over.

Well, the focus is on drama and not on characters or world building anyway.

Some parts of the novel is a little forced, due to the need for drama and to make the MC unconscious of his own achievements (i.e. LP farming and co.).

This novel has a lot of potential to be a 5 star novel. If the author focuses more on the character interactions and development, I think this novel will be a better read than the current one rn. Besides, since this novel focuses on drama so much, focusing on characters more will also create more opportunity for dramas to be created. But right now, it is simply a "turn off your brain" novel where you read to have fun and not to think. <<less

When I first started reading this I thought it was gonna be another one of that generic isekai that exists out there fortunately that was not the case in this one. Because even though this may have a complex plot it nevertheless delivers the story close to perfection and that's why I'm having trouble understanding why some people don't like this series for reasons such as "Harold didn't prepare enough even though he knows the future". Because as far as I know the MC is just a normal person, and... more>> it can be seen in the things he did in the novel. There are many good points in this novel to point out, but as my English and grammar are not up for it I leave it to someone else to explain why this can get so addicting. <<less

I love how there is a twist that the MC has to act like a actual villain. The fact that what he wants to says will be 10 times worse when they come out of his mouth makes the story stands out from the others isekai novel. I love the type of MC where he/she is transported to a new world and take over a villain body. The only thing that I don’t like about that kind of plot is that the MC can actually changes his/her personallity to a... more>> completely different person which is so annoying like does anyone even question if the villain they knew is a complete different person so that just soooo annoying for me. So this is the perfect novel for me. 100% recomended <3 <<less

Will contain some spoilers so read at your own risk.

The only thing this story has going for it is the premise - a young noble whose parents are extra gung-ho about pure-bloodedness where the MC knows how the plot should progress, and instinctively speaks like the previous body owner.

Sounds fairly generic when I write it out like this actually. The title is about avoiding death flags, but from the story he has read he only dies near the end to the 'Last Boss' so I can't see where these supposed... more>> death flags are. This was the start of my gripes. And after we get past the prologue everything seems to fall apart.

Suddenly the main thing to do is making a new farming method popular. Kind of random, but okay. We're also hinted at how strong the real antagonist was, so the MC with his body should be strong too etc, but it gets glossed over, as any real training the MC does is try to use his magic skills how he envisions them. Also, he almost loses to a side character who got mentioned in the story the MC read maybe as a one-liner.

Then comes the fiancee arc, and everything comes crashing down, because the author obviously couldn't handle writing about an MC who other people view unfavorably on. A few tears from the MC's fiancee was all it took to get one of the 3 confidants to divulge the secret of how the MC didn't actually burn a mother and daughter to nothing, but had them leave the Stokes territory and that everything she thought of the MC is a terrible misunderstanding.

I felt like I saw the chart of bitcoin dropping after Elon's tweet in my mind's eye about where the story's headed.

And then it devolves into whatever wasn't already generic so far. Author obviously had no idea what he wanted to write about, since he wrote of everything while also writing about nothing, since the main story motivation was forgotten in a heartbeat. This story is so all over the place I'm having a hard time actually figuring out what the worst parts are, because it's all so bad. <<less

This story is so good. Every character is fleshed out, all important characters are written beyond the first impression and their role in the game MC remembers.

Specially high praise on how the MC behaves and is evaluated by his peers, the leading misunderstandings and his loneliness and despair each time he makes a new decision.

The pace changes drastically at volume 3, and out starts to rely on the 'past' not seen through the time skip. Honestly I love this work

the story is amazing, one of the best isekai anime. I hope the manga version is going well. The tense where MC makes a choice whether to go through the story or make a change and I like how hew make the decision.

The female lead is likable and cute, not a flower brain girl and has reasons to like the MC. Like most other isekais, the author didn't keep MC as a villain only in name. Has shown actions of being a villain. I like how the story is going... more>> amd hope it will get more arcs <<less

3.5/5 I have to say I had a blast reading this. Just that after reading 80+ chapters the story starts feeling repetitive and kinda frustrating with everyone hating MC cause of misunderstanding.

I mean does he really need liner and co to beat Justus? I mean the guys is a recurring boss character that keeps getting stronger each time. IMO he's more than op to fight Justus head on.

