Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Leon, a former Japanese worker, was reincarnated into an “otome game” world, and despaired at how it was a world where females hold dominance over males.

It was as if men were just livestock that served as stepping stones for females in this world.

The only exceptions were the game’s capture targets, a group of ikemen led by the crown prince.

In these bizarre circumstances, Leon held one weapon.

He has knowledge from his previous world, where his brazen sister had forced him to complete this game.

Leon, who really just wants to to live as a shut-in in the countryside, uses that knowledge to unexpectedly raise a ferocious revolt against the women and ikemen.

The curtains begin for an exhilarating fantasy about overtaking the fiendish heroine.

I enjoyed the novel, it is satisfactory. Obviously MC is overpowered due to his mecha, but up to vol 3 MC mostly depends on the mecha to solve the problems but in second part of otome game author has shown us MC has more to him than his cheat mecha.

I like how MC don't use his power and try to live a normal life even though 90% of characters treat him like shit. Most of the typical OP MC after going through deep sh*t want to destroy the country or... more>> world.

Upto v3 MC has gone through lot of sh*t but there is no revenge part but in V4 he takes revenge himself how made him pissed, we are shown the dark side of MC. <<less

One of the good otome game genre novels with mob protaganist.

... more>>
Spoiler

Even though there are parts that I didn't like when reading this novel, overall it was enjoyable. I don't mind mob protaganist but MC has laid back attitude and won't make moves until he felt like it or it's necessary. He has mob protaganist mentality. He is annoying most of time but takes action when it's necassary.

[collapse]

First part of the story (up to V3 Epilogue + Extra story Rude and Rauda) was better than second part (V4+). Short story Marie Route was interesting too (there are 3 parts for now but it might continue until the last volume).

First part ending was satisfying for me.

Spoiler

Secod part more like new story on world tree continent with new main heroine.

Guys. Please realize that the awful setting comes from the otome world. The MC is fully aware on how sht the game is. The author is basically taking shots at otome games at having over the top settings and convenient plot progression. The author is doing all of this on purpose. The MC is just trying to not get involved with the game and settle down in peacefully, but we all know that's never easy.

After I finished at 2slow2t's site I had a 4.3ish rating at my heart. I went ahead for the syosetu web novel and spent two days to finish volume 5. Extremely disappointed. I recommend the author to change the title to "I've Became Able to Do Anything with My robots, but I Can't Seem to Get out of being popular". One thing that kind of bothered me after finishing V2c4 was V1's prologue b/c why would Marie ask Leon to complete a game b/c it's hard? What's the point? It's an otome game, you get the satisfaction of a game by going through the story and hardship. Though, that's not the focus. The story was enjoyable, but thing changed quickly. Huge spoiler up to v5 -> Okay, the author absolutely abandoned the setting of female over male after V3, and Leon is no longer a mob but an Earl. In the game, Leon has absolute superiority over Marie. Marie is afraid of Leon to death. She had a child in her previous life and broke up with her husband, and died b/c of bf abused her. Then, she came to this world and completed a reverse harem... However, that's not the problem. Leon became your typical happy go lucky harem protagonist along with his sister's reverse-harem. Leon's AI and airship are just beyond op. They can literally obliterate a whole country. In volume 3, he defeated the invaders and got engaged with Ange and Oiliva. Everything was fine until that point.

Volume 4 was the start of the downfall of the story when they start the second gen of this "game". Leon became an exchange student of another country because his sister told him that the game had second gen, and so he and his sister + the reverse harem idiots went onto the journey. The country is so-called "the strongest defensive country" because they have endless energy from the holy tree and don't require energy stones to run their airships. Anyhow, Leon's airship can basically go against the whole country. Not to mention, the characters in this second generation became extremely boring with no developments at all. Olivia basically became a shadow. Leon immediately fell in love with this second gen's main protagonist after saving her from the "abusive male main character (Eric)."Ange even went as far as wanting Leon to marry this second gen's main protagonist "Noel" because their country could obtain the seed of this holy tree and couple hundreds of years later they won't need the mana stones. I found Noel as an extremely boring character with no character development at all. Although I'm not a big fan of "holy saint" type of character like Olivia, at least there's growth for her and Ange. However, Noel is just Noel, she's ur typical older sister good at housework type of girl. The author also decided to include other reincarnated characters. Honestly, it became a mess. The reading went from delightful to extreme exhaustion. Could have been a good story, but the author decided to deviate from all the original settings from V1-V3 and turned Leon into ur ordinary op harem protagonist. Sigh.

