This novel, quite frankly, ranks among the worst out there. However, it's worth a read for its initial volume alone. The protagonist starts off as a stereotypical bullied underdog with no redeeming qualities. Predictably, the narrative takes a turn when the MC undergoes a sudden personality shift, which initially makes the story engaging. But as the harem dynamic sets in, the book devolves into cringe territory. The MC's edgy persona becomes grating, with him constantly boasting about doing whatever he pleases, yet consistently acting in accordance with morality rather than his claims. This inconsistency creates a jarring disconnect.
If you're seeking a work from an author inexperienced in life and social dynamics, this might pique your interest, but don't anticipate any realism. It's unfortunate that the character lacks authenticity; if the MC possessed the confidence and autonomy of a character like Summoned Slaughterer, the story might have been more appealing. Instead, we get a generic shonen protagonist, attempting to be edgy and dark, but coming across as a one-dimensional imitation.
This isn't a conventional light novel; it reads more like a fanfiction where a bullied virgin writer pours out their fantasies, struggling to develop relatable characters, male or female.