Anyways, it was fun while it lasted but the story is going downwards. Right now I'm just reading for the sake of seeing the ending. <<less

An absolutely fantastic novel. Every character feels real and the author writes so well that you can't help but be attached to Harold and certain other characters. The weakest aspect of this novel would be the main antagonist (as their is not much depth to him, at least personally.) and a timeskip arc. But it picks up pretty quickly again once the MC starts interacting with already familiar characters. Either way, great writing, great characters, every character feels real and just a wonderful novel. I feel most people would be... more>> able to actually sympathize with Harold naturally and the writing makes sure that it doesn't feel forced. <<less

This is one of my all-time favorites. It's a funny story with a (not overly) op, intelligent, and highly misunderstood (both as a good person and a bad person) protagonist :D

Some people didn't like the third arc, but I think you should at least read the first two arcs first if that's why you're considering not reading it; even if you don't like the third arc you can still enjoy the arcs before that, unless you're the type that gets invested in the story and characters easily.

Since (obviously) this... more>> is an otome game isekai, you're going to have an MC that knows plot and stuff. The game's system holds a lot of power in this setting, so our MC is controlled by it during the typical cutscenes in the game, and it also forces him to keep the character's original way of speaking. The novel's setting is faithful to the game, right down to the fighting and farming mechanics, albeit adapted to real life (you won't find any game interface-type things in this novel). If you don't like this, I can suggest you not read it, because it does play a role. Despite being of the romance genre, you won't see too much romance in it. Worldbuilding is alright, but not anything super amazing.

Of course, the novel has some flaws (they would be spoilery so I'll refrain from typing them out), but it's still a highly enjoyable time-waster. It's too bad it doesn't update very often. <<less

Definitely in my top 5 isekai. The MC is cold and calculating and tries to play the villain act, but is seen through by the people close to him. Basically the story is about the MC navigating the Game's story playing the villian while trying to do good deeds here and there. The Heroine is a great character that earnestly wants to help the MC and knows he's a good person. Their banter is my favorite part of this novel.

Only downside is the slow release from the author.

The greatest part about this book is honestly the protagonist. He's someone who actually uses arrogant words and stays by them. He's not like a tsundere, when he says something, he goes by it, even if it's a complete lie. He's dissapointed and frustrated when he fails to do what he set out to do and is one of the most unluckiest chatacters that I've read about, though to a normal degree. He's by no means perfect, and completely understands that so he uses his knowledge as best he can... more>> and realizes that without it, it's going to be a big problem. Because of that, he tries to reproduce everything he can while only modifying small bits of it so he can still see what's going to happen next. Thanks to that, various troubles happen, though he's never really in the wrong. <<less

The main character is suddenly thrown into the body of a game character and although he still has his personality from when he was still alive. The game's character Harold Stokes translates his words/feelings portraying what the game wanted Harold Stokes to be. Always getting misunderstood because of the game's characters' portrayal, he doesn't try to fix the misconceptions that people have of him due to the game he knew from before possessing Harold Stokes body.

What I liked most of the story was the misconceptions, and I am easily led into a onion ninja trap. I felt myself holding back my manly tears as I imagine and feel what the author was trying to convey in his story.

Having to take responsibilities for something people who have given rumors about without checking the facts. This has made me love the novel more and more.

I really love this novel. Although it might not be the best, it is still one of my favourites. The MC can sometimes be really annoying, He does a lot of unnecessary things like helping people out, but in the end it's all part of the plan :D. He carries a lot of burden alone, specially for those who are important to him. He somehow reminds of Itachi, although he is way better of a character than Harold. It kinda disappoint me a little when he snapped his composure when... more>> he met the main antagonist of 'brave hearts'. But at the same time, it makes him not so OP for making such a mistake like declaring his resentment on their first meeting.

I definitely don't recommend it to people who watches and reads too much shounen mainstream manga and anime. Or people who skip a lot of texts on the novel because they often skip the most important details. But if you like Tate no yuusha or Arifureta, this might be another good read for you guys. <<less

One of the best Transported to Game World isekais I've read.