This world is freaking hilarious

The world is the same world settings as the mentioned otome game, but for some reason the gender morale standpoint between man and woman has been reversed (and women now capable of being an arse like usual man from the middle-age novel settings)

It completely get my attention. Sleeping tiger vs the world of ar$ehole (most char. Is just unreasonable and unreasonable hence the name)

I can't wait the rise of the MC, just want to see how he react when he know he become something... more>> other than mob <<less

This is an OP MC male protagonist story with an otoge settings with harem and mecha.

People who are looking for a legid otogenations story will prolly want to skip this.

But the story is funny. The male MC is also relatable (for male).

Lots of parody about an otoge settings. With a male POV.

This novel is for boys despite the otoge titles..

Reads like a typical isekai academy story so far.

One thing that really bothers me is the social hierarchy. It's a matriarchy, apparently, but I haven't seen anything worldbuilding-wise that is compelling and would convince me so. Every single heir to a title is apparently a male, and even though the MC has sisters, they aren't ahead of the brother in the line of succession for his barony??? Constant whinging about the female dominance in this otome game world really irks me when the writing and story suggests otherwise.

This novel is unique compared to other novels with the setting of male reincarnated in an otome game (which is already somewhat unique setting as is), some may like it while others won't but that will depend on personal preferences. There are some points, however, that I would like to clarify about this novel that is likely to be misunderstood.
  • While it may look like a feminist world that strongly favours women, it isn't like the women are the one who holds the political power, and the reason for this isn't just dismissed as being the setting of the otome game, there is a proper reason for how this came to be that will be explained later on, and it isn't like the whole world is like this
  • The MC gets OP very early thanks to the OP equipment he gets, so rather than being a story about him getting stronger, it's about him NOT using that power as much as possible, since he doesn't want to get used to it and become drunk on power, instead preferring a relaxed life.
  • The otome game world holds a lot more secrets beyond to being just a game targeted for women, some of which are even outside from what is shown in the game
    Spoiler

    Very heavy spoilers below

So overall I would recommend giving this novel a try, just know that even if there are some things that you may not like, everything has a reason for it to happen which do get explained later on, and nothing will be dismissed as just being a "feature" of the game.

So... the Kingdom's name when translated by Google from the raw is Hörfart. While it sounds like "Hulr-Fart" the spelling makes me think of "Whore-Fart" which would be perfect for the setting of the story xD 10/10 would read for the who*e farts.

I have never wanted a character to die a very prolonged and painful death as I have with Marie. May she burn in eternal hellfire with an itchy crotch. She's gonna f*ck everything up. f*ck it all to hell.

I think this is aimed towards guys more than girls, but as a girl I actually find it rather refreshing. I mean, it's super irritating to read how bitchy girls can get but... there are so many stories with slag men and how men are the worst. It's only fair that the roles get reversed once in awhile.

There's very blatant sexism in this novel (in favour of girls this time), but I do take some satisfaction in the role reversal. Like ... more>>
Spoiler

the MC wonders if this is what it feels like when young girls are sold to perverted middle-aged men when his stepmother tries to sell him off to perverted middle-aged women.

[collapse]

It's definitely jarring to read in some places, because we're so used to 'normal' convention. But the MC's idea of a 'good girl' clashes furiously with the settings of the game. I find it interesting because the novel acknowledges that not all girls are like this, just that the MC's status happens to meet the specific middle-nobility that perpetuates that particular type of girl.

