I love it. Jake does a good job of feeling like a human and not a MC...
It is nice that well Jake mostly goes solo the people he works with keep up in power (kinda It's complicated)
Give it a go for a few chapters worst case scenario you're out sometime ?

This is the first time I have read such an extensive novel and I must say that I loved it. Super recommended, by the way, don't pay so much attention to the bad comments. Tastes are as varied as colors, others may not like this novel, but you like it.
I'm sorry if I don't write very well in English, I'm still learning :)
found out about this from the anime how would yall say it compares to it has it been more or less enjoyable for u?
God this is so infuriating how the ML and FL are dancing around their feelings and not actually realizing that they like each other. I swear it's like 200 chapters in and everything could have been solved by chapter 20 if they actually just friggen talked about it instead of doing this weird back and forth game of 'trying to not love the other because the other can't be theirs for some nonsense reason'. I mean I'm still gonna keep reading, but seriously, why can't they just drop their pride and pretenses and just talk about their feelings instead of playing guessing games and nonsense.
This is my first time leaving a comment, but I just had to share. The main character (MC) is adorable and has a very relatable personality. He's not a perfect character, but rather a complex individual with flaws, which makes him all the more compelling. I believe his upbringing plays a significant role in shaping his perspective on relationships and contributes to his low self-esteem.
I respectfully disagree with those who claim that he hasn't changed after returning. Although his behavior might seem consistent at times, he does put in effort, and there are moments where he struggles to control his actions. The male lead (ML) is fantastic, and we get to see him through the MC's eyes, but it's important to remember that the MC's perception is colored by love, which might not always be accurate. So far, we've only seen glimpses of the ML's imperfections, and I'm excited to see more development in his character.
I'll primarily discuss the first 1-2 chapters and a few initial ones, so there might be some spoilers for the early parts of the story.
The narrative revolves around a character who becomes possessed by a seemingly "fake" villain, Duke Piggington. He is incredibly wealthy and influential but has a tragic backstory. As a child, he saved a girl from slavery and fell in love with her. However, due to her status as a slave, he couldn't marry her unless he renounced his family, leading him to manipulate events to be disinherited. This manipulation involved tarnishing his family's reputation and even gaining a comical appearance resembling a pig.
What sets this apart is that the girl he loves is the princess of a fallen kingdom, constantly under threat from assassins. Duke Piggington has been secretly protecting her for years. There's a hint that revealing her identity might expose them, but the story doesn't explore this further. Ultimately, the true protagonist steals his love interest away because of a chance encounter, leaving Duke heartbroken.
The main love interest is portrayed as attractive, but the reasons for Duke's intense devotion remain unclear. He sacrifices his fiancée and his old life solely because he liked her from an anime version of the story. It's suggested she left Duke for the main protagonist due to his perceived attractiveness, focusing on physical appearance rather than deeper connections.
The plot progresses with the protagonist deciding not to be as devoted as Duke and aiming to slim down and confess, despite knowing the outcome might not change. The story includes quirks like a magical potion to lose weight, which Duke has to acquire through a school eating contest for comedic effect. However, the love interest ruins his attempt, and he must start over after gaining weight from his previous efforts.
In summary, the story follows the protagonist as they inhabit Duke's body, pining for an anime crush, attempting to lose weight, and silently protecting others while facing ridicule. It explores themes of love, sacrifice, and self-discovery amidst a mix of humor and drama.