I love the misunderstandings that makes othre overstimate the MC, also it's good to see butterfly effect actually work. The multiple POV is amazing as the serie doesn't focu 100% about MC and allows learn more about the other characters.

MC 4.5/5

... more>> MC is strong but not insane OP due to his constant training as well to know all game character's skills. His sharp tongue is something I personally like as I'm not in the classic sweet words hero.

Secondary Characters

Are well made, with POV you can learn the difference between them from in-game and how they change dueto MC's actions. <<less

This story is about Hirasawa Kazuki a university student who suddenly find himself in the body of the Villain, Harold Stokes, a noble boy in the RPG story based game that he used to play

The plot on how he try avoid his death fate by altering his action without changing the normal story flow is really interesting

And whats more interesting is that every action or conversation that he made are seen as Cruel & Evil by others even if he's doing it out of goodwill

Due to Him being unable to... more>> tell the truth to others, He begin to relentlessly work by himself to change his fate.. Which later result him being the strongest even at a young age & help the hero's team from the shadows..

And I found that the Romance between Harold & Erica to be really sweet eventhough both of them haven't reveal their feelings yet but the love that push her to workhard to support the overpowered loner Harold result her to be overpowered too & just 2nd to Harold (she is even stronger than the Hero of the story)

The story is quite fast paced,

Based on the plot right now it almost reach the final arc in another 1 or 2 volumes more.

Really reccomend u guys to try it as it really is one of the most interesting novel i've read.. <<less

Interesting premise, bad follow through.

Somewhere along the line this just became a tr*shy tsundere romance novel, borne of misunderstandings and angst.

This novel is for masochists. I fcking wanted to throw my phone through a wall while reading this. MC has hero syndrome as well as an inferiority complex. Pair that with the auto tsundere translator and this is just pure torture to read. Somewhere along the line, FL just became a 2d Saint template and author must've noticed because he started adding harem features.

I Honestly hate the MC and none... more>> of the character relationships really draw me in either.

2/5 for character dev

Plot is pretty good, but There's so much deliberating to progress it that I Don't even remember the plot.

4/5 plot.

World building Feels extremely limited by MC's unwillingness to accept that he's in a new world and not just limited to the small confined space of a game.

3/5 World building

Translation quality is mediocre, bastard and idiot is used a lot but I'm guessing thats cuz original is full of "baka!" and sht.

3/5 <<less

Annoying

Firstly nothing happens in 40 chapters-
-Dude "makes" potion crops, which technically aren't his idea anyway and attends a tournament in which he faces no challenge, in fact he technically fights just a single person. 40 chapters in a nutshell.
Perhaps more things would happen if the author stopped talking about things that are "yet to come".

To those who Said "the plot dips after 2nd act" I ASK WHAT PLOT! NOTHING HAPPENS!

The concept doesn't make sense. Sometimes MC follows the original story sometimes he doesn't, but it doesn't matter, because... more>> it's not very well explained how much of it is important. For all I know he could just go to the end of the world and spend his days there and let the events play themselves out. Yet he switches things up over and over again for a reason unknown to me. Ultimately I have no idea what the motivation for his actions are.

first 20-25 are chapters written in 3rd person, then out of freaking nowhere the author switches to first person pov even going so far as to switching his pov to Fodder Enemy A. It's confusing and annoying as..........

MC get's involved where he shouldn't... cuz he's a gud boi... and he doesn't get involved where he should.

There's more but in Harlods word's: The novel is a waste of my time and a pathetic disappointment. <<less

A rare type of isekai which the plot is quite likeable. MC is reborn to hated character, had foul mouth and looking edgy somehow (lol). Typical guys who looking like a bad guys but actually a good guys, just the world setting to MC just too strong to against. There's a lot thing that make this novel isnt pretty good such like wtf slow romance, MC keep trying inconvencience things not alike a smart MC, a lot plothole etc.

However the feeling somehow felt real, altho I know its somehow misunderstand,... more>> some of character inside felt alive and give some feels to reader. Maybe you guys feel annoying, or even sheeding tears.

Im sure 4/5 is enough for rare type isekai but 5/5 just because theres not a lot novel can move ur feeling, especially isekai type. <<less