I do get a bit irritated at how the women in that setting flaunt their so-called 'elf lovers' and walk about with multiple entanglements though. Even in the normal world, guys don't do that. I appreciate how the word 'slut' isn't thrown about (since I myself advocate the love whoever you want as much as you want as long as you're responsible and decent about it motto) because it's 'normal' in the world, but I do think it very, very often because of my own values.

I doubt this is a story that actually intends to empower women, but it's an interesting take on reverse sexism. I mean, whichever way it goes, sexism does tend to create complete a**holes. I also like how it takes into consideration that women are still women and not ridiculous men-with-boobs who are stronger and fight and whatnot and that's why society is 'matriarchal'. <<less

So many bad points about this novel:

  1. Unreasonable and illogical social hierarchy. The men do all the work yet the women reap all the profits.
  2. Not an otome novel despite having the word otome in its name. Trashy isekai setting with those floating islands, airships and robots.
  3. The MC keeps looking down on himself and thinking about a comfortable shut-in life yet there's no way the nobles gonna leave him be with that much money in his hands.
  4. The MC doesn't try to do anything to change his life until the crisis came right before his face.
  5. Too many unnecessary words that only increase the story's length and not contribute anything to the actual plot.

(My original first review) (after reach Volume 2 chapter 6) (Rated 1*)

Honestly speaking, the story is quite good at a first try. I mean when you read only about starter volume, which is Volume 1 LN.

When you read this novel, you will get quite interesting feeling, as you see how the MC attitude and how the theme is quite new to some reader when considering an "Isekai" world.

But after reading it quite further, especially when it reach volume 2, things get more nasty to the point... more>> of beeing garbage.

what I mean is not about the story as a whole, but the whole story got trashed because the MC itself.

The Author keep always make an excuse to defend the MC by saying for example;

    • "yeah, I know I am half-hearted and I know it is wrong, but I don't care" (which mean even he is wrong, he thinks he did the right things as long as he didn't bothered, to put it simple "Hypocrite")
    • "I am just a mob, I don't want to step in the protagonist role" (Yet, since the very beginning he already make up his mind to steal the protagonist precious support items)
    • "I just want to live in peaceful life, and free. So I don't want to be dragged down by the world" (But all he did is to find trouble and use excuse to justify his doing)
    • "This is a world of otome games to begin with, so it was a cruel world" (He clearly know that it is not a game anymore and he knows that if he do something wrong, then he will the whole thing gone mess, yet HE STILL PUT IT UP AS IT WAS A GAME EVEN WHEN HE KNOWS THAT IT IS NOT A GAME ANYMORE)
Also the Author was using the "Lexon" A.I support machine as the third perspective person, which will argue about what the MC thinks. It is so called a self defense to the story,

to make all of us thinking that the Author is really aware of the MC stupidity, but yet..

aghh im so dissapointed.

not to mention how to author is die hard with making people "Sympathy" to MC by saying such as : (ofcourse it needs long narration to feel the sympathy)

-----------

"I am idiot, yeah I know I am idiot, no need to mention it, I really know it. But why, why do I have to suffer" (basically he is not suffering any bad thing or such, he just expressing himself but pretending that he is the victim). --------------

"Is this a Karma?, why do I deserve this, I just want it back into the track where protagonist should be. (In this part he began to feel jealousy but didn't want to admit)

-----------

as you guys can see the newly review got more and more criticism rather then praising to the novel, well it is indeed true,

because the novel become a trash as the story goes.

but maybe I just a little disappointed so far as my current state in Volume 2 chapter 6.

But while I was writing this, I see the people who has already read far a head still has the same problem pretty much as me. so I think it is really true that the story is becoming a trash, ruined by the MC itself as the Author as the leading.

to be honest, dont trust the 5* people who rated it. Mostly of them just read the early Volume, and then the rest is just who got trapped because want it or not they already read to far, so they hard to give it up.

But, well everyone has their own opinion. So if you doubt, just go try yourself and read the novel. You may Like it, or you may curse it.

Btw, not to mention HIS LITTLE SISTER WHO IS TOTALLY A bit*h ROTTEN TO THE CORE WITH ANNOYING SHIT.

