Good story with good characters. The only female lead introduced so far stands out for her kindness and empathy, and our seemingly cold and stoic protagonist has far more complex emotions bubbling inside him than your stereotypical "badass." This makes you pity him when he's down and it makes you look forward to when he reconnects with the female lead, as even simple small talk from her comforts him. The gender-reverse trope makes for interesting interactions, whether it simply be comedic moments, or even the more serious side of being... more>> "lesser" in a society of gender domination (r*pe culture, dehumanization, oversexualization), though it never really has an serious effect on the plot other than telling the MC that the Earth outside the game is not the one that he's from. Good read, would recommend. <<less

The story is surprisingly good, and the gender-reversed setting is a clever move by the author. By reversing traditional gender roles instead of going for a gender-bender plot, the author avoids potential controversies or backlash from the fans, which is a smart choice. In this world, women hold the power typically associated with men, and that dynamic is key to the conflicts the MC faces. Many of the enemies he encounters are women, and some even have intentions of raping him, fitting with the reversed societal roles.

As for the story,... more>> it doesn't have a clear end goal yet. Instead, it focuses on the MC's survival and his ongoing struggle against having his body taken over by a demon. The MC himself is refreshing, he's rational, makes good decisions, and isn't your typical pe*verted or annoying protagonist. He's actually quite gentlemanly, despite living in seclusion.

The world-building is somewhat lacking at this point, and the power system hasn't been fully fleshed out yet. It seems like a standard fantasy setup but hasn't been explored in much detail. While the premise and material are solid, the execution of the story leaves something to be desired. There's a certain something missing in the writing that could elevate it, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what.

Overall, I'd give it a 4.5/5. It has potential, and I'm still enjoying it so far. With stronger writing, it could definitely become something great.

PS. It's quite similar to 'I Became a Raid Boss' with the protagonist being an NPC and players from Earth playing the VR game, thus influencing the world with their actions. <<less

Not rating this yet, but enjoying it so far. Tentative review is 4 or 5 stars.

Minor Spoiler:

If the story keeps up this well in the next 10 or so chapters I will probably rate it 5 stars. Translation is solid in my opinion.

Anyways, Yor is a reincarnated individual who has Demon Blood. Once a month, Yor enters a berserk state that can destroy his surroundings. The people of his world, wary of demons, do the only thing medieval villagers did, and tried to kill him. Yor escapes, and now lives alone in the woods. Years later, the world he lives in becomes the playground of another world.

I enjoyed the first ten chapters, but I don't know what is the end goal of this story.... more>> Is Yor suppose to get back to Earth? Save all of the Demon Bloods? Get otherworld waifus? I can only wait and see.

I recommend reading this if you enjoy gender reversals and an overpowered MC. <<less