Ok, To put it simple in all way

    • MC is Fcking worse of worst HYPOCRITE
    • The MC is a Fcking Coward
    • Totally Loser (Loser in a sense who act tough with his persona to hide his cowardly nature)
    • Love to "Play-Victim" to get people sympathy, and to justify his fault
(My second review)

Spoiler

(after reach Volume 3 epilogue) (I rated 3*)

Ok, at first I was thinking to dropped this sh*t novel before. But then I think I need to give it a chance, since it is not fair to just gave 1* when it's only reach Volume 2.

Also it was because I read some comment in the site that provide the translated novel, people say that the MC will actually started to change (almost Half of it was true, but most of it is still the same sh*t when finished the volume 3) and the story will get better in the next volume (which mean volume 3 and above).

ok lets talk about the story and development, it is indeed things in this volume started to change in to somehow better than previous volume. The story about Kingdom and their enemy come into conclusion and have significant result about war. Which is indeed got to the story and it proved that the story is progressing and not just idle with nonsense shit. Also the development on their surrounding started to change with clear value, but also plenty sh*t still remain the same.

Actually I was feeling in this volume things were somehow got little rushed (not that fast as you imagine, thats why I said "Little"), well it is not bad.

Then I was right, because it is actually an end of this kingdom arc. And was about to move into new kingdom in next volume, thats why things was need to be cleared in this Volume 3. So when it enter new arc in next volume, there will be less sh*t for readers to complaint or find fault.

Then next we need to talk about our fcking trash MC, seriously this guy is totally hopeless and full of disappointment. To be honest,

the Author is somehow intentionally make this MC to be that shit. He indeed change too, but it is because the SITUATION that force him. I know I might sounds like hating this MC too much, honestly speaking yes I hate him. If you already read Volume 1-2 then you may know why.

Because I know his core didn't change, so when the situation is not that matter again he will back to the past shitty attitude.

I know that Character needs a special traits so people can easily remember them. But seriously, if you guys was asking me in this novel who will deserve to be MC, then I will proudly say it was LUXION. Yeah LUXION the A.I support.

Also the other characters in this volume is getting more better results, especially his little sister (yep that bitchie from his previous life).

well, as always it is better for you to read it by yourself to confirm it, since my review might be just an opinion of my own perspective. But feel free to get things based on my review too. Well.. Good luck, if you can survive in Volume 2.

Ok next is just a conclusion in simply way

  • The MC is still a sh*t despite the situation (Because if the situation become normal again, he will come back to that shitty MC in volume 2)
  • The Story is Good (Good in my term is, it is moving and not just idling with nonsense)

That's why right now I rated this novel as 3*, got 2 more * than the first time I rated. Because the Story and Development give it fair to added 2 more *.

Update: Ok, some parts just really irks me. The MC can be such a pushover sometimes because he's too much of a passive pacifist who won't even kill or even cripple a single enemy. Gets beaten up quite often. Sometimes gets ordered to do this and that like be a bodyguard for a certain betch but still goes along with it.

The kingdom is rotting and literally all the other students are shallow 2 dimensional trash. MC doesn't do or even try to do anything with his cheat, doesn't even think... more>> about leaving the kingdom either when that's clearly an easy option open to him with his cheat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The setting is also unique for an otome reincarnation story.

The MC might be a lazy bastard, but goddamn I love his personality/attitude. I mean, just look at him on that cover. He's honest and blunt, stupid yet smart enough to know his limits, someone who's willing to win even by fighting dirty.

You might not like it at first, but keep reading, it gets started when he finally stops watching. <<less

Written by the author of sevens and dragon, it's pretty entertaining. A little bit different from his previous work though, that the MC is strong from the beginning instead of going from weak to strong as his usual style. While entertaining, I have to admit it's not as good as sevens, mainly due to him picking the strong from beginning MC to start the story. The quality of the heroine is also lower than his usual works. There's some politics but it's not quite prevalent here.

Even though it has flaws,... more>> it's still better than usual isekai series. <<less

In all honesty, every bad reviews here are biased, and some not even true at all, except few reviews from readers who already past volume 2.

Look, we all understand you have your own taste and all, but don't give a review, especially bad one, if you've been only reading for like, not even 10 or 20 chapters. I totally respect bad reviews from anyone who keep up with this novel till volume 2 or 3, but please stop doing something so shytty as reviewing something you dont even know.

Bad world... more>> setting?? Haaa?? So what? That world was created like that. Author want to show how badly an otomege can be, since we all already knows how bad a galge can be.

Look, you're not qualified to review this, and any other novels if you're just reading it for few chapter. Admit it, its not your cup of tea. Everyone have their own taste, and its not the novel problem if its not to your preferences. So please don't be a shitty reviewer who gave a bad review to a novel after they're done reading only a few chapters

Edit: regarding translator

Spoiler

As of February 8, 2020, I realized that the translator of this novel (bakapervert) is one of the best translator in all my years of reading novels. Why? Take a look at the interval of each updates. As of now, he/she keep spamming a very high quality updates (with very minimal typo errors) in the morning, just when you are about to get a breakfast but then realized you got a scrumptious breakfast on NU instead, then when you're about to have a dinner you would realize that you're gonna have another scrumptious meal (on NU). Then when you're about to sleep after gaming till midnight, bakapervert will give you a midnight snack to make sure you are able to sleep soundly. This cycle repeats everyday unless any problem occurred to bakapervert.

Bakapervert never left you hanging on cliffhanger, unless he/she join you too.

You see. This novel have at least 2000 words per chapter. AT LEAST. At average tho, it'll be around 5000 and above.

Bakapervert really pushed him/herself to translate at least 2 chapter a day, FOR FREE. There's patreon but he/she never really ask for money. You don't need to be a patreon in order to access early chapter update and such. If you enjoyed reading his/her translation, and have surplus of money, please do support him by donating, and I definitely would.

Again, BP if you're reading this, you're doing one hella job of translation. Mad respect for your dedication!

Written at start of VOL 2, end of chapter 1
The novel describes a future we all will share if we sit around and let third-wave feminists do as they want. The characters are nice, nothing too outstanding but they are likable enough. The plot is enjoyable so far. I have stayed on the course because I want to see those obnoxious people owned, and the author hasn't disappointed. Sadly, the TL has stayed true to his moniker so the wait for chapters is agonizing. 4 days for a part... more>> of a single chapter. Exile into hell would have been a kinder fate.

Update as of 2020/1/20, end of Vol 4 + All the extras.

Everything other people has complained about was dealt away with.

The MC is growing a spine.

The hierarchy actually makes sh*t ton of sense.

Characters have become much more interesting.

THE PLOT HAS GOTTEN REAL INTERESTING.

Other reincarnations have shown up and their motives are up in the air.

So, I feel compelled to write a review to balance some of the unreasonably negative one here. First of all, despite the Otome world mention in title, this in is more shounen than shoujo. And some people has been saying that the setting is absurd, and it is. That's the main point of the story, the MC reincarnated to an Otome game World which is really favourable to female, and even the MC is saying the world is weird.

And the MC does have a laid back attitude. It does make... more>> an interesting story though, since the MC fumbling around like that. That, and included the weird world, making this novel a hilarious one.

If you expect to read Otome story on the title, don't. This one clearly not to a story aimed toward OP shoujo style reader. This story is intended to mock those trashy isekai Otome story instead. <<less

Damn, that an unexpected gem!

It's light-hearted, but at the same time a smart story, characters don't seem to be one-dimensional (even if MC sometimes thinks that they are), there is cute moments, there is hilarious moves, there is a dark-ish moments (they are actually quite dark, but since we see it through MC and MC attitude toward them is light-hearted, it's still keep the mood of the story very well).

Also, judging by images, he going to have a mecha with spade as a weapon, Russian army approves.

MC himself is likeable... more>> character, he is cynical sociopath most of the time and a bit selfish, but he is actually kind to whoever he think are a good people, and his kindness don't seem unfitting. His ambitions is very small, so he do not go out of his way to fight people for hoarding stuff either.

Edit: Well, I read to the end of third volume. Many things that looked like nonsense and just Otome setting was actually explained. It wasn't in one info dump, it's actually scattered through story, although there is major conversation with the Queen that explain some strangest things in the 3rd volume that makes enough sense. But it's kind of oblivious that this is afterthought on the author's part.

Now, thought almost all story MC is annoyingly indecisive in romance, to the point that

Spoiler

he is tricked by his family, royalty, duke, two girls and two advanced ancient AI to go to his own engagement ceremony. He managed to escape previous attempts to corner him, but he can't run forever

And it's seems that this is not going to be final volume. Yay? Yay. It gives you laughs, there almost no filler episodes, there is cool scenes and some of real character development (although some character seems uncapable to develop and this is part of their character). <<less

please do not listen to those talking about how "beta" the MC is for refusing to kill or because of his insecurities. The MC doesnt want to kill because he is a f*cking teenager who doesn't want PTSD. Something is wrong with you people thinking someone has to kill to be "alpha" or manly. The MC is going above and beyond to make sure no one dies, and that is extremely commendable. PLUS, ... more>>
Spoiler

by the end of chapter 11 the MC gets over his insecurities of being unworthy of the 2 love interests and decides instead of accepting his inability to stand by them, he will work to become someone who can.

real romance spoilers here

That said he still doesnt know how to respond to livia's confession by the end of the second volume, but I think he will accept it eventually, this novel has been admirably good about keeping misunderstandings short lived

rant aside, this is a fantastic novel, top grade, dialogue gets wordy when the MC goes on rants about how shitty the shitty nobles are, but it's great most of the time. I didn't think the second volume was that much worse than the first. I think if this novel was converted to a manga, it would be amazing. The reactions between the capture targets and the MC, as well as the dialogue between the MC and the AI are all pretty great.

I admit the MC may seem annoying at first, but he actually grows. Maybe I've read too many korean novel protagonists who are borderline sociopaths, but its refreshing to see an MC who wants to be good, who wants to help those who are bullied. And yet at the same time the MC is flawed in ways that make him interesting.

I feel pretty satisfied after reading this, its a great novel, doesn't needlessly stretch out the plot, doesn't take forever to describe how awesomely powerful the MC is. There is magic, but its mentioned offhandedly as magic and monsters are used to enhance the setting rather than be the focal point. You will sometimes read about people using magic to enhance their punches, and how magic spells are used to kill monsters, but it isnt a fighting action novel, its a fantasy novel that has fighting and action in it. A crucial difference that makes this story 100× for the better.

give this a chance no matter if you enjoy reincarnation otome novels or not, its just a damn good young adult mix of scifi, fantasy, and a dash of romance that picks up in the second volume. <<less

I really like the idea of placing MC in matrialchal society. But suspension of disbelief in this one is hard to contain. It's just hurtful to read about all this harem-seeking evil noble girls. Sure I understand that author is trying to place young women in the postition of young men in other novels. But he just conviniently ignores psychological diffrences between gender which cause women in positions of power and comfort seek different things than men do. It makes all non-love intrest women in the novel to look like... more>> 1-dimensional villans without any depth. It's painful to read.

Class and social system also don't make any sense. Dungeon and adventuring system? Complete gibberish.

MC doesn't really help the novel. Author tries to make him a real character with agenda, likes and dislikes. But in the and is the all on the surface, MC only acts because of the plot and world (which supposed to be unconvinient for males) bends to accomodate him, no matter how stupid his actions are. What is probably different from other novels is that author also bends MC character to accomodate plot (Sometimes don't accepts social standards/hierachy and somtimes he does because of reasons).

Like with Sevens little incosistencies, nonsensical developments and freaking robots ruined interesing idea for me. I really hoped that author will grow as a writer compared to his previous work so I can't help but stay disappointed. But is still better than lot of trash here, so I won't give one star because of resetment. <<less
